This paper focuses on factors affecting the dimensioning of Short Message Service (SMS) systems in mobile communications networks. Problems associated with Quality of Service (QoS) in modern communications networks in general are described, along with the main parameters that define QoS in SMS systems. The functionality of the SMS in terms of European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards is then explained. The creation of a queuing model is described for an SMS system which is based on ETSI documentation and will be analysed in calculations. The parameter completion rate plays an important role in SMS. Practical aspects of the End-to-End (E2E) delivery time for SMS systems are also discussed. The approach suggested in this paper and the insights gained in the course of this work can be of valuable practical use in the planning and analysis of real SMS systems.
