Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMISING AN IP SHORT MESSAGE GATEWAY (IPSMGW) MESSAGING SERVICE FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to network performance management systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to method and system for optimising an IP short message gateway (IPSMGW) messaging service. BACKGROUND [0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art. [0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. The third generation (3G) technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users. [0004] In a communication network, usually when user A sends an SMS to user B, a request is received at a one or more first IP Short Message Gateway (IPSMGW) side. From the one or more first IPSMGW site, a MNP request is shared to get details about the User B such as operator details etc. Upon fetching operator details of the User B, a Diameter request is shared to DRAto confirm the amount to be charged for the SMS delivery and execute the charge. After this, an SRI request is shared by the one or more first IPSMGW confirm to a global title (GT) to a terminal IPSMGW to fetch the GT. This GT is shared back to the one or more first IPSMGW and upon fetching the GT, a Mobile Terminated (MT) request to share the SMS is shared by the one or more first IPSMGW to the user B via a SIP-Delivery. An Acknowledgement of the SMS is shared back to the one or more first IPSMGW and then to the User A. However, the terminal IPSMGW is not aware as to which of the one or more first IPSMGW the GT is to be delivered, leading to failure in the SMS Delivery. [0005] Further, over the period of time various solutions have been developed that attempt to improve the performance of the communication devices, particularly for improving the SMS delivery within a communication network. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions which do not provide an optimal solution for the SMS delivery such as in case, an IPSMGW of a vendor receives a message from a first UE, or a mobile originated (MO) request over SIP, then in that case, the IPSMGW is required to send the message to SMSC of another vendor and the SMSC forwards the message to a second UE over a Mobile Application Part (MAP), and there is a requirement for both IPSMGW as well as SMSC for supporting SIP and MAP configurations. Further, another challenge with existing solutions was that the overall traffic on the network is not efficiently managed. [0006] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art for an improved and optimised messaging service and the IPSMGW within a communication network to allow an improvement in the SMS Delivery, which the present disclosure aims to address. SUMMARY [0007] This section is provided to introduce certain aspects of the present disclosure in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify the key features or the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0008] An aspect of the present disclosure may relate to a method for optimising an IP short message gateway (IPSMGW) messaging service. The method comprising receiving, by a transceiver unit from a first user associated with a first network, a short message service (SMS) request comprising one or more SMS request parameters. The method further comprises initiating, by a processing unit from one or more first IPSMGW associated with the first user, a mobile number portability (MNP) request associated with the second user. The method further comprises initiating, by the processing unit to a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) associated with the first user, a diameter
