Abstract

See full text

A system is disclosed for maintaining processing continuity in a network having a network accessible application and an intermittently connected wireless mobile unit. A transceiver is connected to the network for wireless communication with the mobile unit, and a gateway connected to the network is used to control the transceiver. A stationary processor is connected to the gateway and configured to support access to the network accessible application, which can run either on the stationary processor itself or on a remote processor. Use of network accessible applications from the mobile unit is mediated by an agent dedicated to communication and processing control of the mobile unit. The agent runs on the stationary processor and is connected to the gateway for handling communications between the mobile unit and the network accessible application. To ensure processing continuity, the agent is configured to hold data received from the network accessible application for transmission to the mobile unit only when the mobile unit is in wireless communication with the network.
