Abstract

We have used SMS to exchange messages between mobile phones. Since the network evolved to the ALL-IP network, the next generation messaging service, RCS, has emerged to the market. Because SMS and RCS coexist, we need to inter-work the messages between SMS users and RCS users. This paper introduces a message inter-working framework(MIWF) that can inter-work SMS and RCS without changing end user's UX. It defines the call flows between the network equipment and MIWF. Also, it shows how MIWF converts messages between 3 protocols. Performance evaluation proves that MIWF does not add loads to the existing network.

이동 통신 단말 간 메시지를 주고받기 위하여 이전까지 SMS 서비스를 사용해 왔으나, ALL-IP 네트워크로 발전함에 따라 차세대 메시징 서비스인 RCS 서비스가 상용화되었다. 이렇게 SMS와 RCS가 혼재하는 상황에서 양 서비스를 연동시켜야 사용자간 메시지를 서비스 단절 없이 주고받을 수 있다. 본 논문은 단말의 UX와 기능 변경 없이 네트워크 단에서 MIWF 노드를 사용함으로써 양 서비스를 연동시키는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 각 장비 간 호 처리 흐름과 MIWF의 프로토콜 변환 방법을 정의하였다. 또한 성능 평가를 통해 MIWF를 사용하였을 때 네트워크에 추가적인 부하를 주지 않는다는 것을 증명하였다.
