– the Diameter application for the S6c interface between the HSS/UDM and the central SMS functions (SMS-GMSC, SMS Router) ;

– the Diameter application

– for the SGd interface between the MME/SMSF, 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.

For the purpose of supporting SMS in 5GS, the UDM may implement the requirements specified in the present specification for HSS, with the following modification:
