ABSTRACT
The processing power of mobile terminals is greatly limited
due to wireless links that disconnect under certain conditions
of service interuption. This article introduces a mobile termi-
nal support technology called “Twin Agents” that aims to
solve this problem. In Twin Agents architecture, a proxy node
representing the mobile terminal is placed on the network
side to enable distributed processing and disconnected oper-
ations to be performed as needed.
Introduction
Mobile terminals are evolving rapidly in performance,
capacity, and functions while broadband wireless access,
reduced fees, and fixed-rate services continue to expand.
Unimaginable applications and content in the past are now
appearing one after another, and their enhancements and expan-
sions are expected in the years to come. In short, mobile termi-
nals are becoming capable of diverse applications, and under
continuous-connection conditions, they should be able to not
only receive services as a client but also to provide various
types of services. We can foresee a mobile terminal used as an
information-providing server in response to an external request
and a group of mobile terminals connected in a Peer to Peer
(P2P) mutually equal type, which should lead to new service
formats.
