Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting data between a content server and a terminal belonging to a discontinuous coverage network, said terminal moving from a first radio coverage area to a second radio coverage area over an area comprising no radio coverage, said method including: terminating one or more protocols used by said content server for the data transmission with the terminal within a proxy, wherein said proxy is seen as the entry point of the discontinuous coverage network by said content server; using a caching mechanism provided within said discontinuous coverage network for forwarding data from said proxy to said terminal via a radio access point of the radio coverage area the terminal is expected to visit in the future; partitioning data which is to be forwarded from said proxy to said terminal into cache units; storing said cache units within an access controller and/or a radio access point of said discontinuous coverage network, wherein said cache units are stored when the terminal moves over the area comprising no radio coverage.
