METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AN SOAP MESSAGE IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transceiving a simple object access protocol (SOAP) message in a mobile communication system. The method comprises: a step in which a conversion gateway and a wireless device share a method index table therebetween, wherein the method index table includes information for compressing the SOAP message to be transmitted from a service provider server to the wireless device, or for restoring the compressed SOAP message to the SOAP message; a step in which the conversion gateway converts the SOAP message into the compressed SOAP message using the method index table, and transmits the converted message to the wireless device when the service provider server requests that the SOAP message be transmitted to the wireless device; and a step in which the conversion gateway converts the compressed SOAP message into the SOAP message using the method index table, and transmits the converted message to the service provider server when the wireless device requests that the compressed SOAP message be transmitted to the service provider server. According to the present invention, an SOAP-protocol-based message may be transceived in an environment not supporting Internet protocols (IPs).
