Methods and systems for triggerless screening of wireless message service messages for delivery with differential quality of service
First Claim
1. A method for routing wireless message service (WMS) messages in a communications network with a desired quality of service (QoS), the method comprising:
- (a) receiving an WMS message including mobile subscriber originating and destination party identification information;
(b) determining, based on at least one of the originating and destination party identification information, a QoS associated with the message; and
(c) routing the message to its intended destination with the indicated QoS.

Abstract
Methods and systems for triggerless screening of WMS messages for delivery with differential quality of service (QoS) are disclosed. Signaling messages are screened to determine whether they contain WMS content. In response to determining that a message contains WMS content, origination and/or destination party information is extracted from the WMS message to determine the QoS associated with the WMS message. The WMS message is then modified to include routing information for delivering the SMS messages to their intended destinations with different qualities of service.

23. A system for routing wireless message service (WMS) messages in a communications network with a desired quality of service (QoS), the system comprising:
-
(a) a communications module for sending and receiving WMS messages, each message including a mobile subscriber identifier; and
(b) a WMS quality of service identifier operatively associated with the communications module for determining, based on the mobile subscriber identifier, a QoS associated with the message and for modifying the message to include routing information for providing the indicated QoS for the message; and
(c) a routing module operatively associated with the WMS QoS identifier for forwarding the message to its intended destination based on the routing information. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A module for identifying the quality of service (QoS) to be given to wireless message service (WMS) messages and for modifying the messages for delivery with the indicated QoS, the module comprising:
-
(a) a WMS message identifier for identifying messages containing WMS content;
(b) a WMS QoS identifier for receiving the messages from the WMS message identifier that contain the WMS content, for identifying the quality of service to be given to each message, and for modifying each message for delivery with the indicated QoS; and
(c) a routing module for forwarding the WMS messages to their intended destinations. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
