Mechanism for network-initiated information transfer

Abstract

A method for providing a new service or information about it by a server to a mobile terminal (MS) in a packet-switched network comprising several support nodes. An identifier and PDP address are allocated to the MS. An intelligent network node is informed about the identifier and the PDP address of the MS. The PDP address stored in the intelligent network node is used for routing the new service to the mobile terminal. For example, the server can send the intelligent network node an inquiry requesting the PDP address of the MS, and the IN node can send to the server the PDP address of the MS, whereby the server is able to communicate with the MS using the PDP address indicated by the intelligent network node.
