A method and apparatus provides for delivering information to an idle mobile station in a group communication network (100) includes delivering the information to the mobile station in special form, e.g., short data burst (SDB) form, if the information is smaller than a predetermined size limit. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus provides for encapsulating the information inside a frame, forwarding the frame to a server (110) for delivery to the mobile station (102, 104, 106), and causing the server (110) to extract the information from the frame and deliver the information to the mobile station on a forward common channel. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus provides for receiving information for delivery to the mobile station (102, 104, 106), the information being tagged for delivery on a forward common channel, and delivering the information to the mobile station (102, 104, 106) on the forward common channel. In one aspect, the method delivers the information when the mobile station (102, 104, 106) is in idle state with no traffic channel. |
