Abstract
Systems and methods for optimizing SMS communications such that an SMS-SC is bypassed in the communications include receiving, by an A-SCEF, at least one communication from an AS, the at least one communication including a data payload and a generic destination UE identifier, determining, by the A-SCEF, the at least one communication is associated with an SMS communication, creating, by the A-SCEF, a message including the data payload and a network-usable destination UE identifier, and providing, by the A-SCEF, the message to a MME such that it recognizes the message as an SMS communication and forwards the data payload to the UE as an SMS communication.
