Multimedia Service (MMS) Messages
This section is applicable to the lab application and to a test application with the required feature license.
Introduction
The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a service to send and receive messages comprising a combination of rich media including text, sounds, images and video to MMS capable mobile stations. The test set allows you to test the MMS capability of your MS by working with an external MMSC/WAP Gateway emulator (such as NowSMS). For more information please refer to:
In general, sending and receiving MMS messages include following steps:
- MMS message originated by MS1 is transmitted via IP data channels of the test set, then routed by WAP gateway to Multimedia Message Service Center (MMSC). MMS message is saved in the MMSC and waiting for being retrieved.
- MMSC notifies MS2 through SMSC with an SMS message that an MMS message is available for retrieval.
- After receiving the notification, MS2 retrieves the MMS message by setting up a high speed packet data service connection (SO33). See Packet Data Service Configurations for details.
The test set also supports MMS message transmission in Hybrid Mode . See MMS Message Transmission Based on Hybrid Mode System for details.
MMS Using the HTTP Interface
The HTTP interface in the test set provides a full IP based end-to-end test solution for MMS. The test set's IP data channels are used to send MMS messages between the mobile station and an MMS server. The MMS Notification is a mobile terminated SMS message. See HTTP Interface Configuration for Mobile Terminated SMS for more information.
