EFFICIENT CONTENT DELIVERY OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS USING GUARANTEED PREFETCHING AT SELECTED TIMES-OF-DAY

摘要

A method for content delivery includes defining a guaranteed prefetching mode, in which content is continuously prefetched from a content source to a communication terminal of a user so as to maintain the communication terminal synchronized with the content source. One or more time-of-day intervals, during which the user is expected to access given content, are identified. During the identified time-of-day intervals, the given content is prefetched from the content source to the communication terminal using the guaranteed prefetching mode.
