A method and system are provided for conserving network resources such as battery power of a battery-powered communication device used to support a conversation over a wireless network transport media. Periods of silence are detected during conversation taking place on a network having controllable resources such as battery power. Using the periods of silence so-detected, future silence periods occurring on the network are then predicted. Allocation of at least a portion of the controllable resources is controlled based on the future silence periods so-predicted.

A method limits power usage by a battery-powered communication device having high and low power states of operation. The device's WiFi driver running on a kernel level of the operating system includes a counter-based routine for placing the device in one of its low power state and high power state. A high or low priority level is established for applications maintained on the device. An identifier for each application and its priority level is stored within a module maintained at the operating system's kernel level. Network traffic passing through the kernel level is monitored to determine whether the network traffic is associated with one of the identified applications and whether the priority level associated therewith is high priority. The counter-based routine of the WiFi driver is accessed when the network traffic is associated with one of the applications and its priority level is high priority.

A system and method for implementing a software emulation environment is provided. In one example, a mobile application can interface with an emulation environment that can be used to test whether the mobile application includes malware that can compromise the security and integrity of an enterprise's computing infrastructure. When the mobile application issues a call for data, a device mimic module can intercept the call and determine if the call includes a call for one or more checkable artifacts that can reveal the existence of the emulation environment. If such a call for data occurs, the device mimic module can provide one or more spoofed checkable artifacts that have been recorded from a real-world mobile device. In this way, the existence of the emulation environment can be concealed so as to allow for a more thorough analysis of a mobile application for potential hidden malware.
