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
Øsometimes, degree of compression depends on available
bandwidth
Øuser mobility often not addressed/supported
nOther solutions:
Øview mobile purely as User Interface (WWW browsers, Teleporting, ....)
Øpartition client application between mobile and
proxy
§partition
directed by application (Rover, MaROS, ....)
§partition
transparent to application (our own focus)
