Abstract

For transmitting messages in a radiotelecommunications network from a first subscriber station, a transmission frame at least two data fields with data in a first data format transmitted in a first data field of the short message, and data in a second data format, different from the first data format, are transmitted in a second data field of the short message, a first identification code, which identifies a makeup of the short message, is transmitted in the first data field and includes information about at least one of a number of data fields, one or more data formats of data in the data fields, and a size of the data fields, and in each of two data fields, one data-field-specific identification code, which identifies a makeup and content of the corresponding data field, per data field is transmitted.

First claim

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:

1. In a radio telecommunications network providing service to a subscriber device, a method, comprising:
receiving a message at the subscriber device before delivery of a short messaging service (SMS) message to the subscriber device that the SMS message contains textual data and at least one of image data or audio data;
sending from the subscriber device a request that only a portion of the SMS message be forwarded to the subscriber device; and
receiving only a portion of the SMS message at the subscriber device based on the request.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving only a portion of the SMS message comprises receiving only the textual data contained in the SMS message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SMS message contains image data and wherein the receiving only a portion of the SMS message comprises receiving the image data of the SMS message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SMS message contains audio data and wherein the receiving only a portion of the SMS message comprises receiving the audio data of the SMS message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SMS message contains image data and the subscriber device contains no image capability, and wherein the receiving comprises receiving the SMS message without the image data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SMS message contains audio data and the subscriber device contains no audio capability, and wherein the receiving only a portion of the SMS message comprises receiving the SMS message without the audio data.

7. In a radio telecommunications network, a method, comprising the steps:
receiving a first short messaging service (SMS) message at a subscriber device informing the subscriber device that a second SMS message having textual content and non-textual media content is available for download;
sending a request to download the second SMS message to the subscriber device;
receiving the second SMS message with only one of the textual content and non-textual media content at the subscriber device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the non-textual media content comprises audio content.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the non-textual media content comprises image content.

10. A telecommunications device configured to perform the method of claim 1 .

11. A telecommunications device configured to perform the method of claim 7 .
