SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFECTIVE USE OF AIR LINK BETWEEN MOBILE STATIONS AND GATEWAY SERVERS

摘要

A method and system for minimizing data transmission between a mobile station and a gateway server. The method provides that a mobile station transmits to a gateway server a request for a content and/or a resource located on a web server using a first protocol. The gateway server then transmits the request to the web server using a second protocol that is compatible with that used by the web server. The gateway server receives a redirection message from the web server indicating a new location of the content and/or resource. In response to the redirection message, the gateway server creates and transmits another request for the content and/or resource at the new location. After receiving the requested content and/or resource from the web server or another web server, the gateway server transmits the requested content and/or resource to the mobile station using the first protocol.
