Integrated method and apparatus to manage mobile devices and services
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a received message is a non-internet protocol (non-IP) message, that includes non-internet protocol content specifying device management information;
generating an internet protocol based over-the-air markup language message that includes a meta element and an encapsulation of the non-IP content, wherein the meta element includes a content type field indicating inclusion of the non-IP content; and
causing, at least in part, transmission of the internet protocol based over-the-air markup language message using an end-to-end internet protocol.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method, a system, a network node and a computer program executable by a data processor or data processors to accommodate a non-IP OTA protocol using an end-to-end IP protocol. The method includes receiving a message from a non-IP entity; using a markup language, such as XML, for message and content representation, where in an XML message non-IP protocol content is identified using an XML ‘Meta’ element, where the Meta element describes the content type as ‘non-IP protocol name’ and sending the XML message. The step of using XML preferably includes encapsulating received content in an XML message and using the XML Meta element to enable a receiver of the XML message to extract the content. The message received from the non-IP entity may be an IS-683 message.
