1. A method for providing service trigger management in a wireless network, comprising:
- generating an application request for access to a network resource from a mobile unit; and
determining allowability of the application request without accessing external resources, based on session allowability data stored in the mobile unit indicating allowability of a previous request;
wherein allowability of the previous request is determined through an out-of-band communication carried in a vendor-specific extension of a discovery message.
