Control signal traffic profile based mobile application access management

摘要

A computer implemented method and system manages selective access of a mobile application to one of multiple networks based on a control signal traffic profile of the mobile application created by a profile creation component. A mobile application access component (MAAC) processes a control signal request transmitted by the mobile application to a service provider. The MAAC receives threshold limits for different modes of operation of the mobile application from a service entity. The MAAC accesses control signal traffic profile parameters defining the control signal traffic profile, embedded in the mobile application. The MAAC normalizes and compares the control signal traffic profile parameters of the mobile application with the threshold limits. The MAAC grants, terminates, or switches access of the mobile application to a network based on the comparison of the control signal traffic profile parameters with the threshold limits for associated modes of operation of the mobile application.

1. A computer implemented method for creating a control signal traffic profile for a mobile application for managing selective access of said mobile application to one of a plurality of networks, comprising:
providing a profile creation component executable by at least one processor configured to create said control signal traffic profile for said mobile application; defining control signal traffic profile parameters for different modes of operation of said mobile application by said profile creation component; and embedding said defined control signal traffic profile parameters in said mobile application for creating said control signal traffic profile for said mobile application, wherein said mobile application is configured to selectively access said one of said networks based on said created control signal traffic profile.
