Abstract:
A method for optimized short message service (SMS)-based Internet of things (IoT) device triggering. One method includes receiving, at a machine type communications interworking function (MTC-IWF), a request for sending a trigger message to an IoT device. The method further includes generating, at the MTC-IWF, an SMS message for triggering the IoT device. The method further includes identifying a serving node for the IoT device. The method further includes transmitting, by the MTC-IWF, the SMS message to the serving node for the IoT device and thereby bypassing an SMS-service center. The method further includes receiving, by the MTC-IWF, from the serving node, and in response to successful delivery of the SMS message to the IoT device, confirmation of delivery of the SMS message.

Claim (Index 11):
A system for optimized short message service (SMS)-based Internet of things (IoT) device triggering, the system comprising:\n a machine type communications interworking function (MTC-IWF) device including at least one processor; and an IoT device trigger message generator comprising a component of the MTC-IWF implemented by the at least one processor for receiving a request for sending a trigger message to an IoT device, generating an SMS message for triggering the IoT device, identifying a serving node for the IoT device, transmitting the SMS message directly from the MTC-IWF to the serving node for the IoT device using an S6a/d or mobile application part (MAP) interface and without using any short message service centers, and receiving, from the serving node and in response to successful delivery of the SMS message to the IoT device, confirmation of delivery of the SMS message, wherein the MTC-IWF is configured to, in response to failure of delivery of the SMS message: buffer the SMS message;\n subscribe to receive notification of availability of the IoT device; and \n receive an indication of availability of the IoT device, and, in response, re-attempt delivery of the SMS message.
