Object caching for mobile data communication with mobility management

摘要

Method and system are provided for object caching with mobility management for mobile data communication. The method may include: intercepting and snooping data communications at a base station between a user equipment and a content server 501 without terminating communications; implementing object caching at the base station using snooped data communications 502; implementing object caching at an object cache server in the network 503, wherein the object cache server proxies communications to the content server from the user equipment; and maintaining synchrony between an object cache at the base station and an object cache at the object cache server 504. An object cache may be maintained at each base station in the mobile network which is consistent with an object cache at the object cache server. The object cache at each base station may be of fixed size, with the object cache at the object cache server of a size equal to the sum of all the base station object caches, and the object cache at the object cache server may be partitioned so that the object cache server can separately manage the objects cached for each base station. The communication may be HTTP requests and responses.
