## Abstract

A method for transferring data using optimized short message transport includes receiving at a first network node an attach request message. The attach request message includes short-message data. The first network node receives from a second network node a short-message data response message. The short-message data response message includes at least one of an address for a short message service center, an indication that indicates no mobile-terminated message is pending for the UE, or a short-message entity destination address.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-21. (canceled)

### Claim 22

A method, comprising:
receiving, at a user equipment (UE), from a network, an indication indicating that the network supports optimized short message transport, wherein optimized short message transport comprises transmitting data in short messages using a registration procedure; and
transmitting, from the UE, a registration request message to the network, wherein the registration request message indicates that the registration request message is for cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) data transmission, and the registration request message includes a data message container.

### Claim 23 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the data message container includes one or more Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that are at least one of a short-message service (SMS)-SUBMIT PDU, an SMS-COMMAND PDU, an SMS-DELIVER-REPORT PDU, or an SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT PDU.

### Claim 24 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the registration request message indicates a type of service for CIoT data transmission.

### Claim 25 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the registration request message indicates that the UE requests not to transition to a connected mode.

### Claim 26 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, further comprising:
receiving an registration response message, wherein the registration response message indicates whether there is a mobile-terminated message for the UE is pending.

### Claim 27 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the data message container includes CIoT data.

### Claim 28 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the registration request message is transmitted in response to receiving the indication.

### Claim 29 (depends on 22)

The method of claim 22, wherein the indication is received explicitly via a broadcast message or implicitly based on a radio access technology (RAT) used by the network.

### Claim 30

A user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one hardware processor, wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a network, an indication indicating that the network supports optimized short message transport, wherein optimized short message transport comprises transmitting data in short messages using an registration procedure; and
transmitting an registration request message to the network, wherein the registration request message indicates that the registration request message is for cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) data transmission, and the registration request message includes a data message container.

### Claim 31 (depends on 30)

The UE of claim 30, wherein the registration request message is transmitted in response to receiving the indication.

### Claim 32 (depends on 30)

The UE of claim 30, wherein the data message container includes CIoT data.

### Claim 33 (depends on 32)

The UE of claim 32, wherein the CIoT data is one or more Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that are at least one of a short-message service (SMS)-SUBMIT PDU, an SMS-COMMAND PDU, an SMS-DELIVER-REPORT PDU, or an SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT PDU.

### Claim 34 (depends on 30)

The UE of claim 30, wherein the registration request message indicates a type of service for CIoT data transmission.

### Claim 35 (depends on 30)

The UE of claim 30, wherein the registration request message indicates that the UE requests not to transition to a connected mode.

### Claim 36 (depends on 30)

The UE of claim 30, the operations further comprising: receiving an registration response message, wherein the registration response message indicates whether there is a mobile-terminated message pending for the UE.

### Claim 37 (depends on 30)

The UE of claim 30, wherein the indication is received explicitly via a broadcast message or implicitly based on a radio access technology (RAT) used by the network.

### Claim 38

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising;
receiving, at a user equipment (UE), from a network, an indication indicating that the network supports optimized short message transport, wherein optimized short message transport comprises transmitting data in short messages using an registration procedure; and
transmitting, from the UE, an registration request message to the network, wherein the registration request message indicates that the registration request message is for cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) data transmission, and the registration request message includes a data message container.

### Claim 39 (depends on 38)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 38, wherein the registration request message is transmitted in response to receiving the indication.

### Claim 40 (depends on 38)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 38, wherein the data message container includes CIoT data.

### Claim 41 (depends on 40)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 40, wherein the CIoT data is one or more Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that are at least one of a short-message service (SMS)-SUBMIT PDU, an SMS-COMMAND PDU, an SMS-DELIVER-REPORT PDU, or an SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT PDU.

### Claim 42 (depends on 38)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 38 wherein the registration request message indicates a type of service for CIoT data transmission.

### Claim 43 (depends on 38)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 38, wherein the registration request message indicates that the UE requests not to transition to a connected mode.

### Claim 44 (depends on 38)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 38, wherein the indication is received explicitly via a broadcast message or implicitly based on a radio access technology (RAT) used by the network.
