RADIO MODULE, APPLICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN APPLICATION DEVICE THAT EXCHANGES APPLICATION DATA VIA A CELLULAR RADIO COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The inventions refers to a method for operating an application device (100) that exchanges application data (111, 211) via a cellular radio communication network (300) with an external application server (200) operated by an application provider, the application device (100) comprising a device memory providing write access for only a control entity associated with the cellular radio communication network (300). According to the invention the method comprises: - the application device (100) receiving an information element (1) from a cellular network management node operated by the control entity, the information element (1) being in indicative of regulation information, which are adapted to define 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 (2) between the application device (100) and the application server (200); - the application device (100) receiving an instruction from the cellular network management node (310) to store the regulation information comprised in the information element (1) in the device memory and storing the regulation information correspondingly; - the application device (100) subsequently initiating a up- or download transmission of the application exchange data (111, 211) between the application device (100) and the application server (200) only at the at least one allowed time that is in accordance with the regulation information stored in the device memory.
