Abstract: Apparatus and methods for estimating data traffic characteristics for applications to condition data communication channels that support data packet transfer for the applications in wireless communication devices are disclosed. Data connections to support different applications and/or daemon software processes can be established and subsequently adjusted based on data traffic characteristics for data that the different applications/daemons generate and/or consume. Traffic flows for the applications/daemons are classified into traffic classes based on likely data traffic patterns. When data sources are added or deleted, changes to a traffic class state can be determined, and wireless circuitry adjusted based at least in part on the traffic class state and a traffic class policy. Adjusting parameters that affect the periodicity and/or length of active time periods and sleep periods in accordance with estimated data traffic patterns for applications/daemons that use the data connections can reduce power consumption by the wireless circuitry.
