A New Approach of Instant Message Service Based on XML-Based Jabber Protocol

Nowadays, short message service has been very successful in carrier business. Instant message service also gains popularity through Internet. To bridge them is becoming a new promising niche because people really enjoy getting messages instantly, anywhere and anytime. However, there is still not a common, unified and open standard to communicate with each other. Hence, in this paper we propose an open and XML-based protocol-Jabber, to simplify interconnections among Internet instant message systems and short message systems. Since Jabber is an XML-based protocol in human-readable format, it can be used to cover different underlying protocols and presents a unified and easier interface to message applications and services. Obviously, it is much easier than any conventional or proprietary protocols, to achieve message exchange and interoperability among different systems, such as GSM, PHS, CDMA and 3G. The Jabber protocol is also purely an IP-based solution, which makes it much cheaper than telecommunication-based or circuit-switch solutions to adopt and upgrade. Furthermore, the combination of XML and IP-based solutions can even simplify and unify the interoperability much more cost- effectively than conventional and/or telecommunication-based protocols.
