This page presents illustrative flows for the UE Reachability path.
Prior to this flow, an SMS delivery via IMS failed with a particular reason, and the IP-S-MGW has subscribed to receive UE Reachability for IP notifications. This path is where the HSS sends a Sh Push Notification Request indicating that the UE has attached to Packet Radio. The specific cases where the IP-SM-GW requests a UE Reachability for IP notification is described Requesting a UE Reachability for IP Notification.
For details related to the features involved refer to the Fetch IMSI and Ready For SM features.
