In addition, the MSC connects to the BSC to perform call setup and release functions of the mobile terminal 10, and performs various functions related to call processing and additional services.

The BSC / MSC is responsible for routing general calls and SMS messages.

The HLR 16 is connected to the BSC / MSC 14 and the SMC 18 and manages a variety of information of mobile phone members. The HLR 16 has information on subscription of additional services such as SMS and CB.

The HLR 16 performs a function such as registering a member location by interworking with various BSC / MSCs, and stores the mobile terminal 10 and the permanent and member information of the member, and the mobile terminal 10 mounted in the MSC. It interacts with an unshown Visitor Location Register (VLR), which temporarily stores member information related to the user's information, and supports various functions related to call processing and supplementary services.

The SMC 18 is connected to the BSC / MSC 14, the HLR 16, the SMC 18, and the OMC 22 to play a key role in SMS processing, to set SMS parameters, and to identify a communication service identifier of an input signal. (TI: Teleservice Identifier) and destination address (Destination Address) to send the message to the network element to be processed.

In particular, the SMC 18 transmits a signal input from the BSC / MSC 14 to the SMS server 20 when the message is set to the SMS server 20.

When the SMC 18 is composed of a plurality of messages through the BSC / MSC (14) is sent to the appropriate SMC (18) through a signal transfer point (STP), this message is again sent through the signal exchange Is transmitted to the BSC / MSC 14 and transmitted to another mobile terminal.

The SMS server 20 interoperates with the OMC 22, the CBC 24, and the IP 26, and in particular, interworks with the SMC 18 to store the terminal type, service type, etc. of the SMS member, and then the corresponding communication service. Information from the outside is transmitted to the SMC 18 using the identifier TI.

The CBC 24 is a server that performs a broadcast type information service and is also called a cell broadcasting server (CBS: CB Server). The CBC 24 is connected to the IP 26 to receive information therefrom and to transmit and schedule broadcast information messages. Perform key functions related to information services.

However, the conventional SMS service configured as described above has been able to send and receive text messages anywhere in the area where radio waves can reach, but in a specific area of the society where personal privacy is important in recent years, SMS reception functions in certain areas The need to limit this was raised.
