Abstract

The connection establishment phase including DNS lookups and TCP handshakes takes significantly long time during web browsing through mobile network. In this paper, we propose a novel web browser architecture that aims at improving mobile web browsing performance. Our approach delegates the connection establishment phase and HTTP header field delivery to a dedicated proxy server located at the joint point between WAN and mobile network to reduce both the number and size of packets on mobile network. Our evaluation showed that the proposed scheme reduces the number of mobile network packets by up to 52% and, consequently, shortens the average page loading time by up to 37%.
