T
9、he ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Stand
10、ardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information
11、 technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Co
12、mpliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other
13、obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.

ITU-T X.1242 (02/2009) Introduction With the increasing popularization of mobile services, SMS has become one o
20、f the most profitable value-added services due to low price, excellent flexibility and easy usage. However, at the same time, SMS spam is growing rapidly and is bringing the following serious influences: reducing users satisfaction about SMS wasting network resources increasing social instability br
21、inging other negative influences. Therefore, it is very important to find an effective and efficient solution to counter SMS spam while maintaining the operational efficiency of SMS. However, the following principles should be taken into account: minimize changes to the user SMS interface improve th
22、e users confidence in the SMS be easy to implement and deploy minimize changes to the existing network system Based on the above principles, the SMS spam filtering system based on user-specified rules is an effective and efficient way to counter SMS spam. It means to establish a SMS spam filtering s
23、ystem, in which users can manage SMS filtering rules and entrust the system that belongs to the service provider or the network operator to block the correlative short messages. The system has the following merits: protect the users privacy through user-specified rules meet the users requirements on

43、specified rules refers to a filtering system attached to SMSCs, in which users can configure (add, delete and edit) filtering rules, and at the same time, all short messages to such users can be filtered according to those filtering rules. In addition, users can manage (query, delete and restore) fi
44、ltered short messages by specified methods. Filtering rules can be based on address (phone number), time, content, etc. In addition, specific filtering rules can be used individually or in combination with other filtering rules. If filtering rules are used in combination with other filtering rules,
45、prioritization of the filtering rules is one of the necessary steps implicit in setting the rules. In order to be used easily and practically for this service, at least one of the following management methods for users should be provided: SMS, Web and secretary station. 7 System structure 7.1 Genera
46、l structure The SMS spam filtering system includes the following logical modules: service control module (SCM), SMS spam filtering module (SSFM), user service management module (USMM), user-specified rules database (URD) and filtered messages database (FMD). The structure of the SMS spam filtering s
47、ystem is shown in Figure 1: 4 Rec.

The access
48、layer includes the SCM; the service layer includes the USMM and the SSFM; the data layer includes the URD and the FMD. 7.2 Module requirements 7.2.1 Access layer The access layer, the outer layer, is connected to the SMSC directly and is mainly responsible for external entities (including users) acc

Therefore, any short message should be queried in the SCM before being transferred to determine whether the recipient has the service subscription for SMS spam filtering service or not. If so, the short message will be delivered
