Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method of routing a short message to a user. According to the method, an SMSC sends a routing request to a HLR or HSS of the terminating user. The HLR or HSS has static provisioning settings for users and relays the request according to these settings. The HLR or HSS relays the request to the IP-SM-GW, which dynamically determines if the terminating user has attached to an IMS network and accordingly decides on onward routing of the message over circuit switched or IMS network elements. The present disclosure also provides a mobile network apparatus that is configured to perform the method.
