Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing mobile services outside of cellular coverage. In the context of a method, an indication is received, at an intermediate device, of data for transmission to a target device for which cellular network communication between an originating device and the target device is not currently available. The method also includes receiving data corresponding to the indication from a memory buffer associated with a short range communication link. The method further includes causing communication of the data via a long range communication link to enable communication of the data to the target device.

Abstract: The application provides a method, apparatus and computer program product to enable the provision of mobile services outside the typical coverage area of a cell. Moreover, some embodiments of the application may enable the provision of burst radio link communications over long distances between transmission and reception devices (e.g., access points) having devices within their respective coverage areas in order to enable the devices to provide data or content from one device to another. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the access points may be enabled to communicate with the devices within their respective coverage areas via short range communication techniques and aspects of cognitive radio may be employed.

Abstract: A radio-powered apparatus (100) is protected from overloading in strong electromagnetic fields. The apparatus uses a resonant circuitry (120) to receive antenna signals at resonance frequency of the resonant circuitry and to obtain power from the received antenna signals. For restricting energy intake of the resonant circuitry, the resonant circuitry is detuned to operate with a smaller efficiency using an adaptive element in the resonant circuitry.

Abstract: An approach is provided for enhancing objects with tag-based content. One or more memory tags associated with one or more objects are detected within proximity of a mobile device. The memory tag contains supplemental information related to the one or more objects. One of the detected memory tags is selected by receiving an input signal or by applying one or more selection criteria. Selection of one of the detected memory tags initiates reading of the supplemental information from the selected memory tag. The supplemental information includes recognition information to associate the supplemental information with a specific section or portion of a respective one of the objects.
