Abstract

As different from wired internet, wireless internet has limitations due to the following characteristics; low bandwidth, frequent disconnection, low computing power, small screen in user terminal, and user mobility. Also, wireless internet server should be scalable to handle a large scale traffic due to rapidly growing users. Wireless proxy servers are used for the wireless internet because their caching and transcoding functions are helpful to overcome the above limitation. TranSend was proposed as a clustering based wireless proxy server but its scalability is difficult to achieve because there is no systematic way to do it. In this Paper. we proposed a clustering based wireless internet proxy server which can be scalable in a systematic way. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 32.17% performance improvement of the proposed system compared to TranSend system.

기존 유선 인터넷과 달리 무선 인터넷은 낮은 대역폭, 빈번하게 접속이 끊기는 현상, 단말기내의 낮은 컴퓨팅 파워 및 작은 화면, 사용자의 이동성 등의 특성에 따른 많은 제약점들을 갖고 있다. 또한 무선 인터넷 서버는 급증하는 사용자에 따른 대용량 트래픽을 처리할 수 있도록 확장성이 있어야 한다. 이에 위의 문제를 캐싱(Caching)과 압축(Transcoding, Distillation)으로 해결하는 방법으로 무선 프록시서버를 사용한다. TranSend는 클러스터링 기반의 무선 프록시 서버로 제안된 것이나 시스템적인(Systematic) 방법으로 확장성을 보장하지 못하는 단점을 가진다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시스템적인 방법으로 확장성을 보장하는 클러스터링 기반의 무선 인터넷 프록시 서버를 제안한다. 16대의 컴퓨터를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였고 실험 결과 TranSend 시스템에 비해 32.17%의 성능 향상을 보였다.
