    Abstract: An electronic device connects to another electronic device using a communication link, such as a Wi-Fi link as provided by a Wi-Fi access point. The electronic device includes a transport monitoring module that monitors outgoing communications (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets) from the electronic device. When the other electronic device disconnects from the Wi-Fi access point, the transport monitoring module determines that a transport anomaly has occurred. In response to determining that the transport anomaly has occurred, a probe module of the electronic device sends a probe (e.g., an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) dead peer detection probe) to determine whether the other electronic device is reachable.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform methods for mitigating HTTP transaction errors for a data connection. The wireless device may establish a data connection over a first network interface of the wireless device at an HTTP layer of the wireless device. A transport connection may support the data connections and may support multiple HTTP transactions. An advisory signal may be received at the HTTP layer and, responsive to the advisory signal including first information, the HTTP layer may determine that at least a portion of the HTTP transactions can be (safely) retried. The HTTP layer may terminate, without notifying the application layer, the portion of HTTP transactions and may initiate, via a second transport connection established over a second network interface, retries of the first portion of HTTP transactions.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for estimating data traffic characteristics for applications to condition data communication channels that support data packet transfer for the applications in wireless communication devices are disclosed. Data connections to support different applications and/or daemon software processes can be established and subsequently adjusted based on data traffic characteristics for data that the different applications/daemons generate and/or consume. Traffic flows for the applications/daemons are classified into traffic classes based on likely data traffic patterns. When data sources are added or deleted, changes to a traffic class state can be determined, and wireless circuitry adjusted based at least in part on the traffic class state and a traffic class policy. Adjusting parameters that affect the periodicity and/or length of active time periods and sleep periods in accordance with estimated data traffic patterns for applications/daemons that use the data connections can reduce power consumption by the wireless circuitry.
