Abstract: This new invention is a method of re-establishing MS-SGSN connections after a partial restart of SGSN, i.e., only the Gb-interface is restarted. The re-establishment is achieved without detaching the MS. With this method Ciphering is re-synchronised, PDP-contexts in unacknowledged mode are re-established, and SMS traffic over GPRS is re-established, while PDP-contexts in acknowledged mode are deactivated with order to re-activate. When the MS is moving within the coverage of a SGSN, the invention can be used to move the context closer to the used Gb-link. When the MS request better Quality of Service, the MS context can moved to more suitable SGSN resource with this invention.

Abstract: A system and method of pushing user-selected data items from a host system to a user's mobile data communication device upon detecting the occurrence of one or more user-defined event triggers is provided. The user may then move (or file) the data items to a particular folder within a folder hierarchy stored in the mobile data communication device, or may execute some other system operation on the data item. Software operating at the mobile device and the host system then synchronizes the folder hierarchy of the mobile device with a folder hierarchy of the host system, and any actions executed on the data items at the mobile device are then automatically replicated on the same data items stored at the host system, thus eliminating the need for the user to manually replicate actions at the host system that have been executed at the mobile data communication device.
