Abstract

3G mobile communication networks such as UMTS provide wide area Web access. However, Web latency is usually beyond users´ tolerable waiting time even in wired networks. In UMTS networks, mainly due to large RTTs and limitations of existing HTTP, Web latency increases dramatically. In this paper, we introduce a Web acceleration scheme, proxy-based object packaging and compression (POPC), for reducing Web latency in UMTS networks. POPC, implemented based on proxy, combines both WAN optimization and application acceleration techniques. Simulation results show that packaging can reduce latency by 50% and compression by 20% more.
