The SM-Discharge-Time AVP (AVP code 2012) is of type Time. It indicates the time associated with the event being reported in the SM-Status AVP. It is only used in scenarios in which the delivery of the Delivery-Report (more properly the Status-Report) is being charged.

For example, if SM-Status has the value 0x00, then the SM-Discharge-Time indicates the time of the delivery of the original Short Message.

The SMS Node shall ensure the correct encoding of this, as the other AVPs using the type Time, since the SMS messages use different formats.
