  • Patent number: 12713211
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to provide messaging for IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-capable user equipment (UE). Subscription data can be used to confirm that the UE is appropriately configured for messaging via short message service (SMS) function and that the UE is IMS-capable. SMS over non-access stratum (SMSoNAS) is a backup method of message delivery for IMS-capable UEs and SMSoIMS is the preferred method of message delivery for IMS-capable UEs. Once it is verified that the UE is IMS-capable, the present invention disables SMSoNAS communication for the IMS-capable UE to avoid additional signaling and capacity impact to the network.
