Zusammenfassung:The present invention is a system for maintaining processing continuity between a mobile processing unit (26) and remotely resident applications (68). The system includes a network backbone (12), at least one stationary processor coupled to the backbone (12), and at least one transceiver (16) coupled to the backbone. The transceivers (16) are configured to communicate with the mobile unit (26) through a wireless medium. Mobile units intermittently communicate with applications The present invention employs a process that is dedicated to handling all communications between its associated mobile unit and applications. This process is responsible for the scheduling of communications sessions with the mobile unit.
