Abstract
The present invention relates to a communication platform for packet communication between at least one service provider in a first network and a radio communication device in a second network, the second network comprises a first network node provided to, at least partly, handle communication between the radio communication device and a gateway located in the second network. The gateway is provided to handle communication between the second network and the communication platform, and the communication platform is provided to collect first data information relating to the radio communication device and second data information relating to a service provider application connected to the radio communication device through the communication platform. The communication platform is further provided to relate the first and second data information to each other to generate a user record specifying usage characteristics for usage of the service provider application by the radio communication device.

35. A communication platform for packet communication between at least one service provider in a first network and a radio communication device in a second network, said second network comprises a first network node provided to, at least partly, handle communication between said radio communication device and a gateway—
- located in said second network, said second network comprises a network address translation functionality translating a set of public IP-addresses, disclosed to said first network, to a set of private IP-addresses used in said second network for TCP-based communication between said first and second network,
wherein said communication platform is provided to receive a request for UDP communication from a service provider application located in said first network to said radio communication device, and wherein said communication platform is provided to set up a mapping from said public set of IP-addresses to said set of private IP-addresses for UDP communication between said service provider application and said radio communication device in said network address translation functionality. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38)
