FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example wireless network that may include a wireless server; -
FIGS. 2 and 3 are block diagrams illustrating two example methods for exchanging IP addressing information between mobile stations; -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating example server databases that may be included on a wireless server for access by wireless clients; and -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example mobile station that may be configured as a wireless server. - With reference now to the drawing figures,
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an examplewireless network 38 that may include awireless server 30. The examplewireless network 38 is an IP network that includes a plurality ofwireless carriers mobile stations mobile stations wireless carrier various Internet services wireless carriers - To connect with one of the
Internet services mobile stations mobile stations Internet services - In order to increase the number of directly addressable IP addresses, a
mobile station 30 may be configured as awireless server 30. Amobile station 30 configured as awireless server 30 may, for example, operate as a wireless HTTP server to accept TCP/IP or UDP/IP connections of various kinds. The IP address of thewireless server 30 may be advertised and distributed to other mobile stations (wireless clients) 32, 42 to enable direct wireless access to thewireless server 30. The use of thewireless server 30 may, for example, enable the address space of twonetworks wireless server 30 should typically be less than that accessed from a land-line network server wireless server 30 may help to preserve network capacity and to prevent base station congestion. - The
wireless server 30 may provide its IP address to other mobile stations (wireless clients) 32, 42, as described below, in order to enable direct access via thewireless network 38. In addition, if the IP address of thewireless server 30 is dynamic (e.g., temporarily assigned by the wireless network 38), then thewireless server 30 may include an IP monitoring agent to monitor the current IP address of thewireless server 30. If the IP monitoring agent detects that thewireless network 38 has assigned a new IP address to thewireless server 30, then the updated IP address may be provided to thewireless clients wireless clients -
FIGS. 2 and 3 are block diagrams illustrating two example methods for exchanging IP addressing information betweenmobile stations FIG. 2 , an example system and method is illustrated for providing awireless client 32 with the IP address of awireless server 30 using an electronic messaging (email)service 106. The example ofFIG. 2 uses anexisting email service 106 to transmit the current IP address of thewireless server 30 within an electronic message (email) sent from thewireless server 30 to thewireless client 32. Also illustrated inFIG. 2 is a service gateway(s) 104 that interfaces the wireless network(s) 34 with theemail service 106. - In operation, an
email 100 containing the current IP address of thewireless server 30 may be transmitted over the wireless network(s) 34 to aservice gateway 104. Theservice gateway 104 provides an interface between thewireless network 34 and a land-line computer network, such as the Internet. Theemail 100 containing the IP address is sent from theservice gateway 104 to theemail service 106, for example via the Internet. Theemail service 106 then delivers theemail 100 back through aservice gateway 104 over the wireless network(s) 34 to thewireless client 32. Theemail service 106 may, for example, be a network based service maintained by a wireless network operator, a publicly available email service, an Internet service provider (ISP) service, a corporate (LAN-based) email service, or others. - Upon receiving the current IP address for the
wireless server 30, thewireless client 32 may transmit its current IP address to thewireless server 30 to enable direct two-way communication over thewireless network 34. Thewireless client 32 may, for example, send its current IP address to thewireless server 30 directly over the wireless network, by a return email, or by some other means. Once the IP addresses have been exchanged, the twomobile stations wireless network resources 102. - In addition, the
wireless server 30 may include an IP monitoring agent that monitors the current IP address of thewireless server 30. The IP monitoring agent may, for example, detect changes to the current IP address of thewireless sever 30 by monitoring a flash memory in themobile station 30. (See, e.g.,FIG. 5 ). If the IP monitoring agent detects that the IP address of thewireless server 30 has been changed, then the IP monitoring agent may send an email message 100 (or other type of communication) to thewireless client 32 and/or other mobile stations that have registered for information from thewireless server 30. The IP monitoring agent may, for example, include an associated table that identifies mobile stations that should be notified (e.g., based on their email addresses) of a change in the IP address of thewireless server 30. -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example system and method for providing awireless client 32 with the IP address of awireless server 30 using an SMS service point. The service provider for the SMS service is the SMS Service Center (SMS-C) 122, which operates as a gateway for routing SMS messages over the wireless network(s) 34 betweenmobile stations - In the example of
FIG. 3 , two paths are illustrated for sending SMS messages between thewireless server 30 and thewireless client 32. Afirst path 120 may be used to send an SMS message containing the IP address of thewireless server 30 directly through the SMS-C gateway 122. Asecond path 124 may be used to route the SMS message containing the IP address of thewireless server 30 through a gateway external to the SMS-C, called the IPaddress exchange service 126. The IPaddress exchange service 126 may be used (e.g., instead of an IP monitoring agent in the wireless server) to maintain a list of all wireless clients that are registered to receive IP address updates from the wireless server. The IPaddress exchange service 126 may then publish the received SMS message from thewireless server 30 to all registeredwireless clients 32. - Upon receiving the current IP address of the
wireless server 30, thewireless client 32 may transmit its current IP address to thewireless server 30 to enable direct two-way communication over thewireless network 34. Thewireless client 32 may, for example, send its current IP address to thewireless server 30 directly over the wireless network, by a return SMS message, or by some other means. Once the IP addresses have been exchanged, the twomobile stations only wireless network 36resources 102. In this manner, a range of peer-to-peer or client-server services may be provided. For example, an instant messaging conversation may take place between two or more peers in a collaborative group. In another example, onemobile station 30 may act as a web server and allow the secondmobile station 32 to attach using HTTP protocols to provide web pages for information exchange. Alternatively, the IP address could be exchanged through an Instant Messaging server, by calling the user's cellular phone to dictate the currently assigned IP address by voice, or by some other means. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustratingexample server databases wireless server 30 for access bywireless clients 32. Aregistration database 200 may be included for storing a list of registeredwireless clients 32 along with contact information for each wireless client(s) 32, such as an email address, SMS name, peer-to-peer information, personal address information, and/or other information. In addition, one or morewireless service databases 202 may be included for storing information available towireless clients 32. The wireless service database(s) 202 may also identify the wireless client(s) 32 registered to receive information from thedatabase 202. For example, the wireless service database(s) 202 may include information such as sport scores, photos from an important soccer match including a photo of the winning goal, patient files for doctors, weather information, and/or other information. - By leveraging the fact that the
wireless server 30 is mobile, an entirely new set of services can be exposed towireless clients 32. Themobile server 30 may also maintain some or all of this information in an off-network IP address exchange service, as shown inFIG. 3 . The IPaddress exchange service 126 may be operable to help thewireless server 30 manage sending e-mail or SMS information tomobile clients 32 when either the information has changed or when the IP address of the server has changed. In this manner, thewireless server 30 need only send a message to the IPaddress exchange service 126 informing it of the change so that the information can be propagated to other affectedmobile stations 32. - An IP-based wireless network allows traditional protocols to be used over IP. For example, HTTP can be used over TCP/IP to access web content on the
mobile web server 30. In alternative embodiments, however, other protocols may be utilized. For example, HHP could be used over UDP/IP to avoid problems associated with using TCP over a wireless link. In another example, HTTP could be used over a proprietary protocol over IP. This is type of protocol is often used in wireless networks when an HTTP proxy server is operating as an interface for accessing Internet content. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an examplemobile station 400 that may be configured as awireless server 30. Themobile station 400 includes aprocessing subsystem 438, acommunications subsystem 411, a short-range communications subsystem 440, amemory subsystem software modules 442. Themobile station 400 also includes a user interface, which may include adisplay 422, akeyboard 432, aspeaker 434, amicrophone 436, one or more auxiliary input/output devices 428, aserial port 430, and/or other user interface devices. - The
processing subsystem 438 controls the overall operation of themobile station 400. Operating system software executed by theprocessing subsystem 438 may be stored in a persistent store, such as aflash memory 424, but may also be stored in other types of memory devices in the memory subsystem, such as a read only memory (ROM) or similar storage element. In addition to the operation system, theflash memory 424 may include a plurality of software application programs executed by the processing subsystem 428, such as avoice communication module 424A, adata communication module 424B, awireless server module 424C, and/orother software modules 424N. Thewireless server module 424C may be operable to cause themobile station 400 to perform the wireless server operations described above with reference toFIGS. 1-4 , and may include an IP monitoring agent as described above. In addition, theflash memory 424 may include one ormore server databases 425, as described above with reference toFIG. 4 . - System software, specific device applications, or parts thereof, may be temporarily loaded into a volatile store, such as a random access memory (RAM) 426. Communication signals received by the
mobile station 400 may also be stored toRAM 426. - Communication functions, including data and voice communications, are performed through the
communication subsystem 411, and possibly through the short-range communications subsystem 440. Thecommunication subsystem 411 includes areceiver 412, atransmitter 414 and one ormore antennas communication subsystem 411 also includes a processing module, such as a digital signal processor (DSP) 420 or other processing device(s), and local oscillators (LOs) 413. The specific design and implementation of thecommunication subsystem 411 is dependent upon the communication network in which themobile station 400 is intended to operate. For example, amobile station 400 may include acommunication subsystem 411 designed to operate within the Mobitex™ mobile communication system, the DataTAC™ mobile communication system, a GSM network, a GPRS network, a UMTS network, and/or an EDGE network. - Network access requirements vary depending upon the type of communication system. For example, in the Mobitex and DataTAC networks, mobile stations are registered on the network using a unique personal identification number or PIN associated with each device. In UMTS and GSM/GPRS networks, however, network access is associated with a subscriber or user of a device. A GPRS device therefore requires a subscriber identity module, commonly referred to as a SIM card, in order to operate on a GSM/GPRS network.
- When required network registration or activation procedures have been completed, the
mobile station 400 may send and receive communication signals over thecommunication network 419. Signals received by theantenna 416 from thecommunication network 419 are routed to thereceiver 412, which provides signal amplification, frequency down conversion, filtering, channel selection, etc., and may also provide analog to digital conversion. Analog-to-digital conversion of the received signal allows the DSP to perform more complex communication functions, such as demodulation and decoding. In a similar manner, signals to be transmitted to thenetwork 419 are processed (e.g., modulated and encoded) by theDSP 420 and are then provided to thetransmitter 414 for digital to analog conversion, frequency up conversion, filtering, amplification and transmission to the communication network 419 (or networks) via theantenna 418. - In addition to processing communication signals, the
DSP 420 provides forreceiver 412 andtransmitter 414 control. For example, gains applied to communication signals in thereceiver 412 andtransmitter 414 may be adaptively controlled through automatic gain control algorithms implemented in theDSP 420. - In a data communication mode, a received signal, such as a text message or web page download, is processed by the
communication subsystem 411 and input to theprocessing device 438. The received signal is then further processed by theprocessing device 438 for output to adisplay 422, or alternatively to some other auxiliary I/O device 428. A device user may also compose data items, such as email messages, using akeyboard 432 and/or some other auxiliary I/O device 428, such as a touchpad, a rocker switch, a thumb-wheel, or some other type of input device. The composed data items may then be transmitted over thecommunication network 419 via thecommunication subsystem 411. - In a voice communication mode, overall operation of the device is substantially similar to the data communication mode, except that received signals are output to a
speaker 434, and signals for transmission are generated by amicrophone 436. Alternative voice or audio I/O subsystems, such as a voice message recording subsystem, may also be implemented on thedevice 400. In addition, thedisplay 422 may also be utilized in voice communication mode, for example to display the identity of a calling party, the duration of a voice call, or other voice call related information. - The short-
range communications subsystem 440 enables communication between themobile station 400 and other proximate systems or devices, which need not necessarily be similar devices. For example, the short-range communications subsystem 440 may include an infrared device and associated circuits and components, or a Bluetooth™ communication module to provide for communication with similarly-enabled systems and devices. - This written description uses examples to disclose the invention, including the best mode, and also to enable a person skilled in the art to make and use the invention. The patentable scope of the invention may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art.
