Patent ID: 8254970

Claim:
A wireless device for communicating with a paging network operations center, the device comprising: an application processor; a memory coupled to the application processor; display circuitry coupled to the application processor; a wireless RF transceiver adapted to receive and transmit data through a cellular or Internet network; a wireless baseband processor coupled to the wireless RF transceiver and the application processor; a paging RF receiver adapted to receive paging data from the paging network operations center through a paging network, the paging data comprising a message and at least one attribute associated with the message; and a paging baseband processor coupled to the paging RF receiver and the application processor, the paging baseband processor adapted to: process the paging data received by the paging RF receiver to retrieve the message and the at least one attribute; associate an error status with the message, the error status comprising an indicator based on whether an error was detected in the received paging data; and transfer the message, the at least one attribute and the error status to the application processor; wherein the application processor is adapted to: cause the wireless RF transceiver to transmit a receipt acknowledgement to the paging network operations center through the cellular or Internet network, the receipt acknowledgement comprising an indication that the message was received and an error indicator based on the error status; store the message in the memory; and transfer the message to the display circuitry for display; and wherein the transmission of the receipt acknowledgement to the paging network operations center enables the paging network operations center to determine whether to resend the message to the wireless device.
