Abstract:
A method of improving a throughput of a wireless gateway interface comprising the steps of:(a) receiving a request for content from a mobile client; (b) determining whether the requested content has been validated against document type definition (DTD), where the DTD defines rules for markup language syntax; (c) if the content has been validated against the DTD, setting a predetermined header to â€œvalidatedâ€  and forwarding the requested content to the wireless gateway; (d) if the content has not been validated against the DTD, either setting a predetermined header to â€œnot validatedâ€  or not setting any validation header, and forwarding the requested content to the wireless gateway; (e) determining in the wireless gateway whether the forwarded requested content includes the predetermined header that has been set to â€œvalidated;â€ (f) if the content includes the predetermined header that has been set to â€œvalidated,â€  forwarding the requested content to the mobile client from the wireless gateway; and (g) if the content does not include a header that has been set to â€œvalidated,â€  validating the content against the DTD and then forwarding the content to the mobile client from the wireless gateway.
