SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MMS GROUP TRANSMISSION USING HSS

摘要

A multimedia message group transmission system using a home subscriber server and a method thereof are provided to prevent the waste of resources in the group transmission of a multimedia message, thereby utilizing the network resources more efficiently. A multimedia message group transmission system comprises a home subscriber server(30), an MMS(Multimedia Message Service) server(20) and a sub MMS servers(40-a,40-b). The home subscriber server matches group information with group-set subscriber information and then stores the matched result. The MMS server obtains information about receiving subscribers from the home subscriber server, and transmits a multimedia message according to the obtained information. The sub MMS servers transmit multimedia messages to the receiving subscribers according to the multimedia message transmitted from the MMS server and the receiving subscriber information.
