Service capability server (SCS) terminated short message service (SMS) systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method of determining a routing associated with a short message, the method comprising:
- an SMS service center (SMS-SC) sending a first routing request to a home subscriber server (HSS), wherein the first routing request is associated with the short message;
the SMS-SC receiving a first routing reply from the HSS, wherein the first routing reply comprises one of an indication that the short message is associated with a service capability server (SCS) and a first control plane routing associated with the short message, wherein the first control plane routing comprises an identifier associated with an SCS serving node; and
the SMS-SC sending the short message to the SCS serving node, wherein the short message is sent to the SCS serving node using the received indication and the identifier associated with the SCS serving node.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are provided to determine routing associated with a short message. A SMS-SC may send a first routing request to a home subscriber server (HSS). The first routing request may be associated with the short message. The SMS-SC may receive a first routing reply. The first routing reply may include one of an indication that the short message is associated with a service capability server (SCS) or a first control plane routing associated with the short message. The SMS-SC may send the short message to an SCS serving node. The first routing reply may include the indication that the short message is associated with a service capability server (SCS). The SMS-SC may send a second routing request to a SCS subscription database. The SMS-SC may receive a second routing reply from the SCS subscription database, which may indicate a second control plane routing for the short message.
