    Abstract: A proxy node and method for use in an Internet Protocol television peer to peer network. A proxy node includes a receiver for receiving media data on behalf of an end user device. The proxy node further comprises a memory for storing the media data; and a transmitter for sending at least some of the received media data to a further node in the peer to peer network on behalf of the end user device. In this way, further nodes believe that the end user device is sending as much data as it is receiving.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal ( 102 a), a method in a mobile communication terminal, a network node ( 106 a) and a method in network node which allows a service provider to influence the quality of service that is requested for a bearer service for delivery of a service to a mobile client terminal ( 102 a), where the service is initiated by a push message ( 309 ) from the service provider and the set-up of the bearer service is initiated ( 304 ) by the client terminal after reception of the push message. According to the present invention the push message ( 309 ) contains, not only an indication of a service content to be delivered to the client terminal ( 102 a), but also a set of quality of service parameters that the service provider recommends for the bearer service for reception of the service content. Thereby the client terminal ( 102 a) may take the recommendation of the service provider into account when requesting set-up of the bearer service.

    Abstract: A method for web service handling in peer-to-peer communication is provided. A web service (412-1) associated with a web service identity e.g. a URI is arranged in a first mobile node (410). Unique identification information is formed by combining the web service identity with a unique circuit switched identifier of the mobile node, such as the E.164 number. The unique identification information is transmitted to a registration unit (440) and registered together with location information that enables for other mobile nodes (420) to find the web service. The location information may for example comprise the current IP address of the first mobile node and the port number for the web service at this node, or relate to an intermediate device used to reach the web service at the first mobile node.

    Abstract: The invention relates to error messaging in HTTP based communication systems. An intermediate device ( 20 ) interconnecting a wireless client terminal ( 10 ) and a web server ( 30 ) transforms error messages sent from the server before transmitting them to the client. Hereby, a first error status code from the server is transformed into an error description message comprising an error description text and second status code. The second status code preferably enforces display of the error description text at the client terminal. The invention is with advantage implemented in a proxy server ( 20 ) through an error information table ( 22 ) providing resource-location dependent error messages.
