Method of content delivery in LTE RAN, an eNB and communication system

An evolved Node B (eNB), comprising:

• a receiver, configured to receive a client request for requesting content data from a user equipment (UE);
• a processor, configured to:
• check a segment map according to the client request;
• wherein the segment map is configured to store index information of the content data which is divided into a plurality of segments;
• the segments are distributed in a plurality of eNBs of a Radio Access Network (RAN);
• acquire the plurality of segments from the plurality of eNBs of the RAN according to the index information in the segment map;
• and
• generate the content data by using the plurality of segments;
• and
• a transmitter, configured to send the content data to the UE.

A communication system comprising:

• a user equipment (UE), configured to download or upload content data;
• and
• an evolved Node B (eNB), wherein the eNB comprises:
