Method and apparatus for mobile presence aggregation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, cause the processor to perform operations for forwarding presence information, the operation comprising:

• acquiring the presence information associated with a user;
• packaging the presence information into a message using a compact dictionary, wherein the message comprises an abbreviated form of the presence information;
• and
• forwarding the message containing the presence information that is abbreviated via a non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol to a presences access layer server, wherein the non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol does not store state information, wherein the presences access layer server is for translating the message in the non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol into a presence information data format that is used by a presence server to publish the presence information.

A method for forwarding presence information, comprising:

• receiving, via a processor of a presence access layer server, a message containing the presence information, wherein the presence information that is received comprises the presence information that is abbreviated via a compact dictionary, wherein the message is received via a non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol, wherein the non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol does not store state information;
• identifying, via the processor, the presence information in the message;
• translating, via the processor, the presence information into a presence information data format that is used by a presence server to publish the presence information;
• and
• forwarding, via the processor, the presence information in the presence information data format to the presence server.
