Messages e.g. short message service managing method for cellular system of radio communication, involves detecting reception of message in response to previous message by comparing stored and transmitted identifiers

摘要

The method involves storing an identifier of a communication entity (1,3) deducted from a received message and an identifier of an entity (2) transmitted in the message at a service center. A reception of another message sent to the entity (1,3) and transmitted from the entity (2) in response to the former message is detected based on a comparison between stored and transmitted identifiers to send a report to the center. The report comprises information indicating that the latter message is a reply to the former message. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) communication entity (b) a communication system.
