`
`Introduction
`The Short Message Service (SMS) provides a means of sending messages of limited size to and from GSM/UMTS
`mobiles. The provision of SMS makes use of a Service Centre, which acts as a store and forward centre for short
`messages. Thus a GSM/UMTS PLMN needs to support the transfer of short messages between Service Centres and
`mobiles.
`
`Mobile originated messages shall be transported from an MS to a Service Centre. These may be destined for other
`mobile users, or for subscribers on a fixed network. Mobile terminated messages shall be transported from a Service
`Centre to an MS. These may be input to the Service Centre by other mobile users (via a mobile originated short
`message) or by a variety of other sources, e.g. speech, telex, or facsimile.

`
`Scope
`1
`The present document describes the Short Message Service (SMS) for GSM/UMTS networks. It defines:
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`the services and service elements;
`
`the network architecture;
`
`the Service Centre functionality;
`
`the MSC functionality (with regard to the SMS);
`
`the SGSN functionality (with regard to the SMS);
`
`the routing requirements;
`
`the protocols and protocol layering;
`
`for the Teleservice Short Message Service, as specified in the GSM TS 02.03 [2] and 3G TS 22.105 [32].
`
`The use of radio resources for the transfer of short messages between the MS and the MSC or the SGSN is described in
`3G TS 24.011 [13] "Short Message Service Support on Mobile Radio Interface", and is dealt with in that specification.
`
`The network aspects of Short Message Service provision are outside the scope of the present document (i.e. the
`provision of network connectivity between the PLMN subsystems). There is no technical restriction within the present
`document for the transfer of short messages between different PLMN's. Any such restriction is likely to be subject to
`commercial arrangements and PLMN operators must make their own provision for interworking or for preventing
`interworking with other PLMN’s as they see fit.
`
`The required and assumed network service offered to the higher layers is defined in the present document.
