HANDLING OF DELIVERY REPORTS FOR MESSAGES HAVING A ONE-TO-MANY OR MANY-TO-ONE RELATIONSHIP

摘要

A method for receiving a message for which a result record is generated. One or more linked result records are generated, where a linked result record comprises a link to or from the result record of the received message. Information is updated from delivery reports relating to the delivery of linked messages generated on the basis of the received message and transmitted to one or more destination nodes to the result record of the received message and to its linked result records. The method provides a simple and conservative implementation for one-to-many and many-to-one relationship between individually addressed mobile originated and mobile terminated messages and their associated reports.
