Wireless networks require longer transmission time and high radio energy usage on mobile devices in
comparison to wired networks, as in the process of downloading a web page there are various computations such as HTML
parsing, image decoding, page layout etc. My solution is an implementation of proxy based technique in network to reduce
energy and latency in mobile devices. In this approach functionality is split between proxy based network and mobile deice.
Database of resource list is refreshed periodically by residing proxy on the wired network, so that total number of bits
transmitted can be reduced to transfer information between mobile device and network. Results show that this technique
reduce around 50% page load time and 65% consumption of radio energy in comparison to traditional cellular web
browsers.
