Related Work
nTypically, related work focuses on bandwidth
variation
nOther resources are also constrained (memory, power, CPU capabilities) and may vary over time
nMajority of solutions: introduce proxy between client (application executing on mobile device) and server,
proxy compresses and filters data
stream
–sometimes,
degree of compression depends on available bandwidth
–user
mobility often not addressed/supported
nOther solutions:
–view mobile
purely as User Interface (WWW browsers, Teleporting,
....)
–partition
client application between mobile and proxy
npartition directed by application (Rover, MaROS,
....)
npartition transparent to application (our own focus)
