Management of parameters in a removable user identity module
First Claim
1. A method of downloading at least one of a plurality of operating parameters to a mobile station that operates within a network, the plurality of operating parameters being stored within a removable user identity module (R-UIM), the method comprising:
- transmitting a text message to the mobile station over the network;
receiving the text message and thereafter establishing a traffic channel connection between the mobile station and a device management server;
establishing an identity of the mobile station with the device management server;
downloading operating parameters from the device management server to the mobile station via the traffic channel; and
storing the operating parameters in the R-UIM.

Abstract
A wireless communications network includes at least one mobile station and a device management server. Each mobile station has a plurality of operating parameters stored within a removable user identity module (R-UIM), with at least one of the parameters capable of being downloaded to the mobile station. The device management server is capable of controlling a message center to transmit a text message to the mobile station over the network such that the mobile station establishes a traffic channel connection between the mobile station and the device management server. The mobile station can also establish an identity with the device management server such that the device management server can download operating parameters to the mobile station via the traffic channel. In turn, the mobile station is capable of storing the operating parameters in the R-UIM. The device management server can then terminate the traffic channel connection.

21. A method of downloading at least one of a plurality of operating parameters to a mobile station that operates within a network, the plurality of operating parameters being stored within a removable user identity module (R-UIM), the method comprising:
-
transmitting a text message to the mobile station over the network;
receiving the text message and thereafter establishing a data connection between the mobile station and a device management server independent of a signaling channel;
establishing an identity of the mobile station with the device management server;
downloading operating parameters from the device management server to the mobile station via the data channel; and
storing the operating parameters in the R-UIM. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
