Abstract:
A system to convert a network message into a wireless transport message, comprising:a network-to-wireless transformation database including a message configuration table, the message configuration table including a plurality of configuration nodes wherein at least a subset of the configuration nodes specify message handling attributes; an expansion agent configured to create a wireless transport message from a network message received from a network source, the received network message including message information and a configuration node identifier for identifying a root configuration node, by: constructing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) having a set of DAG nodes, in accordance with information from the configuration nodes and the received network message, each DAG node being associated with a respective configuration node; traversing the DAG starting at the DAG node associated with the identified root configuration node to select a set of message handling attributes, including a selected wireless message transport protocol and a selected wireless message transport conduit; and combining the selected set of message handling attributes with the message information; a message-out structure for storing the wireless transport message; and at least one message delivery mechanism for processing the wireless transport message from the message-out structure in accordance with the selected set of message handling attributes.
