HIERARCHIES AND CATEGORIES FOR MANAGEMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF POLICIES FOR DISTRIBUTED WIRELESS TRAFFIC OPTIMIZATION

摘要

A wireless traffic optimisation system controls mobile device and server behaviour using policies. These may be global (applied to substantially all devices), device (eg. device type, OS or platform dependent) or user (including groups of users or particular applications). The policies are hierarchically ranked for resolving policy conflicts. Typically, high to low priority runs user device global. The policies may be implemented by proxies in mobile devices. Resolution of conflicts may occur at mobile device. The system may use SMS notification, which may instruct a device to open a data connection to download a high priority policy.
