Abstract

The success of the Short Messaging Service (SMS) made mobile telecommunication operators anticipate a similar development for the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). However, the telecommunication industries ability to sustain it through standard person-to-person multimedia messaging was bounded by the mobile phone's limited resources. This increased the pressure on telecommunication operators to develop new value added services on top of MMS infrastructure and prompted the apparition of a practical network element, the Messaging Gateway, standing between the value added services and the operator mobile network. The Messaging Gateway has two components: the Server and the Relay. The Server component provides temporary storage for the MMS messages, while the Relay ensures MMS message routing. The Relay and the Server collaborate through the MM2 interface to create the Messaging Gateway. This thesis studies the Messaging Gateway architecture and investigates how its Server component contributes to the efficiency of the Messaging Gateway. Different architectural approaches to the Server component are studied. After extraction of the Server use cases the thesis proposes a possible MM2 interface definition. An efficient MMS Server solution implementing the proposed MM2 interface is designed, implemented and tested. Finally the new solution is integrated to an existing Gateway, and its performance is compared against the performance of the old solution. After evaluation, ideas on how to further develop the new MMS Server are proposed.
