Paper Title: WebSocket Proxy System for Mobile Devices

This research focuses on accelerating web resource transfers over networks with high latency and packet loss. The approach was recognized for enabling high-speed transfers by using a proxy with WebSocket, which is less susceptible to latency, thereby addressing the issue of reduced transfer speeds caused by HTTP's concurrent connection limits and TCP ACKs.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Professor Muto and Professor Isshiki for their guidance in advancing this research, as well as everyone involved who supported this work. I will use this award as encouragement to continue dedicating myself to my research, and I hope for your continued support.
