  2. Introduction

1 Introduction

This chapter provides a brief description of the Mobile Originated Short Message Service (MO SMS) features of the Oracle Communications EAGLE. The chapter also includes the scope, audience, and organization of the manual; how to find related publications; and how to contact Oracle for assistance.

Overview

This manual provides feature descriptions, along with commands, maintenance, measurements, and configuration details associated with the Mobile Originated Short Message Service (MO SMS) features of the Oracle Communications EAGLE. The MO SMS features allow wireless network operators to route Short Message Service ( SMS) messages within number portability environments for GSM, IS41, and IS41-to-GSM Migration.

Wireless operator SMSCs typically use the SMS destination subscriber address to route an SMS message. Information about whether the destination subscriber is within the operator's network or belongs to a foreign network, and about the network protocol to be used (GSM or IS41) is required to correctly route the SMS message. Before the implementation of number portability, operators could determine the destination subscriber's network by comparing the called party number against the predefined number ranges allocated to network operators. With number portability, the SMSC cannot make this determination based solely on the called party number.

The MO SMS features provide the routing information for the called subscriber to the SMSC, enabling the SMSC to correctly route the SMS message.

Refer to Database Administration - Global Title Translation User's Guide for information about MO SMS B-Party Routing (GSM and IS41) features and Prepaid SMS Intercept feature for GSM B-Party.
