METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING MESSAGE IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for transmitting a message in a mobile communication system are provided to prevent a long message to be transmitted to a destination subscriber terminal from being lost due to an error generated on wireless communication. CONSTITUTION: A long message service server receives a long message from an origination subscriber terminal and stores it in a database(S410). The long message service server transmits a URL of the stored long message to a destination subscriber terminal(S415). The long message service server is connected with the destination subscriber terminal through an Internet service(S420). The long message service server transmits the received long message to the destination subscriber terminal(S425). The long message service server determines whether there is an error during transmission of the long message(S430). If transmission of the long message is failed, the long message service server attempts re-transmission of the long message(S435). The long message service server determines whether re-transmission of the long message is failed(S440). If re-transmission of the long message is failed, the long message service server transmits the long message to an e-mail address of a destination subscriber(S445). The long message service server generates a short message informing that the long message was transmitted through an e-mail and transmits it to the destination subscriber terminal(S450). The long message service server deletes the received long message(S455).
