Abstract

A system and method for providing data transfer from a source node to a destination node in a network using variance based messaging is provided. The method comprises the steps of receiving one or more messages by the source node; selecting a plurality of messages to be grouped from the one or more messages, wherein the plurality of messages comprise data with minimum deviation in content; creating an integrated message from the plurality of messages; sending the integrated message from the source node to the destination node; and recreating each message of the plurality of messages at the destination node.

Claims

1. A method for providing data transfer from a source node to a destination node in a network using variance based messaging, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving one or more messages by the source node;

selecting a plurality of messages to be grouped from the one or more messages, wherein the plurality of messages comprise data with minimum deviation in content;

creating an integrated message from the plurality of messages;

sending the integrated message from the source node to the destination node; and

recreating each message of the plurality of messages at the destination node.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the network is a telephony network.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the source node is a mobile switching center.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the destination node is at least one of a mobile switching center, a base station subsystem, a database node and a bearer node.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or messages are voice calls

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of creating an integrated message from the plurality of messages further comprises the steps of:

creating a common payload area in the integrated message;

storing data common to the plurality of messages in the common payload area;

creating a header block in the integrated message; and

inserting a plurality of header elements corresponding to each message of the plurality of messages in the integrated message, wherein each header element of the plurality of header elements comprises data unique to the corresponding message of the plurality of messages.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising inserting a plurality of reference delimiters in the common payload area, wherein each reference delimiter points to a header element in the header block corresponding to a message of the plurality of messages.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of recreating each message of the plurality of messages at the destination node further comprises the steps of:

associating each reference delimiter with the corresponding header element in the header block; and

extracting data from the corresponding header element and inserting the data at the common payload area to recreate each message.

9. A method for providing data transfer from a source node to a destination node in a network using variance based messaging, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving one or more messages by the source node;

creating an initial template message, wherein the initial template message comprises data common to the one or more messages;

sending the initial template message from the source node to the destination node;

receiving an acknowledgement message for the initial template message from the destination node;

sending one or more delta messages from the source node to the destination node, wherein the one or more delta messages correspond to the one or more messages and wherein each delta message of the one or more delta messages includes unique data corresponding to each message of the one or more messages; and

recreating each message of the one or more messages at the destination node.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the network is a telephony network.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the source node is a mobile switching center.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the destination node is at least one of a mobile switching center, a base station subsystem, a database node and a bearer node.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or messages are voice calls.

14. The method of claim 9 further comprising inserting a transaction identifier in the header of the initial template message before sending the initial template message to the destination node, wherein the transaction identifier is used by the destination node to associate the initial template message with the acknowledgement message.

15. The method of claim 9 further comprising inserting a message identifier in the header of the initial template message before sending the initial template message to the destination node, wherein the message identifier is used by the destination node to associate the initial template message with the one or more delta messages.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of recreating each message of the one or more messages at the destination node further comprises the steps of:

associating the one or more delta messages with the initial template message using the message identifier;

extracting data from the one or more delta messages; and

combining the data extracted from the one or more delta messages with the data from the initial template message to recreate the one or more messages.

17. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein for providing data transfer from a source node to a destination node in a network using variance based messaging, the computer program product comprising:

program instruction means for receiving one or more messages by the source node;

program instruction means for selecting a plurality of messages to be grouped from the one or more messages, wherein the plurality of messages comprise data with minimum deviation in content;

program instruction means for recreating each message of the plurality of messages at the destination node.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, wherein the program instruction means for creating an integrated message from the plurality of messages further comprises:

program instruction means for creating a common payload area in the integrated message;

program instruction means for storing data common to the plurality of messages in the common payload area;

program instruction means for creating a header block in the integrated message; and

program instruction means for inserting a plurality of header elements corresponding to each message of the plurality of messages in the integrated message, wherein each header element of the plurality of header elements comprises data unique to the corresponding message of the plurality of messages.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 further comprising program instruction means for inserting a plurality of reference delimiters in the common payload area, wherein each reference delimiter points to a header element in the header block corresponding to a message of the plurality of messages.

20. The computer program product of claim 19, w herein the program instruction means for recreating each message of the plurality of messages at the destination node further comprises:

program instruction means for associating each reference delimiter with the corresponding header element in the header block; and

extracting data from the corresponding header element and inserting the data at the common payload area to recreate each message.

21. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein for providing data transfer from a source node to a destination node in a network using variance based messaging, the computer program product comprising

program instruction means for receiving one or more messages by the source node;
