Abstract

A method and a system for providing a push service in a wireless communication system adopting an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme or an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme are provided. The method includes when receiving a message from another network or another messaging server, transmitting, at a messaging server, a push service request message to a push server; when a Mobile Station (MS) of which the push service is requested using the push service request message of the messaging server, operates in an awake mode, transmitting, at the push server, a first push deliver message comprising a message designated for the MS, to a Base Station (BS), and when receiving the first push deliver message, transmitting, at the BS, a second push deliver message based on a Media Access Control (MAC) layer comprising the message designated for the MS, to the MS.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

when a return of the message comprised in the ranging response message is required, transmitting, at the MS, a response message for the message to the BS;

when receiving the response message of the message, transmitting, at the BS, a response message of the first push deliver message to the push server; and

when receiving the response message of the first push deliver message, transmitting, at the push server, a response message of the push service request message to the messaging server.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

when the MS of which the push service is requested using the push service request message of the messaging server operates in an idle mode, transmitting, at the push server, a paging signal to the MS via the BS;

when receiving the paging signal, transmitting, at the MS, a ranging request message to the BS;

when receiving the ranging request message, updating, at the BS, a location of the MS with the push server;

transmitting, at the BS, a ranging response message to the MS;

transmitting, at the push server, a first push deliver message comprising a message designated for the MS, to the BS; and

when receiving the first push deliver message, transmitting, at the BS, a second push deliver message comprising the message designated for the MS, to the MS.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

when a return of the second push deliver message is required, transmitting, at the MS, a response message of the second push deliver message to the BS;

when receiving the response message of the second push deliver message, transmitting, at the BS, a response message of the first push deliver message to the push server; and

when receiving the response message of the first push deliver message, transmitting, at the push server, a response message of the push service request message to the messaging server.

13. A wireless communication system for providing a push service and adopting any one of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme and an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme, the system comprising:

a messaging server for, when receiving a message from at least one of another network another messaging server, transmitting a push service request message to a push server;
