First Claim
1. A method of a server in connection with transmission of packet data to a wireless communication station via a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from the server to the wireless communication station, a request for the wireless communication station to identify its radio transferring capabilities and to respond with said radio transferring capabilities, wherein said server provides in said request its own packet data network address;
receiving, at the server and from the wireless communication station, a response to the request, the response identifying to the server the radio transferring capabilities of the wireless communications station and said response being received as packet data over a packet data session, said racket data session having been established by said wireless communication station using said packet data network address of said server; and
after the server receives the response, adapting, at the server, information content of a message to be transmitted from the server to the wireless communication station, the information content being adapted based upon the radio transferring capabilities of the wireless communication station as identified in the response from the wireless communication station to said request.

Abstract
Packet data transmissions from network servers are provided to wireless communication stations via wireless communication networks. A network server 30 about to transmit packet data to a wireless communication station 20 first requests the wireless station 20 to provide its radio transferring capabilities to the server 30. Based on these radio transferring capabilities, the information content to be transferred from the server 30 to the wireless station 20, via a wireless communication network 10 and any operatively connecting the server with the wireless network 10, is adapted so that the resulting packet data transmission is suitable for the radio transferring capabilities of the wireless station 20. This results in a reasonable transmission time in elimination of any annoying transmission delays due to bandwidth capacity problems.

13. A method of a wireless communication station in connection with reception of packet data via a wireless communication network to which the wireless station is operatively associated, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from an originator of information, a request that the wireless communication station identify its radio transferring capabilities and respond to the originator of information a response that includes the radio transferring capabilities of the wireless communication station, said request including a packet data network address of said originator; establishing a packet data session with said originator using said packet data network address; and transmitting to said originator the response to said request, wherein information describing the radio transferring capabilities associated with the wireless communication station is included in the response, and wherein the response is transmitted as packet data over the established packet data session. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
