14.8. SMS Character Sets Conversions
In
3GPP TS 23.038
DCS (Data Coding Scheme) defined three kinds of alphabets in SMS, GSM 7 bit
default alphabet, 8 bit data and UCS2(16bit).
AT+CSMP
can set the DCS in text mode (
AT+CMGF=1
). In
text mode, DCS (Data Coding Scheme) and
AT+CSCS
determine the way of SMS text input or output.
Table 14: The Way of SMS Text Input or Output
When DCS=GSM 7 bit, the input or output needs conversion. The detailed conversion tables are shown
as below.
Table 15: The Input Conversions Table (DCS=GSM 7 bit and AT
+CSCS=“GSM”)
DCS
AT+CSCS
The Way of SMS Text Input or Output
GSM 7 bit
GSM
Input or output GSM character sets.
GSM 7 bit
IRA
Input or output IRA character sets.
Input: UE will convert IRA characters to GSM characters.
Output: UE will convert GSM characters to IRA characters.
GSM 7 bit
UCS2
Input or output a hex string similar to PDU mode. So only support
characters
„0‟-„9‟ and „A‟-„F‟.
Input: UE will convert the UCS2 hex string to GSM characters.
Output: UE will convert the GSM characters to UCS2 hex string.
UCS2
-
Ignore the value of AT+CSCS, input or output a hex string similar to
PDU mode. So only support characters
„0‟-„9‟ and „A‟-„F‟.
8 bit
-
Ignore the value of AT+CSCS
,
input or output a hex string similar to
PDU mode. So only support characters
„0‟-„9‟ and „A‟-„F‟.
