Air Force Institute of TechnologyAbstract -- The dawning of the information age with its diversity of communications and computer systemsposes a formidable challenge to the graduate student of “communications engineering”. To keep pace with thisexpanding field graduate communications engineering students at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) advance through an integrated curriculum that weaves a web of connections between traditional analog/digitalcommunication theory, discrete signal processing, communications/computer networks, spread spectrumtechniques, and coherent applications sequences of courses in military communications, radar, stealth, andantenna engineering.

Besides GSM, SMS is now widely used by other 3Gnetworks including Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Digital Amps Network, and others.SMS service is the most convenient way for sending text messages. This service is capable ofsending important information such as news and emergency calls with minimal overhead. Forexample, an encrypted and digitally signed SMS is sent with minimum overhead of 3 SMSpackets6. Furthermore, it has generated additional revenue for the telecommunications industry.This technology indisputably has achieved a tremendous success. As of today, many innovativeapplications have been developed. Therefore, mobile communication has a potential impact onmessage services. It satisfies the current

In this approach, several key terms must be defined (for the definitions offered here, seeWasserman & Faust, 1994, ch. 1). Actors refer to the social entities, who are the
