Problems solved by technology

If the selected value for the timer in the SMS-GMSC is too short, this may lead to a situation when the short message is successfully delivered (e.g. by the first retry) but the SMS-GMSC believes it has not, resulting in incorrect charging or double delivery
To avoid this, the SMS router / IP-SM-GW will decide not to retry (or 2nd retry), but this may result in a watchdog timer where the short message will possibly even be timely, i.e. in the SMS-GMSC The situation where delivery was retried before expiration, but it was not, thus delaying the delivery of the SMS to the user
Too long timer value may lead to waste of resources in SMS-GMSC (for example if monitored messages are lost)

Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, system and a computer program product for improved delivery of short messages. A method is described comprising receiving a message to be delivered to a user equipment, negotiating a timer value with a short message service routing element, forwarding said short message to said short message service routing element together with the negotiated timer value and starting a timer according to said negotiated timer value.

Description

technical field [0001] The exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of the present invention relate generally to telecommunications and more particularly to the delivery and processing of short messages. Background technique [0002] Messaging is generally used in telecommunications to refer to a set of features that allow users to create, store, send, receive, and manage different types of messages, such as text messages, multimedia messages, e-mail messages, paging messages, and Fax message. Messaging coverage is typically based on store-and-forward, store-and-retrieve, or store-and-push functionality, and does not necessarily require real-time transport capabilities for applications. [0003] Short Message Service SMS is a store-and-forward messaging technology operating in near real-time mode. SMS is implemented through the use of the Mobile Application Part (MAP) of the Signaling System 7 (SS7) protocol. Short Message (SM) protocol elements are transmitted across the ne...
