Description

A kind of decision method of voice call continuity technology call, system and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, particularly a kind of decision method of voice call continuity technology call, system and device.
Background technology
2G/3G (2nd Generation/3rd Generation, second generation mobile communication technology/3G (Third Generation) Moblie technology) network can be regarded a kind of comprehensive covering as to a certain extent through for many years deployment; Along with SAE (System Architecture Evolution, System Architecture Evolution)/LTE (Long TermEvolution, Long Term Evolution); HSPA (High Speed Packet Access; High-speed packet inserts), HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Evolution, high-speed packet inserts evolution) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access; Micro-wave access global inter communication) development of internet technology; These network-covereds are to some cities and traffic hot zones, and in present communication network, these networks and 2G/3G network are also deposited.For the purpose of describing conveniently, PS (PacketSwitched, packet switching) will only be provided the SAE/LTE in territory, HSPA, HSPA+, WiMAX etc. are referred to as pure PS territory network.
To the various network carrying mechanism, can the audio call of mobile communication be divided into following several types:
The first kind is the session service that carry in CS (Circuit Service, circuit domain business) territory, like voice call;
Second type is the session service that carry in the PS territory; Be also referred to as VoIP (Voice over IP; The Voice over IP technology) type business provides QoS (Quality of Service by IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IP multimedia service subsystem); Service quality) guarantee, like the voice call of IP carrying.
Audio call can only carry transmission in the PS territory of pure PS network, and IMS controls audio call through IP-based network.In the 2G/3G network, audio call generally all is to be carried on the CS territory.
The user who makes a call is in the call process; Might cross over a plurality of networks, because the difference of load-bearing of mobile telecommunication business mechanism causes moving out pure PS territory network base station institute coverage as UE; When getting into the 2G/3G network base station area of coverage; Being interrupted of IMS audio call may occur, thereby influence the continuity that user speech is called out, vice versa
In order to address the above problem; Guarantee the continuity that user speech is called out; Adopt SRVCC (SingleRadio Voice Call Continuity, single Radio Link continuous voice call technology) technical scheme to solve the continuity problem that is carried on the IMS audio call on the network of pure PS territory and is carried on audio call between the CS territory at present.
Prior art it is generally acknowledged in the SRVCC technical scheme by Access Network and is judged whether the start VCC territory transfer process of (Voice Call Continuity, continuous voice call technology).Having only a calling is that VCC calls out that just possibly utilize should technology, and so-called VCC calls out and is meant that an audio call is anchored on the VCC AS of IMS (Voice Call Continuity Application Server, voice continuity application server).Therefore, how to judge that whether a calling is the prerequisite that VCC audio call and the technical scheme of notifying Access Network to be based on SRVCC realize voice continuity.
Prior art provides judges the VCC audio call and notifies the method for Access Network to be by CSCF (CallSession Control Function; The CSCF body) judge an audio call whether be VCC call out and with the result through PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function; Strategy and charging rule functions body) and EPC (Envolved Packet Core, the packet core of evolution) notify the Access Network of SAE/LTE.This is to realize in the SAE/LTE network that VCC calls out a kind of implementation method of judging and notifying Access Network.
But there are three defectives in this method:
(1) it is many to relate to the network entity of modification, comprises CSCF, PCRF, MME (MobilityManagement Entity, mobile management network element), the PDN GW (Packet Data NetworkGateway, grouped data network gateway) of IMS, realizes complicated;
(2) only consider the realization of SAE/LTE network, do not provided the implementation method of other pure PS territory network;
(3) do not consider the judgement and the Notification Method of CS territory VCC audio call in the 2G/3G network.
Therefore; The shortcoming of prior art is: the technical scheme that existing VCC calls out judgement and notice Access Network implements more complicated; And do not provide the implementation method of other pure PS territory network, do not have the judgement and the Notification Method of CS territory VCC audio call in the 2G/3G network yet.And prior art is not provided in the handoff procedure yet and notifies the method to target access network with the VCC calling indication message, can't guarantee the realization of SRVCC technology in follow-up handoff procedure.

Since when having only a calling to be the VCC calling, could be by SRVCC technical scheme of the prior art, the continuity of voice when switching between different networks to be implemented in.Therefore; In order to realize the continuity of voice; Will judge at first that for an audio call whether it be that VCC calls out, to Access Network, be the territory transfer process of switching between follow-up possible different networks technology when taking place notice UE startup VCC by Access Network based on the result notification of judging.Hence one can see that, judges that VCC calls out and the notice Access Network is the important prerequisite that the SRVCC technical scheme is achieved.And the source Access Network will be called out court verdict with VCC and notify the purpose Access Network in handoff procedure, is achieved in follow-up switching to guarantee the SRVCC technology.
According to prior art, whether the audio call that IMS carries anchors to the strategy decision of VCC AS by operator.Default strategy is, when all VCC contracted user callers and called audio call all anchor to VCCAS, could make follow-up territory transfer process to realize.The language that carry in the CS territory is professional, and no matter caller still is called, whether anchors to VCC AS and then can only be determined by carrier policy.For this reason, the audio call that carries of embodiment of the invention audio call that will carry IMS and CS territory is distinguished and is treated.
For describing for simplicity, the embodiment of the invention abbreviates the audio call that IMS carries as the IMS audio call, and the audio call that the CS territory is carried abbreviates the CS audio call as.
The embodiment of the invention is judged the IMS audio call and is notified the method for Access Network to be limited to the wireless network of 3GPP; Be GSM (Global System for Mobile communications; Global system for mobile communications)/GPRS (General Packet Radio Service; General packet radio service)/EDGE (EnhancedData Rate for GSM Evolution; The GSM evolution of enhancing data rate), WCDMA (WidebandCode Division Multiple Access, WCDMA inserts)/HSPA/HSPA+, SAE/LTE.The embodiment of the invention judges whether an IMS audio call is that VCC calls out, and based on default VCC strategy, i.e. when caller or called IMS audio call user were the VCC contracted user, then this IMS audio call should anchor to VCC AS.But, in order to make follow-up VCC territory transfer process to be achieved, also should consider the ability of UE, the UE that promptly only has the VCC ability can realize the follow-up VCC territory transfer process that possibly carry out.According to current 3GPP (the 3rd Generation Partner Project; Third generation partner program) protocol specification; The core network entity that in the SAE/LTE network, can obtain user signing contract information and UE ability (comprising the VCC ability) simultaneously is MME (Mobility ManagementEntity, a mobile management entity), in 2G/3G; Be SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node, service GPRS support node).Therefore, judge that whether the IMS audio call is that VCC calls out and should be core network entity MME (SAE/LTE network) or SGSN (2G/3G) according to the network entity of UE ability notice Access Network.
In embodiments of the present invention, the UE ability comprises the VCC ability of UE.
For caller CS audio call; MSC (Mobile Switching Center; Mobile switching centre) can judge whether this caller CS audio call is anchored on the VCC AS at the establishment stage of audio call, can judge promptly whether a caller CS audio call is that VCC calls out.According to the protocol specification of current 3GPP, also can obtain the UE ability at the establishment stage MSC of audio call, therefore, judge that whether caller CS audio call is that VCC calls out and should be core network entity MSC according to the network entity of UE ability notice Access Network.
For called CS audio call, be the CS territory core network entity MSC, access network entity, or UE can't obtain the information whether this called CS audio call anchors to VCC AS through the prior protocols standard.According to the prior protocols standard; The entity that can obtain the UE ability at called CS audio call establishment stage or after setting up comprises MSC and UE; Therefore; In order to reduce the modification to the existing protocol standard, the embodiment of the invention selects MSC or UE to obtain the information whether called CS audio call anchors to VCC AS through the protocol specification of revising.
In handoff procedure, the source Access Network should be that the information that VCC calls out is notified target access network with an audio call, makes follow-up VCC territory conversion can carry out to guarantee that voice continuity is achieved.
The decision method that the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of VCC to call out; Pass through the embodiment of the invention; Under the different bearer situation of audio call; Call out determination information according to the VCC that obtains and judge that whether an audio call is that VCC calls out, and send the VCC calling indication message to access network entity, is achieved in follow-up handoff procedure to guarantee the SRVCC technical scheme.
As shown in Figure 1, the flow chart of the decision method of calling out for embodiment of the invention VCC specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step S101 obtains VCC and calls out determination information.This VCC calls out determination information and comprises the ability of UE and user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information etc.In embodiments of the present invention, obtain VCC by core network entity and call out determination information.The audio call of mentioning in the embodiment of the invention comprises IMS audio call, caller CS audio call and called audio call.When a calling is called CS audio call, also can call out determination information by the VCC that UE obtain this audio call.
Step S102 calls out determination information according to VCC and judges whether a calling is that VCC calls out.Call out determination information according to the VCC that obtains, whether core network entity is that VCC calls out with regard to calling of decidable.When a calling is called CS audio call, also can calls out determination information according to the VCC that obtains and judge whether a calling be that VCC calls out by UE.
Step S103 is if then send the VCC calling indication message to access network entity.Judging that a calling is that core network entity sent the VCC calling indication message to access network entity after VCC called out, this audio call of notice access network entity is that VCC calls out, so that follow-up SRVCC technical scheme is achieved.Equally, when a calling is called CS audio call, also can in the response message that sends to access network entity, carry the VCC calling indication message by UE, be that VCC calls out to inform this audio call of access network entity.In the audio call process; When owing to reasons such as the mobility of UE and load balancing; When the switching between wireless access system inside or the wireless access system takes place in UE; For the VCC process can be able to carry out and guarantee the continuity of voice, the source access network entity just can be carried the VCC calling indication message in switching message, is that VCC calls out with this audio call of notification target access network entity.
The decision method that above-mentioned VCC calls out; Under different voice call bearer situation; Call out determination information according to the VCC that obtains, core network entity or UE just can judge that whether a calling is that VCC calls out, and notify access network entity with result of determination; Thereby making Access Network possibly control UE carries out and the relevant measurement of VCC territory conversion; And in follow-up handoff procedure, give target access network with this indication notice, make follow-up VCC territory conversion to carry out, thus guarantee IMS carry with the carrying of CS territory between the continuity of audio call.
The embodiment of the invention one provides whether IMS audio call of a kind of judgement is that VCC calls out, and the method for notice access network entity, the VCC calling indication message is sent to access network entity, and the MME/SGSN of core net need make following judgement:
(1), judges whether a calling is audio call according to qos parameter;
(2) judge according to the UE ability whether UE has the VCC ability;
(3) according to default VCC strategy, promptly the VCC contracted user judges from the user signing contract information of HSS/HLR whether this IMS audio call anchors to VCC AS.
