Reporting terminal capabilities for supporting short message service
A method and apparatus for receiving an IP-based message, by a first UE over a WLAN, is provided. The method may comprise transmitting at least one IP-based registration message and transmitting capability information including at least a terminal type of the first UE. The first UE may receive from a second UE, the IP-based message formatted according to the capability information. The first UE may be addressed using a first MSISDN. In one embodiment, the capability information indicates a memory size of the first UE. In one embodiment, the capability information indicates support for the first UE to receive an animation.
1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting at least one Internet Protocol (IP)-based registration message;
transmitting capability information including at least a terminal type of the first UE; and
receiving, by the first UE from a second UE, an IP-based data message, wherein the IP-based data message is formatted according to the capability information;
wherein the first UE is addressed using a first Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN).
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the least one IP-based registration message and the IP-based data message are transmitted over a wireless local area network (WLAN).
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first MSISDN is provided in the registration message.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the capability information indicates a memory size of the first UE.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the capability information indicates support for the first UE to receive an animation.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the IP-based data message includes the first MSISDN.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IP-based data message includes a second MSISDN, wherein the second MSISDN is an identifier of an originator of the IP-based message.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IP-based data message is a peer-to-peer protocol message.
9. A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit at least one Internet Protocol (IP)-based registration message;
the transmitter further configured to transmit capability information including at least a terminal type of the first UE; and
a receiver configured to receive an IP-based data message from a second UE, wherein the IP-based data message is formatted according to the capability information;
wherein the first UE is addressed using a first Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN).
10. The first UE according to claim 9 , wherein the least one IP-based registration message and the IP-based data message are transmitted over a wireless local area network (WLAN).
11. The first UE according to claim 9 , wherein the first MSISDN is provided in the registration message.
12. The first UE according to claim 9 , wherein the capability information indicates a memory size of the first UE.
13. The first UE according to claim 9 , wherein the capability information indicates support for the first UE to receive an animation.
14. The first UE according to claim 9 , wherein the IP-based data message includes the first MSISDN.
15. The first UE of claim 9 , wherein the IP-based data message includes a second MSISDN, wherein the second MSISDN is an identifier of an originator of the IP-based message.
16. The first UE of claim 9 , wherein the IP-based data message is a peer-to-peer protocol message.
17. A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit at least one Internet Protocol (IP)-based registration message;
the transmitter further configured to transmit capability information including at least a terminal type of the first UE; and
the transmitter further configured to transmit a Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) message to a second UE, wherein the SMPP-based data message is formatted according to the capability information;
wherein the second UE is addressed using a Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN).
18. The first UE of claim 17 , wherein the capability information is transmitted in a session initiation protocol (SIP) message.
19. The first UE of claim 18 , wherein the SIP message is sent to an internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS).
20. The first UE of claim 17 , wherein the SMPP message is sent via a wireless local area network (WLAN).
