Abstract
Systems and methods of dynamic categorization of applications for network use and access in a mobile network are disclosed. Using application profile information, applications can be categorized into one of multiple categories that define restrictions on the application's access to the wireless network or cellular network. One example of such categories is the concept of black, white and grey listings. The “white” listed applications may be always allowed access, “black” listed application may never or almost never be granted network access (e.g., application may be malware like or otherwise consumes large amounts of network/device resources), and grey listed applications may be granted access based on one or more criteria.
