ABSTRACT:
A method is provided of targeting short message service (SMS) message for delivery to a mobile station. When an SMS center (SMSC) in a cellular network receives an SMS message and is to send it to a mobile station, the SMS center determines the location of the mobile station either directly or indirectly via a location register. The SMS center correlates that location with a particular base transceiver station serving that location. The SMS center then causes the SMS message to be delivered to the mobile station via that particular base transceiver station. The SMS center thus can avoid sending SMS messages to all base transceiver stations in a given area, thereby conserving network resources.
