First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for delivering content to a portable wireless transceiver, comprising:
- a first wireless transceiver in communication with a second wireless transceiver via a wireless communication link, wherein at least one of the wireless transceiver is a portable wireless transceiver;
a mobility state associated with the portable wireless transceiver;
a request for content having a content type to be transmitted over the communication link; and
a module for limiting the transmission of the content over the communication link based on the mobility state.

Abstract
The delivery of content across a wireless communication link is based on a mobility state associated with a wireless transceiver. The system employs pricing tiers, which represent each subscriber'"'"'s mobility-based privileges to specific content. That is, a mobile user can be charged a premium to maintain the same quality of service as a stationary user. The impact of mobility is thus felt by the mobile subscriber, either by experiencing reduced bandwidth or through higher subscription fees. By limited content delivery, the impact of motion and similar phenomenon on the wireless resources as a whole can be reduced.
