The document summarizes performance improvements for transferring short messages over the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). It presents two mathematical models: 1) a dedicated channel model that analyzes throughput over dedicated channels only, and 2) a proposed model that analyzes throughput over both random access channels (RACH) and dedicated channels. The proposed model increases message throughput by allowing RACH to carry messages directly instead of just requests. Results show the proposed model achieves higher throughput than the dedicated channel model across most values of network load and percentage of messages sent over RACH versus dedicated channels. Optimal values for maximizing throughput depend on the network load.
