Short message original calling control gateway
Technical field
The present invention relates to connect at least the short message original calling control gateway of a short message service center and a mobile communication network, also relate at least and between a short message service center and a mobile communication network, transmit short message, belong to moving communicating field.
Background technology
Along with the continuous enhancing of radio communication service function and perfect, particularly since the Internet marriage radio communication, SMS (Short Message Service) (Short Message Service) has become a kind of communication fashion.SMS service has become the new century value-added telecom services of " fashion " undoubtedly.Short message is with surprising bamboo telegraph and popularize, and one allows the impressive short message of people, can cause that thus the short message traffic volume rises with the index rank rapidly by " one passes ten, ten passes hundred ", the frequent dilatation of system, and system processing power is raised on the way.
(comprising China Mobile and CHINAUNICOM) short message equipment provides producer not following 15 families on the mobile network at present.But have many producers system processing power not catch up with the needs of market development, perhaps service expansion capability is very poor, can not adapt to the needs in market.This makes operator's pressure that disposal ability is stronger, the better system of service expansion capability replaces or share original system of having to consider to adopt.
If operator's initial investment is little, maybe existing equipment can be done to scrap processing, substitute legacy system with new system, then there is not the problem of description involved in the present invention.But the in fact early stage equipment investment volume of introducing dropped into general less than of application time 2 years substantially all more than ten million from opening to, and general operator all wishes to have the scheme that reuses preferably.
In addition, according to present technical system, serve a mobile subscriber if overlap short message service center more, the mobile subscriber can face the problem that short message service center is provided with in the regular change mobile phone, and this is unfavorable for the exploitation of new business and introduces new equipment to introduce competition mechanism on reservation original investment basis very much.
A present solution is by a plurality of short message service centers of delineation of activities function: the short message processing that mobile phone is risen to exhale is arranged in the short message service center, to issue the class business setting of class business or STK (SIM card toolkit application technology) card in another or several short message service center, can partly solve the above problems.But like this can only be with short message service center by the big class of delineation of activities, each short message service center can not backup each other, and increases relatively difficulty of point-to-point short message service center.
On the other hand, though short message is not to send in real time, at present increasing bearer service is had higher requirement to the short message real-time.With GPS location (satellite fix) business is example: the localization message that vehicle sends must send to Surveillance center in a few minutes, otherwise locating information has lost meaning.This has all proposed new requirement to real-time, the reliability that short message transmits, otherwise does not just satisfy the needs in market.For reaching this purpose, the equipment that increases redundancy backup in short message service center's side no doubt can reduce the problem that short message service center's blocking-up causes more, if but can realize that a plurality of short message service centers backup each other, will bring higher security reliability.
Do not retrieve at present the patent documentation of discussing and addressing the above problem as yet.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to realize a kind of short message original calling control appliance, it is the destination of all short message original callings in mobile network on the one hand, it can adopt SMPP (the Short Message Peer to Peer Protocol) agreement of standard to connect with a plurality of short message service centers on the other hand, exhale short message to be distributed to each short message service center rising of receiving and to handle, to shield complexity and each short message service center's load of balance that different short message service centers number causes that the user is provided with, to reduce the short message service interruption rate with SMPP message.
The short message original calling control gateway that the present invention proposes comprises following part:

Embodiment
The structure of original calling control gateway that accompanying drawing 1 is clear and definite.The original calling control gateway that the present invention proposes comprises following part:
The signaling process front end processor: Mobile Originated Gateway ' s Interworking/Gateway MSC (being called for short MOG IW/GMSC) is responsible for signaling process.Externally provide No. seven or other signaling method interfaces, be connected,, obtain short message from the mobile network with entity interaction such as MSC, HLR among the mobile network with the mobile network; Internally adopt inside story mechanism mutual with the gateway service processing module, the message that will need to handle by the support communication system is distributed to each gateway service processing module.Biconditional operation dimension module is controlled and parameter setting with the business that guarantees self alternately by the built-in function maintain message.MOG IW/GMSC of the present invention not only can support the Signaling System Number 7 of GSM network, also supports No. seven or other signaling methods of other networks.
Gateway service processing module: Mobile Originated Gateway ' s ServiceCenter (being called for short MOG SC) is the control and scheduling core of whole short message original calling control gateway.It accepts the message from the signaling process front end processor, submits to subsequent treatment module (gateway proxy module) by certain principle, and processing is submitted response to and returned and exhaled response to give the signaling process front end processor.The biconditional operation maintenance module keeps connecting reliably to guarantee that the corresponding operation in backstage can in time obtain handling.Service Processing Module can be a multimode, and each module realizes guaranteeing safe and reliable by the active and standby work of two-shipper.Two-shipper adopts active/standby mode work, the Business Processing of system and not interrupting of scheduling controlling have been guaranteed on the one hand, can realize the smooth upgrade of gateway service processing module on the other hand: during upgrading earlier with the standby host software upgrading, behind the masterslave switchover again with the original host edition upgrading.
Gateway proxy module: Mobile Originated Gateway ' s SMPP Agent (be called for short MOG Agent) is responsible for inserting each short message service center and safeguards with the connection status of each short message service center and give each gateway service processing module synchronously with this state table simultaneously, receives the gateway processes module and issues the SMPP agreement of the standard that is converted to after its inside story and submit to the short message service center that is attached thereto.The gateway proxy module is the core component of short message original calling control gateway and short message service center's communication, and its topmost function is as the positive connection between client maintenance and each short message service center.Which short message service center short message is submitted to and is then finished according to the data of operating maintenance module configuration by the gateway proxy module in addition.
Operating maintenance module: keep good communication with aforementioned each module, finish the task of the monitoring and the maintenance of system.Simultaneously can the parameter of other each modules be set and adjust the operational effect of other each modules by this module.
Accompanying drawing 2 the is clear and definite position of the present invention in mobile network.The short message original calling control that the present invention proposes comprises following process:
The network element of short message original calling control gateway as mobile network added in the mobile network, and switch plays all exhales short message to point to original calling control gateway.Original calling control gateway is as External Short Message Entity (Extenal Short Message Entity, abbreviation ESME) is linked into each short message service center, with the SMPP agreement call message is submitted to different short message service centers by certain distribution mechanisms (distribution method), short message service center issues the ESME processing of delivering or submit to other by normal short message after receiving message.Because all call messages are all walked short message original calling control gateway, the short message original calling control gateway number is set to short message service center's number that the cellphone subscriber uses always, and (with the domestic present operation situation of China is example, short message service center's number is traditionally arranged to be+8613M0XYZ500 or+8613M0XYZ900, M is the 0,1, the 3rd, network for China Unicom, be 5~9 for China Mobile's net, XYZ is the number that operator distributes various places, 500 is domestic short message service center sign, and 900 for bearing professional short message service center's number such as mobile banking, mobile security).Because gateway has only the forwarding of message, there is not the operation in the storehouse that reads and writes data, its performance will be the several times of short message service center and even (be generally 5~10 times) more than tens of times.According to such flow process, increase after a plurality of short message service centers the user and need not to change in original mobile phone and be provided with.And because short message original calling control gateway can be according to the mode of each short message service center disposal ability decision distribution, if used equipment is arranged like this, the disposal ability of used equipment will be fully utilized and not influence the use of new equipment.
The process of message conversion that accompanying drawing 3 is clear and definite.At first be that professional control process receives message.Judge according to pre-set mechanism whether message is legal.If the legal processing that enters next step, otherwise abandon message and return corresponding message for each module.
Next is the judgement of informed source, if submit to the message of short message original calling control gateway from short message service center, then message conversion module is that inside story is distributed to corresponding module (being generally one of gateway service processing module) and handles with this standard SMPP message conversion.Otherwise message is if submit to the message of short message service center by modules such as Business Processing by the gateway proxy module, and then message conversion module is made reverse process, inside story is converted to the SMPP agreement submits to corresponding short message service center.By this conversion, both guaranteed the standard criterion of external interface, make inner the transformation implement succinct easily row again, guaranteed the extensibility of system.
Fig. 4 has increased short message original calling control gateway short message original calling process afterwards.
1.~8. be the process of exhaling short message to deliver to short message service center by short message original calling control gateway.At first 1. step is submitted to the preposition module of short message original calling Signaling System Number 7 with message by the Signaling System Number 7 net.Step 2. short message original calling control gateway is converted to the Service Processing Module that inside story sends to short message original calling control gateway with message from the preposition gateway of Signaling System Number 7.Step 3. short message is submitted to the gateway proxy module by the mode of inside story by the Service Processing Module of original calling control gateway.Step 4. gateway proxy module is being judged Service Processing Module after which short message service center's processing is the message of its submission should issue, judge that earlier the state of link is (as on-off, professional sharing condition of short message service center that links to each other with its etc.) if link is unobstructed, short message is submitted to short message service center by the SMPP agreement.5. short message service center returns response message by step.6. the gateway proxy module feeds back to Service Processing Module in the inside story mode by step after receiving the submission success of the logical SMPP agreement feedback of short message service center or failure in the short message original calling control gateway.7. Service Processing Module feeds back to the Signaling System Number 7 processing module with inside story mechanism by step.The Signaling System Number 7 processing module is received behind the feedback message 8. to have returned by step with No. 7 signalling and is exhaled response message to give to exhale the user.
(1)~(2) is that short-message sending is received for called subscriber, called mobile phone to echo behind the short message and answered message to give short message service center under the short message service center, finishes the process of whole message dilivery.
Step (3)~(9) not necessarily.Just use when having had only the mobile phone of exhaling to need the delivery state report.Its step is as follows: rise and to exhale in the short message as need status report to be designated very, 4. short message original calling control gateway will require transmit status to respond when short message service center submits in step.Step (3) is that short message service center receives that exhaling the response back initiatively to pass through the SMPP agreement to the short message original calling gateway eventually initiates notification message.The short message original calling gateway is received to echo to short message service center by step (4) immediately after the message and is answered message.Step (5)~(9) with rise exhale short message by the step of short message original calling control gateway in the process that short message service center delivers 6., 7., 8., 1., 2. identical.
