Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a conversion system implemented between a web application and a packet-switched network, the conversion system comprising: an interface configured to receive a RESTful send operation for sending a Mobile Terminated (MT) text message from the web application to a recipient; and a controller configured to convert the RESTful send operation for the MT text message to a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request that encapsulates MAP-Relay Protocol (RP) data, to extract address data and an SMS body for the MT text message from the RESTful send operation, to map the address data to a MAP RP-Originating-Address field and a MAP RP-Destination-Address field of the first SIP request, and to map the SMS body for the MT text message to a MAP TP-User Data field of a Transfer Protocol Data Unit (TPDU) contained in a MAP RP-User-Data field of the first SIP request; the interface is configured to transmit the first SIP request for the MT text message to the packet-switched network for delivery of the MT text message to the recipient; the interface is configured to receive a second SIP request from the packet-switched network indicating a delivery status for the MT text message, wherein the second SIP request encapsulates the MAP-RP data; the controller is configured to convert the second SIP request to a RESTful status operation, to parse the MAP TP-User Data field of the TPDU contained in the MAP RP-User-Data field of the second SIP request to identify a delivery status of the MT text message to the recipient, and to encapsulate the delivery status of the MT text message in the RESTful status operation; and the interface is configured to transmit the RESTful status operation to the web application.
