- Abstract
- In this paper, the functional architecture for short messaging, payment, and account management RESTful web services was designed that enables IT developers to create applications using telecommunications network elements. Especially, to support a business model that enables operators to offer integrated billing, payment and account management APIs are crucial. In the modeling of short messaging, payment, and account management, we proposed resource definitions and the HTTP verbs applicable for each of these resources. And we measured the TPS of the open service gateway including RESTful web services. Also, using the above model, an example service (i.e. fare payment) consisting of a short messaging service, a payment service, and an account management service was created. Through short messaging, payment, and account management process, the feasibility of the creation of a new service using the proposed architecture and resources was confirmed.
