Method and apparatus for delivering server-originated information during a dormant packet data session

摘要

A method and apparatus for delivering information to a dormant target mobile communication device is disclosed. The method provides for sending the information when no dedicated traffic channel is established. In one embodiment, the method provides for sending the information in short data bursts. The methods provide for a significant reduction in the actual total dormancy wakeup time by exchanging group call signalling even when the target mobiles are dormant and no traffic channel is active.
