MODELING NETWORK SIGNALING IN A MOBILE NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of modeling signaling in a mobile network, the method comprising:
- determining if transactions initiated by mobile applications executing on a mobile device in the mobile network cause network signaling requiring a corresponding radio connection,wherein at least a portion of the network signaling caused by the transactions is filtered by a traffic optimization engine; and
modeling the network signaling for the mobile device based, at least in part, on the filtered network signaling.

Abstract
The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for modeling signaling and/or connections in a mobile network, and specifically, the benefits of any optimization technique on the traffic including signals and/or connections in the mobile network. Embodiments can allocate signaling to specific applications (e.g., to determine which applications are chatty and which can cause problematic signaling), and/or to further model the optimizations or savings utilizing the disclosed traffic optimization technology. In some embodiments, to enable or enhance the performance of the data traffic and signal optimization for the network, the disclosed technology includes one or more fields (e.g., an expanded “CRCS” fields) that are calculated by, for example, a CRCS analysis core module, to define and identify at least: (1) whether a transaction causes a connection (and thus signaling); and (2) the number of connections that are reduced or saved by the disclosed embodiments of distributed caching and proxy system.
