Embodiment Construction

[0039] Methods and apparatus for integrating device policy and network policy to arbitrate priority for data connections between packet data applications or services are disclosed. Rather than using only network policy or device policy for arbitration, the described aspects incorporate a hybrid approach. For example, in one aspect, the hybrid arbitration algorithm uses settings from the card loaded into the device (e.g., network / carrier policies), and settings from memory on the device (e.g., device policies) in such a way that The above two intentions can be satisfied. For example, in one aspect, device policies are used to give preference to network policies when network policies cannot determine priority for competing applications or services. If device policy also fails to prioritize competing apps or services, the most recently launched app or service is allowed to connect. Also, in one aspect, shared connections to competing applications or services are allowed, eg, if...

Abstract

An apparatus or method integrates device policy and network policy in order to arbitrate a priority between packet data applications or services for a data connection. In response to a request, a data connection to a wireless network is established for a first application of a first type of application or service if no data session is in progress or if a second application of a second type of application or service can share an existing data session. A hybrid arbitrator performs hybrid arbitration between the first application and the second application in response to determining that the first type and the second type cannot share the existing data session, either based upon a network policy that specifies a difference in priority between the first type and the second type, or based upon a device policy if the network policy does not specify a difference in priority.

Description

[0001] Claim Priority Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119 [0002] This patent application claims priority to Provisional Application No. 61 / 413,276, filed November 12, 2010, entitled "METHODS AND APPARATUS OF INTEGRATING DEVICE POLICY AND NETWORK POLICY FOR ARBITRATION OF PACKET DATA APPLICATIONS," which has been assigned To the assignee of the present application, it is hereby expressly incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to communications, and more particularly to techniques for prioritizing access of applications or services to wireless packet data connections. Background technique [0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, data, and so on. These systems may be multiple-access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources such as bandwidth and transmit power. Examples of such multiple-a...
