Abstract
A method of compensating for potential interruptions in a wireless connection () over which data is transmitted from a host device () to a client device () involves determining an expectation of an interruption to the wireless connection (), setting a second compression level for compressing the data when an interruption is due, the second compression level being set at a higher level than a first compression level normally used for the data, compressing the data at the second compression level, and forwarding the data compressed at the second compression level to a transmitting component () for transmittal to the client device (). The expectation of a potential interruption may be determined by analysing a historical record of previous interruptions to determine a periodicity of the previous interruptions and using the determined periodicity to calculate when a next potential interruption may be expected, or by determining that a buffer used for storing the data prior to transmittal is full, indicative that an interruption has commenced, or by receipt of information from the transmitting component that a potential interruption is expected to occur or has commenced.
