Abstract

A system and method are provided for transmitting data that has not been explicitly requested in a mobile radio system which includes an application computer, a transmission network, and a mobile radio receiver. The mobile radio receiver indicates to the transmission network how much storage space is available in the mobile radio receiver for storing data.

Claims

1-24. -24. (canceled)

25. A system for transmitting data which has not been explicitly requested in a mobile radio system, comprising:

an application computer;

a transmission network in communication with the application computer; and

a mobile radio receiver in communication with the transmission network, the mobile radio receiver including storage areas for storing data, wherein the mobile radio receiver indicates information to the transmission network regarding how much storage space is available for storing data in the storage areas of the mobile radio receiver, and the mobile radio receiver may release certain of its storage areas for overwriting with data received via the transmission network.

26. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 25, wherein the mobile radio receiver indicates the information to the transmission network when no storage space is available for storing data in the storage areas of the mobile radio receiver.

27. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 25, wherein the transmission network includes a storage area for buffering data received from the application computer.

28. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 27, wherein the buffered data is transmitted to the mobile radio receiver depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

29. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 25, wherein the transmission network includes a network computer for initiating the transmission of data to the mobile radio receiver.

30. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 29, wherein the initiation is performed depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

31. A system for transmitting data which has not been explicitly requested in a mobile radio system, comprising:

an application computer;

a transmission network in communication with the application computer; and

a mobile radio receiver in communication with the transmission network, the mobile radio receiver indicating information to the transmission network relating to an order in which the data is to be transmitted to the mobile radio receiver.

32. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 31, wherein the information indicates to the transmission network a time when the data is to be transmitted to the mobile radio receiver.

33. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 31, wherein the transmission network includes a storage area for buffering data received from the application computer.

34. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 31, wherein the buffered data is transmitted to the mobile radio receiver depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

35. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 31, wherein the transmission network includes a network computer for initiating the transmission of data to the mobile radio receiver.

36. A system for transmitting data as claimed in claim 35, wherein the initiation is performed depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

37. A method for transmitting data which has not been explicitly requested in a mobile radio system, the method comprising the steps of:

providing an application computer;

providing a transmission networking in communication with the application computer;

providing a mobile radio receiver in communication with the transmission network, the mobile radio receiver including storage areas for storing data;

indicating information to the transmission network, from the mobile radio receiver, regarding how much storage space is available for storing data in the storage areas of the mobile radio receiver; and

enabling the mobile radio receiver to release certain of its storage areas for overwriting with data received via the transmission network.

38. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 37, the method further comprising the step of indicating information to the transmission network, from the mobile radio receiver, when no storage space is available for storing data in the storage areas of the mobile radio receiver.

39. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 37, the method further comprising the step of providing the transmission network with a storage area for buffering data received from the application computer.

40. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 39, the method further comprising the step of transmitting the buffered data to the mobile radio receiver depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

41. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 37, the method further comprising the step of providing the transmission network with a network computer for initiating the transmission of data to the mobile radio receiver.

42. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 41, the method further comprising the step of performing the initiation depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

43. A method for transmitting data which has not be explicitly requested in a mobile radio system, the method comprising the steps of:

providing an application computer;

providing a transmission network in communication with the application computer;

providing a mobile radio receiver in communication with the transmission network; and

indicating information to the transmission network, by the mobile radio receiver, relating to an order in which the data is to be transmitted to the mobile radio receiver.

44. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 43, wherein the information indicates to the transmission network a time when the data is to be transmitted to the mobile radio receiver.

45. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 43, the method further comprising the step of providing the transmission network with a storage area for buffering data received from the application computer.

46. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 44, the method further comprising the step of transmitting the buffered data to the mobile radio receiver depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.

47. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 43, the method further comprising the step of providing the transmission network with a network computer for initiating the transmission of data to the mobile radio receiver.

48. A method for transmitting data as claimed in claim 47, the method further comprising the step of performing the initiation depending on the information indicated by the mobile radio receiver.
