Abstract

A subscriber unit (122) maintains an application registry (226) for registering (404) applications accessible to the subscriber unit. A fixed portion (102) of a wireless communication system keeps (514) a current copy (324) of the application registry of the subscriber unit, and checks (520) the current copy of the application registry in response to having data to send to the subscriber unit. The fixed portion sends (526) the data only when the fixed portion determines (522) that an application compatible with the data is accessible to the subscriber unit.
