Abstract
Systems and methods of optimizing communications for a mobile device are provided. The method includes determining a maximum allowable retransmission timeout interval allowed by the mobile device. The method also includes determining that a first communication session used by the mobile device to transmit data has a retransmission timeout interval that exceeds the maximum allowable retransmission timeout interval. The method further includes, in response to determining that the first communication session is using a retransmission timeout interval that exceeds the maximum allowable retransmission timeout interval, terminating the first communication session, and initiating a second communication session.
