Background technology
Network based on soft switch is the next generation communication network (NGN) that proposes after 3G, and it can provide miscellaneous services such as comprising speech, data and multimedia based on open network architecture.Different with traditional network with the technology driving, the network based on soft switch of future generation is the network by business-driven, and its feature is business is separated with calling control, calls out to control and separates with carrying.Business no longer is limited by network carrying type and control mode like this, being convenient to third party's business and novel business inserts fast, terminal can dispose and customize the business of oneself voluntarily simultaneously, makes business really be independent of network, for providing new business to create advantage fast, flexibly, efficiently.
Fig. 1 is the system construction drawing of existing network based on soft switch.As can be seen from Figure 1, the network based on soft switch can be divided into following four layers from network layer: Access Layer, core exchange layer, network control layer and operation layer.
Soft switch (SoftSwitch) equipment is the controlled function entity of next generation network (NGN), and the business that has the real-time requirement for next generation network (NGN) provides calling control and connection control function, is that next generation network is called out and the core of controlling.Softswitch is mainly used in network control layer, finishes functions such as the calling control of voice based on the IP packet network, data, multimedia service and connection management, network resource management, authentication.
(Media Gateway MG) is positioned at Access Layer to media gateway, is playing the part of important role in NGN, and any business all needs media gateway to realize under the control of Softswitch.Media gateway is responsible for the comprehensive access of various terminals or various access networks, such as PSTN, ISDN, ADSL, V5 and 3G network access etc., is " interface gateway " that terminal or terminal network insert the core Media layer.
The network of soft switch operation layer in application server is arranged, in application server, comprise a framework and a plurality of service capability server (SCS), the SCS application server is one or more Service Capability Features (SCF), abstract to function that network provided just, be used to higher layer applications that the ability of accesses network resource and information is provided, in SCS, include charge system SCF, be used for terminal call is chargeed.
Aspect the mobile management of NGN network, the roaming of NGN network support terminal provides the registering functional and the mobile management of terminal, and identification terminal information and set up terminal database is for roaming terminal provides the mechanism of the seamless handoff under heterogeneous networks and the access technology.
To the requirement of mobile management have following some:
Be independent of access network technology: NGN will be by constituting based on the core net of IP technology and the access network of use different access technologies, so require mobile management and access technology to have nothing to do;
