Method and system for routing of short messages in a telecommunication system
First Claim
1. A gateway for communicating short messages between a first mobile communication system and a second mobile communication system, comprising:
- a query returner configured to return an address of the gateway in response to a routing data query received from a first short message service center of the first mobile communication system, the routing data query associated with a short message to be routed to a subscriber of the second mobile communications system; and
a transformer configured to transform the short message from a first communication standard of the first mobile communication system to a second communication standard of the second mobile communication system for subsequent transmission of the short message to the subscriber of the second mobile communication system.

Abstract
A system for transmitting short messages between mobile communication systems includes a first mobile communication system which is based on a first mobile communication standard, a first short message service center connected to the first mobile communication system, a second mobile communication system based on a second mobile communication standard, a second short message service center connected to the second mobile communication system, a home location register connected to the second mobile communication system, a mobile services switching center connected to the second mobile communication system, and a gateway for communications with and between the first and second mobile communication system. In a method implementing this functionality a routing component sends to the gateway a routing data query addressed to a predetermined numerical space. The short message is transmitted to the gateway, based on the address received in response to the routing data query, for further transmission of the short message to the second mobile communication system.
