A method of determining, at a mobile device, side information including compression state information. The method includes receiving, from a server, a unique side information identifier identifying a unit of side information used by the server for compressing data, determining, based on the side information identifier, if the unit of side information is resident on said device, and if the unit of side information is resident on the mobile device, loading the side information for decompressing the data. Otherwise, if the unit of side information is not resident on the mobile device, the method includes requesting the unit of side information from one of the server and another device. |
