Method and apparatus for detecting specified events in a mobile station
First Claim
1. A method for a mobile station communication protocol stack to detect a specified event, the method comprising:
- communicating between the mobile station communication protocol stack and a communication network;
communicating between the mobile station communication protocol stack and a mobile station application through a mobile station application interface;
polling, by the mobile station communication protocol stack, a memory whenever the mobile station application registers the specified event; and
detecting, by the mobile station communication protocol stack, the specified event based on the polling.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for detecting a specified event in a wireless communication system. The present invention includes an application program interface (API) that facilitates communications between a mobile station communication protocol stack, which communicates with a communication network, and a mobile station application. The mobile station communication protocol stack polls a memory when the mobile station application registers a specified event. Based on the polling, the mobile station communication protocol stack then detects the specified event. In another implementation of the present invention, the mobile station communication protocol stack detects the specified event by an interrupt notice, which is triggered when the specified event occurs.
