Abstract
Mobile terminal (302) provides information resources to other mobile terminals (310), Internet (306), and Internet browser (308). WAP push mechanisms including Session Initiation Request (SIR) and Service Loading (SL) are implemented through Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) gateway/HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy 304to facilitate HTTP information transfer between mobile server (302) and the other network terminals (310 and 308).
