Abstract

A method for processing a short message received at a mobile exchange in a cellular radio network, and a mobile exchange in a cellular radio system, including a short message deliver for delivering one short message at a time to a B subscriber; an operation controller for observing the operation of the B subscriber so as to detect the delivery of the short message and to prevent the delivery of another short message when the delivery of the preceding short message is in progress; a memory for storing rejected short messages; and a queue control responsive to the B-subscriber operation controller for reading the rejected short message from the memory so as to initiate the delivery of the short message to the B subscriber when the delivery of the preceding short message is completed.
