Radio module, application device and method for operating an application device that exchanges application data via a cellular radio communication network

摘要

An application device exchanges application data via a cellular radio communication network with an application server. The application device has a memory providing write access for a control entity associated with the network. The application device receives an information element from a network management node operated by the control entity. The information element is indicative of regulation information that defines at least one time span or point in time that can be used for transmission of application exchange data between the application device and the application server. The application device receives an instruction from the network management node to store the regulation information in the device memory, and stores the regulation information. The application device subsequently initiates transmission of the application exchange data between the application device and the application server only at an allowed time that is in accordance with the stored regulation information.

1. A method for operating an application device that exchanges application data via a cellular radio communication network with an external application server operated by an application provider, the application device comprising an application processing device, a device memory providing write access for only a control entity associated with a cellular radio communication network, and a wireless communication terminal connected with the application processing device wherein the method comprises:
the wireless communication terminal receiving an information element from a cellular network management node operated by the control entity, the information element being indicative of regulation information, which defines at least one time span or point in time defined in terms of a week, a day or a time of day, that can be used for an up- or download transmission of application exchange data between the application device and the application server; the wireless communication terminal receiving an instruction to store the regulation information comprised in the information element in the device memory and storing the regulation information correspondingly, wherein the wireless communication terminal of the application device receives the information element via a management-channel communication between the cellular network management node and the device memory; and the wireless communication terminal subsequently initiating a up- or download transmission of the application exchange data between the application device and the application server only at the at least one allowed time that is in accordance with the regulation information stored in the device memory.
