Abstract
An originating User Services Platform (USP) endpoint segments a payload representing a USP message into smaller segments (also referred to as “fragments” or “chunks”) for transmission of the payload through intermediate proxies having different message size constraints. Upon receipt, a receiving USP endpoint reassembles the smaller segments to recover the payload representing the USP message.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to
- segment a payload representing a User Services Platform message to generate a plurality of payload segments, and
- generate a sequence of User Services Platform records based on the plurality of payload segments, each of the User Services Platform records including (i) a payload segment from among the plurality of payload segments and (ii) segmentation and reassembly state information indicating a state of segmentation of the payload at the electronic device when the included payload segment was generated;
- and
- a transceiver coupled to the one or more processors, the transceiver configured to transmit the sequence of User Services Platform records.

An electronic device, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a sequence of a plurality of User Services Platform records, each of the plurality of User Services Platform records including (i) a payload segment representing a portion of a User Services Platform message, and (ii) segmentation and reassembly state information indicating a state of segmentation of a payload into payload segments at an originating endpoint device;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the transceiver, the one or more processors configured to execute computer-readable instructions to
- buffer the plurality of User Services Platform records, and
- recover the User Services Platform message by reassembling the payload segments of the plurality of User Services Platform records in the buffer in response to receiving a User Services Platform record including segmentation and reassembly state information indicating that segmentation of the payload at the originating endpoint device is complete.
