Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reporting information to unmanned vehicles in a wireless communications network. In particular there is provided a method, in a first network node operable to initiate multicast broadcasts from a first base station in a wireless communications network. The method comprising receiving a message from a second network node; and responsive to a determination that the message comprises information relevant to unmanned vehicles located within a first geographical area associated with the first base station, initiating a broadcast of a report to a plurality of unmanned vehicles located within the first geographical area, wherein the report is based on the message. There is also provided an unmanned vehicle and gateway node.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) a method performed at the UE of acquiring content, a Radio Base Station (RBS), and a method performed at the RBS of supplying Information Centric Networking (ICN) content to at least one UE. In a first aspect, a method is performed at a UE of acquiring content. The method comprises submitting a request for content to an RBS, receiving, in reply to the request, the requested content from the RBS, the content being acquired by the RBS from an ICN node and provided to the UE from the RBS upon the RBS receiving the ICN content, storing the received ICN content in a local storage at the UE, and acquiring, when a piece of content is to be rendered at the UE, the piece of content from the received ICN content in the local storage.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a communication node for handling packets in a communication network, which communication network is an ICN network. The communication node adds a time stamp to a packet, which packet is requesting content of a service or comprises at least a part of the content of the service and is of a format associated with the ICN network, and which time stamp is added into an ICN header of the packet. Furthermore, the communication node transmits the packet with the added time stamp towards another communication node.

Abstract: The invention relates to wireless communication device and a method performed at the wireless communication device of requesting Information Centric Networking (ICN) content, a network node, and a method performed at the network node of scheduling delivery of ICN content to at least one wireless communication device. In an aspect, a method performed at a network node(102) of scheduling delivery of ICN content to at least one wireless communication device (103) provided. The method comprises receiving (S101a) a request for the ICN content from the at least one wireless communication device (103), deriving (S102), from the received request, content description data specifying at least one property of the ICN content being requested, and scheduling (S103) delivery of the requested ICN content to the at least one wireless communication device (103) on the basis of the derived at least one property of the requested ICN content.
