In a method for adapting a firmware configured to control a wireless communication device, a first firmware is stored in a first storage area, and at least one delta encoding package is stored in at least one second storage area. A rule manager is configured to provide identification information indicating at least one delta encoding package. Bootstrap software is configured to, upon startup, retrieve the first firmware from the first storage area, retrieve from the rule manager identification information indicating at least one delta encoding package retrieve the indicated at least one delta encoding package from the second storage area, combine said first firmware and the at least one delta encoding package to a second firmware by way of a differential upgrade, and start the second firmware.

Method for adapting firmware of a wireless communication device

A radio device, comprising an application scheduling unit configured to initiate a transmission of application output data in communication with a radio access network in accordance with a predetermined application transmission schedule determining at least one allowed time, which is a time span or a point in time, for the communication of the application output data. The allowed time depends on a parameter value of a set of at least one parameter that is allocated to the radio device and that is suitable for distinguishing the radio device from at least one other radio device of a group of radio devices to which the radio device belongs. A communication unit is configured to transmit the application output data in communication with the radio access network in the form of radio signals and at a time that is in accordance with the predetermined transmission schedule.

Distributed initialization of M2M access to radio access network

An application device exchanges application data via a cellular radio communication network with an application server. The application device has a memory providing write access for a control entity associated with the network. The application device receives an information element from a network management node operated by the control entity. The information element is indicative of regulation information that defines at least one time span or point in time that can be used for transmission of application exchange data between the application device and the application server. The application device receives an instruction from the network management node to store the regulation information in the device memory, and stores the regulation information. The application device subsequently initiates transmission of the application exchange data between the application device and the application server only at an allowed time that is in accordance with the stored regulation information.
