Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for avoiding unnecessary traffic in wireless communications networks. An Internet gateway maintains an unnecessary traffic avoidance table and to determine whether a mobile device is disconnected from the network. The Internet gateway discards requested data packets requested by the mobile devices if the mobile device is not currently connected to the network, thereby avoiding unnecessary traffic in the network.
