IMS is based on the communication network framework of IP, irrelevant with access technology, except being GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, abbreviate GPRS as), WLAN (wireless local area network) (Wireless Local Area Network, abbreviate WLAN as) etc. packet access network provide outside the business, can also be global system for mobile communications (Global Systemfor Mobile communications, abbreviate GSM as), unified mobile communcations system mobile cellular networks such as (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System abbreviate UMTS as) provides professional.
Urgent call (Emergency Call) is distinctive a kind of speech business function in the mobile communication system.As long as subscriber equipment (User Equipment, abbreviate UE as) in the zone that the mobile network covers, even the subscriber identification module of insertion (SIM) or be provided with region limits, restriction is breathed out, the user can initiate urgent call by dialing emergency numbers (as: 110,119,911 etc.); The urgent call meeting is transferred to corresponding EC (PSAP, Public Safety Answering Point), as police office, fire brigade, first-aid centre etc., provided 24 hours emergency assistance services for the user by EC.The operation of whole emergencycallboxsystem is finished by the common cooperation of emergency services such as telecom operators and public security, fire-fighting, hospital.
Generally speaking, urgent call all is middle the realization in circuit switching (Circuit Switch abbreviates CS as) territory (also can abbreviate circuit domain as); At present, along with the IPization of network, packet switching (Packet Switch abbreviates PS as) territory also begins to support emergence call service, and carries out call signaling by IMS and control and realize urgent call on the PS territory.Usually, the emergence call service that provides of IMS territory can abbreviate the IMS urgent call as.
Fig. 1 is that the packet domain (Evolved PS abbreviates EPS as) in evolution inserts down IMS emergencycallboxsystem structural framing schematic diagram.In this system, include: in order to the network element of system architecture evolution (System ArchitectureEvolution the abbreviates SAE as) network portion of bearer management that bottom is provided and mobile management; In order to policy and charging control (Policy andCharging Control the abbreviates PCC as) network element partly of setting up efficient strategy, chargeing and control at bottom bearing bed and upper-layer service layer; With thinking that urgent call provides positioning service (LocationService, LCS) network element of the address of location-based service and public safety response point (be also referred to as urgency communication and accept the center) (PublicSafety Answering Point abbreviates PSAP as); In order to control and to handle the part network element of the IMS urgency traffic of emergency call session.
Wherein, as shown in Figure 1, the network element of EPS part comprises: the wireless base station of evolution (eNodeB), the control appliance of the main interface-free resources of follow-on wireless access network, can provide higher up-downgoing speed, lower transmission delay and reliable more wireless transmission; Mobile management entity (Mobility Management Entity, abbreviate MME as), be used for management and storage UE context (such as the UE/ user ID, mobility management states, user security parameters etc.), for the user distributes temporary mark, when quartering at this tracing area or this network, is responsible for UE this user is carried out authentication; Network (GateWay, abbreviate GW as), the data route that is used for the process user face, be divided into gateway (Serving Gateway, abbreviate S-GW as) and packet data network gateway (Packet Data Network Gateway, abbreviate P-GW as), S-GW is mobile anchor point between EPS system and traditional 3GPP system and the mobile anchor point between the eNodeB, P-GW mainly is responsible for the downlink data that termination is in the UE of idle state, when the downlink data that mails to UE arrives, initiate paging, the context of management and storage UE is such as IP bearer service parameter and network internal routing iinformation etc.
PCC part network element comprises: strategy and charging control and management function (Policy andCharging Rules Function abbreviates PCRF as) are the essential functional entities of PCC framework, obtaining, assemble, issuing etc. in order to control strategy and charging regulation; Strategy and charge execution function (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function abbreviates PCEF as) are the concrete strategy and the execution point of charging, are usually located in the gateway function (GateWay is called for short GW).In the EPS network, the PCEF function is arranged in P-GW.
The positioning service network element comprises: the position obtains functional entity (Location RetrievalFunction is called for short LRF)/critical point mobile positioning center (Gateway Mobile LocationCentre is called for short GMLC).
The network element of IMS urgent call part comprises: the subscription data of the main leading subscriber of home subscriber server (HomeSubscriber Server abbreviates HSS as) is positioned at home network.CSCF (Call Session Control Function, abbreviate CSCF as) be the core network element of control conversation procedure, comprise: Proxy Call Session Control Function (Proxy-CSCF, abbreviate P-CSCF as), service call conversation control function (Serving-CSCF, abbreviate S-CSCF as), emergency call session controlled function (Emergency-CSCF abbreviates E-CSCF as).Wherein, E-CSCF is a new functional entity of introducing in the IMS territory, be arranged in same network (when the user roams, being user's visited network) with P-CSCF, the emergent session of being responsible for receiving from P-CSCF is set up request, positional information that provides according to the user or positional information and the routing iinformation that obtains from LRF are routed to urgency communication with the emergent session request of setting up and accept center (PSAP).Simultaneously, the urgency communication center of accepting can be by directly obtaining customer position information from LRF, and get in touch with home network, with the callback user.
In addition, this system also comprises: UE, urgency communication are accepted center (Public SafetyAnswering Point is called for short PSAP).
When UE moves, signal weaker need switch under the Target cell, in actual applications, has two kinds of switching modes, and a kind of is to switch in the MME, its switching flow as shown in Figure 2, another kind of for striding the MME switching, its switching flow is as shown in Figure 3.Below introduce above two kinds of switching modes respectively.
(1) switches in the MME.As shown in Figure 2, this switching flow mainly comprises the steps:
Step 201, source eNodeB judges Target cell whether in the roaming restriction tabulation of this UE, promptly this UE can not roam at Target cell, if, process ends then, otherwise source eNodeB and target eNode B cooperate the set-up procedure of finishing switching, and continue step 202;
Step 202, handover execution stage, source eNodeB notice UE switches to target eNode B, and is responsible for descending media data is transmitted to target eNode B, target eNode B and then descending medium are issued UE;
Step 203 is switched and is finished the stage, and UE cuts target eNode B, and the upstream data passage is: UE-〉target eNode B-S-GW.Target eNode B sends media path handoff request message to MME, and indication switches to descending media path on the target eNode B.MME sends user's face update inquiry information to S-GW, thereby makes downlink data channel be: S-GW-〉target eNode B-UE.
Step 204, target eNode B is carried out the tracing Area renewal process according to configure trigger UE.
(2) striding MME switches.As shown in Figure 3, this switching flow is mainly drawn together following steps:
Step 301, source eNodeB judges Target cell whether in the roaming restriction tabulation of this UE, if then process ends is not initiated to switch, otherwise, prepare to initiate to switch, continue step 302.
Step 302-step 303, after source MME received the handoff request message that source eNodeB sends, selected target MME issued target MME to handoff request then.
Step 304, target MME sends to target S-GW and creates the media bearer request, and the response of setting up media bearer of receiving target S-GW transmission, and at this moment, up medium can be dealt into P-GW from target S-GW.
Step 305, target MME sends out handoff request message to target eNode B, and target eNode B is distributed required carrying, and MME returns response message to target.At this moment, up medium can be dealt into P-GW through target S-GW from target eNode B.
Step 306, if transmit media mode indirectly (is in the handoff procedure, descending medium are forwarded to target eNode B from source eNodeB through source S-GW, target S-GW), target MME notification target S-GW set up to transmit the carrying that medium are used, and the response returned of receiving target S-GW.If directly transmit medium, then medium directly are forwarded to target eNode B from source eNodeB.
Step 307, target MME sends switching response message to source MME, and notification source MME target side has been carried out to switch and has been prepared.
Step 308, if transmit media mode indirectly, source MME notification source S-GW set up to transmit the carrying that medium are used, and the response returned of reception sources S-GW.
Step 309-step 310, source MME sends out switching command for source eNodeB, and source eNodeB is transmitted to UE with this switching command.After this descending media data is forwarded to target eNode B earlier, is dealt into UE then after UE is cut into target eNode B again.
Step 311, UE sends to switch to target eNode B and confirms that UE cuts target eNode B.
Step 312, target eNode B notification target MME, UE has cut target eNode B.
Step 313, target MME notification source MME switches and to finish, and the response returned of reception sources MME.
Step 314-step 315, target MME notification target S-GW is new bearer more, and more new bearer response of receiving target S-GW, thus descending medium can be issued UE through target eNode B from target S-GW.Target S-GW reinforms more new bearer of P-GW, and receives more new bearer response of P-GW, thereby descending medium can be dealt into target S-GW from P-GW.So far, media channel become UE<-target eNode B<-target S-GW<-P-GW.
Step 316, target eNode B triggers UE and carries out the tracing Area renewal process.
Step 317-step 318, the carrying that source carrying and forwarding medium are used is released.
In the above-mentioned flow process, if Target cell drops in the roaming restriction tabulation (being that UE can not roam at Target cell), currently, UE can refuse initiate to switch toward Target cell for providing the eNodeB of Radio Resource, that is to say that network can't allow UE switch to Target cell, what carry out is urgent call if UE is current, then can cause the urgent call aborted.
