Abstract

A method, and associated apparatus, for the selective transmission of packet data to a mobile terminal operable in a radio communication system. When packet data is to be terminated at the mobile terminal, an SMS (short message service) message is first transmitted to the mobile terminal. A determination is made at the mobile terminal whether to permit transmission of packet data thereto. The packet data is transmitted to the mobile terminal if permission is granted by the mobile terminal.
