Statistics
IPSMGWPSDelivery statistics are tracked by the sentinel.ipsmgw SBB
and can be found under the following parameter set in REM:
SLEE-Usage → sentinel.ipsmgw service → sentinel.ipsmgw SBB → feature → IPSMGWPSDelivery
or with rhino-stats:
"SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=sentinel.ipsmgw,vendor=OpenCloud,version=3.0.0].SbbID[name=sentinel.ipsmgw,vendor=OpenCloud,version=3.0.0].feature.IPSMGWPSDelivery"

Configuration
The IPSMGWPSDelivery feature configuration is scoped according to a Sentinel Selection Key. The IPSMGWPSDelivery feature refers to three Profile Tables for configuration.
The first Profile Table is Shared Configuration Profile. The following attributes are used:
| Attributes | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
ICSCFURI |
String |
The I-CSCF SIP URI that will be used to route outbound SIP MESSAGE requests (see SIP Transports and Routing) |
SipTransport |
String |
The SIP transport for the IPSMGW’s own SIP URI, used in the |
SubscribeToUEReachabilityForIP |
Boolean |
If true, request UEReachabilityForIP notifications from the HSS on certain PS Delivery failures. |
DeliveryOrder |
Enum |
If CS Delivery will run after PS Delivery, there is no need to send error report to SMSC on PS delivery failure |
UseMsisdnAsHlrAddress |
Boolean |
Controls whether to address the outbound HLR leg using a GT address formed from the subscriber MSISDN, instead of using the configured |
ChargingOptions |
String[] |
If this array contains the value |
SuppressHLRInteraction |
boolean |
If true, no MAP messages will be sent to the HLR. Can only be set to true when DeliveryOrder is PS_ONLY. For more information, refer to Suppression of HLR Interaction |
The second Profile Table is IPSMGWPSDeliveryConfigProfileTable. The following attributes are used:
| Attributes | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
FallbackTimer |
int |
Time in milliseconds to wait for a response during PS Delivery before setting 'PSDeliveryStatus' to FAILED |
RPErrorFallbackAvoidanceCodes |
int[] |
A list of error codes that if matched from the RP-ERROR will stop a CS fallback |
The third Profile Table (IPSMGWPSDeliveryPerNodeURIConfigTable) holds node-specific feature configuration. The following attributes are used:
| Attributes | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
NodeURI |
String |
The SIP Local URI for this node to use when sending the MESSAGE |
MAP Application Contexts
The feature can be triggered by any of the following MAP Application Contexts:
shortMsgMT_RelayContext_v3_ac
shortMsgMT_RelayContext_v2_ac
shortMsgMT_RelayContext_v1_ac
Behaviour
The feature is triggered upon receipt of a mt_ForwardSM in any of the above three MAP Application Contexts.
After validating configuration and session state inputs, it then takes the ForwardSM argument and creates an RpDATA that it can send in a SIP MESSAGE to the ICSCF
The SIP MESSAGE is created as follows:
If a short message is received from the SMS-GMSC, the IP-SM-GW shall extract the IMSI of the SM-over-IP receiver from the received message. Then the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP MESSAGE request with the following information:
a) the Request-URI, which shall contain a public user identity of the SM-over-IP receiver associated with the received IMSI;
b) the Accept-Contact header, which shall contain a "+g.3gpp.smsip" parameter and the "explicit" and "require" tags according to RFC 3841 [17];
c) the Request-Disposition header which shall contain the "no-fork" directive;
d) the P-Asserted-Identity header which shall contain the SIP URI of the IP-SM-GW;
e) the Content-Type header which shall contain "application/vnd.3gpp.sms"; and
f) the body of the request which shall contain an RP-DATA message as defined in 3GPP TS 24.011 [8], including the SMS headers and the SMS user information encoded as specified in 3GPP TS 23.040 [3].For example flows, see MT Delivery Flows
The IPSMGWPSDelivery feature arms a service timer (with the value of FallbackTimer attribute in the IPSMGWPSDeliveryConfigProfileTable) when it sends the SIP MESSAGE. If this timer expires, then PS Delivery has taken too long and the PSDeliveryStatus session state field is set to FAILED (default is NOT_ATTEMPTED.)
The following tables explains the behaviour during MT PS delivery.
PS_ONLY or CS_THEN_PS
This section describes the behaviour when the DeliveryOrder attribute in the Shared Configuration Profile is set to PS_ONLY or CS_THEN_PS.
For a PS delivery:
| If | Then | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Charging is performed and returns a failure |
Error returned to SMSC in MT-FSM response |
||||||||||||
Response received from UE is a 408 or 410, or no response received from UE before the FallBackTimer expires |
Error returned to SMSC in MT-FSM response, IP-SM-GW subscribes to receive UEReachabilityForIP notifications using stored MSISDN, IP-SM-GW sends a MAP Report SM Delivery Status to the HLR |
||||||||||||
Response received from UE is other code that is not a 2xx (e.g. not 202 or 200) |
Error returned to SMSC in MT-FSM response |
||||||||||||
Response received from UE is a 2xx |
|
PS_THEN_CS
This section describes the behaviour when the DeliveryOrder attribute in the Shared Configuration Profile is set to PS_THEN_CS. In this mode, PS Delivery may not necessarily respond to the SMSC itself, instead falling back to CS Delivery.
For a PS delivery:
| If | Then | ||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Charging is performed and returns a failure |
Error returned to SMSC in MT-FSM response |
||||||||||||||||||
No Response received from UE before the FallBackTimer expires |
CS Fallback initiated, IP-SM-GW subscribes to receive a UEReachabilityForIP notification using the stored MSISDN |
||||||||||||||||||
Response received from UE is not a 2xx (e.g. not 202 or 200) |
CS Fallback initiated, IP-SM-GW may subscribe to receive a UEReachabilityForIP notification using the stored MSISDN |
||||||||||||||||||
Response received from UE is a 2xx |
|
Requesting a UE Reachability for IP Notification
This feature may request a UE Reachability for IP Notification from the HSS, using Diameter Sh’s SubscribeNotificationRequest operation (through the Sh Cache Microservice).
This operation is only sent to the HSS if the SubscribeToUEReachabilityForIP configuration flag is set to true and one of the following occurs:
-
the SIP Message Request sent towards the UE is responded to with a 408 (Request Timeout) or 410 (Gone) error response, or
-
an RP-ACK or RP-ERROR is not received from the UE within a guard time period
The guard time value is the FallBackTimer. The Sh SubscribeNotificationRequest operation is sent with the MSISDN as the access key, and the One Time Notification flag set.
