1. A method of regulating messaging by a mobile station in a communication network, said method comprising:
- a mobile station receiving a first message over-the-air from a base station, said first message containing a field settable by the base station to one of a plurality of values to indicate a type of packer data messages that the mobile station is to delay transmitting and a duration of delay, wherein the field is settable to one of the plurality of values by the base station to indicate one of a plurality of types of packet data messages; and
in response to receipt of the first message from the base station, the mobile station setting a delay time in the mobile station to delay over-the-air transmission of the indicated type of packet data messages in accordance with the indicated duration.

Abstract
A communication network includes a base station in radio frequency communication with a mobile station. In order to regulate packet data messaging by the mobile station, the base station transmits a message over-the-air to the mobile station. The message indicates that the mobile station is to delay transmitting packet data messages and a duration of delay. In response to receipt of the message from the base station, the mobile station delays over-the-air transmission of packet data messages (e.g., Data Burst Messages) in accordance with the indicated duration.
