1. A method for controlling at least one message including at least one command and response corresponding to the at least one command, the method comprising:
- generating a concatenated command message by combining multiple commands,wherein the multiple commands have a same priority, andwherein one command of the multiple commands does not affect a process order of the other commands;
transmitting the concatenated command message to a receiver; and
receiving a concatenated response message corresponding to the concatenated command message from the receiver,wherein the concatenated response message is generated by combining multiple responses,wherein the at least one command includes a message concatenation field and a message priority field, the message concatenation field being used to indicate a support of the concatenation of the at least one message and the message priority field being used to indicate a priority level of the at least one message, andwherein the message concatenation field and the message priority field are included in a header part of the at least one command.

Abstract
A method for controlling at least one message including at least one command and response corresponding to the at least one command is disclosed. The method comprise generating a concatenated command by combing multiple commands from a sender, the multiple commands having same priority, transmitting the concatenated command from the sender to a receiver, generating a concatenated response message corresponding to the concatenated command by combining multiple responses from the receiver and transmitting the concatenated response message from the receiver to the sender.

8. A method for controlling at least one message including at least one of command and response, the method comprising:
-
receiving a concatenated command message from a sender, wherein the concatenated command message is formed by combining multiple commands having a same priority, and wherein one command of the multiple commands does not affect a process order of the other commands; processing the concatenated command message according to an order in which the multiple commands are received; generating a concatenated response message corresponding to the concatenated command message by combining multiple responses; and transmitting the concatenated response message to the sender wherein the at least one command includes a message concatenation field and a message priority field, the message concatenation field being used to indicate a support of the concatenation of the at least one message and the message priority field being used to indicate a priority level of the at least one message, and wherein the message concatenation field and the message priority field are included in a header part of the at least one command.

9. An apparatus for controlling at least one message including at least one command and response corresponding to the at least one command, the apparatus comprising:
-
an interface configured to receive a concatenated command message being formed by combining multiple commands having a same priority, wherein one command of the multiple commands does not affect a process order of the other commands, a processor configured to process the concatenated command message according to an order in which the multiple commands are received, a message manager configured to generate a concatenated response message corresponding to the concatenated command message by combining multiple responses, and the interface configured to transmit the concatenated response message, wherein the at least one command includes a message concatenation field and a message priority field, the message concatenation field being used to indicate a support of the concatenation of the at least one message and the message priority field being used to indicate a priority level of the at least one message, and wherein the message concatenation field and the message priority field are included in a header part of the at least one command.
