First Claim
1. A system for identifying a mobile station to a content server, wherein said mobile station is configured to transmit an access request that requests access to content on said content server and includes a network address of said mobile station, said system comprising:
- a gateway, communicatively coupled to said content server, for inserting identifying information into said access request to identify said mobile station to said content server, said identifying information including at least one additional identifier; and
a network presence server for transmitting network presence information regarding said mobile station to said gateway, wherein said network presence information provides a correlation between said network address of said mobile station and said at least one additional identifier that enables said gateway to determine said at least one additional identifier from said network address in said access request.

Abstract
A gateway receives network presence information regarding a mobile station. The network presence information is based, at least in part, on status messages that a network access server, such as a packet data serving node (PDSN), sends, for example, to an accounting server. The network presence information identifies the mobile station, such as by Internet Protocol (IP) address, network access identifier (NAI), and/or mobile directory number (MDN). When the gateway receives a request from a mobile station to access a content server, e.g., an HTTP GET request, the gateway inserts identifying information, such as NAI and/or MDN, into the request to identify the mobile station to the content server.
