METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONSERVING ENERGY USED BY A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of saving energy in a mobile device configured to maintain a persistent communication session with an application server over a wireless network, the method comprising:
- detecting a traffic pattern between the mobile device and the application server for maintaining the persistent communication session; and
automatically initiating a transition of the mobile device from a first operating state to a second operating state in response to detecting the traffic pattern, wherein power consumption associated with the second operating state is less than power consumption associated with the first operating state.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for saving energy in a mobile device configured to maintain a persistent communication session with an application server over a wireless network. A method comprises detecting a traffic pattern between a mobile device and an application server for maintaining a persistent communication session and automatically initiating a transition of the mobile device from a first operating state to a second operating state in response to detecting the traffic pattern. The power consumption associated with the second operating state is less than power consumption associated with the first operating state.

12. A method for operating user equipment configured to wirelessly communicate with a radio access network, the method comprising:
-
establishing, by the user equipment, a persistent internet protocol (IP) connection with an application service over the radio access network; identifying, by the user equipment, a traffic pattern for maintaining the persistent IP connection; and automatically configuring the user equipment for an idle state in response to identifying the traffic pattern. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A mobile device comprising:
-
an application module configured to execute application software, the application software being configured to support a persistent connection with an application server in communication with a wireless network; a baseband module coupled to the application module; a transmitter arrangement coupled to the baseband module, the baseband module and the transmitter arrangement being cooperatively configured to transmit messages to the application server from the application software over the wireless network, wherein the baseband module is configured to; identify a message being transmitted on behalf of the application software for maintaining the persistent connection; and disabling the transmitter arrangement after identifying the message. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
