Abstract

An approach is provided for the improvement of a messaging bus. A message from a sender application platform associated with a realm is encoded. It is determined that the message is to be transported, using a messaging bus, over one or more other realms to a receiver application platform. Each of the application platforms is configured to communicate over the messaging bus and to provide one or more services to one or more mobile devices.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

encoding a message from a sender application platform associated with a realm; and

determining that the message is to be transported, using a messaging bus, over one or more other realms to a receiver application platform,

wherein each of the application platforms is configured to communicate over the messaging bus and to provide one or more services to one or more mobile devices.

2. A method of claim 1, wherein the encoding of the message is coded using an adaptive algorithm configured for the first realm.

3. A method of claim 2, wherein the adaptive algorithm includes an adaptive Huffman code.

4. A method of claim 2, wherein the realm maintains a local code module and has a corresponding global code module, the method further comprising:

storing a code associated with the encoded message in the local code module; and

updating the global code module with the code.

5. A method of claim 3, wherein the encoding step further comprises partitioning the message into common blocks, the method further comprising:

routing the common blocks to the receiver application platform according to a predetermined policy.

6. A method of claim 3, further comprising:

initiating sending of a notification to the one or more mobile devices of an incoming message using a broadcast, a signaling channel, or a short message.

7. A method of claim 1, wherein the messaging bus is distributed geographically.

9. An apparatus of claim 1, wherein the encoding of the message is coded using an adaptive algorithm configured for the first realm.

10. An apparatus of claim 9, wherein the adaptive algorithm includes an adaptive Huffman code.

11. An apparatus of claim 9, wherein the realm maintains a local code module and has a corresponding global code module, the apparatus being caused to further:

store a code associated with the encoded message in the local code module; and

update the global code module with the code.

12. An apparatus of claim 9, wherein the message is partitioned into common blocks, the apparatus being caused to further:

route the common blocks to the receiver application platform according to a predetermined policy.

13. An apparatus of claim 9, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

initiate sending of a notification to the one or more mobile devices of an incoming message using a broadcast, a signaling channel, or a short message.

8. An apparatus comprising:

at least one memory including computer program code,

the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,

encode a message from a sender application platform associated with a realm, and

determine that the message is to be transported, using a messaging bus, over one or more other realms to a receiver application platform,

wherein each of the application platforms is configured to communicate over the messaging bus and to provide one or more services to one or more mobile devices.

14. An apparatus of claim 8, wherein the messaging bus is distributed geographically.

15. A method comprising:

receiving an encoded message from a sender application platform associated with a source realm;

retrieving a code corresponding to the encoded message;

decoding the encoded message using the retrieved code; and

initiating sending of the decoded message to a receiver application platform associated with a destination realm,

wherein each of the application platforms is configured to provide one or more services to one or more mobile devices.

16. A method of claim 15, further comprising updating the local code module by a global code module.

17. A method of claim 16, wherein the updating step updates the local code module based on decoding needs or a predictive mode.

18. A method of claim 16, wherein the decoding step further comprises decoding common blocks using a policy enforcement engine.

19. A method of claim 16, wherein the encoded message is coded using an adaptive Huffman code.

20. A method of claim 16, wherein the source realm and the destination realm are geographically dispersed.
