Abstract
For improving feed-based automatic distribution of content to a mobile terminal via a mobile network, a network component (150) comprises a network-side agent (160). The network-side agent (160) manages the feed-based automatic transmission of content to the mobile terminal and is configured to periodically generate a feed request to a feed server, to receive a requested feed from the feed server in response to the feed request, and to transmit the received feed to the mobile terminal. The network component (150) may also comprise a cache memory (164) for storing copies of feeds and contents and a proxy for processing feed requests and content requests received from the mobile terminal (110).

38. A mobile terminal for a mobile network, comprising:
-
a client for feed-based automatic reception of content from the mobile network; a feed cache for storing copies of feeds received from the mobile network; and a client-side agent for managing the feed-based reception of content in the mobile-terminal; wherein the client-side agent is configured to; transmit a feed request to the mobile network only if the client is subscribed to a feed of which a copy is not available in the feed cache, receive a requested feed from the mobile network in response to the feed request, and store the received feed in the feed cache. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40)
