APPLICATION SESSION RESUMPTION IN MOBILE ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A session management system is provided for resumption of a previously interrupted session between an application client (21) and an application server (18) . The session management system includes: an application client (21) and a session control agent (22) residing on a mobile network device; and a session manager (24) residing on a router of a home network associated with the mobile network device (14) , such that messages to and from the mobile network device (14) pass through the router. The session manager (24) is able to intercept application information being exchanged between the application client (21) and the application server (18) and store a session state based upon the intercepted application information. The session control agent (22) can subsequently interface with the session manager (24) to restore the session state between the application client (21) and the application server (18) .
