Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a telecommunication system that allow controlled delivery of Short Messages SM in a mobile telecommunication network, e.g. as specified in the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standards, the TDMA standards, the CDMA standards, the 3G standards (MMS) as well as in the Signalling System No. 7, IS-41 and IS-95 protocol standards.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
  • TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
  • CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
  • MMS 3G standards
  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling the delivery of Short Messages SM in a mobile telecommunications network according to the individual requirements of the subscribers.
  • Modern mobile telecommunications networks such as the Pan- European Cellular System, known as the Global System for Mobile Communications GSM, allow the transfer of Short Messages SM between subscribers .
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
  • a Mobile Services Switching Center MSC to verify that the transfer of a received mobile originated Short Message SM does not violate supplementary services invoked or restrictions imposed for the calling party. For that purpose a "sendlnfoForMO"-SMS-message is sent to the Visitor Location Register VLR.
  • a successful response from the Visitor Location Register VLR carries the Mobile Station International ISDN Number (MSISDN) of the originating Mobile Station MS, which will be transferred to the (Short Message) Service Center (SM-) SC.
  • MSISDN Mobile Station International ISDN Number
  • Short Message Service SMS does normally not guarantee the delivery of a Short Message SM, since a network operator may deem a message undeliverable after a given validity period. However if the receiving Mobile Station MS can be reached within the given time limit the Short Message SM is delivered unconditionally according to the standards referenced above.
  • Short Messages SM can be routed to a message discrimination module, which comprises a table with SMS message discrimination data, that may be used for spam message discrimination in the mobile telecommunications network. SMS message discrimination data may partially be provided by the subscribers in order to individually suppress specific Short Messages SM, e.g. Short Messages SM with a specific originating address (OA) .
  • OA originating address
  • the method described in [4] uses either direct addressing in order to forward a Short Message SM to a signalling node that comprises a message discrimination module or indirect addressing, e.g. by means of global title translation, in order to route a Short Message SM via a signalling point to a stand ⁇ alone message processing platform.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method and a telecommunication system that allow controlled delivery of Short Messages SM in a mobile telecommunications network PLMN.
  • the method and telecommunication system allow controlled delivery of Short Messages SM in a mobile telecommunication network PLMN that supports the transfer of Short Messages SM according to an implemented Short Message Service SMS.
  • instructions received from a subscriber for handling Short Messages SM are stored in a database of a network entity. Subsequently for a Short Message SM containing sending and receiving party identification information, a lookup is performed in said database using at least one of the sending or receiving party identification information of the sent or received Short Message SM in order to determine whether the sending or the receiving party has provided instructions for further handling of the Short Message SM, which, if available, are executed preferably by the network entity that comprises the database.
  • the present invention allows a subscriber to flexibly control the handling and flow of Short Messages SM that he sends or that are directed to his Mobile Station MS.
  • the subscriber can redirect, copy or distribute Short Messages SM or automatically reply to Short Messages SM in accordance with the instructions he has stored in the database.
  • the Short Message SM can be redirected, copied or distributed to further subscribers depending on the sending or receiving party identification information contained in the examined Short Message SM.
  • a subscriber can decide that all Short Messages SM, that he sends or receives, are copied to another subscriber, e.g. to the Mobile Station MS of his secretary.
  • a subscriber who is the leader of a team can distribute incoming or outgoing Short Messages SM to all team members.
  • Incoming Short Messages SM from third parties, that are addressed to but temporarily not or never handled by the subscriber, can be redirected to a deputy. With this measure the subscriber can ensure that incoming Short Messages SM addressed to his Mobile Station MS are temporarily taken care of by another person, without being disturbed.
  • Short Message SM if a Short Message SM is distributed to further subscribers, e.g. to the above mentioned team members, then the recipients can automatically be declared in the Short Message SM preferably be means of symbols or short codes that are identically used on the sides of the sending and receiving party.
  • a Short Message SM directed to a specific destination address can automatically be answered or distributed.
  • This service can advantageously also be provided, if the subscriber does not use a physical but a virtual Short Message Entity MS/SME.
  • the virtual Mobile Station MS with an assigned destination address (MSISDN) is registered by the network operator preferably as all other Mobile Stations MS.
  • the organisation or individual, that uses the virtual Mobile Station MS can store instructions and messages in the database. These messages can be retrieved by sending a Short Message SM to the virtual Mobile Station MS which will automatically reply with the stored message.
  • an organisation such as a sport club may use this service for providing information to its members or supporters. Distribution or replying is preferably done, if further criteria are fulfilled. E.g., if a message carries a specific originating address or comprises a codeword.
  • information entered into sending party's Mobile Station MS is at least partially converted into symbols or short codes.
  • symbols or short codes E.g., frequently used words or whole sentences are converted into a single symbol.
  • the conversion may automatically be performed by a converter module contained in the subscriber's Mobile Station MS. Further, a list may be provided from which the subscriber can select words for which a symbol or short code is available. In the receiving party's Mobile Station MS, symbols or short codes contained in a Short Message SM are automatically converted back to the information represented by said symbols or short codes .
  • the rules for the conversion process that are provided by the network operator or the administration of a private organisation may be downloaded over the Internet or over the control channels of the telecommunication network PLMN before Short Messages SM are sent.
  • the conversion is automatically performed, if a Short Message SM is addressed to or received from a member of the subscriber group or a subscriber of the network for which the conversion rules were provided.
  • the whole process of converting and reconverting information can be performed without any involvement of the subscriber. If a Short Message SM is received from another network, then the receiving Mobile Station MS could identify said network by means of the Network Specific Number contained in the address field of the Short Message (see [3], page 33) . If foreign network use their own conversion rules, then this conversion rules can be downloaded to the Mobile Station MS and selected according to the Network Specific Number. In a preferred embodiment, an extended lookup in the database is performed to determine whether the Short Message is an unwanted message, that can be discarded.
  • Data relating to the sending or receiving party' s entitlement for storing and executing the above described instructions is preferably stored in the subscriber' s Home Location Register HLR. If the Home Location Register HLR or a Visitor Location Register VLR does not contain an entry, indicating that the subscriber is entitled to supplementary services relating to redirecting, copying and distributing Short Messages SM then the Short Message is handled in a conventional manner.
  • the supplementary services relating to redirecting, copying and distributing Short Messages SM are preferably separated from the supplementary services relating to detecting and discarding Short Messages SM of a malicious character that may disturb the operation of the mobile telecommunications network and the attached Mobile Stations.
  • the suppression of unwanted messages, at least malicious messages may be mandatory in a network, while the supplementary services relating to redirecting, copying and distributing Short Messages SM may be provided optionally for interested subscribers.
  • Short Messages SM may also be statically directed by direct or indirect addressing to the network entity comprising the database that contains instructions for handling Short Messages SM or information, which allows detection of unwanted Short Messages SM.
  • this procedure results in inflexibility of the network management that may cause problems in controlling network traffic, load balancing and redesigning or expanding the network architecture.
  • the present invention proposes intercepting "information requesf'-messages, that are based on mobile originated or mobile terminated Short Messages SM and that are sent by a first network entity, e.g. the Mobile Services Switching Center MSC or the Service Center SC, to the related Home Location Register HLR or to the related Visitor Location Register VLR.
  • Said "information requesf'-messages are intercepted by means of a second network entity which subsequently interrogates said Home Location Register HLR or said Visitor Location Register VLR and returns retrieved routing information, in which the address of the routing destination has been replaced by the address of a third network entity that comprises the database with the instructions for handling Short Messages SM.

  • the protocol architecture of the Short Message System SMS implemented in the mobile network PLMNl is shown in [3], chapter 9, page 30. Transfer of Short Messages SM between Short Message Entities SME such as Mobile Stations MS or fixed stations, requires a Service Center SC which is capable of a) receiving a Short Message SM from a Mobile Station MS or over an interface from a data terminal SME within a TCP/IP network,
  • Procedures allowing the transfer of a Short Message SM from a Mobile Station MS to a Service Center SC are shown in [3] , pages 64 and 65.
  • the Mobile Services Switching Center MSC retrieves information from the Visitor Location Register VLR in order to verify that the requested service is available to the subscriber.

  • the Visitor Location Register VLR is the functional unit that attends to a Mobile Station MS operating outside the area of the Home Location Register HLR.
  • a visiting Mobile Station MS is automatically registered at the nearest Mobile Services Switching Center MSC and the Visitor Location Register VLR is informed accordingly.
  • the gateway GMSC forwards the Short Message SM to the visited Mobile Services Switching Center MSC.
  • the visited Mobile Services Switching Center MSC retrieves corresponding subscriber information from the Visitor Location Register VLR based on which the Short Message SM is forwarded to the Mobile Station MS. Operations are terminated by returning a delivery report to the Service Center SC of the network where the Short Message SM has been initiated.
  • Figure 2 shows an inventive telecommunications network with the first mobile network PLMNl in a preferred embodiment that allows dynamic routing of Short Messages SM without imposing static restrictions on the mobile network PLMNl.
  • Symbolically shown is the transfer of a Short Message SM from a first Mobile Station MSl to a second Mobile Station MS2 with an intermediate access to a database I-BASE that takes place before or after the Short Message SM has reached the Service Center SC.
  • the related Mobile Services Switching Center MSCl sends an "information requesf'-message (SENF-INFO- FOR-MO-SM) to the Visitor Location Register VLR in order to verify that the requested service is available to the subscriber.

  • Accessing the database I-BASE before the Short Message SM is forwarded to the Service Center SC yields several advantages. E.g., due to discarding unwanted Short Message SM the traffic through the Service Center SC can be reduced. Further, if the Short Message SM is distributed or copied, then the resulting Short Messages SM are generated in close range to the Service Center SC, which results in a minimal traffic burden on the network. However, if the indication of the related services is required from the Visitor Location Register VLR then this information must be transferred from the Home Location Register HLR to the concerned Visitor Location Register VLR. It may therefore be preferably to perform the transaction for accessing the database I-BASE after the Short Message SM has reached the Service Center SC (see figure 2 and figure 4) .
  • the Service Center SC or the gateway function GMSC sends a "routing information requesf'-message (SEND-ROUTING INFO-FOR-SM) to the Home Location Register HLR in order to obtain the address of the Mobile Services Switching Center MSC2 that has been visited by the addressed Mobile Station MS2.
