Background technology
Second generation mobile communication technology (2nd Generation, 2G) or 3G (Third Generation) Moblie technology (3rdGeneration, 3G) network, for example, global system for mobile communications (Global System for MobileCommunication, GSM) or Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (Wideband Code Division MultipleAccess, WCDMA) network can form a kind of comprehensive covering through for many years deployment.Along with development of internet technology, some only provide packet-switched domain (Packet Switched, PS) pure PS territory network-covered is to some cities and traffic hot zones, for example, System Architecture Evolution (System ArchitectureEvolution, SAE)/Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE), high-speed packet inserts (HighSpeed Packet Access, HSPA), high-speed packet insert evolution (High Speed Packet AccessEvolution, HSPA+) or micro-wave access to global intercommunication (Worldwide Interoperability forMicrowave Access, WiMAX) network.Thereby in present communication network, these pure PS territory networks and 2G or 3G network are also deposited.
Different networks has different carrying mechanisms, at different network carrying mechanism, the audio call of mobile communication can be divided into two classes: the first kind is circuit commutative field (Circuit Switched, CS) Cheng Zai session service, for example voice call; Second class is the session service of PS territory carrying, be also referred to as internet protocal carried voice technology (Voice over Internet Protocol, VoIP) class business, by IP multimedia service subsystem (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS) provide quality of service (Quality ofService, OoS) guarantee, for example the voice call of IP carrying.
For pure PS territory network, audio call generally can only transmit in its PS territory carrying, and IMS controls audio call by IP-based network.And in 2G or 3G network, audio call generally is carried on the CS territory.
The user who makes a call is in the call process, can cross over the network of two different bearer mechanism, because the difference of load-bearing of mobile telecommunication business mechanism, for example, (User Equipment UE) moves out the scope that the base station covered of pure PS territory network, and when entering the area of coverage of base station of 2G or 3G network when portable terminal, the interruption of audio call may occur, thereby influence the continuity that user speech is called out.
In order to address the above problem, guarantee the continuity that user speech is called out, for the CS business, can adopt at present and return back to CS territory (CS fallback) mechanism and handle, for example, when mobile phone is initiated CS calling or response CS paging at the LTE network, switching or gravity treatment are to GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network earlier, GERAN) or Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UniversalTerrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN) network is set up the CS calling again, when described GERAN or UTRAN network support PS switch, carry out PS and switch, carry out circuit domain call at described GERAN or UTRAN network and set up flow process.
The inventor finds in realizing process of the present invention, in such scheme,, objective network do not support two transmission (Dual Transfer Mode if supporting PS to switch, DTM) pattern, then the PS business can't be carried out simultaneously with the CS business, after promptly carrying out the PS switching, before the professional release of PS, can't set up the CS business, cause the professional time delay of setting up of CS.
