Abstract

The application provides a short message processing method, device, and system. The short message processing method comprises: a service unit transmits, to an IMS unit, a message to be transmitted, and the IMS unit queries for route information and status information of a receiver of the message to be transmitted, and transmits, when a status of the receiver indicates that the receiver is available, to the receiver, the message to be transmitted. The IMS unit completes access to a route status unit, and packaging and transmission of a message, without requiring the service unit to execute processes specific to short message processing in an IMS domain. The service unit can process, directly based on the short message processing scheme adopted in a CS domain, a short message in the IMS domain. Therefore, it is not required to make a significant change to the service unit, reducing financial costs of making a change to a conventional network, and optimizing resource allocation. Further, because it is not required to change the service unit, the short message processing method in the embodiment does not affect use of the short message service employed in the CS domain in the conventional network, reducing the risk of making changes to the conventional network.

Description

Short message processing method, device and system

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, for example, to a short message processing method, apparatus, and system.

Background technique

The CS (Circuit Switched Domain) short message service is a widely used service. However, with the advent of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), it is necessary to solve the problem of short message transmission and reception in the case of coexistence of traditional SMS and IMS domain short messages.

The IP Short Message Gateway (IP-SM-GW) is introduced in the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) specification as a short message gateway between the IMS domain and the CS domain, and the IMS domain user sends the message to the CS domain user. When SMS (Short Message Service), the message is forwarded to the SMSC (Short Message Service Center) through the IP-SM-GW, and the message is sent by the SMSC; when the CS domain user sends the message to the IMS domain user. In the case of SMS, the message is sent by the SMSC to the IP-SM-GW, and then the IMS domain message is delivered by the IP-SM-GW.

The 3GPP2 specification introduces a Short Message Gateway (Short Message Gateway) as a store-and-forward service gateway for sending and receiving short messages in the IMS domain and the CS domain. The specification refers to the integration of SMS-GW and SMSC and the separate deployment of SMS-GW and SMSC, and gives an implementation description of the scheme of SMS-GW and SMSC fusion. The 3GPP2 convergence scheme directly implements IMS domain message reception and delivery in the SMS-GW/SMSC, enabling the SMS-GW/SMSC to simultaneously complete the IMS domain user and the IMS domain user, the IMS domain user and the CS domain user, and the CS domain. Receive, store, and forward messages between users and CS domain users.

Since the processing of the IMS domain short message is very different from the processing of the CS domain short message, the scheme of the SMS-GW and the SMSC proposed in the 3GPP2 needs to be greatly modified on the service unit in the existing network SMSC. This will bring great problems to the operation.

detailed description

The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1:

The message processing system for the CS domain short message in the related art is shown in FIG. 1:

The processing system for the CS domain short message only includes the short message service center SMSC 10 and the Home Location Register (HLR) 12 and the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 14. The home location register 12 is the primary database that stores permanent user information in the mobile network. The home location register 12 is an integrated component of communication systems such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), which contain associated user information such as routing addresses, account status, and preferences. . The home location register 12 and the mobile switching center 14 can communicate with each other. The mobile switching center 14 can also be used as an information intervention point for a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

The short message service center 10 includes a short message database 101, a service unit 102, and a MAP unit 103. The short message database 101 is configured to store a message to be transmitted in the CS domain, a user-issued queue, a timing queue, and the like. When the short message database 101 contains a plurality of messages to be transmitted, the short message is sent to each user in what order. The timing policy is to send a short message according to the time. For example, after the short message is sent, the message may be added to the timing queue, and the short message is sent again after the time of the timed queue arrives. The service unit 102 can be configured to interface with the MAP unit 103, and send and receive the CS domain short message delivered by the MAP unit 103, while controlling the storage, transmission, etc. of the short message. The MAP unit 103 is connected to the CS network and sends the CS from the service unit 102. The short message received by the domain user also receives the control of the service unit 102 to request the routing address information of the CS domain user from the home location register 12, and delivers the sending message to the user of the CS domain according to the obtained routing address information.

On the basis of the above, according to the convergence scheme proposed in 3GPP2, to process the CS domain and the IMS domain short message in the message processing system of the same short message, the service unit needs to be greatly improved because the IMS domain short message The processing method is very different from the processing method of CS domain short messages. For example, for the delivery of the CS domain short message, only the home location register needs to be accessed to obtain the routing address information of the message receiving end, but the IMS domain short message is different. When the IMS domain short message is delivered, the routing information needs to be queried and received. Status information of the terminal, if the state of the receiving end is available, it can be delivered to it; if the state of the receiving end is not available, it will not be delivered.

Therefore, the business unit 102 has been improved in the related art, as shown in FIG. 2, after the improvement of the business unit 102 can access the distributed memory 104 or the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 16, and the distributed memory 104 and the home subscriber server 16 function similarly to the home location register 12, but are stored in the home location register 12. The routing information of each user in the CS domain, and the routing information and status information of the IMS domain user stored in the distributed memory 104 and the home subscription subscriber server 16. After the service unit 102 is improved, the service unit 102 can not only process the short message of the CS domain, but also obtain the status information and routing information of the IMS domain user by accessing the distributed memory 104 or the home subscription user server 16 to the IMS domain. The short message is encapsulated, and the sending of the IMS domain short message is implemented via the SCSCF18.

In order to realize the short message processing system shown in FIG. 2, a large number of transformations are needed on the service units in the SMSC in the existing network, and the devices of the short message service center in the existing network are relatively old, and the engineering amount is relatively large, and It is very likely that the modified relationship affects the normal sending and receiving of short messages in the CS domain, thereby reducing the user experience of CS domain users.

In order to solve the technical problem that the convergence process of the CS domain short message and the IMS domain short message in the related art needs to be greatly modified, the present embodiment provides a short message processing method, please refer to image 3:

S302. The IMS unit receives the to-be-transmitted message delivered by the service unit.

When a short message needs to be delivered to a user of the IMS domain, the service unit does not directly perform the delivery work, but controls the IMS unit to perform the delivery. First, the service unit sends the information to be delivered to the IMS unit. It can be understood that the service unit only transmits the message that needs to be delivered to the IMS domain user to the IMS unit, that is, the receiving end of the message to be transmitted is the IMS domain. User.

The to-be-transmitted message delivered by the service unit to the IMS unit includes at least the identifier information of the message receiving end, and the identifier information may be information that uniquely identifies the identity of the receiving end, such as a telephone number, or other number assigned by the operator.

S304. The IMS unit accesses the routing state unit, and determines routing information of the receiving end according to the identifier information of the receiving end.

The IMS unit queries the routing information of the receiving end in the routing state unit according to the identification information in the information to be transmitted. Because the user of the IMS domain must ensure that the state is available when sending and receiving short messages, the IMS unit also queries the routing state unit for the state information of the receiving end according to the identification information in the information to be transmitted to ensure that the state of the receiving end is available.

The routing status unit may be at least one of distributed memory disposed in the SMSC or a home subscriber server HSS disposed outside the SMSC. If the operator does not set distributed memory in the SMSC, the registration information of the IMS domain user may be stored in the home subscription subscriber server HSS. In the above two modes, the IMS unit only accesses one of the distributed memory and the home subscription subscriber server HSS, but this embodiment also provides another example, in which the IMS unit can access the distributed memory first. The routing information and status information of the user are obtained. If the routing information and status information of the receiving end cannot be obtained in the distributed memory, the IMS unit can access the home subscriber server HSS.

For a user of the IMS domain, if a short message is to be sent to it, it is necessary to ensure that the state of the user is available, for example, the user is online. It can be understood that before the IMS unit accesses the routing state unit and determines the routing information and status information of the receiving end according to the identification information of the receiving end included in the message to be transmitted, the registration request of the to-be-transmitted person should also be received, and the IMS unit will request the registration. Performing a decoding process, and then initiating a registration information update request to the routing state unit, where the registration information includes routing information and status information of the receiving end. After the routing status unit updates the status information and the routing information of the receiving end according to the registration information update request sent by the IMS unit, the response information is sent to the IMS unit. After receiving the response information, the IMS unit sends a response message to the receiving end to notify the receiving end that the registration information has been updated successfully. At the same time, the IMS unit also sends a status availability notification to the service unit to notify the service unit that the status of the receiving end is available, and the short message can be delivered.

S306. The IMS unit encapsulates the to-be-transmitted message and delivers the to-be-transmitted message to the receiving end according to the routing information.

After the IMS unit obtains the status information of the receiving end, it sends feedback to the service unit, and the service unit receives the status information fed back by the IMS unit. If the status of the receiving end is found to be available, the IMS unit may send an instruction to the IMS unit to control the IMS unit to the receiving end. The message to be transmitted is sent. At this time, the IMS unit can encapsulate the message to be transmitted delivered by the service unit.

The IMS unit sends the encapsulated message to be transmitted to the receiving end through a Serving Call Session Control Function (SCSCF).

After receiving the message to be transmitted, the receiving end usually feeds back two response messages to the IMS unit through the SCSCF. One response message is a response message of the SIP layer, indicating that the receiving end has received the message to be transmitted, and then the service layer passes. The SCSCF feeds back a response message to the IMS, and the response message It is used to characterize whether the short message received by the receiving end is normal, such as whether it can be read normally. After receiving the response message, the IMS unit will deliver the response message to the service unit, and the service unit will perform subsequent processing on the response message. For example, the returned response message indicates that the receiving end has received the information to be transmitted, but cannot read and display the message normally. To transmit information, the service unit may need to add the to-be-transmitted message to the timing queue according to the response message for re-delivery.

In this embodiment, the IMS unit can also receive the message to be transmitted sent by the IMS domain user. Of course, the to-be-transmitted message delivered by the IMS domain user to the IMS unit is an IMS domain short message. After the IMS unit receives the message to be transmitted, Decoding the processed message, and then transmitting the received message after the decoding process to the service unit, and the service unit stores the message to be transmitted to the short message database, and then extracts the message to be transmitted from the time when the message is to be delivered. The IMS unit transmits.

It can be understood that the user of the CS domain may need to send a short message to the user of the IMS domain. Therefore, in this embodiment, the service unit also receives the to-be-transmitted message sent by the user of the CS domain through the MAP unit. The MAP unit decodes the message to be transmitted after receiving the message, and then transmits the message to be transmitted to the service unit, and the service unit stores the message to be transmitted to the short message database.

If the service unit receives the message to be transmitted from the CS domain, it sends a response message to the MAP unit. After receiving the response message, the MAP unit directly sends the response message to the sending end of the message to be transmitted, so that the sending end knows that the message is to be transmitted. The transmitted message has been delivered successfully. If the service unit receives the message to be transmitted from the IMS domain, the service unit sends a response message to the IMS unit, and after receiving the response message, the IMS unit processes the response message to construct a new response message to be new via the SCSCF. A response message is sent to the sender of the message to be transmitted. The reason why the IMS unit needs to reconstruct the response message after receiving the response message, but the MAP unit does not need to reconstruct the response message because in the IMS domain, between the IMS unit and the SCSCF and the user of the IMS domain. It communicates through the SIP protocol, but the traditional CS domain does not communicate through the SIP protocol. In order to avoid major modifications to the service unit, even the information sent to the IMS unit is the same as the response message sent to the MAP unit.

The user of the IMS domain may send a short message to the user of the CS domain, and the user of the CS domain may also send a short message to the user of the CS domain. Therefore, the short message processing method provided by the embodiment can be controlled by the service unit. The MAP unit posts a short message to the user of the CS domain:

First, the service unit sends a route query request to the MAP, and the route query request includes the to-be-transmitted The identification information of the receiving end of the message, the MAP unit initiates access to the home location register according to the identifier information of the receiving end in the received request, obtains the routing information of the receiving end from the home location register, and then feeds the routing information to the service unit, and the service unit The MAP unit sends a message to the receiving end, and the MAP unit sends the message to be transmitted to the receiving end through the MSC. In addition, after receiving the message to be transmitted, the receiving end of the CS domain sends a response message to the MAP unit through the MSC. After receiving the response message, the MSC transmits the response message to the service unit, and causes the service unit to perform subsequent processing on the response message. For example, the returned response message indicates that the receiving end does not normally read and display the to-be-transmitted information, but the service unit may need to add the to-be-transmitted message to the timing queue according to the response message for re-delivery.

The short message processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by adding an IMS unit in the SMSC, completing the access of the routing state unit, encapsulating and transmitting the message, and the like by the IMS unit, does not require the service unit to perform the specific process of the short message processing of the IMS domain. The service unit can directly process the short message of the IMS domain according to the SMS processing scheme of the CS domain. Therefore, the service unit in the existing network does not need to be greatly improved, the capital cost for transforming the existing network is reduced, and the resource is optimized. In addition, the short message processing method in this embodiment does not affect the use of the CS domain short message service in the current network, and reduces the risk of improving the existing network.

Embodiment 2:

This embodiment provides a short message processing apparatus. Referring to FIG. 4, the short message processing apparatus 40 includes an IMS unit 105 and a service unit 102.

When a short message needs to be delivered to a user of the IMS domain, the service unit 102 does not directly perform the delivery work, but controls the IMS unit 105 to perform the delivery. First, the service unit 102 sends the information to be delivered to the IMS unit 105. It can be understood that the service unit 102 only transmits the message that needs to be delivered to the IMS domain user to the IMS unit 105, that is, the reception of the message to be transmitted here. The user is the IMS domain.

The message to be transmitted transmitted by the service unit 102 to the IMS unit 105 includes at least the identification information of the message receiving end, and the identification information may be information that uniquely identifies the identity of the receiving end, such as a telephone number, or other number assigned by the operator.

The IMS unit 105 accesses the routing status unit and determines routing information and status information of the receiving end according to the identification information of the receiving end included in the message to be transmitted.

The IMS unit 105 queries the routing state unit for routing information and status information in the routing state unit according to the identification information in the information to be transmitted. The routing status unit may be at least one of distributed memory disposed in the SMSC or a home subscriber server HSS disposed outside the SMSC. If the operator does not set distributed memory in the SMSC, the registration information of the IMS domain user may be stored in the home subscription subscriber server HSS. In the above two modes, the IMS unit 105 only accesses one of the distributed memory and the home subscription subscriber server HSS, but this embodiment also provides another example, in which the IMS unit 105 can access the distributed first. The memory is used to obtain routing information and status information of the user. If the routing information and status information of the receiving end cannot be obtained in the distributed memory, the IMS unit 105 can access the home subscriber server HSS.

For a user of the IMS domain, if a short message is to be sent to it, it is necessary to ensure that the state of the user is available, for example, the user is online. It can be understood that before the IMS unit 105 accesses the routing state unit and determines the routing information and status information of the receiving end according to the identification information of the receiving end included in the message to be transmitted, the IMS unit 105 should also receive the registration request of the to-be-transmitted person. The registration request is subjected to decoding processing, and then a registration information update request is initiated to the routing status unit, and the registration information includes routing information and status information of the receiving end. After the routing status unit updates the status information and routing information of the receiving end according to the registration information update request sent by the IMS unit 105, the response information is sent to the IMS unit 105. After receiving the response information, the IMS unit 105 sends a response message to the receiving end to notify the receiving end that the registration information has been updated successfully. At the same time, the IMS unit 105 also sends a status availability notification to the service unit 102 to notify the service unit 102 that the status of the receiving end is available, and can send a short message.

After the IMS unit 105 obtains the status information of the receiving end, it will feed back to the service unit 102, and the service unit 102 receives the status information fed back by the IMS unit 105. If the status of the receiving end is found to be available, the IMS unit 105 can send an instruction to the IMS unit 105 to control. The IMS unit 105 sends a message to be transmitted to the receiving end. At this time, the IMS unit 105 can encapsulate the message to be transmitted delivered by the service unit 102.

The IMS unit 105 delivers the encapsulated message to be transmitted to the receiving end according to the routing information. For example, the IMS unit 105 sends the encapsulated message to be transmitted to the receiving end through an SCSCF (Serving Call Session Control Function).

After receiving the message to be transmitted, the receiving end usually feeds back two response messages to the IMS unit 105 through the SCSCF. One response message is a response message of the SIP layer, indicating that the receiving end has received the waiting message. After the message is transmitted, the service layer also feeds back a response message to the IMS through the SCSCF. The response message is used to indicate whether the short message received by the receiving end is normal, for example, whether it can be read normally. After receiving the response message, the IMS unit 105 will deliver the response message to the service unit 102, and the service unit 102 will perform subsequent processing on the response message. For example, the returned response message indicates that the receiving end has received the information to be transmitted but cannot read normally. And displaying the information to be transmitted, the service unit 102 may need to add the message to be transmitted to the timing queue according to the response message, so as to perform re-delivery.

In this embodiment, the IMS unit 105 can also receive the message to be transmitted sent by the IMS domain user. Of course, the message to be transmitted that is transmitted by the IMS domain user to the IMS unit 105 is an IMS domain short message, and when the IMS unit 105 receives the to-be-transmitted message. After the message, the transmission message is decoded, and then the received message is transmitted to the service unit 102, and the service unit 102 stores the message to be transmitted to the short message database, and then extracts it from the time when it is to be delivered. The to-be-transmitted message is transmitted by the IMS unit 105 as a message to be transmitted.

It can be understood that the user of the CS domain may need to send a short message to the user of the IMS domain. Therefore, referring to FIG. 5, the short message processing apparatus provided in this embodiment further includes a MAP unit 103, and the MAP unit 103 is configured to be a service. The unit 102 also receives the message to be transmitted sent by the user of the CS domain through the MAP unit 103. The MAP unit 103 performs a decoding process on the message to be transmitted after receiving the message, and then transmits the message to be transmitted to the service unit 102, and the message to be transmitted is stored by the service unit 102 to the short message database.

If the service unit 102 receives the message to be transmitted from the CS domain, it sends a response message to the MAP unit 103. After receiving the response message, the MAP unit 103 directly sends the response message to the sender of the message to be transmitted, so that the sender understands The message to be transmitted has been successfully delivered. If the service unit 102 receives the message to be transmitted from the IMS domain, the service unit 102 sends a response message to the IMS unit 105. After receiving the response message, the IMS unit 105 processes the response message to construct a new response message. The SCSCF sends a new response message to the sender of the message to be transmitted. The IMS unit 105 needs to reconstruct the response message after receiving the response message, but the MAP unit 103 does not need to reconstruct the response message because in the IMS domain, the IMS unit 105 and the SCSCF also have the IMS domain. Users communicate with each other through the SIP protocol, but the traditional CS domain does not communicate via the SIP protocol. In order to avoid major modifications to the service unit 102, even the information sent to the IMS unit 105 is the same as the response message sent to the MAP unit 103.

The user of the IMS domain may send a short message to the user of the CS domain, and the user of the CS domain may also send a short message to the user of the CS domain. Therefore, the short message processing method provided by the embodiment may be used by the service unit 102. The control MAP unit 103 posts a short message to the user of the CS domain:

First, the service unit 102 sends a route query request to the MAP, where the route query request includes the identifier information of the receiving end of the message to be transmitted, and the MAP unit 103 initiates access to the home location register according to the identifier information of the receiving end in the received request, from the attribution. The routing information of the receiving end is obtained in the location register, and then the routing information is fed back to the service unit 102. The service unit 102 sends a message to the MAP unit 103, and the MAP unit 103 sends the message to be transmitted to the receiving end through the MSC. In addition, after receiving the message to be transmitted, the receiving end of the CS domain sends a response message to the MAP unit 103 through the MSC. After receiving the response message, the MSC transmits the response message to the service unit 102, and causes the service unit 102 to perform the response message. Follow-up processing. For example, the returned response message indicates that the receiving end does not normally read and display the to-be-transmitted information, but the service unit 102 may need to add the to-be-transmitted message to the timing queue according to the response message, so as to perform re-delivery. .

The short message processing system provided in this embodiment includes a routing state unit, a service type call session control function network element, and a short message processing device as described above. The routing status unit may be at least one of a distributed memory and a home subscription subscriber server.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is an example of a short message processing system provided by this embodiment. Like the short message processing system shown in FIG. 2, it includes a short message service center 10, a home location register 12, and a mobile switching center. 14. The SCSCF 18 and the home subscriber network server 16. However, unlike the short message processing system shown in FIG. 2, in FIG. 6, the IMS unit 105 is added to the short message service center, the service unit 102 interacts with the IMS unit, and the service unit 102 is from the short message database 101. The message to be transmitted is extracted, and the IMS unit 105 is controlled to access the distributed memory 104 or the home subscription subscriber server 16 acquires routing information and status information of the receiving end of the message to be transmitted, and then sends the message to be transmitted to the receiving end via the SCSCF 18. At the same time, the IMS unit 105 also receives the message to be transmitted sent by the IMS domain user through the SCSCF 18, and then the IMS unit 105 transmits the message to be transmitted to the service unit 102, and causes the service unit 102 to process the message to be transmitted.

On the other hand, the service unit 102 can also extract the to-be-transmitted message sent to the CS domain user from the short message database, and then control the MAP unit 103 to access the home location balance 12, obtain the routing information of the message receiving end to be transmitted, and then perform the mobile switching. The center 14 sends the message to be transmitted to the user of the CS domain. At the same time, the MAP unit 103 receives the to-be-transmitted message sent by the CS domain user from the mobile switching center 14. After the message is decoded, the MAP unit 103 transmits the to-be-transmitted message to the service unit 102, which is to be served by the service unit 102. The transmission message is stored in the short message database 101.

In this embodiment, the short message processing device 40 can be deployed on different servers, where the service unit and the IMS unit are set on two servers as an example: the service unit 102 can pass the first processor of the first server. And the first communication device is implemented, the function of the IMS unit can be implemented by the second processor of the second server and the second communication device. When the second communication device receives the IMS short message sent by the user, the second communication device passes the server. The internal input/output bus transmits the IMS short message to the second processor, and the second processor decodes the short message, and then transmits the decoded IMS short message to the first server through the communication device. After receiving the IMS short message, the first communication device stores it in the memory. When the IMS short message needs to be sent, the first processor extracts the IMS short message from the memory, and then transmits the IMS short message to the second server by using the first communication device.
