Figure B.4.1 shows the MNP-SRF operation for delivering an SMS message to a non-ported number.
Figure B.4.2 shows the MNP-SRF operation for delivering an SMS message to a non-ported number where the SRI_for_SM message is submitted by a national interrogating network. For further details of the higher level relay function (e.g. TC relay), the reader is referred to
[7].
Figure B.4.3 shows the MNP-SRF operation for delivering an SMS message to a ported number where the interrogating network does not support direct routeing.
The message flows for this scenario are based on the use of an SCCP-relay function in the MNP-SRF(s). If the MNP-SRF(s) use(s) a higher-level relay function (e.g. TC-relay), then the response message will go via the MNP-SRF as shown in
clause B.4.2. For further details of the signalling relay functions, the reader is referred to
