Bandwidth Issues White Papers
Optimized Wireless Web Browsing Using Mobile Agents
Overview The use of wireless data communications is increasing rapidly despite limited bandwidth and reliability. Algorithms have been developed to optimize the available bandwidth (e.g. through compression) but the widespread adoption of wireless data communications has been slowed by the need to agree on optimization standards and to implement and deploy code to implement such standards. This paper proposes a framework that uses mobile agents to dynamically deploy application-specific, bandwidth optimization code. No agreement is required on the set of available optimizations only that base stations support a specific mobile agent execution environment. If a given base station does not support mobile agents, it can still be used but in an unoptimized fashion.
