1. A method of allocating signaling in a mobile network, the method comprising: accessing a radio log associated with a mobile device operating in the mobile network, the radio log indicating states of a mobile device radio; accessing a traffic activity log associated with the mobile device, the traffic activity log indicating various traffic metrics measured at multiple measurement points in the mobile device; modeling an optimization technique that includes filtering, based on the states of the mobile device radio accessed from the radio log and the various traffic metrics accessed from the traffic activity log, to determine whether transactions initiated by mobile applications executing on the mobile device in the mobile network cause network signaling requiring a corresponding radio connection to be established; and filtering, by a traffic optimization engine, the network signaling such that at least a first portion of the network signaling is filtered and at least a second portion of the network signaling is unfiltered, wherein the filtered network signaling does not cause a corresponding radio connection and the unfiltered network signaling does cause corresponding radio connection on the mobile device; wherein filtering the network signaling includes reducing a number of requests that are satisfied over the mobile network by: accumulating low priority data and sending the low priority data in batches, compressing and/or transcoding the network signaling, and reducing a number of times and/or amount of time that the mobile device radio is powered on.
