Abstract  Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technology for communicating short message service (SMS) in a packet switched (PS) domain of a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node SGSN in a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN).

SOLUTION: A method comprises the steps of: receiving at an SGSN a request message from user equipment (UE) indicating that the UE supports PS based SMS and performs a circuit switched (CS) registration only to receive SMS service via a CS domain; and sending from a CN control node an accept message to the UE indicating that SMS over a non-access stratum (NAS) is supported by the SGSN.
