A method of terminating a packet data call at a target mobile station (MS)
operating in the wireless network. The method comprises the steps of: i)
receiving in a PDSN of the wireless network first packet data directed to
the target MS; ii) identifying in the first packet data a mobile
identification number of the target MS; iii) using the mobile
identification number to retrieve an IP address of the target mobile
station from a first database of the PDSN; and iv) forwarding the first
packet data to the target mobile station using the retrieved IP address.
The method further comprises the step of determining from a second
database of the PDSN a target PCF unit and a target base station
controller with which the target MS is currently in communication.
