MOBILE DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE NETWORK CONGESTION RECOGNITION TO MAKE INTELLIGENT DECISIONS REGARDING CONNECTING TO AN OPERATOR NETWORK
First Claim
1. A system for reducing signaling overload on a mobile network, comprising:
- a mobile client residing on a mobile device,wherein the mobile client uses time elapsed to establish connection with a mobile base station in the mobile network to recognize congestion at the mobile base station, and in response to recognizing congestion at the mobile base station, selectively blocks traffic from the mobile device from traversing the mobile network to reduce signaling overload on the mobile network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for recognizing congestion in a mobile network to make intelligent decisions regarding connecting to an operator network is disclosed. A mobile device having a local proxy equipped with congestion recognition capabilities can use time elapsed to establish connection with a mobile base station in the mobile network to recognize congestion at the mobile base station. Further, in response to recognizing congestion at the mobile base station, the local proxy can selectively block traffic from the mobile device from traversing the mobile network to reduce signaling overload on the mobile network.

14. A machine readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:
-
detect increase in setup times for connection requests in a mobile network from a baseline; detect congestion at one or more base stations in the mobile network based at least in part on the detected increase in setup times, wherein, the congestion is detected by the mobile client before a rejection to a connection request is received from one of the base stations. - View Dependent Claims (15)
