MOBILE DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE NETWORK CONGESTION RECOGNITION TO MAKE INTELLIGENT DECISIONS REGARDING CONNECTING TO AN OPERATOR NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for recognizing congestion in a mobile network to make intelligent decisions regarding connecting to an operator network is disclosed. A mobile device having a local proxy equipped with congestion recognition capabilities can use time elapsed to establish connection with a mobile base station in the mobile network to recognize congestion at the mobile base station. Further, in response to recognizing congestion at the mobile base station, the local proxy can selectively block traffic from the mobile device from traversing the mobile network to reduce signaling overload on the mobile network.

主权项

1. A system for reducing signaling overload on a mobile network, comprising:
a mobile client residing on a mobile device,
wherein the mobile client uses time elapsed to establish connection with a mobile base station in the mobile network to recognize congestion at the mobile base station, and in response to recognizing congestion at the mobile base station, selectively blocks traffic from the mobile device from traversing the mobile network to reduce signaling overload on the mobile network.
