1. A method for receiving notification at a dual transfer mode mobile station, operating in circuit-switched voice interchange activity, of a packet-switched paging message, comprising:
- engaging said mobile station in circuit-switched voice interchange activity, wherein said mobile station having dual transfer mode capability is a Class A mobile station which supports simultaneous attachment, monitoring, activation invocation and traffic flow on both circuit-switched voice and packet-switched data services, and wherein said mobile station having dual transfer mode capability is a Class B mobile station which supports simultaneous attachment, monitoring and activation on both circuit-switched voice and packet-switched data services, with invocation and traffic flow possible on either service on a mutually exclusive basis, and wherein said mobile station not having dual transfer capability is a Class C mobile station supporting only non-simultaneous attach on either circuit-switched voice or packet-switched data services;
receiving a packet-switched paging notification message over said dedicated control channel, while said mobile station is engaged in circuit-switched voice interchange activity, if said mobile station is operating in dual transfer mode; and
receiving the packet-switched paging notification message over a paging channel, while said mobile station is engaged in circuit-switched voice interchange activity, if said mobile station is not operating in dual transfer mode.

Abstract
A mechanism for notifying a mobile station of receipt of a packet-switched paging message in a GSM communication system. A base station controller (108) sends the packet-switched paging message to the mobile station (116) along a main dedicated control channel in response to the mobile station being capable of operating in a dual transfer mode and being currently engaged in circuit-switch voice interchange activity, resulting in a simultaneous voice and data transmission in dual transfer mode.
