Abstract

One example embodiment of the present invention discloses a method of delivering content from a base station of a wireless network to a mobile station including receiving a request for content from a mobile station, accessing the requested content from content stored in association with the base station, and transmitting the requested content to the mobile station.

Claims (41)

1. A method of delivering content from a base station of a wireless network to a mobile station, comprising:

receiving a request for content from a mobile station;

accessing the requested content from content stored in association with the base station;

inserting the requested content into Layer 3 of a first protocol stack;

transmitting the requested content to the mobile station;

adding a sequential number to a header of the first protocol stack indicating an amount of data in the first protocol stack after the inserting step;

receiving a second protocol stack including content stored in a core network;

adding the sequential number to a sequential number added by a radio network controller (RNC) on a header of the second protocol stack; and

transmitting the core network content to the mobile station, wherein the requested transmitted content is not accessed from the core network.

2. A method of delivering content from a base station of a wireless network to a mobile station, comprising:

receiving a request for content from a mobile station;

accessing the requested content from content stored in association with the base station;

inserting the access content in a first protocol stack, the accessed content being inserted into Layer 3 of the first protocol stack;

adding a sequential number to a header of the first protocol stack indicating an amount of data in the first protocol stack;

transmitting the first protocol stack to the mobile station;

receiving a second protocol stack including content stored in a core network;

adding the sequential number to a sequential number added by a radio network controller (RNC) on a header of the second protocol stack; and

transmitting the core network content to the mobile station.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving information from the core network that the content is stored in an IP address; and

assigning the IP address to a local content server.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

passing a location point of the transmission of the requested content to a target base station during a handoff.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

storing the content in at least one of a base station transceiver (BTS) and a satellite receiver.

6. A base station in a wireless network for delivering content to a mobile station comprising:

a local storage server configured to store content;

a mobile relay (MR) configured to access stored content, inserting the accessed content in a first protocol stack, the accessed content being inserted into Layer 3 of the first protocol stack ,and transmit the accessed content to the mobile station in response to a request for content, the MR configured to add a sequential number to a header of the first protocol stack indicating an amount of data in the first protocol stack; and

a mobile emulator (ME) configured to receive a second protocol stack including a content stored in a core network, add the sequential number to a sequential number added by a radio network controller (RNC) on a header of the second protocol stack, and transmit the core network content to the mobile station, wherein the local storage server is not provided in a core network.

7. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the content is stored in at least one of a base station transceiver (BTS) and a satellite receiver.

8. A base station in a wireless network for delivering content to a mobile station comprising:

a local storage server configured to store content;

a mobile relay (MR) configured to insert stored content on Layer 3 of a first protocol stack, add a sequential number to a header of the first protocol stack indicating an amount of data in the first protocol stack, and transmit the first protocol to the mobile station in response to a request for content; and

a mobile emulator (ME) configured to receive a second protocol stack including a content stored in a core network, add the sequential number to a sequential number added by a radio network controller (RNC) on a header of the second protocol stack, and transmit the core network content to the mobile station.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the mobile relay is configured to terminate the first protocol stack at Layer 3.

10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the content is stored in at least one of a base station transceiver (BTS) and a satellite receiver.

11. A base station in a wireless network for delivering content to a mobile station comprising:

a local storage server configured to store content;

a mobile relay (MR) configured to insert stored content on a first protocol stack, add a sequential number to a header of the first protocol stack indicating an amount of data in the first protocol stack, and transmit the first protocol to the mobile station in response to a request for content;

a mobile emulator (ME) configured to receive a second protocol stack including a content stored in a core network; and

a router configured to route at least one of the content to the MR, the first protocol stack from the MR to the ME, and the second protocol stack from the ME to the MR.
