<p>A system is arranged to push content information to mobile user equipment. The data is pushed in the sense that the content is communicated to the mobile user equipment without the mobile user equipment explicitly initiating a request for the content. The system comprises an applications server operable to provide data representative of the content for communication to the mobile user equipment and a push proxy. The push proxy is operable to monitor a quality-of-service, which is currently available for communicating the content data to the mobile user equipment. The push proxy is operable to provide an indication to the applications server of the currently available quality-of-service. The applications server or the push proxy is operable to communicate the content data to the mobile user equipment in accordance with the currently available quality-of-service. For example, the quality-of-service may indicate a currently available communications bandwidth, which can be used to support the communication of the content data. The communications bandwidth may be determined for example by a type of communications interface provided by an access network which is currently available to the mobile user equipment for communicating the content. In other examples a current location of the mobile user equipment can be used by the applications server to select data which is appropriate for pushing to the mobile based upon its location. <IMAGE></p> |
