Abstract

Submit report handling in Short Message Session Initiation Protocol (SMSIP) is provided. For example, a method can include preparing a submit report, wherein the preparing includes using a combination of forking and an in-reply-to header to find an appropriate terminal. The method can also include sending the submit report to the appropriate terminal. Likewise, another method can include receiving, by an apparatus, a session initiation protocol message request including a submit report. The method can also include processing the submit report to determine whether the request corresponds to a message sent by the apparatus. The method can further include sending, when the submit report is determined not to correspond to any message sent by the apparatus, a not-acceptable-here session initiation protocol response. The method can additionally include sending, when the submit report is determined to correspond to the message sent by the apparatus, an ok session initiation protocol message.

Claims (23)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least

one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:

receive a session initiation protocol message request comprising a submit report;

process the submit report to determine whether the request corresponds to a message sent by the apparatus;

send, when the submit report is determined not to correspond to the message sent by the apparatus, a not-acceptable-here session initiation protocol response; and

send, when the submit report is determined to correspond to the message sent by the apparatus, an ok session initiation protocol message.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a user equipment, personal digital assistant, portable communication device, wireless terminal, wireless handheld device, personal computer, or a mobile station.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the submit report is received from, and the not-acceptable-here or ok session initiation protocol message is sent to, an internet protocol short message gateway.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing further comprises determining that the submit report corresponds to the message sent by the apparatus by comparing a received call identification in the submit report with a call identification previously stored.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that when executed, perform at least the following:

receiving, by an apparatus, a session initiation protocol message request comprising a submit report;

processing the submit report to determine whether the request corresponds to a message sent by the apparatus;

sending, when the submit report is determined not to correspond to a message sent by the apparatus, a not-acceptable-here session initiation protocol response; and

sending, when the submit report is determined to correspond to the message sent by the apparatus, an ok session initiation protocol message.

6. A method comprising:

receiving, at an apparatus, a session initiation protocol message request comprising a submit report;

processing, at the apparatus, the submit report to determine whether the request corresponds to a message sent by the apparatus;

sending, from the apparatus, when the submit report is determined not to correspond to the message sent by the apparatus, a not-acceptable-here session initiation protocol response; and

sending, from the apparatus, when the submit report is determined to correspond to the message sent by the apparatus, an ok session initiation protocol message.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the submit report is received from, and the not-acceptable-here or ok session initiation protocol message is sent to, an interne protocol short message gateway.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the processing further comprises determining that the submit report corresponds to the message sent by the apparatus by comparing a received call identification in the submit report with a call identification previously stored.
