Description

A kind of session ability information method of operating and network entity of carrying out

Technical field

Technology is set up in the session that the present invention relates in the Session Initiation Protocol network, and particularly a kind of foundation in session carried out session ability information method of operating and network entity in the process.

Background technology

Along with the development of broadband network, mobile communication not only is confined to traditional voice communication, and can be in conjunction with multiple media business such as audio frequency, video, picture and texts.Multiple media business by with present that business (presence), short message, webpage (WEB) are browsed, the combining of data service such as locating information, propelling movement business (PUSH) and file-sharing, can satisfy the multiple demand of subscriber equipment (UE).

Under the promotion of several data service application, normal structure such as 3GPP and 3GPP2 has all successively been released the IMS framework, purpose is to use a kind of standardization open architecture to realize diversified multimedia service application in the mobile network, offers more selection of UE and abundanter impression.

At 3GPP version 5 (R5, Release) stage, introduced IMS, IMS is superimposed upon on the packet field network, is made up of CCF (CSCF), MGCF (MGCF), media resource function (MRF) and home signature user server functional entitys such as (HSS).Wherein CSCF can be divided into serving CSCF (S-CSCF), proxy CSCF (P-CSCF) and three logic entities of inquiry CSCF (I-CSCF) again.S-CSCF is the service switching center of IMS, carries out session control, and peace preservation association's speech phase is in charge of UE information, produces charge information etc.; P-CSCF is the access point that UE inserts IMS, finishes the UE registration, is responsible for service quality (QoS) control and safety management etc.; I-CSCF is responsible for the intercommunication between the IMS territory, and network topology and configuration are externally hidden in distribution and the selection of management S-CSCF, produce metering data etc.The MGCF control gateway realizes the intercommunication of IMS and other network.MRF provides media resource.The subscription data of HSS storage UE and configuration information etc.

On the packet network that the IMS network of 3GPP definition also can be applied to define among the 3GPP2, provide the intercommunication with the polytype network, realize and use the independence of terminal type.Therefore do not limit IMS here and only be applied in relevant network of 3GPP and the application, the access network of other types and the business of bearer network also can realize with the IMS framework with using.

SIP is the IP phone signaling protocol that is proposed by Internet engineering duty group (IETF).SIP is used for initiation session, it can control the foundation and the termination of the Multimedia session of a plurality of participants' participation, and can dynamically adjust and revise session attribute, as session bandwidth require, the code/decode format of the medium type (voice, video and text etc.) of transmission, medium, to the support of multicast and clean culture etc.In IMS, use the signaling control protocol of Session Initiation Protocol as IP multimedia session.

The business platform of IMS network is based on the business platform of Internet protocol (IP) telephone conversation of SIP foundation.When terminal will be enjoyed application service on the IMS network, need between terminal and terminal or AS, set up session, in setting up the process of session, the calling and called terminal need be carried out the negotiation of professional ability, and the network entity in the process of service capability negotiation on the IMS network might participate in the process of service capability negotiation.The professional ability of session is meant the ability of the service needed that realization is begun after session negotiation is finished.The information of professional ability can be carried by the message body (Content) of sip message, can pass through modes such as Content/sdp, Content/application or Content/mime.

In existing 3GPP IMS standard, when the calling and called terminal is carried out session negotiation by the IMS network, calling terminal sends session by the IMS network to terminal called and sets up request message, this request is adopted sip message and is carried session ability information, and this request is through the processing of the network entity in the IMS network.Network entity in the IMS network is transmitted to terminal called with this request, when the session ability information that terminal called carries according to this request judge self do not support the professional ability of calling terminal after, return to network entity or calling terminal error response message in the IMS network, network entity in the IMS network or calling terminal are received negotiation and the conversion of carrying out calling and called terminal traffic ability after the error response message again.

Professional ability described here refers to IMS network of network entity or calling and called terminal required various abilities that possess when realizing business, such as coding/decoding capability, multimedia processing capability, media parameter ability and application program etc., session ability information refers to the description to professional ability, be described such as the method that can use Session Description Protocol (SDP) regulation, can also use that in message body XML voice and SCRIPT method are described etc.

Fig. 1 assists two flow charts for the media parameter ability of existing IMS regulation and stipulation, the network entity that this flow process comprises has: S-CSCF#1, the terminal called UE2 under P-CSCF#1, the UE1 under calling terminal UE1, the UE1, the P-CSCF#2 under the terminal called UE2 and the S-CSCF#1 under the UE1, and its detailed process is:

Step 101, UE1 have increased coding parameter in the load of SDP, coding parameter has reflected the professional ability of UE1 and the coding parameter of expecting in session.

Step 102, set up in the request (INVITE) in session that UE1 sends and to have carried SDP, issue P-CSCF#1.

Step 103, P-CSCF#1 check the media parameter information of describing among the SDP, if owing to local policy reason or QoS mandate reason, P-CSCF#1 can not allow media parameter information to use in session, just refuses the negotiation of professional ability.In refuse information, can comprise enough information and be notified to UE1, so that UE1 initiates session negotiation next time according to these information.

Step 104, P-CSCF#1 allow media parameter information to use in session, and P-CSCF#1 is transmitted to S-CSCF#1 with INVITE.

Step 105, S-CSCF#1 are checked the media parameter information of describing among the SDP, if signatory owing to local policy reason or UE1, S-CSCF#1 can not allow media parameter information to use in session, just refuses the negotiation of professional ability.In refuse information, can comprise enough information and be notified to UE1, so that UE1 initiates session negotiation next time according to these information.

Step 106, S-CSCF#1 allow media parameter information to use in session, and S-CSCF#1 is transmitted to S-CSCF#2 with INVITE.

Step 107, S-CSCF#2 are checked the media parameter information of describing among the SDP, if signatory owing to local policy reason or UE2, S-CSCF#2 can not allow media parameter information to use in session, just refuses the negotiation of professional ability.In refuse information, can comprise enough information and be notified to UE1, so that UE1 initiates session negotiation next time according to these information.

Step 108, S-CSCF#2 allow media parameter information to use in session, and S-CSCF#2 is transmitted to P-CSCF#2 with INVITE.

Step 109, P-CSCF#2 check the media parameter information of describing among the SDP, if owing to local policy reason or QoS mandate, P-CSCF#2 can not allow media parameter information to use in session, just refuses the negotiation of professional ability.In refuse information, can comprise enough information and be notified to UE1, so that UE1 initiates session negotiation next time according to these information.

At this moment P-CSCF#2 generates authorization token (Authorization-Token).

Step 110, P-CSCF#2 allow media parameter information to use in session, and P-CSCF#2 is transmitted to UE#2 with INVITE, and authorization token is included among the INVITE.

One group of complete coding of session is finished in step 111, UE#2 decision, common factor with coded message among the SDP of contrast in message, just on the port numbers of this media description, be not made as 0 if which kind of medium is not supported, distribute a port numbers inserting on the port numbers of the media description of support media.

Step 112, UE2 return the SDP response to P-CSCF#2, i.e. the description of group media stream and coding.

Step 113, P-CSCF#2 authorize the QoS resource that keeps these Media Streams and coding.

Step 114, P-CSCF#2 transmit SDP and respond to S-CSCF#2.

Step 115, S-CSCF#2 transmit SDP and respond to S-CSCF#1.

Step 116, S-CSCF#1 transmit SDP and respond to P-CSCF#1.

Step 117, P-CSCF#1 authorize the QoS resource that keeps these Media Streams and coding.

Step 118, authorization token are included in the SDP description, and P-CSCF transmits SDP and responds to UE#1.

Which Media Stream step 119, UE1 decision use in session, which coding parameter the UE1 decision uses in Media Stream.If can select more than a kind of Media Stream in a session, if perhaps can select more than a kind of coding parameter in a Media Stream, UE1 needs to consult to reduce to one with the quantity with coding parameter with UE2 once more so.

Step 120～124, UE1 send the SDP (offered SDP) of proposal to UE2.

Make and can consult the coding parameter that obtains being used in this way in the session negotiation process in session, this coding parameter is the professional ability that the calling and called terminal is consulted.

In the process of session negotiation, the request whether network entity is accepted to consult according to reason decisions such as contracting of local policy, Quality of Service mandate or user, if network entity refusal session negotiation, just return refusal response, and in the response of refusal, provide enough information to offer calling terminal to make calling terminal decision how carrying out session negotiation next time.

Fig. 2 sets up the flow chart of the signaling moiety intercepting of MPTY session by the IMS network for prior art calling and called terminal.The IMS network entity that this flow process relates to comprises: the AS in S-CSCF, the IMS network, provide the MRF of IMS network media resource, its concrete steps are:

Step 200, calling terminal UE1 ask to the INVITE that S-CSCF sends the session ability information that carries UE1, and service identification is carried in this request, is used to identify the type of service of this service request.

Step 201, S-CSCF return to UE1 and receive this INVITE request responding, i.e. 100Trying message.

For each INVITE request, the response of a 100Trying message all can be arranged, Fig. 2 does not identify in following flow process.

Step 202, the S-CSCF service identification that request is carried according to INVITE determine to handle the AS of this service request, and the INVITE request of carrying the session ability information of UE1 is transmitted to determined AS.

Step 203, AS return the INVITE request responding and give S-CSCF.

The INVITE request that step 204, S-CSCF will carry the session ability information of UE1 sends to terminal called UE2.

The session ability information of step 205, the UE2 UE1 that request is carried according to INVITE, judge self and do not support the professional ability of UE1, return to S-CSCF and carry the error message of the session ability information that UE2 supports, this error message represents not support the UE1 professional ability, be 606 Response (Not Acceptable, UA SDP) in the 3GPP IMS standard.

Step 206, S-CSCF send the affirmation message that receives error message, i.e. ACK message to UE2.

Step 207, S-CSCF transmit error message to AS, i.e. 606-2 message.

After step 208, the AS that receives error message carry out the judgement of professional ability conversion, judge and to carry out the conversion of professional ability, change step 209 over to.

Step 209, AS return the affirmation message that receives error message, i.e. ACK-2 message to S-CSCF.

Step 210, AS send the INVITE request of carrying the session ability information that UE2 supports to S-CSCF, and the SDP of this UE2 is obtained from the error message of the session ability information that carries UE2 and support by AS.

The INVITE request that step 211, S-CSCF will carry the SDP of UE2 support is transmitted to MRF.

Step 212, MRF judge according to the session ability information that the media resource of self the storing UE2 that request is carried to INVITE supports, judge the session ability information that UE2 supports that the INVITE request is carried, transmission is carried the message of this INVITE of affirmation request of media parameter to S-CSCF, promptly carries the 200OK response of media parameter.

Step 213～214, S-CSCF send to AS with the 200OK response, and AS returns to the affirmation message that S-CSCF receives this 200OK message, i.e. ACK-3 message.

Step 215, S-CSCF return the affirmation message of receiving this 200OK message, i.e. ACK-3 message to MRF.

Step 216, determine that the data of being transmitted between UE1 and the UE2 all will be carried out the conversion of professional ability according to the professional ability that SDP and UE2 supported that UE1 supported after, continue to carry out the follow-up session step of setting up according to 3GPP IMS standard, between UE1 and UE2, set up session.

From Fig. 1 and the described scheme of Fig. 2 as can be seen, in the process of carrying out the calling and called terminal capability negotiation, when not supporting the professional ability of calling terminal or professional ability that the network entity on the session negotiation transmission path is not supported calling terminal, terminal called can not send error message, after the network entity on the session negotiation transmission path or calling terminal receive the error message of terminal called, can carry out the service capability negotiation between the calling and called terminal again, finish the session of this calling and called terminal.

Because terminal called returns error response message to calling terminal when receiving that the session request of setting up can not be set up session, and notifies the reason that can not accept session and consult, calling terminal carries out session negotiation again according to the prompting of error response message.Calling terminal after receiving error response message, consultation business service ability again between the calling and called terminal again, the time delay that this can cause session to set up, thereby influence quality of the conversation between the calling and called terminal.Further, in some service application based on the IMS network, such as: based on the PTT (PoC of cellular network, PTT over Cellular) business, the time delay of setting up for session has strict requirement, when terminal called returns error message, the ability of consultation business service again between the calling and called terminal again, this has increased the time delay that session is handled, and has reduced the satisfaction that the user uses, and development in the IMS network has caused obstruction to PoC service for this.

Further, multimedia application development along with the packet switching network of dialogue-based initiation protocol (SIP), the foundation that a plurality of network entities participate in session simultaneously can appear, a plurality of network entities provide the situation of a business jointly, for example by different media resource processing entities difference processing audio and video media, at this moment the media parameter of bearing description by the SDP agreement may comprise a plurality of network entities of different operators network of the service that participates in or the media formats and the coding parameter of terminal, all will increase to some extent in quantity with on the kind.But the describing method that existing SDP agreement is supported, the description to medium to separate sources just can not distinguish in the description of SDP agreement to media parameter, and the SIP that uses the recipient of session negotiation is not supported in yet and carries the demand that a plurality of different SDP from heterogeneous networks entity or terminal describe in the sip message body.The demand that these display along with technical development, all making needs technically priority and attribute to the session ability information of a session describing to define, and SIP is carried out necessary expansion to the use of session ability information.

Summary of the invention

In view of this, main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of session ability information method of operating of carrying out, and this method can be simplified the process of calling and called terminal carrying out service capability negotiation, thereby reduces the time delay that session is set up.Further, this method can also be simplified the service capability negotiation process when the SIP network provides PoC service, reduce the time delay that session is set up.

Concrete implication about the media parameter of session ability information piece can be with reference to RFC 2327 standards.

In the media-level parametric description, the present invention uses a parameter, has increased media parameter ownership attribute, media parameter type and media parameter priority definition.

Media parameter ownership attribute definition is the network entity or the terminal at this media parameter place.The form of definition is:

a*＝belong：<value＝which?entity?belong?to>

Wherein, belong can be for the network at the network at the terminal point of session, session initiator place, message receiver place or/and the network at controlling party place etc., concrete definition can be that endpoint, originationnetwork, termination network are or/and focus network.Wherein endpoint is expressed as the media parameter that the calling party provides; Origination network represents the media parameter that calling party place network provides; Termination network represents the media parameter that callee place network provides; The media parameter that focus network sign place, session control side network provides.

The media parameter priority attribute is defined as the priority level ordering of media parameter that network provides, and illustrates, and the more little priority of numeral is high more between the regulation 0-n.The form of regulation can be:

a*＝priority：<value＝priority?property?from?0?to?n>

Priority is the value from 0-n.On behalf of this media parameter, parameter 0 belong to provide the preferential class media parameter of supporting of professional institute, and belongs to the most frequently used media parameter, and the media parameter of parameter 0 can be one or more, is the media parameter of network entity recommendation.Parameter 1 representative, except the media parameter of recommending, other media parameter that network provides.

A plurality of media parameter of it should be noted that the session ability information piece can be regarded as the interior a plurality of media parameter of a group.Because in the RFC 3388 that describes media parameter grouping definition, the group of acquiescence is unique in the session ability information piece, so expand on this basis, makes to comprise a plurality of media parameter groups in the session ability information piece.

When comprising a plurality of media parameter group in the session ability information piece, media parameter ownership attribute and priority attribute can be that the unit defines with the media parameter group.Can be at a=group:＜next line just add media parameter group ownership attribute and priority attribute.As:

a＝group：LS?12

a＝belong：<>

a＝priority：<>

m＝audio?30000?RTP/AVP?0

a＝mid：1

m＝video?30002?RTP/AVP?31

a＝mid：2

m＝audio?30004?RTP/AVP?0

i＝This?media?stream?contains?the?Spanish?translation

Medium ownership attribute and the using method of priority of calling party in the message body of conversation message is as described below.

The calling party is the promoter of session, send in the session ability information piece that session sets up request message at network to its place, carried the media parameter of session initiator's expectation, in media parameter, except normal media parameter attribute, also comprised media parameter ownership attribute (a=belong:endpoint), because the media parameter that the session ability information piece carries has only one or one group, so do not need to carry priority attribute.

Network side is as described below to the using method of ownership attribute of the media parameter in the message body of conversation message and priority.

Network side adds media parameter ownership attribute and priority attribute can be divided into three part execution, promptly adds at the network at calling party place, the network at controlling party place and the network at callee place respectively.This three subnetwork can add the media parameter of place network support respectively, the also media parameter that can provide this network to support by some networks, and the schematic diagram of network is as shown in Figure 6.

After the network at calling party place receives that request message is set up in session, handle according to the content that the normal flow of IMS standard is set up in the request message session, the professional ability that calling party place network can be supported joins session and sets up in the request message in addition.At this moment the session ability information piece that request message is set up in session has been added into a plurality of or many group medias parameter, and session initiator place network need be provided with media parameter ownership attribute and priority attribute for a plurality of or many group medias parameter.

At this moment, comprise the calling party media parameter in the session ability information piece, increased a=belong:endpoint and a=priority:0; Media parameter a=belong:origination network and a=priority:0 that one or more calling partys place network is recommended have been comprised; The media parameter a=belong:origination network and the a=priority:1 that have comprised one or more calling partys place network support.

Calling party place network is handled session according to the normal flow of IMS standard and is set up request message.

After the network at professional controlling party place receives that request message is set up in session, handle according to the content that the normal flow of IMS standard is set up in the request message session, the professional ability that professional controlling party place network can be supported joins in the session foundation request in addition.At this moment the session ability information piece that request message is set up in session has been added into a plurality of or many group medias parameter, and controlling party place network need be provided with media parameter ownership attribute and priority attribute for a plurality of or many group medias parameter that adds.

At this moment, comprised media parameter a=belong:focus network and the a=priority:0 that one or more controlling parties place network is recommended in the session ability information piece; The media parameter a=belong:focus network and the a=priority:1 that have comprised the place network support of one or more controlling parties.Need to prove, under a part of application scenarios such as PoC service, the network at the network at calling party place and controlling party place can be same network, promptly the network at PoC server (Controlling) place be the network at calling party place be again the network at controlling party place.

Controlling party place network is handled session according to the normal flow of IMS standard and is set up request message.

After the network at callee place receives that request is set up in session, handle according to the content that the normal flow of IMS standard is set up in the request session, the professional ability that callee place network can be supported joins in the session foundation request in addition.At this moment the SDP description that request is set up in session has been added into a plurality of or many group medias parameter, and message receiver place network need be provided with media parameter ownership attribute and priority attribute for a plurality of or many group medias parameter.Because the judgement of priority is made on AS, and other network entities can't be determined the priority of current media parameter, so can think that the standard of the priority that AS judges is unified and can not clashes.

At this moment, comprised media parameter a=belong:termination network and the a=priority:0 that one or more callees place network is recommended in the session ability information piece; The media parameter a=belong:termination network and the a=priority:1 that have comprised one or more callees place network support.

Callee place network is handled session according to the normal flow of IMS standard and is set up request message.

The process that adds the media parameter of network side support in call setup request message can be selectable, and the network at the network at calling party place, controlling party place and the network at callee place all can select whether to add the media parameter that present networks is supported.Judging whether to add the condition of present networks institute support media parameter, can be business need etc.
