Abstract
A method for notification in packet-switched communication networks is provided. An application server (40) that wants to notify a mobile terminal (42) transmits a notification message intended for this mobile terminal. The notification is forwarded to a notification server (45), typically via control logic (44). If the status of the mobile terminal corresponds to a first predefined status, for example “non-available”, the notification (41) is stored at the notification server until it receives an indication of a status change to a second predefined status, for example “available”. In response to the status change, the notification is transmitted from the notification server to the mobile terminal, typically via the control logic.
