5 If MS-B is in idle mode, the VMSC pages MS-B. When VMSC receives a paging response, it sends SM to MS-B via the SDCCH of the BTS where MS-B is located. When MS-B receives SM, it sends a delivery report to VMSC. If MS is in busy mode, VMSC sends SM via SACCH. If MS-B is out of coverage and does not respond to paging, or if it answers that it cannot receive more SMs, VLR sends a negative delivery report.

Gb between SGSN and BSC, to carry GPRS traffic and signalling between the GSM network (BSS) and SGSN in the GPRS network

Gn between SGSN and GGSN in the GPRS network, to provide a data and signalling interface using GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) over an IP based backbone network

Gr between SGSN and HLR, to provide the SGSN access to subscriber information in the HLR (uses MAP of SS7)

Gi between GGSN and the external network

GPRS INTERFACES



1 SMSC sends SM-MT.



2 GMSC requests routing information from HLR



3 HLR returns SGSN and VMSC addresses subscriber to check subscriber has both GSM and GPRS subscription.



4 Assuming no GPRS subscription SMS-GMSC tries to deliver SM-MT via SGSN (primary route).



5 SGSN sends negative acknowledgement because the subscriber is not reachable via GPRS.



6 SMS-GMSC tries to deliver SM-MT via MSC (secondary route).



7 MSC sends positive acknowledgement because SM-MT was delivered successfully.



8 Successful delivery via MSC/VLR is reported to HLR.



9 HLR acknowledges the receipt of a successful delivery report.



10 SMS-GMSC acknowledges SM-MT delivery to SMSC.



1 The SMSC requests MT SM delivery, with primary route indicator=SGSN.

short_message_delivery_request (primary route=SGSN)



2 The SMS-GMSC requests the routing information for the MT-SM from the HLR indicating ‘SMS-GMSC supports GPRS’

MAP-Send-Routing-Info-for-SM-req (SMS-GMSC supports GPRS).



3 The HLR sends two addresses to the SMS-GMSC : the VMSC and SGSN addresses.

MAP-Send-Routing-Info-for-SM-rsp (MSC address, SGSN address)



4 Since the route indicator received from SMSC tells that the GPRS network is the primary route, the SMS-GMSC first tries to deliver the MT-SM via the GPRS network using the SGSN address received.

MAP-MT-forward-SM-req



5 MT-SM delivery was unsuccessful via GPRS network because the subscriber is detached.

The SMS-GMSC receives the reason for unsuccessful delivery.

MAP-MT-forward-SM-rsp (Absent: GPRS detached)



6 The SMS-GMSC tries to deliver the SM-MT via the VMSC,

The secondary route.

7 The MT-SM is successfully delivered to the VMSC.

8 The VMSC informs the SMS-GMSC about the successful delivery of the SM-MT.

9 SMS-GMSC reports the delivery status informing the HLR that the MT-SM was successfully delivered via the VMSC and failed via GPRS network because the subscriber was absent.



10 The HLR acknowledges the report. MAP-report-SM-delivery-Status-rsp



11 The SMS-GMSC informs the SMSC that the SM-MT delivery was successful.

IN-SMS



General

IN-SMS allows you to improve restricted mobility services, create new services based on SMS control, and manage the interaction between GSM and IN services.

IN-SMS is made possible by the use of Triggering Detection Points (TDP), Event Detection Points (EDP), and an INAP interface.

For example, Triggering Detection Points (TDP) and Event Detection Points (EDP) enable prepaid charging, the subscriber to block SMs from a particular source, and forward incoming SMs to another user.



Triggering Detection Points

SMS TDPs (MO-, MT-, and Status Report) and Event Detection Points (EDPs) enable IN-SMS, to

Forward to the SM to another user

Enabling a user to block an SM from a particular source.

Enabling the SCP to request the SSP to send a report about the SM transfer, so making possible prepaid charging.

The TDPs for IN-SMS are located in the VMSC.
