Abstract
A wireless communication device comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to receive data via a communication network and to receive a data restriction message that instructs the wireless communication device to limit a rate at which the data is provided to a user. The processing system is configured to determine individual amounts of the data associated with a plurality of applications of the wireless communication device, identify an application of the plurality of applications associated with an individual amount of the data that meets a criterion, and limit a delivery rate at which application data associated with the application is provided to the user based on the data restriction message.
