Adjusting a polling interval for a first service based on a polling interval of a second service to align traffic received from distinct hosts

摘要

A system and method for managing data transfer to a mobile device in a wireless network comprising generating an adjusted polling interval for a first service based on a polling interval of a second service, wherein the first and second services are accessed on the mobile device and serviced by distinct hosts. The adjusted polling interval for the first service is used in aligning at least some traffic received from the distinct hosts that is transmitted in the wireless network due to access on the mobile device of the first and second service. The adjusted polling interval may be a multiple of a factor or a multiple of a denominator of the polling interval of the second service. The adjusted polling interval may be further determined based on time criticality of traffic from the first service relative to time criticality of traffic from the second service.
