1 Scope
The present document defines the Diameter-based interfaces specific to SMS when they are used in conjunction with
the "SMS in MME" architecture specified in 3GPP TS 23.272 [2] or for SGSN supporting EPS interfaces. It comprises:
- the Diameter application for the S6c interface between the HSS and the central SMS functions (SMS-GMSC,
SMS Router) ;
- the Diameter application
- for the SGd interface between the MME, the SMS-IWMSC, the SMS-GMSC and the SMS Router.
- for the Gdd interface between the SGSN, the SMS-IWMSC, the SMS-GMSC and the SMS Router.
