Mechanism for controlling a transmission of data messages to user equipment by an external gateway

A home subscriber database usable for controlling a transmission of data messages in a communication network, the home subscriber database being operationally connected and configured to:

• receive a request message including registration information from a message gateway entity by means of a Mobile Application Part signaling, wherein the request message further comprises information elements including registration and address data related to the message gateway entity;
• store the registration information and information elements in the home subscriber database for executing a registration procedure;
• and
• use the stored registration information and information elements for responding to a routing information request for transmitting a data message to a destination connected to the message gateway entity.

A system for controlling a transmission of data messages in a communication network, the system comprising:

• a receiving party as a destination for the data messages;
• a message gateway entity usable for a transmission of data messages in the communication network, the message gateway entity being operationally connected and configured to participate in a registration procedure and to send a request message including registration information to a home subscriber database by using a Mobile Application Part signaling, wherein the message gateway entity is configured to include in the request message information elements including registration and address data related to the message gateway entity;
• and
• the home subscriber database usable for controlling transmission of data messages in the communication network, the home subscriber database being operationally connected and configured to receive the request message including registration information from the message gateway entity by means of a Mobile Application Part signaling, wherein the request message further comprises information elements including registration and address data related to the message gateway entity, to store the registration information and information elements in the home subscriber database for executing a registration procedure and to use the stored registration information and information elements for responding to a routing information request for transmitting a data message to a destination connected to the message gateway entity.

A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program comprising software code portions for enabling functions of a message gateway entity usable for a transmission of data messages in a communication network, wherein the computer program is configured to control a computer to execute

• participating in a registration procedure;
• sending a request message including registration information to a home subscriber database by using a Mobile Application Part signaling;
• and
• including in the request message information elements including registration and address data related to the message gateway entity control element usable for controlling a call management for a subscriber.
