Techniques for timing optimization in wireless networks that utilize a universal services interface

A method, comprising:

• communicating with an application service provider (ASP) in a wireless network by a mobile station (MS) via a universal services interface (USI) proxy positioned in the line of a data path from said MS to said ASP, wherein the USI proxy is configured to perform stateful content inspection of all packets passing through said USI proxy;
• sending a USI context request from the USI proxy to the USI server for USI context for said MS;
• receiving a USI context response from the USI server at the USI proxy which contains said USI context for said MS;
• intercepting an ASP request message from the MS to the ASP at the USI proxy;
• and
• appending said USI context to said ASP request message when said USI proxy intercepts the ASP request message if the USI context is not already present in the ASP request message.

A non-transitory machine-accessible medium that provides instructions, which when accessed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

• communicating with an application service provider (ASP) in a wireless network by a mobile station (MS) via a universal services interface (USI) proxy positioned in the line of a data path from said MS to said ASP, wherein the USI proxy is configured to perform stateful content inspection of all packets passing through said USI proxy;
• sending a USI context request from the USI proxy to a USI server for USI context for said MS;
• receiving a USI context response from the USI server at the USI proxy which contains said USI context for said MS;
• and
• intercepting an ASP request message from the MS to the ASP at the USI proxy;
• and
• appending universal services interface (USI) context to said ASP request message when said USI proxy intercepts the ASP request message if the USI context is not already present in the ASP request message.
