System and method for client protocol selection for short data service
Embodiments herein provide a method for managing short data service (SDS) communication in a mission critical data (MCData) communication system. The method includes determining, by a transmitting MCData UE, whether a pre-determined criteria is met for transmitting a one-to-one standalone SDS message or a group standalone SDS message to receiving MCData UE (s). Further, the method includes determining data size of the one-to-one standalone SDS message or group standalone SDS message. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting the one-to-one standalone SDS message to the receiving MCData UE for one-to-one communication or group communication using one of a signaling control plane and a media plane based the determined data size of the one-to-one standalone SDS message or group standalone SDS message.
1. A method for managing group short data service (SDS) communication in a mission critical data (MCData) communication system, by a MCData user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
identifying a presence of allow-to-transmit-data-in-this-group;
identifying whether a size of payload of a group standalone SDS message is greater than maximum amount of data in a single request; and
transmitting the group standalone SDS message to a MCData UE group using a signaling control plane or a media plane,
wherein the transmitting the group standalone SDS message comprises:
in case that the size of the payload is less than or equal to a maximum payload size associated with a signaling over the signaling control plane, transmitting the group standalone SDS message using the signaling control plane, and
in case that the size of the payload is greater than the maximum payload size associated with the signaling over the signaling control plane, transmitting the group standalone SDS message using the media plane.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising in case that the size of the payload is less than or equal to a value regarding max-data-size-SDS-bytes, identifying to transmit the group standalone SDS message to the MCData UE group.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in case that the allow-to-transmit-data-in-this-group is not present in a MCData group document or is present with a value of false in the MCData group document, transmitting of the group standalone SDS message is not allowed to the MCData UE.
4. A mission critical data (MCData) user equipment (UE) for managing group short data service (SDS) communication in a MCData communication system, the MCData UE comprising a SDS manager configured to:
identify a presence of allow-to-transmit-data-in-this-group;
identify whether a size of payload of a group standalone SDS message is greater than maximum amount of data in a single request; and
transmit the group standalone SDS message to a MCData UE group using a signaling control plane or a media plane,
wherein:
in case that the size of the payload is less than or equal to a maximum payload size associated with a signaling over the signaling control plane, the group standalone SDS message is transmitted using the signaling control plane, and
in case that the size of the payload is greater than the maximum payload size associated with the signaling over the signaling control plane, the group standalone SDS message is transmitted using the media plane.
5. The MCData UE of claim 4 , wherein the SDS manager is configured to in case that the size of the payload is less than or equal to a value regarding max-data-size-SDS-bytes, identify to transmit the group standalone SDS message to the MCData UE group.
6. The MCData UE of claim 4 , wherein in case that the allow-to-transmit-data-in-this-group is not present in a MCData group document or is present with a value of false in the MCData group document, transmitting of the group standalone SDS message is not allowed to the MCData UE.
