Mobile Chatting Server for GPRS networks

Abstract

This paper addresses the extension of single mobile-to-mobile to multiple client supporting server design capable of acting as a an hand held mobile server, routing the messages between clients, through general packet radio ser- vices(GPRS) networks without involving internet based servers. Extension is achieved by adding multi-threading architecture in the server. An SMS, containing the server's IP, is sent to the selected client by the server using Wireless Messaging API. Thinlet based user interface is used to develop the client and server applications. The paper describes an application example of Real-time chatting between two clients through our mobile chatting server.
