Abstract
Polling performed by multiple applications running on a device is coordinated. A central scheduling function can, for example, periodically issue polling event messages to the applications. The applications can, in turn, request the transmission of polling signals to their respective servers to request application updates. By coordinating transmission of polling signals battery consumption and network communication resources can be optimized.
