Description

Short message transmission method, device and system The present application claims priority to Chinese patent application filed on June 28, 2006, the Chinese Patent Office, Application No. 200610061396.6, entitled "A Short Message Transmission System and Method" The entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of network communication technologies, and in particular, to a short message transmission method, apparatus, and system. Background technique

The short message is a short piece of text, a picture, etc., and people can use the short message center to send a short message to communicate with the mobile phone.

The SP is a service provider that can provide short message service services, and implements application-to-point and point-to-application services through short message gateways and short message centers. Currently, various operators in China are carrying out such services.

The SP login to the short message gateway is usually in two modes: long connection and short connection.

The long connection is: the two parties establish a TCP connection in a client-server manner for mutual submission of the mutual information. When there is no data transmission on the channel, the two communication parties should send a link detection message every time C to maintain the connection. When the link detection message is sent after the time T is not received, the link detection message should be sent immediately. Disconnect this connection after it has been sent N-1 times without continuous response.

The short connection is: The two parties establish a TCP connection in a client-server manner, and the response and request are completed in the same connection. The system uses the client/server mode, the operation initiates a connection request in a client-driven manner, and closes the connection after completing an operation.

The feature is that the short message gateway is not connected for a long time. When the connection between the SP and the short message gateway is disconnected, the message sent to the SP is retransmitted several times, and the message is discarded after failing after multiple retransmissions.

It can be seen that in the prior art, for many enterprise short message services or industrial applications that are currently appearing, these SPs are not long-time login at the gateway or because the machine is restarted, etc., the SP disconnection time is long, and the user is disconnected during the disconnection period. The short message service sent is interrupted and cannot provide services; It can reflect the customer's preferential service and enhance the operator's level management of the SP. The characteristics of the application will not be recovered in a short period of time. This will generate a large number of resend messages and waste the processing of the short message gateway.
