Abstract
A method is provided for transmitting multimedia-related information between a terminal and a network device. A first protocol stack ( ) is defined for the terminal and a second protocol stack ( ) is defined for the network device. The protocol stacks consist of layers and serve the arranging of the mutual exchange of information between the terminal and the network device. A second network device intermediates the transmission of multimedia-related information. An octet stream protocol layer ( ) is defined for the transmission of unstructured octet streams as a certain layer in the terminal protocol stack and a certain layer in the second network device's protocol stack, and a network transmission protocol layer ( ) is defined for the transmission of data between the network devices. A multimedia messaging transport protocol layer ( ) is also defined as a certain layer above the octet stream protocol layer ( ) in the terminal's protocol stack and the network transmission protocol layer ( ) in the first network device. Multimedia-related information is exchanged between the multimedia messaging transport protocol layer ( ) in the terminal and the multimedia messaging transport protocol layer ( ) in the first network device through the use of the octet stream protocol layer ( ), the network transmission protocol layer ( ) as well as other lower layers in the protocol stacks.
