Abstract
A mobile wireless communication unit comprising: at least one short-range wireless circuit and configured to receive content in a bundle format over a delay tolerant network, using a short range wireless communication technology,—wherein the content relates to at least one of multiple quality of service priority levels; a processor operably coupled to the at least one short-range wireless circuit and configured to determine a priority level of the bundle formatted content. In response to the determined priority level, the processor is configured to: transmit at least the bundle formatted content direct to a network server over a cellular network if the determined priority level of the bundle formatted content is high; or store the bundled content in memory coupled to the processor if the determined priority level of the bundle formatted content is low and transmit at least the bundle formatted content to at least one of: another mobile wireless communication unit or a dedicated delay tolerant network gateway node, when discovered using a short range wireless communication technology.
