Abstract

The newly introduced multimedia messaging service (MMS), which can be used over the general packet radio service (GPRS)/Universal Mobile Telecommunication (UMTS) short message service (SMS) network demands on an efficient mechanism for handling the message traffic. In this paper, we consider the system´s quality of service (QoS) requirements to the new and forwarded messages and design an optimal buffering scheme for short message transfer in GPRS/UMTS networks, such that the requirements are met. An analytic model is developed that employs one-dimensional continuous-time Markov chain. Based on the model, a search algorithm is designed to find the optimal parameters of the system.
