METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED APPLICATION SIGNALING FROM A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE

摘要

Methods and apparatus for signaling adjustments include identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a change in a reachability state of the UE based at least in part on one or more channel metrics determined by a modem in the UE. Further, the methods and apparatus include adjusting a transmission of connectivity signals (e.g., keep-alive signals) to a server from an application on the UE, the adjusting being based at least in part on an indication of the change in the reachability state provided to the application via an interface in communication with the modem (e.g., modem application programming interface or API). Additionally, the methods and apparatus can include transmitting an indication of the change in the reachability state to the server. Moreover, the methods and apparatus may accommodate signaling adjustments for one or more applications on the UE and one or more servers in a wireless communication system.
