Abstract: A first message is communicated between a geomessaging server and a geoinformation server. The first message comprises first payload data and an indicator indicating a given service associated with the first payload data and an indicator indicating a geolocation associated with the first payload data. A second message is communicated between the geomessaging server and a client. The second message comprises second payload data corresponding to the first payload data. Conversion between the first message and the second message is executed.

Abstract: A distribution server for geographically targeted message distribution to a client is used for providing an application service, in particular a vehicular traffic related application service, such as a Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) service. An interworking device connects, e.g., via a cellular network connection, to the distribution server. Further, the interworking device connects via an ad-hoc network connection to the client. On behalf of the client, the interworking device performs registration for the application service at the distribution server. On the basis of the registration, the interworking device forwards at least one message of the application service between the distribution server and the client.

Abstract: A method for providing a network service to a plurality of mobile terminals inside a service area, the mobile terminals being arranged to communicate with a cellular communication network and the service area being a part of a geographical area that is covered by the cellular communication network, the method comprising the steps of defining a grid with grid lines, the grid covering the service area with one or more tiles framed by the grid lines; determining whether there is at least one split tile that results from splitting the one or more tiles along closer grid lines and that does not overlap with the service area; splitting the one or more tiles along the closer grid lines based on the determining; and providing the network service in the split tiles that cover the service area.

Abstract: A method for providing a network service of a cellular communication network covering a geographical area for a plurality of mobile terminals, the method comprising: defining a grid covering at least a part of the geographical area with grid fields, framed by grid lines and spaced by a grid spacing; providing grid information comprising reference point information and information on said grid spacing, generating crossing information in response to one of the plurality of mobile terminals crossing one grid line, based on said grid information and on position information of the at least one mobile terminal, and keeping grid field information for at least one grid field comprising identification information of the one mobile terminal when inside the one grid field based on said crossing information.

Abstract: An apparatus manages vehicle parking services in a flexible and cost efficient manner. Service information for vehicle parking in a spatial and time varying parking area is received at a vehicle from a parking service management apparatus. A geographical position of the vehicle relative to the parking area is determined and forwarded to the parking service management apparatus. These communications can trigger issuance of a vehicle parking ticket at the parking service management apparatus based on the geographical position of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method provides data to a client by a server and comprises receiving a data update; sending a duplicate of the data update to the client; incorporating the data update into a revolving data carousel for holding the data, the data comprising a plurality of data items; and sending a data item on the data carousel to the client.

Abstract: A system providing a network service in a cellular telecommunications network, the system comprising one or more processing entities that are configured: to receive first information identifying a mobile terminal being a party to the network service; to receive second information comprising information identifying the mobile terminal being a party to the network service; to map the information identifying the mobile terminal contained in the second information to the first information; and to map the second information to information indicating a position of said mobile terminal.

Abstract: A method for providing a network service of a cellular communication network covering a geographical area for a plurality of mobile terminals, the method comprising: defining a grid covering at least a part of the geographical area with grid fields, framed by grid lines and spaced by a grid spacing; providing grid information comprising reference point information and information on said grid spacing, generating crossing information in response to one of the plurality of mobile terminals crossing one grid line, based on said grid information and on position information of the at least one mobile terminal, and keeping grid field information for at least one grid field comprising identification information of the one mobile terminal when inside the one grid field based on said crossing information.

Abstract: A method for providing a network service to a plurality of mobile terminals inside a service area. The mobile terminals are arranged to communicate with a cellular communication network and the service area is a part of a geographical area that is covered by the cellular communication network. The method includes defining a grid with grid lines, where the grid covers the service area with one or more tiles framed by the grid lines. A determination is made whether there is at least one split tile that results from splitting the one or more tiles along closer grid lines and that does not overlap with the service area. The one or more tiles are split along the closer grid lines based on the determining, and the network service is provided in the split tiles that cover the service area.
