Abstract
Method for providing a transmission link includes providing a proxy equipment including cache or buffer, establishing a streaming connection or session between the proxy equipment and the mobile terminal, upon request of a service from the terminal requesting streaming data, receiving and storing at the equipment the requested streaming data from a server intended for the mobile terminal and forwarding the received and stored streaming data from the proxy equipment to the mobile terminal if the mobile terminal is detected to be under the coverage of and/or connected to the discontinuous coverage network, where when the request for the service by the mobile terminal is received by the proxy equipment, the proxy equipment establishes a continuous data and signaling transmission link with the server to receive the requested streaming data, and a discontinuous data transmission link with the mobile terminal to forward the received streaming data to the mobile terminal.
