This invention provides a system and method for splitting control and media content signals of a cellular network connection of a mobile station. A mobile station engages in a WAP browsing session with a cellular network connection over an air interface. As a user moves into coverage area of an access point, another browsing session is established between the mobile station and a non-cellular network connection. More specifically, the user's WAP browsing session with a cellular network connection is upgraded to a Web browsing session with a non-cellular network connection. The present invention permits a user to control a Web browser on a remote device by providing user input to the mobile station. In particular, a media content portion of the cellular network connection is split and rerouted to the remote device, and a control portion of the cellular network connection is split and rerouted either via the non-cellular network connection or via the cellular network connection.

A pixel map signal is converted into a coefficient signal of block coefficient signals, each representing the pixels in a pixel map block (420) with the coefficients in a hybrid polynomial. The hybrid polynomial contains discrete cosine terms, a constant term separated from the discrete cosine terms, and polynomial terms.

A pixel map signal is separated into block signals, each representing pixels in a pixel map block (420) in a pixel map (410). The blocks signals each contain an overlap component having pixel values representing pixels contained both by the corresponding pixel map block (420) and an adjacent block. The pixel map signal is compressed by converting the block signals into a coefficient signal of block coefficient signals, each of which represents a pixel map block (420) with the coefficients in a hybrid polynomial. When the pixel map signal is decompressed, the pixel values in the overlap component for each pixel map block (420) are averaged with the pixel values in the overlap component for the adjacent block and replaced by the averaged pixel values in the corresponding pixel map block (420) and the adjacent pixel map block (420).
