1. A method of reducing network traffic comprising:
- blocking a first channel to reduce network signaling and battery consumption, wherein the first channel includes a non-common channel;
offloading application traffic of an application onto a second channel, wherein the second channel includes a common channel;
monitoring the application traffic of the application over the second channel;
unblocking the first channel based on the monitored application traffic so that the application can perform an action; and
re-blocking the first channel after the action has been completed.

7. Non-transitory computer readable media containing computer code to implement a processor controlled system for reducing network traffic, comprising:
-
blocking a first channel such that network signaling and battery consumption are reduced, wherein the first channel includes a non-common channel; offloading application traffic of an application onto a second channel, wherein the second channel includes a common channel; monitoring the application traffic of the application over the second channel; unblocking the first channel based on the monitored application application traffic over the second channel so that the application can perform an action; and re-blocking the first channel after the action has been completed. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A communication network, comprising:
-
a mobile device having a processor, memory storing an operating system and a push client application, and a user interface, wherein said mobile device operates in accord with the operating system and in accord with a push client application; a first server having a first channel; a second server having a second channel that overlaps the first channel; a host server; a first network operatively connecting said first server and said second server to said host server; a second network operatively connecting said first network to said mobile device; wherein the push client application controls the processor to; block the first channel to reduce network signaling and battery consumption, wherein the first channel includes a non-common channel; offload application traffic of an application onto a second channel, wherein the second channel includes a common channel; monitor the application traffic on the second channel; unblock the first channel based on the monitored application traffic on the second channel so that the application can perform an action; and re-block the first channel after the action has been completed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
