Abstract

In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is provided for implementing a message-by-message tunability of message reliability in a data-communication network comprising: providing an intermediate networking service for messaging between a plurality of different nodes of a data-communication network; periodically probing the data communication network of a mobile device to determine an identity of the data-communication network; querying an operating system of the mobile device to determine a current state of the data-communication network; and configuring a data transmission of a tuned message using an optimized protocol of the data-communication network based on a transmission speed of the current state of the data-communication network.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for message-by-message tunability of message reliability in a cellular data-communication network, the method comprising:

providing an intermediate networking service that enables message exchange between a mobile device communicatively connected to the cellular data-communication network and a plurality of different nodes;
determining a state of the cellular data-communication network at the mobile device;
configuring transmission of a message to the mobile device based on a transmission speed associated with the state of the cellular data-communication network at the mobile device, wherein the transmission is performed using a particular reliability mode of an optimized protocol for message transmission;
transmitting the message to the mobile device over the cellular data-communication network;
after transmitting the message, querying an operating system of the mobile device to determine that a subsequent state of the cellular data-communication network of the mobile device is different from the state of the cellular data-communication network;
configuring transmission of a subsequent message to the mobile device based on a transmission speed associated with the subsequent state of the cellular data-communication network at the mobile device, wherein the transmission of the subsequent message is performed using a second reliability mode of the optimized protocol for message transmission that is different from the particular reliability mode;
and
transmitting the subsequent message to the mobile device.
