Efficient Access Using Hierarchical WML Decks for Multimedia Services under Wireless and Mobile Networks

In this paper, we introduce the design and implementation of a new efficient HTML filter that can optimize the amount of data transmitted in a wireless environment. This can be accomplished by creating hierarchical WML Decks from existing HTML pages and by performing the Web access on demand on a per-WML-Deck basis. The intelligent and automatic creation of structured WML decks also allows the efficient display of wired Internet contents on a mobile device with limited resources such as small display and limited memory. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HTML filter by showing the translation results on several commercial Web sites. We also analyze and evaluate the performance of the proposed HTML filter by comparing its results to those of the baseline HTML filter that generates WML Decks
