Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention, file transfers are performed in a wireless communication network between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a location external to the WTRU for purposes of utilizing the data under predetermined conditions. In another embodiment, file transfer is performed by determining conditions for file transfer using the WTRU. The file transfer takes place subject to the determined conditions, and using the WTRU to automatically request the file transfer in response to the existence of the determined conditions.

15. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) capable of transferring data comprising:
-
a program function capable of storing and retrieving data in a memory of the WTRU and implementing program functions using said data stored in the memory of the WTRU;
a program function capable of storing and retrieving data in a further memory external to the WTRU; and
a connection capable of transferring data between the WTRU and the further memory, wherein the data transferred between the WTRU and the further memory represents data stored in the memory of the WTRU, permitting the WTRU to implement the program functions using the data stored in the memory of the WTRU by transferring the data between the further memory external to the WTRU and the memory of the WTRU. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. In a wireless subscriber network, a method for data management for data stored by wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) capable of processing and transferring data, the method comprising:
-
providing a operational data store for data associated with the WTRU, in communication with a processor in the used for said processing of data;
providing a data store for further data associated with the WTRU, external to said data store in communication with the processor, wherein the data store in communication with the processor includes at least a portion of the data in the data store for further data;
providing a communication link including a data connection between the WTRU and the data store for further data;
performing a program function which includes manipulating data in the operational data store for data associated with the WTRU; and
storing and retrieving data in the data store for further data to replicate data in the operational data store for data associated with the WTRU and to retrieve said replicated data, wherein the data connection provides a capability of transferring data between the WTRU and the data store for further data, wherein the data transferred between the WTRU and the data store for further data represents data stored in the operational data store for data associated with the WTRU, permitting the WTRU to implement the program functions using the data stored in the operational data store for data associated with the WTRU by transferring the data between the data store for further data external to the WTRU and the operational data store for data associated with the WTRU. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
