4 Detailed service description
Currently, in order to programmatically receive and send Multimedia Messages, it is necessary to write applications
using specific protocols to access MMS functions provided by network elements (e.g. MMS-C). This approach requires
application developers to have a high degree of network expertise.
This contribution defines a Multimedia Messaging Web Service that can map to SMS, EMS, MMS, IM, E-mail, etc.
The choice is between defining one set of interfaces per messaging network or a single set common to all networks;
e.g. we could define sendMMS, sendEMS, sendSMS, etc., or just use sendMessage. Although the more specific the API
the easier it is to use, there are advantages to a single set of network-neutral APIs. These advantages include:
• improved service portability;
• lower complexity, by providing support for generic user terminal capabilities only.
For this version of the Parlay X 2 specification, we provide sets of interfaces for two messaging Web Services:
Short Messaging (part 4) and Multimedia Messaging (the present document), which provides generic messaging
features (including SMS).
Multimedia Messaging provides operations (see clause 8.1, SendMessage API) for sending a Multimedia message to
the network and a polling mechanism for monitoring the delivery status of a sent Multimedia message. It also provides
an asynchronous notification mechanism for delivery status (see clause 8.3, MessageNotification API).
Multimedia Messaging also allows an application to receive Multimedia messages. Both a polling (see clause 8.2,
ReceiveMessage API) and an asynchronous notification mechanism (see clause 8.3, MessageNotification API and
clause 8.4, MessageNotificationManager API) are available.

Figure 1 shows an example scenario using sendMessage and getMessageDeliveryStatus to send data to subscribers
and to determine if the data has been received by the subscriber. The application invokes a Web Service to retrieve a
stock quote (1) and (2) and sends the current quote - sendMessage - using the Parlay X Interface (3) of the Multimedia
Messaging Web Service. After invocation, the Multimedia Message Web Service sends the message to an MMS-C
using the MM7 interface (4) for onward transmission (5) to the subscriber over the Mobile network.
Later, when the next quote is ready, the application checks to see - getMessageDeliveryStatus - if the previous quote
has been successfully delivered to the subscriber. If not, it may for instance perform an action (not shown) to provide a
credit for the previous message transmission. This way, the subscriber is only charged for a stock quote if it is delivered
on time.

Alternatively this service could have been built using WAP Push features in the network.
Figure 2 shows an example scenario using sendMessage and getMessageDeliveryStatus to send a link to subscribers
and to determine if the data has been received by the subscriber. The application invokes a Web Service to generate a
stock quote graph (1) and (2) and sends the current quote as a WAP Push link - sendMessage - using the Parlay X
Interface (3) of the Multimedia Messaging Web Service. After invocation, the Multimedia Message Web Service sends
the message to an SMS-C (4) for onward transmission (5) to the subscriber over the Mobile network. The subscriber
can then open the link and access his content.

Enumeration value Description
DeliveredToNetwork Successful delivery to the network enabler responsible for distributing the multimedia
message further in the network.
DeliveryUncertain Delivery status unknown: e.g. because it was handed off to another network.
DeliveryImpossible Unsuccessful delivery; the message could not be delivered before it expired.
MessageWaiting The message is still queued for delivery. This is a temporary state, pending transition
to one of the preceding states.
DeliveredToTerminal Successful delivery to Terminal.
DeliveryNotificationNot Unable to provide delivery receipt notification. The notifyMessageDeliveryReceipt
Supported operation will provide "DeliveryNotificationNotSupported" to indicate that delivery
receipt for the specified address in a sendMessageRequest message is not
supported.

7.3 DeliveryInformation structure
Delivery status information.
Element name Element type Optional Description
address xsd:anyURI No Address associated with the delivery status. The address field
is coded as a URI.
deliveryStatus DeliveryStatus No Indicates delivery status for the destination address.


7.4 MessageReference structure
Message information.
Element name Element type Optional Description
messageIdentifier xsd:string Yes If present, contains a reference to a message stored in the Parlay
X gateway. If the message is pure text, this parameter is not
present.
messageService xsd:string No Number associated with the invoked Message service, i.e. the
ActivationNumber destination address used by the terminal to send the message.
senderAddress xsd:anyURI No Indicates message sender address.
subject xsd:string Yes If present, indicates the subject of the received message. This
parameter will not be used for SMS services.
priority MessagePriority No The priority of the message: default is Normal.
message xsd:string Yes If present, then the messageIdentifier is not present and this
parameter contains the whole message. The type of the message
is always pure ASCII text in this case. The message will not be
stored in the Parlay X gateway.
dateTime xsd:dateTime Yes Time when message was received by operator

7.5 MessageURI structure
Message location information.
Element name Element type Optional Description
bodyText xsd:string Yes Contains the message body if it is encoded as ASCII text.
fileReferences xsd:anyURI [0.unbounded] Yes This is an array of URI references to all the attachments in
the Multimedia message. These are URIs to different files,
e.g. GIF pictures or pure text files.

8 Web Service interface definition
8.1 Interface: SendMessage
Operations to send messages and check status on sent messages.
8.1.1 Operation: sendMessage
Request to send a Message to a set of destination addresses, returning a requestIdentifier to identify the message. The
requestIdentifier can subsequently be used by the application to poll for the message status, i.e. using
getMessageDeliveryStatus to see if the message has been delivered or not. The content is sent as one or more
attachments as specified in SOAP Messages with Attachments [3].
addresses may include group URIs as defined in the Address List Management specification. If groups are not
supported, a fault (POL0006) will be returned to the application.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
13 Final draft ETSI ES 202 391-5 V1.3.1 (2008-02)
Optionally the application can also indicate the sender address (senderAddress), i.e. the string that is displayed on the
user's terminal as the originator of the message, the message priority, the message subject, the charging information
and a receiptRequest. The receiptRequest which is a SimpleReference structure indicates the application endpoint,
interface used for notification of delivery receipt and a correlator that uniquely identifies the sending request. By
invoking this operation with the optional receiptRequest part the application requires to receive the notification of the
status of the message delivery.
If the notification mechanism is not supported by a network a fault (SVC0283) will be returned to the application and
the message will not be sent to the addresses specified. Notification to the application is done by invoking the
notifyMessageDeliveryReceipt operation at the endpoint specified in receiptRequest.
The correlator provided in the receiptRequest must be unique for this Web Service and application at the time the
notification is initiated, otherwise a ServiceException (SVC0005) will be returned to the application.
8.1.1.1 Input message: sendMessageRequest
Part name Part type Optional Description
addresses xsd:anyURI [0.unbounded] No Destination addresses for the Message.
senderAddress xsd:string Yes Message sender address. This parameter is not
rd
allowed for all 3 party providers. Parlay X server
needs to handle this according to a SLA for the
specific application and its use can therefore result in
a PolicyException.

4 Detailed service description
Currently, in order to programmatically receive and send Multimedia Messages, it is necessary to write applications
using specific protocols to access MMS functions provided by network elements (e.g. MMS-C). This approach requires
application developers to have a high degree of network expertise.
This contribution defines a Multimedia Messaging Web Service that can map to SMS, EMS, MMS, IM, E-mail, etc.
The choice is between defining one set of interfaces per messaging network or a single set common to all networks;
e.g. we could define sendMMS, sendEMS, sendSMS, etc., or just use sendMessage. Although the more specific the API
the easier it is to use, there are advantages to a single set of network-neutral APIs. These advantages include:
• improved service portability;
• lower complexity, by providing support for generic user terminal capabilities only.
For this version of the Parlay X 2 specification, we provide sets of interfaces for two messaging Web Services:
Short Messaging (part 4) and Multimedia Messaging (the present document), which provides generic messaging
features (including SMS).
Multimedia Messaging provides operations (see clause 8.1, SendMessage API) for sending a Multimedia message to
the network and a polling mechanism for monitoring the delivery status of a sent Multimedia message. It also provides
an asynchronous notification mechanism for delivery status (see clause 8.3, MessageNotification API).
Multimedia Messaging also allows an application to receive Multimedia messages. Both a polling (see clause 8.2,
ReceiveMessage API) and an asynchronous notification mechanism (see clause 8.3, MessageNotification API and
clause 8.4, MessageNotificationManager API) are available.

Figure 1 shows an example scenario using sendMessage and getMessageDeliveryStatus to send data to subscribers
and to determine if the data has been received by the subscriber. The application invokes a Web Service to retrieve a
stock quote (1) and (2) and sends the current quote - sendMessage - using the Parlay X Interface (3) of the Multimedia
Messaging Web Service. After invocation, the Multimedia Message Web Service sends the message to an MMS-C
using the MM7 interface (4) for onward transmission (5) to the subscriber over the Mobile network.
Later, when the next quote is ready, the application checks to see - getMessageDeliveryStatus - if the previous quote
has been successfully delivered to the subscriber. If not, it may for instance perform an action (not shown) to provide a
credit for the previous message transmission. This way, the subscriber is only charged for a stock quote if it is delivered
on time.

Alternatively this service could have been built using WAP Push features in the network.
Figure 2 shows an example scenario using sendMessage and getMessageDeliveryStatus to send a link to subscribers
and to determine if the data has been received by the subscriber. The application invokes a Web Service to generate a
stock quote graph (1) and (2) and sends the current quote as a WAP Push link - sendMessage - using the Parlay X
Interface (3) of the Multimedia Messaging Web Service. After invocation, the Multimedia Message Web Service sends
the message to an SMS-C (4) for onward transmission (5) to the subscriber over the Mobile network. The subscriber
can then open the link and access his content.

subject xsd:string Yes If present, indicates the subject of the received message. This
parameter will not be used for SMS services.
priority MessagePriority No The priority of the message: default is Normal.
message xsd:string Yes If present, then the messageIdentifier is not present and this
parameter contains the whole message. The type of the message
is always pure ASCII text in this case. The message will not be
stored in the Parlay X gateway.
dateTime xsd:dateTime Yes Time when message was received by operator

7.5 MessageURI structure
Message location information.
Element name Element type Optional Description
bodyText xsd:string Yes Contains the message body if it is encoded as ASCII text.
fileReferences xsd:anyURI [0.unbounded] Yes This is an array of URI references to all the attachments in
the Multimedia message. These are URIs to different files,
e.g. GIF pictures or pure text files.

8 Web Service interface definition
8.1 Interface: SendMessage
Operations to send messages and check status on sent messages.
8.1.1 Operation: sendMessage
Request to send a Message to a set of destination addresses, returning a requestIdentifier to identify the message. The
requestIdentifier can subsequently be used by the application to poll for the message status, i.e. using
getMessageDeliveryStatus to see if the message has been delivered or not. The content is sent as one or more
attachments as specified in SOAP Messages with Attachments [3].
addresses may include group URIs as defined in the Address List Management specification. If groups are not
supported, a fault (POL0006) will be returned to the application.

Optionally the application can also indicate the sender address (senderAddress), i.e. the string that is displayed on the
user's terminal as the originator of the message, the message priority, the message subject, the charging information
and a receiptRequest. The receiptRequest which is a SimpleReference structure indicates the application endpoint,
interface used for notification of delivery receipt and a correlator that uniquely identifies the sending request. By
invoking this operation with the optional receiptRequest part the application requires to receive the notification of the
status of the message delivery.
