Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing first delivery attempt service for short message peer-to-peer (smpp) messages

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a first delivery attempt (FDA) for short message peer-to-peer messages are disclosed. One method includes receiving, in a first network, a short message peer-to-peer protocol (SMPP) message from second communications network external to the first communications network. The SMPP message is converted into a mobile originated SMS message. The method also includes forwarding the mobile originated SMS message to a first delivery attempt (FDA) device, wherein the FDA device converts the mobile originated SMS message into a mobile terminated SMS message. The mobile terminated SMS message is delivered to a device in the local communications network.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
