Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling Short Message Service (SMS) delivery to a User Equipment (UE) over a Packet-Switched (PS) network without involvement of any Circuit Switched (CS) network node are provided. The method includes receiving subscriber information of a terminal from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), determining whether the MME supports short message delivery over a Packet-Switched (PS) network, and transmitting, when the MME supports the short message delivery over the PS network, a registration request message including information for routing the short message to the MME to the HSS. The SMS delivery method and apparatus is capable of delivering the SMS message to the UE over the PS network without involvement of the CS network nodes, thereby negating the necessity of CS network nodes for supporting SMS service, resulting in reduction of maintenance and management costs.

Claim (Index 16):
A home subscriber server (HSS) comprising:\n a transceiver; and a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:\n receive, from a mobility management entity (MME), information on an address of the MME for short message service (SMS) routing in case that the MME is enabled to use SMS without a mobile switching center (MSC), \n transmit, to the MME, subscriber information including information indicating that the terminal is limited to packet switched (PS) domain services and to SMS, \n receive, from an SMS gateway, information for SMS routing for the terminal, and \n transmit, to the SMS gateway, information on the MME to which SMS for the terminal is routed.
