Abstract

In general, media data is stored in a storage medium of a mobile base station. The mobile base station transmits the media data from the mobile base station to a handheld device through a packet data protocol context.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

storing media data in a storage medium of a mobile base station; and

transmitting the media data from the mobile base station to a handheld device through a packet data protocol context.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile base station establishes a first connection to a public data network, the first connection providing a data path for establishing a second connection between the mobile base station and a secure network.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the handheld device registers with the public data network via the mobile base station and the secure network.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein communications from the mobile base station to the public data network and communications from the mobile base station to the handheld device are transmitted at different times.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein a single transceiver transmits communications from both the mobile base station to the public data network and communications from the mobile base station to the handheld device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile base station ceases transmission of the media data to the handheld device during paging periods from the public data network.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile base station reduces a rate of transmission of the media data to the handheld device if the mobile base station is positioned less than a predetermined distance away from a device having a predetermined broadcast strength.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the mobile base station changes a frequency of transmission to the handheld device if the mobile base station remains positioned less than a predetermined distance away from a device having a predetermined broadcast strength for a predetermined length of time.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile base station is located on a vehicle.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the media data stored on the storage medium is updated via WiFi, digital audio, or digital television broadcasts.

11. The method of claim 2, wherein transmissions from the secure network to the mobile base station are controlled such that the mobile base station receives the transmissions at a known time prior to a paging time for the handheld device.

12. A mobile base station comprising:

a storage medium to store media data data;

wherein the mobile base station transmits the media data data to a handheld device through a packet data protocol context.

13. The mobile base station of claim 12, wherein the mobile base station establishes a first connection to a public data network, the first connection providing a data path for establishing a second connection between the mobile base station and a secure network.

14. The mobile base station of claim 13, wherein the handheld device registers with the public data network via the mobile base station and the secure network.

15. The mobile base station of claim 13, wherein communications from the mobile base station to the public data network and communications from the mobile base station to the handheld device are transmitted at different times.

16. The mobile base station of claim 15, wherein a single transceiver transmits communications from both the mobile base station to the public data network and communications from the mobile base station to the handheld device.

17. The mobile base station of claim 12, wherein the mobile base station ceases transmission of the media data to the handheld device during paging periods from the public data network.

18. The mobile base station of claim 12, wherein the mobile base station reduces a rate of transmission of the media data to the handheld device if the mobile base station is positioned less than a predetermined distance away from a device having a predetermined broadcast strength.

19. The mobile base station of claim 18, wherein the mobile base station changes a frequency of transmission to the handheld device if the mobile base station remains positioned less than a predetermined distance away from a device having a predetermined broadcast strength for a predetermined length of time.

20. The mobile base station of claim 12, wherein the mobile base station is located on a vehicle.

21. The mobile base station of claim 12, wherein the media data stored on the storage medium is updated via WiFi, digital audio, or digital television broadcasts.

22. The mobile base station of claim 13, wherein transmissions from the secure network to the mobile base station are controlled such that the mobile base station receives the transmissions at a known time prior to a paging time for the handheld device.

23. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium, for executing instructions on a processor, the computer program product being operable to cause a machine to:

store media data in a storage medium of a mobile base station; and

transmit the media data from the mobile base station to a handheld device through a packet data protocol context.

24. The computer program product of claim 23, wherein the mobile base station establishes a first connection to a public data network, the first connection providing a data path for establishing a second connection between the mobile base station and a secure network.

25. The computer program product of claim 24, wherein the handheld device registers with the public data network via the mobile base station and the secure network.

26. The computer program product of claim 24, wherein communications from the mobile base station to the public data network and communications from the mobile base station to the handheld device are transmitted at different times.

27. The computer program product of claim 26, wherein a single transceiver transmits communications from both the mobile base station to the public data network and communications from the mobile base station to the handheld device.

28. The computer program product of claim 23, wherein the mobile base station ceases transmission of the media data to the handheld device during paging periods from the public data network.

29. The computer program product of claim 23, wherein the mobile base station reduces a rate of transmission of the media data to the handheld device if the mobile base station is positioned less than a predetermined distance away from a device having a predetermined broadcast strength.

30. The computer program product of claim 29, wherein the mobile base station changes a frequency of transmission to the handheld device if the mobile base station remains positioned less than a predetermined distance away from a device having a predetermined broadcast strength for a predetermined length of time.

31. The computer program product of claim 23, wherein the mobile base station is located on a vehicle.

32. The computer program product of claim 23, wherein the media data stored on the storage medium is updated via WiFi, digital audio, or digital television broadcasts.

33. The computer program product of claim 24, wherein transmissions from the secure network to the mobile base station are controlled such that the mobile base station receives the transmissions at a known time prior to a paging time for the handheld device.
