Localized information service for cellular networks using multicast channels
First Claim
1. A system for providing a localized information service using an infrastructure of a cellular communication network, the system comprising:
- a service source terminal configured to transmit a network upload message to the cellular communication network, the network upload message comprising a payload part;
a reflection entity of the cellular communication network configured to;
receive the network upload message;
generate one or more reflection messages comprising the payload part;
send the one or more reflection messages to at least one service destination terminal that has a predetermined spatial relationship with the service source terminal;
wherein a geographical zone is defined as a spatial zone;
wherein the system is configured to automatically operate a first terminal in a connected mode of the cellular communications network when the first terminal is inside the spatial zone, the first terminal being one of the service source terminal and the at least one service destination terminal;
wherein the system if further configured to automatically bring the first terminal into the connected mode in response to entry of the first terminal into the spatial zone.
