Multiple network wake-up
First Claim
1. In a mobile communication system that is capable of communicating with a second system over a first communication path and over a second communication path, a method for retrieving one or more messages from the second system, the method comprising:
- exiting from a power-save mode of operation in which the mobile communication system does not receive messages from the second system;
after exiting from the power-save mode of operation;
determining to establish communication with the second system over the second communication path instead of over the first communication path;
establishing communication with the second system over the second communication path; and
retrieving one or more messages from the second system over the second communication path.

Abstract
A system and method for managing messaging in a mobile communication system (e.g., having power-save capability) in a multiple network environment. For example, the mobile communication system may operate in a power-save mode (e.g., a mode in which the mobile communication system does not communicate messages). The mobile communication system may exit the power-save mode. After exiting from the power-save mode, the mobile communication system may determine to establish communication with a second system (e.g., a message server) over a second communication path instead of a first communication path. Communication with the second system may be established over the second communication path, and message-related information may be communicated between the mobile communication system and the second system. Such message-related information may, for example, comprise message information, information regarding message availability, or information regarding the communication of message information.

9. In a mobile communication system, a method for determining the existence of one or more pending messages, the method comprising:
-
exiting from a power-save mode of operation in which the mobile communication system does not receive messages; and
after exiting from the power-save mode of operation;
attempting to communicate over a first communication path to check for pending messages; and
if attempting to communicate over the first communication path to check for pending messages fails, then attempting to communicate over a second communication path to check for pending messages. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A mobile communication system comprising:
-
a communication interface module that is capable of communicating with a second system over a first communication path and over a second communication path;
at least one module that operates the mobile communication system in a power-save mode; and
at least one module that, after the mobile communication system exits the power-save mode;
determines to establish communication with the second system over the second communication path instead of over the first communication path;
utilizes the communication interface module to establish communication with the second system over the second communication path; and
communicates information related to pending messages with the second system over the second communication path. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A mobile communication system comprising:
-
a communication interface module that is capable of communicating over a first communication path and over a second communication path;
at least one module that operates the mobile communication system in a power-save mode; and
at least one module that, after the mobile communication system exits the power-save mode;
attempts to communicate over the first communication path to check for pending messages; and
if the attempt to communicate over the first communication path to check for pending messages fails, then attempts to communicate over a second communication path to check for pending messages. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
