Route Optimization and Delivery of Short Message Service in Telecommunication Networks
O. Osunade, SO Nurudeen · Trends in Technical & Scientific Research · 2023
There are over 20 million subscribers to telecommunication services in Nigeria.The telecommunication services have impacted the frequency and mode of communication of users.The Short Message Service (SMS) is one of the widely used services by subscribers due to the ability for recipients to read messages at their convenience.SMS uses computing devices such as routers and servers for delivery of messages to subscribers on a network.Not all messages sent by subscribers are delivered.An evaluation of the log files for SMS delivery indicated a high failure rate due to Absent Subscriber.This work aims to propose a solution to reduce the incidence of Absent Subscriber error.The proposed solution prevents the direct submission of the message for delivery.The proposed model was simulated using Java.The results indicate a reduction in failure rate of messages sent by subscribers.
