A method is provided for transmitting notification messages for submission of multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks, wherein to reduce the effort involved in transmitting notification messages and the associated administration effort in an entity sending the notification message on submission of multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks independently of their multimedia capabilities, a service center responsible for sending the notification messages transmits on submission of multimedia messages in a notification message a first notification information which is preferably binary coded, and a second notification information which is preferably embodied as text information, uniformly to different variants of telecommunications devices as regards their multimedia capabilities.

Method for transmitting notification messages on submitting multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks

A method and apparatus for operating a short-haul radio transmitting/radio receiving system conforming to a short-haul radio communication standard wherein a maximum number of devices able to communicate is exceeded. The devices exceeding the maximum number of devices communicating with a master device are switched to a park mode and, continually in keeping with a predefined strategy, parked devices are switched to active while active devices are switched to parked.

Method for operating a short haul radio transmitting/radio receiving system conforming to a short haul radio communication standard and a master device for implementing said method

The present application discloses an apparatus, system and method for reducing the time required for transmitting a multimedia message from any sender to any addressee and thus generally cut the cost of the multimedia message service. A traffic channel connection is kept to a receiving telecommunication device, which is established by a multimedia message service center that has received a multimedia message designated by a transmitting telecommunication device for said receiving telecommunication device, for example, in order to transmit an information message to the receiving telecommunication device during an SMS session by means of which the multimedia message service center informs the receiving telecommunication device about the arrival of the multimedia message, established for at least the period of time it takes the receiving telecommunication device to evaluate the received information message and hold an MMS session for fetching the message content of the multimedia message designated for the receiving telecommunication device from the multimedia message service center.

Multimedia message center for delivering a multimedia message to a telecommunication device during an established traffic channel connection

Method and multimedia message center for delivering a multimedia message to a telecommunication device configured as a multimedia message sink, and telecommunication device for accessing multimedia messages stored in a storage location of a multimedia message service center
