Systems and methods for application management of mobile device radio state promotion and demotion

A mobile device which promotes or demotes a radio state based on an application accessed or installed thereon, the mobile device comprising:

• a radio;
• a processor;
• a memory unit having instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor, causes the radio to transition between a lower powered state and a higher powered state based on at least:
• a determination of whether the application transmits background or foreground data over a wireless network.

A mobile device which promotes or demotes a radio state based on an application accessed or installed thereon, the mobile device comprising:

• a radio;
• a processor;
• a local proxy on the mobile device, the local proxy configured to:
• monitor the application;
• monitor the mobile device to determine whether criteria to transition radio states on the mobile device is met;
• and
• determine whether to perform a radio channel status transition from a first state to a second state based at least in part upon the criteria and the at least one application.

A system to manage radio state change of a mobile device, comprising:

• a proxy server configured to:
• monitor the application;
• monitor the mobile device to determine whether criteria to transition radio states on the mobile device is met;
• and
• determine whether to cause a radio channel status transition from a first state to a second state on the mobile device based at least in part upon the criteria and the at least one application.
