METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING DATA SERVICE SELECTION IN A PACKET DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A packet data communication system (100) that includes an infrastructure (110) in wireless communication with a mobile station (102) provides a data service selection to a user of a mobile station. The infrastructure receives packet data intended for the mobile station, wherein the data packet comprises information concerning a domain (e.g., .domainX, .domainY, .domainZ) sourcing the packet data and an intended destination of the packet data. The infrastructure then conveys the domain information to the mobile station, wherein the domain information allows the mobile station to determine whether to receive the packet data or to activate a packet data service.
