Multiple network wake-up
First Claim
1. In a mobile communication device that is capable of communicating with a second system over a first communication path comprising a first set of one or more independent communication networks and communicating with the second system over a second communication path comprising a second set of one or more independent communication networks, at least a portion of the second set different from the first set, a method for retrieving one or more messages from the second system, the method comprising:
- in the mobile communication device;
exiting from a power-save mode of operation, in which the mobile communication device does not receive messages from the second system; and
after said exiting from the power-save mode of operation;
determining to establish communication with the second system over the second communication path instead of over the first communication path to retrieve messages from the second system;
establishing communication with the second system over the second communication path; and
retrieving one or more messages from the second system over the second communication path.

Abstract
A system and method for managing messaging in a mobile communication system (e.g., having power-save capability) in a multiple network environment. For example, the mobile communication system may operate in a power-save mode (e.g., a mode in which the mobile communication system does not communicate messages). The mobile communication system may exit the power-save mode. After exiting from the power-save mode, the mobile communication system may determine to establish communication with a second system (e.g., a message server) over a second communication path instead of a first communication path. Communication with the second system may be established over the second communication path, and message-related information may be communicated between the mobile communication system and the second system. Such message-related information may, for example, comprise message information, information regarding message availability, or information regarding the communication of message information.

18. A mobile communication device comprising:
-
a communication interface module that is capable of communicating with a second system over a first communication path comprising a first set of one or more independent communication networks and communicating with the second system over a second communication path comprising a second set of one or more independent communication networks, at least a portion of the second set different from the first set; and at least one module that operates to, at least; operate the mobile communication device in a power-save mode; and after the mobile communication device exits the power-save mode; determine to establish communication with the second system over the second communication path instead of over the first communication path to retrieve messages from the second system; utilize the communication interface module to establish communication with the second system over the second communication path; and communicate information related to pending messages with the second system over the second communication path. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
