Abstract

System and methods for pre-fetching data are provided. In one embodiment, an electronic device includes communications circuitry communicatively coupled to a data provider system over a network to obtain streaming data for completion of tasks. The electronic device also includes pre-fetch circuitry that identifies a dead zone in the network; calculates a pre-fetch data size amount based at least in part upon a size of the dead zone; and requests the pre-fetch data size amount of the data, to mitigate lost streaming ability in the dead zone.
