System and method for exchanging SMS message

Abstract

Disclosed is a system and a method for exchanging a short messaging service (SMS) message. To do this, when a sender edits SMS message data which is longer than the length regulated in an SMS message transmission standard, the SMS message data is compressed using Huffman coding and transmitted. A base transceiver station (BTS) connected to a recipient's mobile station (MS), which has received the compressed SMS message data, restores the SMS message data by decoding the compressed SMS message data and transmits the restored SMS message data to the recipient's MS. Accordingly, SMS message data longer than the length regulated in the SMS message transmission standard can be exchanged, and in exchanging of the compressed SMS message data, a processing time of the compressed SMS message data can be reduced, and power consumption of a recipient's MS due to the processing of the compressed SMS message data can be reduced.
