K.2 Support for SMS when UE is registered to both 5GS and EPS

23.0403GPPRelease 17Technical realization of the Short Message Service (SMS)TS

When a UE is operating in dual-registration mode as specified 3GPP TS 23.501 [8] and is registered to the network via:

– MME; and

– AMF;

and SMS in EPS uses SMS over SGs, the network shall deliver an MT short message either via SMS over SGs in EPS or SMS over NAS in 5GS based on local policy. In case the network determines the MT short message delivery fails, e.g. the UE is not reachable, the network may try delivering the short message via the not yet tried option for delivering the MT short message. If the network tries to deliver an MT short message via SMS over SGs in EPS and SMS over NAS in 5GS then the mobile not reachable flags specified in clause 3.2.8 of this specification are only set if MT short message delivery fails via both options.

NOTE 1: This version of the specification does not specify an architecture that provides a standardized interface between SMSF and VLR.

Editor’s note: Support for SMS in MME specified in Annex I for dual registration requires further study.
