Abstract: A method for retrieving an MMS message, to be executed at an MMS User Agent, involves: generating an MMS subscription request; sending said MMS subscription request to an MMS server; receiving an MMS notification of an MMS message from the MMS server; in response to receiving said MMS notification, generating an MMS message retrieval request for retrieving said MMS message; sending said MMS message retrieval request to the MMS Server; receiving an MMS message retrieval comprising said MMS message; and in response to receiving said MMS message retrieval from the MMS Server, sending an acknowledgment to the MMS Server. herein the improvement is that: The MMS subscription request is sent using a SIP method SUBSCRIBE. The MMS notification is received using a SIP method NOTIFY. The MMS message retrieval request is sent using a SIP method FETCH. The acknowledgment is sent using a SIP method INFORM.

Abstract: A mobile telecommunications terminal is provided, which makes possible, so as to use the least possible amount of power, a query of messages present for the mobile telecommunications terminal in a telecommunications network. The mobile telecommunications terminal includes a receiving device for receiving messages from the telecommunications network in a receive mode. At the mobile telecommunications terminal, a query mode can be established, in which a control unit, in the event that the receive mode is switched off, activates the receive mode at least one first predetermined time. The control unit checks whether, within a second predetermined time period after the activation of the receive mode, information was received in the receiving device regarding at least one message present in the telecommunications network (10) for the mobile telecommunications terminal.

To change between a packet-oriented PTT session and a circuit-oriented telephone connection as selectable communication connections between at least one first connected radio communication appliance and at least one second connected radio communication appliance in a radio communication system, a first of these two communication connections is selected and set up by at least one connected radio communication appliance and/or by at least one control unit in the radio network in the radio communication system.

Abstract: A method is provided for the accounting of data transmission costs in a mobile radio network, in particular text and/or image data with or without sound, such that data which is or will be transmitted is assigned at least one cost signal for the costs of sending one or more replies relating to the transmitted data, and that this or these cost signal(s) are transmitted to the recipient(s) of the data.

Abstract: A slave station and a method of regulating the transmission power a master station are described, which permit an estimate of the signal/interference ratio in a transmission system without sending a pilot sequence, the transmission power being regulated as a function of an estimate of the signal/interference ratio. In a transmission system, in particular a CDMA transmission system, useful signals assigned to different communicating subscribers are separated by orthogonal codes. A useful signal assigned to one communicating subscriber is derived by using one of the codes from a signal received at least in the slave station from the master station and is compared as a reference signal with the received signal to estimate the signal/interference ratio.
