System, method, and computer-readable medium for mobile-terminated SMS message delivery for a mobile station attached with an IP-femtocell system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a convergence server, a short message service delivery request message to a femtocell system; and
notifying, by the convergence server, a mobile core network of an acknowledgment or negative acknowledgement, regarding delivery of the short message, received by the convergence server; and
authenticating, by the femtocell system, validation of credentials of a mobile station when validation is required, wherein the mobile station is communicably coupled to the femtocell system and authenticating by the femtocell comprises;
determining if there is an active channel to the mobile station;
where there is no active channel to the mobile station;
sending a paging request from the femtocell to the mobile station;
receiving a paging response from the mobile station comprising authentication parameters; and
forwarding, by the femtocell, the paging response to the convergence server.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium that facilitates delivery of mobile-terminated short message service messages to a mobile station attached with a femtocell system are provided. A convergence server deployed in a core network receives a short message for short message service delivery to a mobile station attached with a femtocell system. If there is no active traffic channel with the mobile station, or if the short message is to be delivered to the mobile station via a paging channel, the femtocell system triggers an authentication process. The convergence server constructs a short message service delivery request message, transmits the short message service delivery request message to the femtocell system, and receives one of an acknowledgement and a negative acknowledgment regarding delivery of the short message to the mobile station. The convergence server thereafter notifies the message center of the acknowledgment or negative acknowledgement received thereby.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions tangibly embodied thereon that when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to:
-
transmit, by a convergence server, a short message service delivery request message to a femtocell system; and notify, by the convergence server, a mobile core network of an acknowledgment or negative acknowledgement, regarding delivery of a short message, received by the convergence server, wherein the femtocell system authenticates validation of credentials of a mobile station when validation is required, wherein the mobile station is communicably coupled to the femtocell system and authenticating by the femtocell comprises; determining if there is an active channel to the mobile station; where there is no active channel to the mobile station; sending a paging request from the femtocell to the mobile station; receiving a paging response from the mobile station comprising authentication parameters; and forwarding, by the femtocell, the paging response to the convergence server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a convergence server; a mobile core network that includes a message center; and an Internet Protocol-based femtocell system that provides a radio access point for a mobile station; wherein the femtocell system is configured to; attempt to transmit a short message to the mobile station by one of a traffic channel and a paging channel and to authenticate validation of credentials of the mobile station when validation is required, and notify the mobile core network of an acknowledgment or negative acknowledgement, regarding delivery of the short message, received by the convergence server; wherein an authentication by the femtocell comprises; a determination if there is an active channel to the mobile station; where there is no active channel to the mobile station; a paging request is sent from the femtocell to the mobile station; a paging response is received from the mobile station comprising authentication parameters; and the paging response being forwarded by the femtocell to the convergence server. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
