Method, MSG in 5G server, and non-MSG in 5G gateway for providing messaging service in 5G system
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). Embodiments herein provide a method, an MSGin5G server, and non-MSGin5G gateway for providing messaging service in 5 th generation system. The provided method provides a TRF which can assist the MSGin5G server to determine a transport service(s), a GWSF which can assist the MSGin5G server to determine appropriate gateway for the determined transport service(s). Further, the provided method includes a TF to translate the MSGin5G message to a legacy 3GPP message format or a non-3GPP message format.
1. A method performed by a 5 th generation message (MSGin5G) server in a wireless network, the method comprising:
receiving an MSGin5G message request from a source user equipment (UE) to deliver a message to a target UE in the wireless network,
checking a registration repository of the MSGin5G server for an identifier (ID) of the target UE, wherein registration of a non-MSGin5G UE with the MSGin5G server is performed by a message gateway on behalf of the non-MSGin5G UE; and
transmitting the message to the message gateway in case that the target UE is a non-MSGin5G UE and the target UE is registered with the message gateway.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, the message to the target UE in case that the target UE is an MSGin5G UE.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the message is transmitted to the target UE from the message gateway using a non-MSGin5G message transport service mechanism available in the target UE.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an address conversion of the message and a protocol conversion of the message are performed by the message gateway.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MSGin5G message request comprises at least one of an ID of a source UE, the ID of the target UE, message ID information, a delivery status, an application ID, a payload, or priority type information elements.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the message gateway comprises at least one of a legacy 3GPP message gateway or a non-3GPP message gateway.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining the target UE as a non-MSGin5G UE in case that the ID of the target UE is not registered in the registration repository.
8. A MSGin5G server in a wireless network, the MSGin5G server comprising:
a memory;
a processor; and
a MSGin5G controller, operably connected to the memory and the processor, configured to:
receive an MSGin5G message request from a source user equipment (UE) to deliver a message to a target UE in the wireless network,
check a registration repository of the MSGin5G server for an identifier (ID) of the target UE, wherein registration of a non-MSGin5G UE with the MSGin5G server is performed by a message gateway on behalf of the non-MSGin5G UE, and
transmit the message to the message gateway in case that the target UE is a non-MSGin5G the target UE is registered with the message gateway.
9. The MSGin5G server as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the MSGin5G controller is further configured to:
transmit, the message to the target UE in case that the target UE is an MSGin5G UE.
10. The MSGin5G server as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the message is transmitted to the target UE from the message gateway using a non-MSGin5G message transport service mechanism available in the target UE.
11. The MSGin5G server as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein an address conversion of the message and a protocol conversion of the message are performed by the message gateway.
12. The MSGin5G server as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the MSGin5G message request comprises at least one of an ID of a source UE, the ID of the target UE, message ID information, a delivery status, an application ID, a payload, or priority type information elements.
13. The MSGin5G server as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the message gateway comprises at least one of a legacy 3GPP message gateway or a non-3GPP message gateway.
14. The MSGin5G server as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the MSGin5G controller is further configured to:
determine the target UE as a non-MSGin5G UE in case that the ID of the target UE is not registered in the registration repository.
