A short message gateway comprises a gateway function (SMGF) and programs in an HLR or a home network (IMT-2000). It does not have any physical impact on a foreign (PDC) network, and it converts short messages communicated between the home and foreign networks. The gateway function (SMGF) primarily inter-operates with an HLR and an SMSC of the home network, the GMSC providing the link to the foreign network. The gateway allows communication in a wide variety of scenarios for communication with subscribers in the home and foreign networks and roaming subscribers from one to the other. |
