Abstract
A communication method for a wireless transmission network having a plurality of terminals and a central server, disclosed in the context of an E-mail system. The source terminal sends only a mail header identifying the message source, the destination and other attribute information to the server. The destination terminal receives the digital data directly from the source terminal when desired after first downloading the mail header from the server. Thus, a data recipient can reduce unnecessary communication cost and storage resources in the server and in the system, can be saved.
