Description

Background Art

[0002] Operators who join GSMA (Global System Mobile Association) can obtain each other's international roaming IR21 file (GSM MoU ASSOCIATION PRD IR.21). IR21 file is a standard file for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) international roaming operators to produce each other's bureau data. Operators who do not meet the conditions for joining the GSMA organization cannot obtain each other's IR21 list. Even after joining GSMA, it is necessary to actively add the contact information of the other operator, and require the other party to produce this bureau's data and complete related coordination to achieve business interoperability. If you want to achieve large-scale interoperability, it is very difficult to achieve, and it consumes a lot of time and money. As a result, the local GT (Global Tiele) is unreachable between international operators, and the SMS receiving service cannot be realized.

[0003] In order to realize the SMS receiving service between the SMS centers of international operators without international SMS intercommunication service, the existing technologies include: 1. entrusting a third party to transfer the SMS. However, for operators with number portability service, it is necessary to add new network elements, which has high activation cost; 2. The local office directly configures the bureau data of the other party with the other operator. However, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources and cannot quickly carry out business.

[0029] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete and to fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0030] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0031] For ease of understanding, several terms involved in the present disclosure are explained below:

[0032] International SMS intercommunication: International SMS intercommunication service refers to the service of sending and receiving SMS between Chinese users in mainland China and users of operators outside mainland China (including operators in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan).

[0033] Roaming: The English name is roaming, which is the name of the mobile phone service. It refers to the function that the mobile communication system can still provide services to the mobile station after it leaves the service area where it is registered and moves to another service area. For example, when cellular mobile phone users leave their region or country, they can continue to use their mobile phones in other regions or countries. However, roaming can only be carried out between domestic cities with compatible network standards and already connected to the Internet, or between regions or countries that have signed bilateral roaming agreements. Moreover, the realization of roaming function is technically quite complicated.

[0034] Signaling: The English name is signaling, which is the signal of the control circuit. Signaling is different from user information. User information is directly transmitted from the sender to the receiver through the communication network, while signaling usually needs to be transmitted between different links of the communication network (base station, mobile station and mobile control switching center, etc.). Each link is analyzed and processed and forms a series of operations and controls through interaction. Its role is to ensure the effective and reliable transmission of user information. Therefore, signaling can be regarded as the control system of the entire communication network.

[0035] SCCP: Signaling Connection Control Part, which provides routing and path selection functions based on global codes.

[0036] SMSC: Short Message Service Center, responsible for relaying, storing or forwarding short messages between base stations and mobile stations.

[0037] IMSI: International Mobile Subscriber Identity. It is an identification code used to distinguish different users in a cellular network and is unique in all cellular networks. The mobile phone stores the IMSI in a 64-bit field and sends it to the network. IMSI can be used to query user information in the Home Location Register (HLR) or the Visitor Location Register (VLR). In order to avoid being identified and tracked by eavesdroppers, in most cases, the communication between the mobile phone and the network will use a randomly generated temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) instead of IMSI.

[0038] Below, each step of the SMS transmission method in the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing an exemplary system architecture that can be applied to the SMS transmission method or SMS transmission device of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0063] S306: Receive and forward the SMS message sent by the second SMS center to the first SMS center.

[0064] With respect to S302, in one embodiment, it may be that: the first SMS center does not have an international SMS intercommunication service, the second SMS center and the first SMS center do not have an SMS intercommunication service, and the third SMS center has an international SMS intercommunication service and has established communication with the first SMS center. When the second customer of the second SMS center sends an SMS message to the first customer of the first SMS center, the second SMS center first sends a routing query signaling message, but since the first SMS center and the second SMS center do not have an SMS intercommunication service, in order for the first customer of the first SMS center to receive the SMS message, the third SMS center that has an international SMS intercommunication service and has established communication with the first SMS center receives the routing query signaling message.

[0065] With respect to S304, in one embodiment, it may be that: the third SMS center forwards the received route query signaling message to the first SMS center. The first SMS center sends a route response signaling message to the third SMS center according to the route query signaling message, wherein the route response signaling message is a route response signaling message carrying the global name of the third SMS center. The third SMS center forwards the received route response signaling message to the second SMS center, so that the second SMS center sends a text message to the first SMS center according to the route response signaling message.

[0066] Regarding S306, in one embodiment, it may be that since the first SMS center does not have international SMS interworking service, the SMS message sent by the second SMS center to the first SMS center is first received by the third SMS center and then forwarded to the first SMS center by the third SMS center.

[0067] It should be noted that the above figures are only schematic illustrations of the processes included in the method according to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to be limiting. It is easy to understand that the processes shown in the above figures do not indicate or limit the time sequence of these processes.

[0089] The judgment module is used to judge whether the second SMS center is interoperable with the first SMS center according to the identification result, wherein the third SMS center forwards the route query signaling message to the first SMS center when the second SMS center is not interoperable with the first SMS center.

[0090] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a short message transmission implementation in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0091] like Figure 7 As shown, the SMS transmission implementation parties may include operator A, operator A's parent company (operator B), operator C, and international operator (Abroad SMSC). The SMS transmission implementation principle may include the following process:

[0092] 1. Operator A SMSC (equivalent to the first SMS center) receives the SRI-REQ message (equivalent to the route query signaling message) sent by the international operator SMSC (equivalent to the second SMS center) through the signaling interface interconnected by the local existing GSMA member operators (equivalent to the third SMS center).

[0093] 2. Operator A (equivalent to the first SMS center) replies with a SRI-ACK message (equivalent to the routing response signaling message) to its existing SCCP signaling switching provider (equivalent to the third SMS center). The e164.msisdn field (i.e., source MSC address) of the gsm_map layer is filled with GTC (equivalent to the global name of the third SMS center), and the e212.imsi field of the gsm_map layer is filled with IMSI. The sccp.calling.digits field of the sccp layer is filled with GTC. This is mainly for the purpose of allowing the calling operator (equivalent to the second SMS center) to identify that the number is roaming in the Sponsor (host) operator's network.

[0094] 3. The signaling switch of operator A forwards the SRI-ACK message to the SMSC of the calling international operator.

[0095] 4. The calling international operator SMSC sends the MtFwd message (equivalent to the first SMS message mentioned above) to operator C.

[0096] 5. Operator C forwards the MtFwd message to its signaling switching provider.

[0097] 6. The signaling switch of operator C changes the sccp.called.digits field of the sccp layer of the MtFwd message from GT C to GT B, and forwards it to the signaling switch connected to operator A. The purpose of changing GT C to GT B is mainly to take advantage of the convenience of the signaling switch connected to operator A being the switch of the parent company of operator A, and to reduce the possibility of errors in the middle.

[0098] 7. The signaling switch of operator A changes the sccp.called.digits field of the sccp layer of the MtFwd message from GT B to GT A, and forwards it to the SMSC of operator A. The purpose is to reduce the number of GTs configured by the operator ASMSC and minimize the cost of service activation.

[0099] 8. Operator A SMSC completes the delivery of SMS MT (equivalent to the above SMS message) and returns the MtFwd-ACK message (equivalent to the above notification message) to the SCCP signaling switch. The sccp.called.digits field of the sccp layer is the GT of the international SMSC, and the sccp.calling.digits field of the sccp layer is filled with GT C.

[0100] 9. The signaling router sends the MtFwd-ACK message to the calling international SMSC, completing the entire SMS termination process.

[0101] Based on the above SMS transmission implementation principle, an actual implementation example in a real application scenario is as follows.

[0102] Due to the existence of number portability services between local operators, this telecommunications branch (equivalent to the above-mentioned first SMS center) receives the SRI-REQ routing query signaling (equivalent to the above-mentioned routing query signaling message) from overseas operators (equivalent to the above-mentioned second SMS center) through other local G network operators (equivalent to the above-mentioned third SMS center).

[0103] The telecommunications branch SMSC (equivalent to the first SMS center) determines the source GT of its SRI-REQ. If it is not a local GT, it replaces the source MSC address (equivalent to the global name of the first SMS center) in the SRI-ACK signaling (equivalent to the routing response signaling message) and modifies it to the leased GT (equivalent to the global name of the third SMS center) of the Sponsor (host) operator (equivalent to the third SMS center) obtained by the telecommunications branch from the parent company. The calling operator (equivalent to the second SMS center) that receives the SRI-ACK will consider that the user is roaming in the network of the host operator.

[0104] The calling operator sends the MtFwd message (equivalent to the first SMS message) to the host operator. The host operator sends the MtFwd message to its docking signaling switching provider according to the GT configuration. At the same time, the called GT is transformed from the Sponsor GT to the GT of the telecom parent company.

[0105] The signaling switching provider of the host operator sends the MtFwd message to the signaling switching provider of the telecommunications branch. The signaling switching provider of the telecommunications branch changes the called GT from the GT of the telecommunications parent company to the GT of the branch (equivalent to the global name of the first SMS center mentioned above), and forwards it to the telecommunications branch.

[0106] The telecommunications branch changes the calling GT (equivalent to the global name of the second SMS center) of MtFwd-ACK (equivalent to the above notification message) to Sponsor host GT (equivalent to the global name of the third SMS center), and returns it to the calling operator through its connected signaling switching provider to complete the SMS receiving process.
