TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATIONS RESOURCES FOR A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a radio arranged to communicate information over a wireless link;
a link classifier arranged to generate a class parameter for the wireless link based on signal quality measurements of the wireless link; and
a data service manager arranged to receive a data service request from an application, determine whether the application may communicate information over the wireless link based on the class parameter for the wireless link, and generate a control directive for the application granting or denying the data service request.
