12 Support of Operator Specific Services

22.1403GPPMultimedia Messaging Service (MMS)Stage 1TS

The MMS may support operator specific services. Thereby network operators shall be able to provide additional MMS services dealing with enhanced addressing and charging.

If supported, the interaction between the MMS and Operator Specific Service shall happen immediately after multimedia message submission time or immediately before multimedia message delivery time, or both.

Multimedia Messages sent or delivered from/to users shall be subject to operator specific services handling if:

– the user is provisioned with operator specific services in the MMS user profile. The user may be provisioned independently for operator specific services applicable for submission and delivery of multimedia messages.
Provisioning of Operator Specific Services for MMS is under control of the HPLMN operator.

– the MMS determines based on a pre-analysis of the recipient’s address(es) found in a submitted multimedia message that an Operator Specific Service needs to be invoked. The definition of the addresses invoking MMS Operator Specific Services is under control of the HPLMN operator(s) of the originating and terminating subscribers.

If the Operator Specific Services needs to be invoked, the MMS shall temporarily suspend the normal process of that multimedia message and shall provide the Operator Specific Services with at least the following information:

– messaging event (submission, delivery)

– multimedia message data:

– sender identification

– recipient addresses

As a response to the above request from the MMS, the Operator Specific Services may request the MMS to perform one of the following actions:

– leave the multimedia message unmodified and proceed with its processing;

– reject the message.

– modify one or more of the following multimedia message data:

– sender identification

– recipient addresses

Operator Specific Services shall be allowed to influence charging of the message by providing additional information to the MMS. The MMS shall transparently forward this information to the billing systems together with the MMS charging relevant data.

12.1 Service Interaction

This subclause specifies interactions between Operator Specific Services and other services in the MMS.

12.1.1 VASP Services

Operator Specific Services take precedence over VASP services. If short code addressing to Value Added Services is supported by the MMS, the result from an Operator Specific Service shall be subject to short code address translation.

Multimedia Messages submitted from a VASP may be subject to operator specific services.
