In one embodiment of the invention the application specific data is transmitted from an application device to a central monitoring station in the content field of a register_ss message. In one embodiment of the invention, application-specific data is transmitted from a central monitoring station to an application device in the calling party number field of a caller identification message. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: obtaining application specific data; encoding the application-specific data as a calling party number of a wireless communication system; transmitting the application-specific data over a control channel of the wireless communication system; and calling a mobile station communicatively coupled to an application device such that a mobile subscriber number is provided for the mobile station, and the mobile station is paged using a page including the application-specific data encoded as the calling party number. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless communication system includes any one or more of: a wireless communication system that uses a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and a wireless communication system that uses one or more traffic channels to transmit speech and data and one or more control channels used for signaling. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: decoding the page to obtain the application specific data. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the application-specific data pertains to a telemetry application. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the telemetry application is selected from the group consisting of security application, health monitoring application, vehicle tracking application and asset tracking application, and device monitoring and control application and equipment monitoring and control application. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, further comprising: transmitting the application-specific data from the mobile station to the application device. ### Claim 7 A system comprising: a processing system for encoding application-specific data as a calling party number of a wireless communication system and a communication link to a mobile switching center of the wireless communication system for calling a mobile station communicatively coupled to an application device such that a mobile subscriber number is provided for the mobile station, and the mobile station is paged using a page including the application-specific data encoded as the calling party number. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the wireless communication system includes any one or more of: a wireless communication system that uses a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and a wireless communication system that uses one or more traffic channels to transmit speech and data and one or more control channels used for signaling. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the mobile station includes a means for decoding the page to obtain the application-specific data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the application-specific data pertains to a telemetry application. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the telemetry application is selected from the group consisting of security application, health monitoring application, vehicle tracking application and asset tracking application, and device monitoring and control application and equipment monitoring and control application. ### Claim 12 A non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored therein that, when executed, cause one or more processors corresponding to a system having a device and a server comprising an analytics system to perform operations comprising: obtaining application-specific data; encoding the application-specific data as a calling party number of a wireless communication system; transmitting the application-specific data over a control channel of the wireless communication system; and calling a mobile station communicatively coupled to an application device such that a mobile subscriber number is provided for the mobile station, and the mobile station is paged using a page including the application-specific data encoded as the calling party number. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the wireless communication system includes any one or more of: a wireless communication system that uses a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and a wireless communication system that uses one or more traffic channels to transmit speech and data and one or more control channels used for signaling. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the instructions further include instructions for decoding the page to obtain the application-specific data. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the application-specific data pertains to a telemetry application. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the telemetry application is selected from the group consisting of security application, health monitoring application, vehicle tracking application and asset tracking application, and device monitoring and control application and equipment monitoring and control application. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the instructions further include instructions for transmitting the application-specific data from the mobile station to the application device.
