Overview

SIST ES 202 060-3 V1.1.1:2005 establishes a standardized protocol for delivering Short Message Service (SMS) over fixed networks using Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) access. This part of the standard, focusing specifically on the ISDN access protocol, defines procedures and functional requirements for SMS interoperability in pan-European ISDN environments. Developed by SIST in alignment with ETSI deliverables, this standard supports network-based solutions (NBS) and aims to ensure reliable SMS transmission between users and service providers connected to public ISDNs.

Key Topics

  • Short Message Service (SMS) for ISDN: Specifies how SMS functionalities are made available via ISDN access points, allowing users to send and receive concise messages just as on mobile networks.
  • Network Based Solution (NBS): Outlines a network-centric approach, centering communication around the Short Message Service Centre (SM-SC) for message relay, storage, and delivery.
  • Protocol and Signalling: Details interaction protocols at the S and T reference points of an ISDN, leveraging Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) for message transfer, activation, deactivation, and status queries.
  • Service Provision & Withdrawal: Describes how the SMS service can be provisioned for and withdrawn from users, either by the service provider or on request, typically on a per-number basis.
  • Error Handling and Operational Procedures: Specifies standard error messages, response codes, and procedures for exceptional circumstances such as invalid numbers, resource unavailability, or failed message deliveries.

Applications

This standard is applicable in various real-world scenarios where SMS functionality is required in a fixed network environment, particularly in:

  • Public ISDN Deployments: Allows telecommunications operators to offer SMS services on fixed ISDN lines, similar to those traditionally available on mobile networks.
  • Enterprise Messaging Solutions: Businesses utilizing ISDN infrastructure can integrate SMS communication into their operations for customer notifications, emergency alerts, and workflow automation.
  • User Equipment (SM-TE) Implementation: Ensures compatible terminal equipment (such as ISDN phones, adapters, or PBXs) supports SMS sending and receiving via standardized network procedures.
  • Service Provider Integration: Provides a consistent interface for SMS service centers to interact with ISDN networks, supporting advanced service features like delivery reports and message status tracking.

Key operational benefits include:

  • Seamless SMS integration into existing ISDN services
  • Reliable end-to-end message delivery through standardized procedures
  • Enhanced user and network control over SMS provisioning, activation, and error management

Foreword
This ETSI Standard (ES) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for Advanced
Networks (SPAN).
The present document is part 3 of a multi-part standard covering the Short Message Services (SMS) for fixed networks;
Networks Based Solution (NBS), as described below:
Part 1: "Overview";
Part 2: "Architecture and functional entities";
Part 3: "Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) access protocol";
Part 4: "Interworking between Signalling System No.7 (SS7) and Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one
(DSS1)";
Part 5: "Network access protocol".
NOTE: The choice of a multi-part format for this deliverable is to facilitate maintenance and future
enhancements.
In accordance with ITU-T Recommendation I.130 [4], the following three level structure is used to describe the
supplementary telecommunication services as provided by European public telecommunications operators under the
pan-European ISDN:
• Stage 1 is an overall service description, from the user's standpoint;
• Stage 2 identifies the functional capabilities and information flows needed to support the service described in
stage 1; and
• Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions needed to implement the service
described in stage 1.
The present document details the stage 3 aspects (signalling system protocols and switching functions) needed to
support the SM service. The stage 1 aspects are detailed in ES 201 986 [10]. The stage 2 aspects of the SM service have
not been specified.
The present version updates the references to the basic call specifications.
Introduction
The Short Message Service (SMS) is a service, applicable at the coincident S and T reference point and T reference
point, to provide the served user the ability to send and receive Short Messages. The Short Messages (SM) are
exchanged between the sending and receiving user via a Short Message Service Centre (SM-SC).
ETSI
5 ETSI ES 202 060-3 V1.1.1 (2003-05)
1 Scope
The present document specifies the stage three of the Short Message Service (SMS) for the pan-European Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunications operators at the T reference
point or coincident S and T reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation I.411 [6]) by means of the Digital
Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol. Stage three identifies the protocol procedures and switching
functions needed to support a telecommunication service (see ITU-T Recommendation I.130 [4]).
In addition, the present document specifies the protocol requirements at the T reference point where the service is
provided to the user via an intermediate private ISDN.
The present document does not specify the additional protocol requirements where the service is provided to the user
via a telecommunication network that is not an ISDN but it does include interworking requirements of other networks
with the public ISDN.
The SM service is provided independently of a call.
Charging principles are outside the scope of the present document.
The SM service enables the originating SMS user to send Short Messages (SMs) to the receiving SMS user via a Short
Message Service Centre (SM-SC), belonging to the network of the SMS originating user (served user) or separated
from the network of the SM originating user.
NOTE: The SM service is typically used between a Short Message service provider and a user (receiving user) of
the Short Message service provided.
Further parts of the present document specify the method of testing required to identify conformance to the present
document.
The present document is applicable to equipment supporting the SM service, to be attached at either side of a
T reference point or coincident S and T reference point when used as an access to the public ISDN.

The Short Message Service (SM) service shall be available to users who are connected to the network via a basic access
or primary rate access.
The Short Message Service (SMS) enables an originating user to send a SM of a limited size to a destination user.
A Short Message (SM) can be initiated upon a request of the sending user or by the service provider itself, and shall be
sent to the receiving user. An SM is always conveyed via an SM-SC. The SM-SC receives the SM from an originating
SM-TE (sending user), converts the message if necessary, and relays the SM to the terminating SM-TE (receiving user).

Figure 1: SMS submission, delivery and confirmation
A submit report is sent from an SM-SC to an SM-TE within a sMSSubmit return result component and may be either a
positive report, which confirms the correct submission of an SM to the SM-SC, or a negative report, which informs the
SM-TE that the SM was not successfully submitted with the error reason.
A deliver report is sent to an SM-SC within a sMSDeliver return result and may be either a positive report, which
confirms the correct delivery of an SM to the receiving SM-TE, or a negative report, which informs the SM-SC that the
SM was not successfully delivered with the error reason.
If the option to provide a status report is invoked and supported, a status report is sent from the SM-SC to the
originating SM-TE in a sMSDeliver invoke component; the SM-TE acknowledges correct receipt of the status report.
Having received one or more SMs, the receiving user can subsequently read, store or delete the messages on its
terminal. If the SM-TE supports the optional Replace Short Message Function, Short Messages (SMs) with the
respective Replace Short Message Type indication held in the SM-TE are automatically replaced by received new ones.
The means by which the receiving user manages these features are outside the scope of the present document.
The preparation of an SM as well as the kind of data transmission between the sending or receiving users and the
SM-SC are outside the scope of the present document.
