Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for detecting a specified event in a wireless communication system. The present invention includes an application program interface (API) that facilitates communications between a mobile station communication protocol stack, which communicates with a communication network, and a mobile station application. The mobile station communication protocol stack polls a memory when the mobile station application registers a specified event. Based on the polling, the mobile station communication protocol stack then detects the specified event. In another implementation of the present invention, the mobile station communication protocol stack detects the specified event by an interrupt notice, which is triggered when the specified event occurs.
