Method and system for providing an open gateway initiative bundle over the air

A method for processing an open services gateway initiative (OSGi) bundle in a wireless mobile device comprising:

• receiving, by the wireless mobile device, a MIDlet wrapped OSGi bundle containing data representing a MIDP JAR file containing the OSGi bundle in the form of the JAR file and a corresponding MIDlet operative to invoke an OSGi bundle provisioning application interface (API) on the wireless mobile device to install said bundle;
• and
• processing the MIDlet wrapped OSGi bundle by at least executing the corresponding MIDlet to invoke an OSGi bundle provisioning API to install said bundle.

7 A network element comprising:

• a MIDP server operative to send a MIDlet wrapped OSGi bundle containing data representing a MIDP JAR file containing the OSGi bundle in the form of the JAR file and a corresponding MIDlet operative to invoke an OSGi bundle provisioning application interface (API) on the wireless mobile device to install said bundle.

A wireless mobile device comprising:

• a wireless transceiver;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver and operative to execute code representing a MIDlet wrapped OSGi bundle containing data representing a MIDP JAR file containing the OSGi bundle in the form of the JAR file and a corresponding MIDlet operative to invoke an OSGi bundle provisioning application interface (API) on the wireless mobile device and operative to process the MIDlet wrapped OSGi bundle by executing the current ending MIDlet to invoke an OSGi bundle provisioning API to install said bundle.
