Embodiment
Channel handoff procedure in the embodiment of the invention can be that user terminal is initiated as required temporarily, perhaps also can be the strategy according to user terminal or network, has set after regularly channel is watched, and the channel of being initiated by network side or user terminal switches.
For making the object of the invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, to further explain of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the exemplary process diagram of the report method of embodiment of the invention mid band switching result.As shown in Figure 1, this flow process comprises the steps:
Step 101, channel switching result report entity to obtain the channel switching result of user terminal.
When the channel switching takes place; User terminal sends channel switch request to basic forwarding capability/basic control function entity (EFF/ECF); EFF/ECF carries out scope check according to the channel authority information of the user terminal that obtains to the channel switch request from user terminal.If scope check passes through, the multicast data flow data that the port that then user terminal is belonged to duplicates new channel supply user terminal to receive new Media Stream.It is thus clear that user terminal and EFF/ECF all can be known channel switching result, so the channel switching result in the present embodiment reports process that following two kinds of situation can be arranged:
Situation one: it is user terminal that channel switching result reports entity.Be that user terminal directly reports SCF with the channel switching result of self.During concrete the realization; When user terminal to send up was given SCF, other network entity also can be passed through in the centre, but other network entity can carry out transparent transmission by a channel switching result with user terminal; And do not process, therefore can be called for short is that user terminal directly reports SCF with the channel switching result of self.Also can there be similar situation in following situation in the present embodiment.
Situation two: it is P-CSCF that channel switching result reports entity, and then the P-CSCF mode of obtaining the channel switching result of user terminal can have two kinds.Mode one: P-CSCF obtains that user terminal reports after channel switch to be accomplished the channel switching result of self; Mode two: P-CSCF obtains the channel switching result of the user terminal of being accepted that EFF/ECF that RACS transmits reports.Mode three: P-CSCF obtains the channel switching result of the user terminal of being accepted that EFF/ECF reports.Respectively above-mentioned three kinds of modes are described in detail below.
Mode one: user terminal reports P-CSCF with the channel switching result of self after accomplishing the channel switching.
Give the correct time on concrete, user terminal can report by dialogue-based initializtion protocol (SIP).And can be after accomplishing the channel switching, directly the channel switching result with self reports P-CSCF; Perhaps also can after accomplishing channel and switching, start preset timer, and before this timer expiry, not carry out new channel when switching, self channel switching result is reported P-CSCF.Further, before this timer expiry, carried out new channel and switched, then restarted timer, and before this timer expiry, do not carried out new channel when switching, self channel switching result has been reported P-CSCF.
Mode two: EFF/ECF reports RACS with the channel switching result of the user terminal of being accepted, and by RACS the channel switching result of user terminal is reported P-CSCF.
Wherein, when EFF/ECF reported RACS with the channel switching result of the user terminal of being accepted, after can switching at the channel at accepted user terminal, the channel switching result with user terminal reported RACS immediately; Perhaps also can be after the channel at accepted user terminal switches, start preset timer, and when before this timer expiry, not receiving the new channel switch request of said user terminal, the channel switching result of user terminal is reported RACS.
Further; Before this timer expiry, receive the channel switch request that this user terminal is new; Then restart timer, and when before this timer expiry, not receiving the new handoff request of said user terminal, the channel switching result of user terminal is sent to RACS.

Further; Before this timer expiry, receive the channel switching result that this user terminal is new; Then restart timer, and when before this timer expiry, not receiving the new channel switching result of said user terminal, the channel switching result of user terminal is reported P-CSCF.
Wherein, user terminal is initiated channel switch request based on Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).
Mode three: EFF/ECF directly reports P-CSCF with the channel switching result of the user terminal of being accepted.
Wherein, when EFF/ECF reported P-CSCF with the channel switching result of the user terminal of being accepted, after can switching at the channel at accepted user terminal, the channel switching result with user terminal reported P-CSCF immediately; Perhaps also can be after the channel at accepted user terminal switches, start preset timer, and when before this timer expiry, not receiving the new channel switch request of said user terminal, the channel switching result of user terminal is reported P-CSCF.
Further; Before this timer expiry, receive the channel switch request that this user terminal is new; Then restart timer, and when before this timer expiry, not receiving the new handoff request of said user terminal, the channel switching result of user terminal is sent to P-CSCF.
Wherein, user terminal is initiated channel switch request based on Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).
Step 102, channel switching result report entity that the channel switching result of the user terminal that is received is reported SCF.
In this step, specifically report process to be: channel switching result reports entity to give SCF with the channel switching result of the user terminal that is received through issue (PUBLISH) message in the Session Initiation Protocol or information (Info) message or instant (Message) information reporting.
Perhaps; If it is not unique in the group network system professional SCF being provided; And centrally may pass through a plurality of application servers; SCF then in order to guarantee that channel switching result information can arrive provides professional; Can be reported the channel handover event of entity subscribes user terminal in the present embodiment by SCF in advance to channel switching result, then in this step, channel switching result reports entity can the channel switching result of the user terminal that is received be reported the SCF of the channel handover event of having subscribed to user terminal.Specifically report process the channel switching result of the user terminal that is received to be given the SCF of the channel handover event of having subscribed to user terminal through the Notify information reporting in the Session Initiation Protocol for: channel switching result reports entity.

Step 1009, P-CSCF notifies the channel switching result of user terminal to SCF through notice (Notify) message.
Step 1010, SCF returns the 200OK response message.
Step 1011, SCF charges according to the result that channel switches, statistics, the presence service judges whether operations such as initiatively initiation session change.
Example seven:
It is P-CSCF that channel switching result in this example system reports entity, and EFF/ECF starts preset timer before P-CSCF reports channel switching result.Figure 11 shows the report flow sketch map of example seven mid band switching results of the present invention.Shown in figure 11, this flow process comprises the steps:
Step 1101, live telecast (LTV) session are set up and are accomplished.
Step 1102 user terminal is initiated the channel handover operation, sends IGMP message to ECF/EFF, wherein carries the multicast address of new channel, and promptly user terminal sends channel switch request to ECF/EFF.
Step 1103 to step 1104, ECF/EFF carries out scope check according to the user's who obtains channel authority information to user's channel switch request.If scope check passes through, the multicast data flow data that the port that then user terminal is belonged to duplicates new channel, user terminal receives new Media Stream.
Step 1105 to step 1106, ECF/EFF opening timing device when before timer expiry, not receiving the new switching result of user terminal, reports the channel switching result of this user terminal to give P-CSCF.
Step 1107, P-CSCF notifies the channel switching result of user terminal to SCF through PUBLISH or MESSAGE message or INFO.
Step 1108, SCF returns the 200OK response message.
Step 1109, SCF charges according to the result that channel switches, statistics, the presence service judges whether operations such as initiatively initiation session change.
Example eight:
In some cases, when switching has caused the variation of resources such as QoS, bandwidth like channel, need come the initiatively modification process of initiation session, invite with the transmission of satisfying the new channel content by SCF.Figure 12 shows the report flow of example eight mid band switching results of the present invention and the schematic flow sheet that SCF active initiation session is revised.Shown in figure 12, this flow process comprises the steps:
Step 1201, the LTV session is set up normally.
Step 1202, the LTV Media Stream normally is submitted to the terminal use.
Step 1203, user terminal is initiated the handoff procedure of channel, and SCF has been known the switching result of channel.
Concrete implementation procedure in this step can promptly comprise situation cited in example one to the example four for any situation of describing in the step 101 shown in Figure 1.
Step 1204, SCF judges that the QoS behind the switching channels changes, and needs the change procedure of initiation session.
Step 1205, SCF initiates heavily to invite (Reinvite) or upgrade the change that (Update) message is carried out session, agreement request (SDP Offer) information of wherein carrying Session Description Protocol.
Step 1206, P-CSCF transmits Reinvite or Update message is given user terminal.
Step 1207, P-CSCF carries out resource reservation according to the SDP Offer information requirements RACS that receives.
Step 1208, UE returns 200OK, and (SDPAnswer) information is replied in the negotiation of carrying Session Description Protocol.
Step 1209, P-CSCF carries out resource reservation according to the SDP Answer information requirements RACS that receives.
Step 1210, P-CSCF sends 200OK message and gives SCF.
