There are two main ways by which SMS can be delivered over LTE system.
• SMS Over SGs: Here LTE UE device sends and retrieves CS(Circuit Switched) based SMS messages.
• SMS Over IP: Here LTE UE device sends and retrieves SIP PS(Packet Switched) based SMS messages.

SMS over SGs transfer the messages between MSC and MME and transports the messages over LTE system using SGs interface. In this type the LTE UE does not fall back to legacy cellular systems such as GSM or CDMA. Existing roaming conditions will be reused in this type of SMS over LTE.

In SMS over IP mode, SIP based SMSs are carried via IMS core element. In this type of SMS over LTE, SMS is to be transmitted is encapsulated in a SIP message in IP-SM-GW entity. This type need LTE UE having both IMS and SIP protocol stack as well as IP Short message gateway(IP-SM-GW), IMS core as well as HLR/HSS(home subscriber server) which supports SMS over IP with the help of home routing.

Can SMS over LTE cause a denial of service for UEs?

Since SG-SMS messages are carried over the downlink NAS is it possible that a flood of SMS messages from the SMSC can deny services to users in the affected cells? The use case is associated with location-based SMS.

If a large number of SMS messages are sent to a targeted group of users within a cell is it possible that the NAS cannot serve requests to establish connections from the UEs? Is it possible to prioritize the information carried over the NAS or, failing that, to randomize the selection of which messages are sent so that SMS does not prevent other service requests from being processed?
