Abstract
Software is provided in a radio-based cellular communication networks by a subscriber station, which is checked into a cell and which contains software that can be provided. The subscriber station notifies a storage device of the cell that the software is available in the cell. The storage device then sends a message concerning the availability of the software to all of the subscriber stations checked into the cell. Another subscriber station, which is checked into the cell, can request the software by sending a message with a limited transmitting power so that the message can only be received by subscriber stations located at a distance from the requesting subscriber station that is small compared to the diameter of the cell. When the subscriber station storing the software has received the message sent by the requesting subscriber station, the software is immediately transmitted from that subscriber station to the requesting subscriber station.
