1. A method for optimized always-on wireless service, comprising:

  • monitoring requests for always-on service from one or more applications or services on a user equipment (UE) that does not currently have always-on service from a network;

    transmitting, to the network, a message that requests a bearer dedicated to always-on service in response to receiving a request for the always-on service from at least one of the applications or services on the UE;

    receiving, at the UE, an availability time that indicates a period during which the bearer dedicated to the always-on service will be held in an active state; and

    transmitting a keep-alive message from the UE to the network before the availability time expires to reset the period during which the dedicated bearer will be held in the active state, wherein the UE maintains the state associated with the dedicated bearer and notifies the one or more applications or services on the UE to suppress keep-alive messages.
