Abstract: According to the present invention a method and an apparatus in a packet-switched network for supplying data packets to receivers (4a-c) belonging to a multicast group are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a routing means (2) for receiving data packets from a sender (1) and for buffering data packets the destination address of which is a multicast address of a multicast group. The apparatus further comprises a control means (3) communicating with the routing means (2) for determining the addresses of the receivers (4a-c) of the multicast group indicated by the multicast address and receiver-specific parameters, for designating filters for each receiver (4a-c) and/or each determined receiver address in accordance with the receiver-specific parameters and for supplying the determined addresses and designated filters to the routing means (2).

Abstract: A system and method for supplying selected advertising to gamers accessing games suppliers over communications networks including mobile networks. Data on the user's geographic location and personal profile are used to select the advertising. The selected advertising is displayed in the game either on screen borders or at selected intervals in the game.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a plurality of data packets are received and routed by a router (1) in a data network. The router (1) comprises storing means (11) for storing a pre-defined list of rules for detecting special data packets, detecting means (12) for detecting special data packets in the received plurality of data packets on the basis of the pre-defined list of rules stored in said storing means (11), and routing means (13) for requesting instructions for the special data packets detected by said detecting means (12) and for routing the special data packets in accordance with instructions received on request. According to the present invention, an advanced service architecture for next generation network services is provided. In this service architecture, the functions of the detecting means (12) and the routing means (13) can be achieved by a service trigger and a service logic, respectively.

Abstract: An apparatus and method perform device management (DM) operations for a wireless network. One example includes receiving, at a network device, connection information of a roaming device in the wireless network. Next, at least one of a user profile and a corresponding roaming device profile are created in response to receiving the connection information, and a device management session may be established. In addition, a bootstrap message may be created based on at least one of the user profile and the corresponding roaming device profile and may be forwarded in order to initiate the device management session.

Abstract: A telecommunications system for receiving from a telecommunications unit a request for data from a target network address may include a request completion unit configured to receive the request for data from the telecommunications unit and to transmit a request for the data to the target address. The request completion unit may be further configured, on receiving the data from the target address, to transmit the data to the telecommunications unit via the radio link. The request completion unit, if it is determined that the request to the target address is not satisfied, may be configured to attempt to establish communication with the target address, and, if it is determined that such communication is possible, transmit an indication via the radio link to the telecommunications unit.
