Abstract

Mobile phones and tablets can be considered as the first in-carnation of the post-PC era. Their explosive adoption rates lead to the emergence of a variety of Applications. Most attractive feature of these applications is that they are available for a variety of OS. Many of these applications, for example VoIP clients, stay active in the background. In the background, they may not communicate large amounts of data. However, their regular bursts of activity can lead to large signaling overheads, wastage of radio resources, and draining of a phone's battery. Signaling overheads can lead to service outage by overloading the radio network controller of the 3G network. Thus in addition to aiding user, these convenience applications can pose several threats to the user handset and the Network. In this Work, We study the various Problems that persist affecting the user handset and Network and the solutions that exist for dealing with these problems. We attempt to classify the Problem and Solutions into various categories and list all the available solutions that exist for a given problem.
