Abstract:
1. A method for initiating a Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) push session to push information from a push proxy gateway to a mobile station in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: in response to a request from a push proxy gateway to push information from the push proxy gateway to the mobile station, establishing a connection-oriented signalling channel between the network and the mobile station; using said connection-oriented signalling channel to transmit a session initiation request received from the push proxy gateway to the mobile station, the session initiation request being such that the mobile station activates a bearer for establishing a push session towards the push proxy gateway in response to the session initiation request, the bearer being distinct from the connection-oriented signalling channel; the push proxy gateway pushing information to the mobile station using the activated bearer; wherein the connection-oriented signalling channel used to transmit the session introduction request comprises a channel for transmitting Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD).
