Method and apparatus for retransmitting short message upon transmission failure in mobile radio terminal
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for retransmitting a short message in a mobile radio terminal upon a transmission failure of the short message, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) transmitting the short message and determining whether the short message is acknowledged as successfully transmitted within an interval of time;
b) determining whether a user selects a retransmission function for the short message when the short message is not acknowledged as successfully transmitted within the interval of time;
c) retransmitting the short message when the user selects the retransmission function and;
c) repeating the determining portion of step a and steps b and c for subsequent retransmissions of the short message, the determining portion of step a and steps b and c being repeated until the short message is successfully transmitted or the retransmission function is not selected.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for retransmitting a short message in a mobile radio terminal upon a transmission failure of the short message. The method includes the step of transmitting the short message and determining whether the short message is successfully transmitted. It is then determined whether a user selects a retransmission function for the short message, when the short message is not successfully transmitted. The short message is retransmitted, when the user selects the retransmission function.

2. A method for retransmitting a short message in a mobile radio terminal upon a transmission failure of the short message, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) determining whether a message key is input, when the mobile radio terminal is in an idle state;
b) displaying a message menu, when the message key is input;
c) creating the short message, when a user chooses a message transmission function from the displayed message menu;
d) transmitting the short message;
e) determining whether an acknowledge short message is received within an interval of time to determine whether the short message is successfully transmitted;
f) determining whether a user selects a retransmission function for the short message when the short message is not transmitted successfully;
g) retransmitting the short message when the user selects the retransmission function and h) repeating steps e-g for subsequent retransmissions of the short message, steps e-g being repeated until the short message is successfully transmitted or the retransmission function is not selected. - View Dependent Claims (3)

4. An apparatus for retransmitting a short message in a mobile radio terminal upon a transmission failure of the short message, comprising:
-
a) means for transmitting the short message and determining whether the short message is acknowledged as successfully transmitted within an interval of time;
b) means for determining whether a user selects a retransmission function for the short message when the short message is not acknowledged as successfully transmitted within the interval of time;
c) means for retransmitting the short message when the user selects the retransmission function and d) means for initiating a repeating of the determining portion by the means of part a, the determining function by the means of part b and the retransmitting function by the means of part c for subsequent retransmissions of the short message, the determining portion by the means of part a, the determining function by the means of part b and the retransmitting function by the means of part c being repeated until the short message is successfully transmitted or the retransmission function is not selected. - View Dependent Claims (5)
