Abstract
The invention provides a method for accessing a quiescent mobile vehicle using a wireless communication system. A vehicle communication device is placed into a discontinuous-receive mode. The vehicle communication device is periodically awakened to a service-ready mode based on the discontinuous-receive mode. A determination is made whether a short message service communication is waiting to be delivered during the service-ready mode. A short message service communication is received in response to the short message service communication determination, and an operation is performed based on the received short message service communication.
