Abstract
A system and method for distributing information from a host service in communication with, a computer network to a mobile station in communication with a wireless network is provided. A data item associated with the mobile station is received at the host service. The host service then determines whether a network resource of the wireless network is currently associated with the mobile station. If the network resource of the wireless network is not currently associated with the mobile station, then the host service transmits a resource request message to the mobile station to instruct the mobile station to acquire the network resource. Subsequently to acquiring the network resource, the host service is then able to transmit the data item to the mobile station using the network resource.

10. A system for distributing information to a wireless mobile station over a wireless network, comprising:
-
a host service in communication with a computer network that receives a data item associated with the wireless mobile station and determines whether a network resource of the wireless network is associated with the wireless mobile station, wherein if the host service determines that the network resource is not associated with the mobile station, then transmiting a resource request message to the wireless mobile station to instruct the wireless mobile station to acquire the network resource; wherein the host service transmits the data item to the wireless mobile station using the network resource; and wherein the network resource is a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of distributing information from a host service in communication with a computer network to a mobile station in communication with a wireless network, comprising:
-
receiving at the host service a data item associated with the mobile station; determining at the host service whether a network resource of the wireless network is currently associated with the mobile station; if the network resource is not currently associated with the mobile station, then transmitting an out-of-band message to the mobile station indicating that the data item is awaiting delivery to the mobile station; receiving an HTTP request addressed to a URL associated with the host service, the HTTP request generated at the mobile station after requesting allocation of the network resource in response to the out-of-band message; and transmitting an HTTP response that includes the data item to the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method of managing at a network resource monitor distribution of information from a host system to mobile stations in a wireless network, comprising:
-
receiving a communication at the network resource monitor; determining whether the communication is a registration request from the host system; if the communication is a registration request, then registering the host system with the network resource monitor, receiving information from the host system about mobile stations associated therewith, and storing the information about mobile stations associated with the host system at the network resource monitor; if the communication is not a registration request, then determining whether the communication is a host system association update; if the communication is a host system association update, then the network resource monitor updating information stored at the network resource monitor regarding mobile stations associated with the host system; if the communication is not a host system association update, then determining whether the communication is a mobile station resource allocation update; and if the communication is a mobile station resource allocation update, then the network resource monitor determining whether the host system is associated with the mobile station, and notifying the host system about the resource allocation update to the mobile. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
