Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to telecommunications systems. More particularly, the present invention is related to systems and methods for exchanging messages between disparate networks operating in accordance with different standards. Background of the Invention
- SMS short message service
- GSM PLMNs Public Land Mobile Networks
- SMS short message service
- the technology permits one network element in a GSM PLMN to talk to other network elements in another GSM PLMN for the purpose of exchanging SMS messages.
- SS7 or C7 network which interconnects many mobile (and non-mobile) network elements.
- SMS messaging a core component of the GSM standard, is also supported by TDMA and CDMA networks natively.
- ITU GSM networks interconnected via a C7 (ITU SS7) network and ANSI TDMA and CDMA networks connected to ANSI SS7 networks.
- ITU SS7 C7
- ANSI TDMA and CDMA networks connected to ANSI SS7 networks.
- the present invention provides improved connectivity by providing an Intermediary network solution whereby an Intermediary functions as a Virtual Carrier simulating many, if not all, of the necessary network element interfaces in each of the networks (GSM, TDMA, CDMA) to provide a sufficient framework for exchanging SMS messages among carriers operating in accordance with different standards.
- a Virtual Network provider in accordance with the present invention functions as a Virtual GSM carrier on a C7 network and a Virtual ANSI network carrier (TDMA or CDMA) on an ANSI SS7 network, effectively bridging the networks to enable the sending and receiving of SMS messages.
- the Intermediary functions as a Virtual carrier in one network and functions as a Relaying Intermediary for other networks for the purpose of exchanging SMS messages.
- FIG. 1 shows a GSM Network element model for SMS messages in accordance with the prior art.
- Fig.' 2 shows inter-PLMN connectivity for GSM SMS message

- SMSC Short Message Service Center
- VGW-MSC Virtual Gateway MSC VLR Visitor Location Register
- Fig. 1 shows a GSM Network element model for SMS messages.
- SMSC Short Message Service Center
- Inter-working MSC Inter-working MSC network element 110. SMSC 100 then forwards the message to its destination, whether it is an application or another subscriber unit.
- MSC Mobile Terminated messages
- all Mobile Terminated messages are delivered through an MSC to a mobile station through a Gateway MSC unit 120.
- an SMSC is not necessarily a network element directly connected to an SS7 network, although in practice an SMSC is typically built with a GMSC component and, in fact, often is directly connected to an SS7 network.
- the other elements shown in Fig. 1 are well-known to those skilled in the art.
- Network A can post SMS messages within its own network by querying its own HLR.
- the HLR then returns the appropriate MSC number and the SMSC through SMS-GMSC network element sends the SMS message to the appropriate MSC that is currently servicing the intended recipient the mobile subscriber.
- the SMSC of Network A For Inter-PLMN messages, the SMSC of Network A, for example, would access the HLR of Network B and obtain the MSC number (typically of Network B, if the mobile subscriber of Network B is not roaming) for posting messages directly to Network B's MSC.
- MSC number typically of Network B, if the mobile subscriber of Network B is not roaming
- Such an interchange is supported to the extent that both Network A and Network B implement GSM signaling standards, particularly GSM MAP layer for SMS message.. .
- Fig. 3 shows a model to receive SMS messages from a GSM network by an Intermediary for further transmission to ANSI carriers, in accordance with the present invention.
- the Intermediary (elements of which are identified by IXLR, IXRS and IX- SC) behaves like a GSM carrier for the purpose of receiving SMS message.
- the SMS message is received, as usual, by the home SMSC. That home SMSC then initiates a Send Routing Information (SRI) query over the SS7 (or C7) network.
- SRI Send Routing Information
- the intended recipient is serviced by an ANSI carrier, this SRI call usually fails because of incompatibility of GSM and ANSI SS7 networks.
- roaming messages may be exchanged between ANSI GSM and ITU GSM carriers, and substantially all other messages, including SMS messages, between ANSI TDMA/CDMA arid ITU GSM carriers are blocked.
- the present invention provides a routing table, called a Global Title Translation (GTT), which points all Send Routing Information messages destined for ANSI TDMA and CDMA networks towards a virtual carrier network employing a virtual HLR function (the IXLR in this case).
- GTT Global Title Translation
- the Virtual HLR is integrated with a set of databases and other routing information tables that identify all valid ANSI destinations to which the Intermediary is capable of sending SMS messages.
- IXLR Carrier Network's HLR
- SRI response with an ACK or appropriate error message depending upon whether the message is deliverable or not.
- FSM Forward Short Message
- the GTT routing table resolves the FSM routing in such a way that the Intermediary receives the message at its Virtual Gateway MSC (IXSC).
- IXSC Virtual Gateway MSC
- the IXSC may then forward the message to the destination carrier either through an IP protocol such as SMPP or through an SS7 link.
- CgPA e.l64SMSC.
- All MO messages are routed from the home SMSC.
- the GSM SMSC performs a MAP SRI call on the Virtual HLR provided by the present invention, namely the IXLR.
- the Virtual HLR preferably has an e.l64HLR address which is the telephone number of a mobile phone (TDMA or CDMA) owned by virtual network provider.
- All MAP messages destined to a TDMA or CDMA carrier in the US are preferably sent to the virtual network provider's gateway by an entity such as Teleglobe.
- a GSM SMSC sends a MAP SRI INFO message
- the message is addressed to the subscriber's e.164 number (MSISDN).
- MSISDN subscriber's e.164 number
- This STP after initial GTT activity, sends all +1 destined messages to Teleglobe's network (or ultimately to Teleglobe's network through an intermediary network). Teleglobe's STP then conducts a final GTT, that results in pointing such messages to DPC of the virtual network provider's (intermediary's) IXLR gateway.
- the SPC of IXLR is a "private" point code assigned by Teleglobe and the point code is known to the GTT database of Teleglobe's STP.
- the IXLR sends back a
- the MAP SRI ACK message with its own e.164 routing number.
- the CdPA is the e.164 address of SMSC from where the MAP SRI originated.
- the IXLR sends the message to Teleglobe's STP. Teleglobe STP performs a GTT on the e.164 number of the SMSC. If Teleglobe's STP does not have the DPC of the SMSC, Teleglobe preferably forwards the message to an SPC of another STP. Final GTT translation by an STP forwards the message to the appropriate SMSC.
- the ACK message contains an MSRN number that is the same as an encoded MSISDN number in e.164 format. This number is populated in the IMSI field.
- the IMSI field preferably contains a pseudo IMSI number used for several purposes including notification of the end carrier to the sending SMSC. More details regarding this and related features can be found in co-pending U.S. application no. 10/724,106, entitled “Virtual Carrier Addressing and Routing Techniques for Global SMS,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
- CdPA e.l64MSRN (e.l64MSISDN)
- ACK message is extracted and used by the SMSC to forward the short message.
- the called party address used is the MSRN number, the GTT of which should ultimately result in addressing the IXRS.
- Teleglobe's STP sends, during the final GTT stage, this message to the DPC of the IXRS.
- This message is transmitted from the IXRS (which acts as a virtual
- the message is addressed to the e.164 address of SMSC and the GTT ensures that the message is received by the SMSC sending the SMS message.
- This message is used to send a message from the Intermediary SMSC to an ANSI carrier's SMSC for terminating the short message.
- the terminating carrier's SMSC forwards the short message to the subscriber terminal.
- This message is the response message received from the terminating carrier's SMSC acknowledging or rejecting a short message submitted using SUBMIT SM message.
- Alternative call flows for ITU GSM carrier to ANSI carrier messaging are shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
- the mechanism depicted in Figure 5 has the advantage of ensuring reliable delivery of an SMS message between a home and a destination carrier's SMSC. More specifically, Fig. 5 shows an alternate embodiment of the invention, wherein, Intermediary SMSC (IXSC) forwards the message to an ANSI destination carrier's SMSC and waits for acknowledgement before returning a Forward Short Message (FSM) acknowledgement to the originating GSM carrier's SMSC.
- IXSC Intermediary SMSC
- FSM Forward Short Message
- FIG. 6 shows yet another alternate embodiment of invention, wherein the Intermediary SMSC (IXSC) forwards the message to an ANSI destination carrier's SMSC and waits for delivery receipt before returning a Forward Short Message acknowledgement to the originating GSM carrier's SMSC.
- IXSC Intermediary SMSC
- This alternate mechanism has the advantage of ensuring reliable delivery of SMS message between a home SMSC and a destination mobile subscriber unit.
- the timeouts in this message sequence may be of concern in a practical implementation of this embodiment although this sequence can be made to work if the delivery receipt is received within the time out period of the original Forward Short Message from the home SMSC to the Intermediary network.
- Fig. 7 shows a network model, in accordance with the present invention, for terminating messages into an ITU GSM Carrier network from an Intermediary network represented by an SME (Short Message Entity) in the Figure.
- An SMS message from an ANSI carrier is received by the SME by one of several means that include SMSC to SME delivery via SMPP or other equivalent protocols, or via SS7 delivery.
- the received message is then transmitted to the SMSC node (IX-SC) in the Intermediary network.
- IX-SC SMSC node
- Intermediary network implements a Virtual Gateway MSC (VGW-MSC) that is connected on one side to Intermediary SMSC (IX-SC) and on the other side to a C7 network.
- VGW-MSC Virtual Gateway MSC
- IX-SC Intermediary SMSC
- C7 C7 network
- the Virtual GW-MSC node Upon receipt of an SMS message from an ANSI carrier's home network, the Virtual GW-MSC node performs GTT route lookup on the destination GSM carrier's HLR and forwards the short message to the appropriate switch (MSC) based on the address information received back from destination carrier's HLR.
- the Intermediary behaves exactly like a GSM carrier and performs all the functions required as part of roaming guidelines prescribed by GSM Associations IR 21 document. Call flows depicting these transaction are shown in Figure 8. The role of the IXTS in this call flow emulates that of a GMSC as per GSM protocol standard.
- GTT is preferably performed on the destination MSISDN number at Teleglobe STP.
- the GTT translation will most probably result in a DPC of an intermediary STP that will again perform GTT.
- the final GTT translation results in the DPC of the HLR and message being delivered to the HLR.
- the HLR sends back a MAP SRI ACK message with its own e.164 routing number (since this is inter-PLMN messaging, the HLR uses its own e.164 number to allow for GTT).
- the CdPA is the e.164 address of the IXSC that can be routed by Teleglobe. Before the message gets to Teleglobe, a far end STP GTT translation may be performed, which should result in all +1 messages delivered to Teleglobe. Teleglobe will then route the message to the Intermediary using final GTT translation.
- the MSRN number returned by the MAP SRI ACK message is extracted and used by the IXTS to forward the short message.
- the called party address used is the MSRN number, the GTT of which should ultimately result in addressing the visited MSC.
- CgPA e.l64MSC (or e.l64MSRN?)
- This message is transmitted back from the visited MSC to the
- IXTS acting as virtual GMSC.
- the message is addressed to the e.164 address of the IXTS and the GTT path follows that of earlier reverse message flows reaching IXTS.
- Fig. 9 depicts an Intermediary Network System in accordance with the present invention.
- the Virtual Network in accordance with the present invention preferably comprises four major components, an IXSC, IXRS, IXTS and IXLR, the latter three components being integrated in an IXSG - intermediary SMS gateway.
- the IXSC is the intermediary service center, which controls the
- the IXSC is a logical node supporting simplified service center functionality. This functionality preferably includes: • Accepting short messages from the intermediary acting as an SME.
- the IXRS is the intermediary Receiving Station, which emulates functionality of an MSC. This is a logical node part of the IXSG. This node is responsible for receiving SMS messages and alerting the IXSC. The node also implements MSC functionality for the purpose of receiving SMS short messages. Specifically, the IXRS receives the message and terminates the GSM SMS message. The IXRS also communicates with the IXSC to send received SMS messages.
- the IXTS is the intennediary Transmitting Station, which emulates
- the IXLR is the intermediary Location Register, which functions as a virtual HLR that is used for supporting routing requests from far side entities. This node is logical part of IXSG gateway and implements limited HLR functionality to support routing information for MO SMS message delivery.
- MO message is sent from a subscriber unit (SU)
- the home SMSC receives the message.
- the Home SMSC queries the IXLR to get routing information.
- the SMSC then sends the message to IXRS node.
- the IXLR is preferably configured to have a single point code so that SMSCs "see" a single entity from which to obtain routing information.
- the intermediary as described herein, is not necessarily a full fledged carrier (and in the preferred implementation, is not) and therefore does not "own" any phone numbers.
- the intermediary preferably uses its existing landline or mobile phone numbers. Typically, landline phone numbers are preferable to make sure that there is no clash with mobile messaging.
- GSM International Mobile Subscriber Identity QMSD Number is not necessarily a full fledged carrier (and in the preferred implementation, is not) and therefore does not "own" any phone numbers.
- the intermediary preferably uses its existing landline or mobile phone numbers. Typically, landline phone numbers are preferable to make sure that there is no clash with mobile messaging.
- an encoded MSISDN number in e.164 format or pseudo IMSI numbers are allocated out of a pool within the Intermediary network, in accordance with the present invention.
- An IMSI number thus coded is routable using GTT for facilitating message routing from an ITU GSM carrier to an intermediary simulating GSM interfaces using pseudo IMSI numbers.
