Abstract

La présente divulgation concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'optimiser un service de messagerie de passerelle de messages courts IP (IPSMGW), ledit procédé consistant à : recevoir une demande de service de messages courts (SMS) comprenant un ou plusieurs paramètres de demande de SMS ; initier une demande de portabilité de numéro mobile (MNP) associée au second utilisateur ; initier une demande de diamètre, la demande de diamètre étant au moins une demande de charge associée à la demande de SMS d'après au moins la demande de MNP ; initier une demande d'informations de routage d'envoi (SRI) d'après au moins la demande de diamètre ; recevoir des informations de routage d'après la réponse de SRI ; initier une demande de terminaison mobile (MT) associée à la demande de SMS d'après au moins les informations de routage ; distribuer un message SMS associé à la demande de SMS d'après l'initiation de la demande de terminaison mobile (MT) à partir de la ou des premières IPSMGW au moyen du protocole cible.
