System and method for providing message push service in wireless communication system

A wireless communication system for providing a push service and adopting any one of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme and an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme, the system comprising:

• a messaging server for, when receiving a message from at least one of another network another messaging server, transmitting a push service request message to a push server;
• the push server for, when a Mobile Station (MS) of which the push service is requested using the push service request message of the messaging server operates in an awake mode, transmitting a first push deliver message comprising a message designated for the MS, to a Base Station (BS);
• and
• the BS for, when receiving the first push deliver message, transmitting a second push deliver message based on a Media Access Control (MAC) layer comprising the message designated for the MS, to the MS,
• wherein the push service request message comprises at least one of MS identification information, a transaction ID, a push server ID, a messaging server ID, a return flag, length information of Packet Data Unit (PDU), and a message PDU, and
• wherein the message PDU comprises at least one of an application ID, message length information, and a message content.

A method for providing a push service in a wireless communication system adopting any one of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme and an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme, the method comprising:

• receiving a message from at least one of another network and another messaging server;
• transmitting, at a messaging server, a push service request message to a push server when the messaging server receives the message from the at least one of another and another messaging server;
• determining whether a Mobile Station (MS) of which the push service is requested using the push service request message of the messaging server operates in an awake mode or an idle mode;
• and
• transmitting to the MS a message comprising the message designated for the MS according to different methods based on whether the MS is determined to be operating in the awake mode or the idle mode.
