Researchers
at Princeton University have developed a novel method to improve access speed
and service efficiency of mobile Internet users. Princeton is currently seeking
industrial collaborators to commercialize this technology.
Wireless
Internet services are one of the most rapidly expanding segments in the
information technology industry. The push/pull proxy gateway, which interfaces
between the mobile user and the server, is the most important device between the
wired and wireless networks. The technology of push/pull proxy gateway is
currently based on cache systems, which can not achieve high performance in that
the hit probability is only 50%. This new system utilizes a new prefetching
technology and a new mobility estimation/prediction technology to reduce the
access latency and increase the hit probability for providing push/pull wireless
Internet services to mobile users.
Patent
protection is pending.
