Description

A kind of changing method that keeps multimedia conversation continuity business
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate more specifically to keep in a kind of IMS system changing method of multimedia conversation continuity business.
Background technology
IP (network interconnection agreement; Internet Protocol is called for short IP) IP multimedia subsystem, IMS (IPMultimedia Core Network Subsystem is called for short IMS) is by third generation partner program (3rdGeneration Partnership Project; Abbreviation 3GPP) a kind of IP-based network framework that proposes; It has made up an opening and service environment flexibly, supports multimedia application, and abundant multimedia service is provided for the user.
IMS is based on the communication network framework of IP; Irrelevant with access technology; Except being GPRS (General Packet Radio Service; GPRS), WLAN packet access networks such as (Wireless LocalArea Network, WLANs) provides outside the business, can also be GSM (Global System for Mobile communications; Global system for mobile communications), UMTS mobile cellular networks such as (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, unified mobile communcations systems) provides professional.
Mobile cellular network such as GSM, UMTS adopts circuit-switched technology, is called circuit (CircuitSwitched is called for short CS) territory, can basic speech business be provided for the user, and based on the supplementary service of speech business.When IMS was inserted in the CS territory, it developed into a kind of access way, and business provides by IMS is unified fully, and this technology is called IMS centralized traffic (IMS Centralized Service is called for short ICS).In the network; Realize that the professional network element of ICS can be IMS circuit domain control function (IMSCS Control Function; ICCF), also can be enhancement mode mobile switching centre (Mobile SwitchCenter, MSC); Because these network elements and essence of the present invention are irrelevant, so the unified ICS node that is called among the present invention.Subscriber equipment (User Equipment; UE) and the interface between the ICS node can be destructuring supplementary service data (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data is called for short USSD); Can be conversation initialized protocol (the Session Initial Protocol on the PS territory; Be called for short SIP), also can be traditional circuit domain interface.
The user need keep the continuity of Multimedia session under various access waies simultaneously.At this moment, the Multimedia session of user UE not only will keep continuity when switching between the packet-switched domain (Packet Switch is called for short PS), simultaneously in PS territory and CS territory, keep continuity in the switching in PS territory and PS territory+CS territory.Guarantee that this successional technology is called IMS multimedia conversation continuity (MultimediaSession Continuity is called for short MMSC).In the MMSC technology, if MMSC user UE inserts from the CS territory, then the access way in CS territory adopts the ICS technology, if promptly MMSC contracted user UE need be when CS inserts, it also must be the ICS contracted user.The Organization Chart of MMSC technology is as shown in Figure 1.This system comprises MMSC and ICS contracted user, ICS node, S-CSCF node, MMSC AS and remote subscriber; Wherein, when MMSC and ICS contracted user insert through the CS territory and the ICS node communication, when inserting through the PS territory and the S-CSCF node communication, ICS node and S-CSCF node all link to each other with MMSC AS, and MMSC AS communicates by letter with remote subscriber again.For simplicity, the network element that has nothing to do with the present invention on the access path all omits in the drawings.
In the MMSC technology, have such handoff scenario: user UE carries out Multimedia session at Access Network A, and this Access Network provides has the PS of VoIP ability territory (this moment, voice and other multi-medium datas were all in the PS territory); User UE because a variety of causes (as; Wireless signal variation, reasons such as charging) need switch to another Access Network B, this Access Network PS territory does not have the VoIP ability; Perhaps this Access Network has only the CS territory, and voice this moment must be in the CS territory.
The prior art switching flow is as shown in Figure 2: user UE-A and far-end are set up Multimedia session on PS1 territory (Access Network A).This moment, UE-A was because a variety of causes need switch to Access Network B, and wherein voice are in the CS territory, and remaining Multimedia session all switches to new PS territory, described for convenient, and the present invention is with this new PS territory of PS2 domain representation.
101) the UE-A decision begins to switch;
102) UE-A initiates the SIP conversation request in the PS2 territory; Wherein comprise the territory and switched sign (Domain Transfer URI; Abbreviation VDI), Multimedia session handover information; Point out that wherein voice conversation switches to the CS territory, this message sends to the service call conversation control function (Serving-Call Session Control Function is called for short S-CSCF) of user attaching; The Multimedia session handover information can comprise the information of describing handoff scenario;
103) according to initial filter standard or norm (initial Filter Criteria is called for short iFC), S-CSCF transmits the SIP conversation request to MMSC AS (IP Multimedia System multimedia conversation continuity application server);
104) MMSC AS knows that according to VDI this is to switch, and knows the handover information in CS territories such as needs continuation according to the Multimedia session handover information;
105) UE-A initiates a session request in the CS territory, and its called number uses territory Handover Number (DomainTransfer Number is called for short VDN), this message goes ICS node;
106) the ICS node is initiated the SIP conversation request, and called number is VDN, and this conversation request mails to the S-CSCF node;
107) according to initial filter standard or norm (initial Filter Criteria is called for short iFC), S-CSCF transmits the SIP conversation request to MMSC AS;
108~110) after MMSC AS receives the message of step 103 and step 107, merge this two conversation request, and to far-end UE-B new session more;
111~114) MMSC AS receives the 200OK of far-end, and accomplishes session and set up;
115~116) MMSC AS discharges original session in the PS1 territory;
As can be seen from Figure 2, the defective of present switching is: if after the SIP conversation request in CS territory arrives MMSC AS earlier in the step 107, have four kinds of scenes:
Scene one: this switches to the part switching, and voice conversation switches to the CS territory, all the other Multimedia session deletions.This moment, MMSC AS may receive the Bye request of sending in the PS1 territory, also possibly can not receive fully, lost suddenly like signaling mistake or wireless signal covering;
Scene two: this switches to the part switching, and voice conversation switches to the CS territory, and all the other Multimedia session are retained in the PS1 territory.MMSC AS will receive in the original Multimedia session in PS1 territory, the re-INVITE request of sending;
Scene three: as Fig. 2 described, voice conversation switched to the CS territory, and all the other Multimedia session switch to the PS2 territory, and MMSC AS can receive the conversation request in PS2 territory;
Scene four: this switches to the part switching, and voice conversation switches to the CS territory, and all the other Multimedia session partly switch to the PS2 territory, and remainder is retained in the PS1 territory.MMSC AS will receive in the original Multimedia session in PS1 territory, the re-INVITE that sends, and can receive the conversation request in PS2 territory;
When step 107 arrives earlier, owing in the present technology, can not carry enough Multimedia session handover informations through the CS territory session that the ICS mode is initiated, MMSC AS does not understand it is any scene, does not therefore know how this handles.For example, in scene one, MMSC AS need not wait for the conversation request from the PS territory, and all the other scene MMSC AS need continue to wait for the request in PS territory.Cause system to go wrong.
