Mobile agents for improving the Web access in the UMTS system
L. Perato, Khaldoun Al Agha · 2002
Current cellular systems already suffer from signaling that uses the air interface resource. For example, in GSM systems, half of the available resources is dedicated for common and dedicated signaling. For future generations, systems should propose more services with QoS requirements. This must increase the quantity of control information on the radio interface. We use a mobile agents based framework that was proposed in a previous work for POP3 application and we introduce an optimization of the HTTP protocol for the air interface. The radio signaling and the adaptive degradation are also studied.
