Disclosed is a method of controlling access to mobile radio connection(s) in a vehicle, having a policy and charging enforcement function with deep packet inspection capabilities 'vePCEF' and optionally a policy and control rules function 'vePCRF' in the vehicle. Furthermore, a Man In The Middle (MITM) methodology can be employed within the vehicle PCC architecture to enhance the enforcement of the PCRF/vePCRF policies. Also disclosed is a vehicle containing a PCC architecture having a MITM functionality. Also disclosed is a method of controlling access to mobile radio connection(s) in a vehicle, having a policy and charging enforcement function with deep packet inspection capabilities &#x201c;vePCEF&#x201d; which interfaces to a mobile core network PCRF or a cloud based PCRF.

System and method for implementation of PCRF and PCEF functions in a vehicle

Methods and apparatus are provided for a virtual content channel structure in a broadband wireless network with location-based content. Broadband content is delivered to a mobile terminal in a wireless network by receiving a request for a content channel from the mobile terminal; and translating the requested content channel to a corresponding content item based on the requested content channel and a date and time associated with the request (and optionally, a location of the request), wherein a content source associated with the corresponding content item is transmitted to the mobile terminal using a communication channel associated with the user. The content source comprises, for example, the corresponding content item or an address or a link associated with the corresponding content item. The corresponding content item can include content components that are based on a location of the mobile terminal.

Methods and apparatus are provided for delivering content to a mobile terminal in a wireless network. A base station in a wireless network delivers content to a mobile terminal by determining if a packet from the mobile terminal contains a request for content; and delivering the content to the mobile terminal from the base station if the content is stored locally at the base station. The base station can optionally evaluate an authorization of the mobile terminal to receive the content. During a hand-off, the current base station determines if a packet received from the mobile terminal contains a base station change message indicating that the mobile terminal is switching to a new base station; and provides content status information (such as content position) to the new base station.

Methods and apparatus for distributed multimedia content supporting user mobility

The invention includes a method and apparatus for notification and delivery of messages to mobile users using a secure client associated with a user device. The secure client includes a power module, a communication module, a storage module, and an alert module. The power module powers the client device independent of a power state of the user device. The communication module receives a wake-up message and responsively triggers the secure client to switch from an inactive state to an active state without changing the power state of the user device, initiates a secure connection with a secure gateway in response to the wake-up message, and requests and receives a user message from a messaging application using the secure connection. The storage module stores the received message independent of the power state of the user device. The alert module activates an alert to indicate that the message is available.
