Method and apparatus to protect wireless networks from unsolicited packets triggering radio resource consumption
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication between a wireless mobile station and a remote device, the method comprising:
- receiving an unsolicited data packet from a remote device, the data packet being addressed to the wireless mobile station;
determining whether to engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device, the determination being based at least in part on the unsolicited data packet;
engaging in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device without transmitting the received data packet to the mobile station upon determining to engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device;
establishing a communication session with the wireless mobile station when the communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is successful; and
forwarding data packets between the wireless mobile station and the remote device when communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is successful and when communication with the wireless mobile station is established.

Abstract
A wireless communication method and wireless gateway device are provided for wireless communication between a wireless mobile station and a remote device. An unsolicited data packet is received from a remote device in which the data packet is addressed to the wireless mobile station. A determination is made as to whether to engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device. The determination is based at least in part on the unsolicited data packet. A communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is performed without transmitting the received data packet to the mobile station upon determining to engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device. A communication session is established with the wireless mobile station when the communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is successful. Data packets are forwarded between the wireless mobile station and the remote device when communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is successful and when communication with the wireless mobile station is established.

9. A gateway apparatus providing data communication between a remote device and a wireless mobile station, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one communication interface receiving an unsolicited data packet from the remote device, the unsolicited data packet being addressed to a wireless mobile station; and a central processing unit in communication with the at least one communication interface, the central processing unit operating to determine whether to engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device, the determination being based at least in part on the unsolicited data packet, the central processing unit using the at least one communication interface to; engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device without transmitting the received unsolicited data packet to the mobile station upon determining to engage in a communication synchronization handshake with the remote device; establish a communication session with the wireless mobile station when the communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is successful; and forward data packets between the wireless mobile station and the remote device when communication synchronization handshake with the remote device is successful and when communication with the wireless mobile station is established. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
