Abstract
Power and resource efficiency of a mobile network device are increased. In one aspect, a Tail Optimization Protocol (TOP) enables cooperation between a mobile device and an associated radio access network to eliminate idle periods (e.g., tails) when possible. Various systems and methods described herein can leverage the ability of applications and/or their associated connections to accurately predict a long tail time, from which a mobile device can notify an associated cellular network on such an imminent tail in order to allow the cellular network to immediately release tail resources. Various other aspects provided herein realize TOP via fast dormancy and/or other similar notification mechanisms, which enable a handset or other device to notify a cellular network for immediate resource release.

2. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a system comprising a processor, a time period of a network inactivity timer that is employable to transition a user equipment from a first communicative state to a second communicative state, wherein a first set of radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the first communicative state is greater than a second set of the radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the second communicative state; and based on the time period, customizing, by the system, a tail timing criterion that is employable to transition the user equipment from the first communicative state to a third communicative state, wherein a third set of radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the third communicative state is less than the second set of the radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the second communicative state. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; receiving timing data indicative of a time period of a network inactivity timer that is employable to transition a user equipment from a first communicative state to a second communicative state, wherein a first set of radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the first communicative state is greater than a second set of the radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the second communicative state, and based on the timing data, determining a tail timing criterion that is employable to transition the user equipment from the first communicative state to a third communicative state, wherein a third set of radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the third communicative state is less than the second set of the radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the second communicative state. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
based on a time period of a network inactivity timer that is employable to transition a user equipment from a first communicative state to a second communicative state, customizing a tail timing criterion that is employable to transition of the user equipment from the first communicative state to a third communicative state, wherein a first set of radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the first communicative state is greater than a second set of the radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the second communicative state, and a third set of radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the third communicative state is less than the second set of the radio resources utilized by the user equipment in the second communicative state; and in response to determining that the tail timing criterion has been satisfied, initiating a transition of the user equipment from the first communicative state to a third communicative state. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
