A method of processing short messages in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- assigning to short messages, by a wireless communication apparatus, indicators transmitted with the short messages;
- initializing, upon transmission of a short message initiating a discussion, a content of an indicator assigned to the short message initiating the discussion with an initial content including an identification of the discussion;
- and
- updating the content of the indicator of each short non-error message sent in response to a received short message and relating to the discussion based on the content of the indicator of the received short message.
A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
- an interface configured to send and receive short messages having assigned indicators transmitted with the short messages, and
- a processor, including an initializer configured to initialize a content of the indicator associated with a short message initiating a discussion with an initial content including an identification of the discussion, and an updater configured to update the content of the indicator of each short non-error message to be sent in reply to a received short message relating to the discussion based on the content of the indicator of the received short message.
