Proxy Server Systems for Wireless Mobile Web Service 劉仁筑 2001.11.29
Outline • Introduction • Related Works • Problem Statement • Wireless Proxy Server Deployment • Single • Distributed • Discussion and Ideals
Introduction • The characteristics of wireless networks • Unfixed and lower bandwidth • Higher transmission error rate • Different MH hardware type • How to provide proper services and qualities for each mobile user is important.
Related works • J. F. Bartlett, “W4 – the Wireless World Wide Web,” Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications, Dec. 1994, pp. 176-178. • Designed for PDA-based wireless browser. • Maintained a proxy to parse a HTML documents into multiple screens. • The proxy sends the preformatted screens to client using a new protocol.
Related works • S. Gessler and A. Kotulla, “PDAs as Mobile WWW Browsers,” Electronic Proc. Second World Wide Web Conference ’94: Mosaic and the Web, Oct.1994. • The HTML documents was parsed by client. • The client communicates with the proxy also using a new protocol. • Images won’t be transferred until the client request them.
Related works • T. B. Fleming, S. F. Midkiff, and N.J. Davis, ” Improving the Performance of the World Wide Web over Wireless Networks,” GLOBECOM ’97. • Designed a new protocol, named “ MHSP”, to replace the HTTP used between AP and MH. • Prefetching • Image reduction
Related works • Common points • Maintaining a dedicated machine to be a wireless proxy • Most of them did not support mobility very well • Single proxy v.s Distributed proxy
Problem Statement • Single proxy architecture • The proxy may become a bottleneck • Distributed proxy architecture • The handoff between proxy servers • Cached data • Distilled data • Client’s information • …
Distilled data ? Distributed Proxy Server System Handoff
Proxy Server Architecture Information Networking, 2001. Proceedings. 15th International Conference on , 2001 Figure.2, Page: 750
Message Format • Handoff request message • Distilled data request message • Distilled data message
Discussion • Proxy deployment area • Too large: degrading to single proxy scenario • The capability of MH should be more simple or complicated? • How to satisfy all type of service? • Not only WWW…
