    The document discusses Short Message Service (SMS) in GSM networks. It introduces SMS, noting it allows short text messages up to 160 characters between entities using MAP protocol. The length is limited to 140 octets by MAP. Languages with non-Latin alphabets require 16-bit encoding. Long SMS can be concatenated when over 160 characters by splitting the message. The document also mentions mobile-originated and mobile-terminated SMS during active calls.

    why max length of 160 characters?

    Transfer of messages via map has limitation of 140 octets (140*8=1120 bits) Character codes used:
    7-bit alphabet 8-bit alphabet 16-bit alphabet

    characters in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc, alphabet must be encoded using the 16-bit coding scheme

    Concatenated sms/long sms


    Used when sms size is >160 characters Sms is split and sent as separate messages Message length is lower:
    153 for 7-bit encoding 134 for 8-bit encoding 67 for 16-bit encoding

    Udh size of 48-49 bits
