Abstract: A communication system provides real-time communication service such as instant messaging service and group chat service to a plurality of subscribers. The plurality of subscribers generates a plurality of real-time communication messages during a real-time communication session. The mobile station generates a message creation reference associated with a real-time communication message composed by one of the plurality of subscribers. The mobile station transmits the message creation reference and the real-time communication message so that the real-time communication message is arranged relative to the plurality of real-time communication messages during the real-time communication session based on the message creation reference.

Abstract: In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method and a communication network for routing a real-time communication message based on a subscriber profile in a communication system. The communication system provides real-time communication service to a plurality of subscribers such that a first subscriber is in communication with a second subscriber. The communication network (110) receives a real-time communication message from the first subscriber. The communication network (110) also retrieves a subscriber profile associated with the second subscriber. In particular, the subscriber profile includes operating information associated with a wireless device (220 and/or 230) operated by the second subscriber. Based on the subscriber profile, the communication network (110) arranges the message for transmission to the second subscriber. Accordingly, the communication network (110) transmits the arranged message to the second subscriber.
