Intermediate network node providing a service to a mobile terminal in a wireless communications network
First Claim
1. A method of a network node of a Radio Access Network of providing a service to a mobile terminal in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a first request for the service from the mobile terminal;
in response to the first request received from the mobile terminal, communicating with a server providing the requested service;
receiving an application software from the server providing the requested service, the application software configured to be executed at the network node to provide the mobile terminal with at least part of the requested service, wherein the application software is provided by the server responsive to the communicating;
providing the mobile terminal with said at least part of the requested service by executing the application software at the network node responsive to the first request;
receiving a second request related to the service from the mobile terminal wherein the second request is subsequent to the first request; and
providing, from the network node, the mobile terminal with at least part of the service requested in said second request on behalf of a provider of said service by executing the application software at the network node, wherein the second request terminates at the network node.

Abstract
A method and intermediate network node provide a service requested by a mobile terminal in a wireless communications network. The intermediate network node has a processing unit and a memory containing instructions executable by the processing unit. The intermediate network node receives a first request for a service from the mobile terminal, and receives application software configured to be executed at the intermediate network node to provide the mobile terminal with at least part of the requested service. The intermediate network node provides the mobile terminal with the at least part of the requested service. A subsequent request related to the service of the mobile terminal terminates at the intermediate network node, and provides the mobile terminal with at least part of the service requested in the subsequent request on behalf of a provider of the service.
