Overview

Short Message Service Function (SMSF) is a network entity in the 5G Core Network (5GC). It handles activation and deactivation of user equipment (UE), ensures registration to UDM, maintains UE context, and provides short message services to UE as well as other network functions.

SMS subscription checks, SM-RP/SM-CP with the UE: Verifies user's SMS subscription and establishes communication with their device.
Relays Message to and fro between UE and NW Nodes: Relays the Short Message (SM) to and fro between UE and SMS-GMSC, IWMSC or SMS-Router. Acts as a bridge for SMS messages between the user's device and the various messaging centers.
SMS-related CDR, Lawful Interception support: Records SMS activity and allows for lawful interception of messages as required.
Integration with AMF and UDM: Interaction with AMF and UDM for notification procedure that the UE is available for SMS transfer: Communicates with network functions to signal the user's device is ready to send/receive SMS.
SMS Service Activation: Activation or de-activation of SMS service for a given service user: Enables or disables SMS service for a specific user.
RFC 7540 compliant HTTP2 stack implementation: SMSF uses the latest HTTP/2 standard for efficient communication. Also, supports both h2c (clear-text TCP) and h2 (secure TCP).
