This invention provides a delivery route scheduling optimization method, system, and storage medium based on spatial indexing. The method divides the delivery geographic space into spatial partitions using a spatial index structure and records order ownership relationships. It utilizes spatial filling curves to perform one-dimensional dimensionality reduction mapping on pick-up and delivery locations to generate one-dimensional sorting codes, which are then arranged in ascending order to obtain an order sequence with spatial proximity clustering characteristics. Constrained by rider load capacity, consecutive orders are extracted along the order sequence to form candidate order combination combinations. The travel cost of these candidate combination combinations is estimated segment by segment using the spatial index structure, and the cyclic path cost is accumulated according to the access order. The cyclic path costs of all candidate combination combinations are compared, and the one with the lowest cost is selected as the scheduling execution result. Rider assignment information and pick-up / delivery order suggestions are output. This method effectively reduces the computational complexity of delivery route planning and improves the spatial rationality and route economy of order combination.

Techniques for optimizing messages in a telecommunications network are discussed herein. More particularly, an SMSF can be configured to refrain from sending deregistration and / or unsubscribe messages to a UDM in response to a handover from 5G to 4G, which can thereby reduce signaling in the network. Further, because of the suppressed messages, the network maintains SMSF session information, which indicates the delivery location for a SMS message. However, when a SMSC receives a SMS addressed to the UE, the HSS may query a UDR for SMSF session information, SMSF registration status, and / or AMF registration status. The HSS may determine a location for the SMS based on the active location of the UE, as determined by the AMF registration status. Thus, the techniques discussed herein represent network optimizations while allowing SMS messages to be correctly routed in a network.
