Abstract
Radio communication network software downloading methods wherein terminal unique information pertaining to the downloading transaction is communicated on corresponding dedicated communication channels, for example, download initiation (300), capability exchange (320), digital signature (332) and activation and billing (360) communications, among others. Software content, or data, is transmitted (334) from the network to the plurality of terminals on a shared communication channel. In some applications, the software content includes multiple files multiplexed on the shared communication channel, wherein the content may be adjusted dynamically to optimize spectral efficiency.
Claims9
A radio communication network software downloading method, comprising:
- sending, from the network, a message to a plurality of terminals on corresponding dedicated communication channels to receive software content on a shared channel;
- transmitting the software content from the network to the plurality of terminals on the shared communication channel after sending the message,
- the software content comprises a plurality of different software content, the plurality of different software content multiplexed on the shared communication channel;
- dynamically adjusting the plurality of different software content multiplexed on the shared communication channel
- by prioritizing software content that generates greater amounts of revenue relative to software content that generates lesser amounts of revenue.
