Selective reception
First Claim
1. A method at a wireless communication station, the station being operatively associated with a wireless communication network providing packet data transferring services, the method comprising:
- receiving a network address of an originator of packet data;
acquiring an identity corresponding to the received network address;
determining, based upon the identity, whether or not packet data reception from said originator is desired; and
establishing, if it is determined that the packet data reception from said originator is desired, a packet data session with said originator, thereby facilitating desired packet data to be pushed from said originator to the wireless communication station.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses and a system in connection with pushing of packet data from an originator to a wireless communication station 20. When a network address is received by the wireless station 20 from a server 50 wishing to push packet data to the wireless station, the corresponding identity is acquired by the wireless station. Based on this identity the wireless station determines if packet data reception from the originator is desired. If such reception is desired, the wireless station establishes a packet data session with the originator. Using this packet data session, the originator is able to transfer, or push, packet data to the wireless station. Thus, according to the invention, pushing of packet data from an originator to a wireless communication station is only facilitated if reception of packet data from that originator is desired, something which can be controlled in real-time.

13. A method of a system which includes a wireless communication station and an originator of information, the station being operatively associated with a wireless communication network providing packet data transferring services, the method comprising:
-
transmitting, from the originator to the wireless communication station, the originator'"'"'s own network address;
determining, at the wireless communication station and based upon an identity corresponding to the received network address, whether or not packet data reception from said originator is desired; and
establishing, from the wireless communication station, if it is determined that the packet data reception from said originator is desired, a packet data session with said originator, thereby facilitating desired packet data to be pushed from said originator to the wireless communication station. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
