Homogenous Web Communication Platform in Non-homogenous Network Environment for Emerging Countries

In recent years, there has been a more distinct gap in network bandwidths between developed countries and developing countries. In a "non-homogeneous network environment", which is a mixture of narrowband and broadband networks, the amount of time to obtain a Web file differs from one place to another. As a result, people in developing countries have difficulties downloading certain Web files, which prevents them from communicating fully with people in other faraway places. In this paper, we propose a platform for Web communication (e.g. social networking) in a non-homogeneous network environment in order to reduce the time to obtain Web files and reduce the usage of Internet connection bandwidths for users in developing countries. This paper describes the system structure of the proposed platform and presents the simulation results to verify its effectiveness.
