Mobile application traffic optimization

摘要

Systems and methods for mobile application traffic optimization are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a distributed proxy and cache system, including, a local proxy on a mobile device for intercepting a data request made via a mobile device, and a proxy server coupled to the mobile device and a content server to which the data request is directed. In one embodiment, the local proxy can forward the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the content server for a response to the data request. In addition, the proxy server sends the data request to the content server independent of activities on the local proxy and notifies the local proxy when changed or different content on the content server is detected for the data request. One embodiment of the distributed proxy and cache system further includes a cache shared between the local proxy and the proxy server and the component on the local proxy and is queried for a locally stored response to the data request prior to the data request being forwarded on to the proxy server.

主权项

1. A method for optimizing traffic in a wireless network, the method, comprising:
using application behavior of multiple applications accessed on a mobile device to detect recurrences in application requests made by the multiple applications;
using the recurrences, offloading polling of content sources that would result from the application requests that would be performed at the mobile device to be performed instead, by a proxy server remote from the mobile device in the wireless network,wherein the polling is offloaded when the recurrences match a rule, the rule being based on one of:detected requests for the same resource that has the same content or returned value; ordetected repeatable time periods between detected requests.
