2. A method for receiving up-to-date transportation information at a user entity in an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
requesting up-to-date transportation information; determining a uniform resource identifier (URI) associated with desired up-to-date transportation information, wherein the URI includes contact information; sending a session initiation protocol (SIP) invitation to the IMS network controller, the SIP invitation including the URI associated with the desired up-to-date transportation information and support information, the support information indicating capabilities of the user entity to support a media type associated with the contact information; providing a push to talk (PTT) over Cellular (PoC) invitation to a PoC server, the PoC invitation comprising the SIP invitation; retrieving one or more contacts, the one or more contacts determined in response to the contact information and a list of stored contacts for which the up-to-date transportation information is desired; accessing internet sites corresponding to the one or more contacts, the internet sites having transportation information associated therewith, wherein the step of accessing the internet sites comprises the steps of; the PoC server providing a location contact to a data management server; the data management server providing a revised SIP to a internet access management server, the revised SIP including a location server URI in response to determining that the contact information identifies a location contact, a location server URI associated with the location contact defined by the contact information; and the internet access management server initiating an internet session with the location contact if the location contact is an internet address contact in a contact database stored at the internet access management server; and receiving session identification information from the internet access management server identifying the internet session initiated thereby; and providing the desired up-to-date transportation information to the user entity for presentation to the user therefrom, wherein the step of providing the desired up-to-date transportation information to the user entity comprises the step of joining to the internet session in response to receiving the session identification information.
