Patent Images
1. A method of managing battery resources in a wireless device connected to a network via a plurality of bearer paths, said method comprising:
- receiving a content request from said wireless device via one of said bearer paths;
performing an analysis of content associated with said content request;
determining a battery-optimized bearer path based on said analysis of said content;
said battery-optimized bearer path determined according to which of said bearer paths consumes less battery resources of said wireless device than another one of said bearer paths, and which is also capable of fulfilling said content request;
sending an indication of said battery-optimized bearer path to said wireless device via one of said bearer paths.

Abstract
Battery resources in a wireless device are managed in the present specification by traffic steering. A wireless device is configured to request content from an intermediation server, which is configured to analyze the requested content and send an indication to the wireless device as to which bearer path is to be selected based on which bearer path is battery-life optimized
