SMS Scenario - Basic and Useful

The document describes the process of an SMS originating from a GSM network and being delivered to a different GSM network. The MS originates an SMS, which is forwarded by MSC A to SMSC-A. SMSC-A uses an SRI query to determine the location of the recipient and routes the SMS accordingly, either directly to the recipient's HLR or via the gateway MSC. The recipient's HLR or MSC/VLR responds with delivery confirmation once the SMS has been delivered.
