Hierarchies and categories for management and deployment of policies for distributed wireless traffic optimization

摘要

Systems and methods for deploying and employing policies for wireless traffic optimization in a wireless network based on hierarchies are disclosed. One embodiment includes deploying a global policy set of the policies for wireless traffic optimization among mobile devices in the wireless network and deploying a first policy set of the policies among a first subset of mobile devices among the mobile devices. In one embodiment, the first subset of mobile devices meet a device-based criteria including one or more of, device type, device platform, or device model and any policy of the first policy set overwrites any policy of the global policy set in case of conflict when deployed on any of the first subset of mobile devices.

主权项

1. A method of utilizing hierarchies for managing policies for wireless traffic optimization in a wireless network, the method, comprising:
defining or identifying a first policy set among the policies for wireless traffic optimization as global policies without consideration of the device or its user; defining or identifying a second policy set among the policies as device policies that is dependent upon device characteristics; defining or identifying a third policy set among the policies as user policies that are specific to a user or specific to a user group; detecting that a conflict exists between either of the device policy and user policy with the global policy; and in response to detecting a conflict, overwriting the global policy with the one of the device policy and user policy.
