Description

Select method, the Apparatus and system of circuit domain service network
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile communication system, relate in particular to the technology of selecting the circuit domain service network.
Background technology
Along with the continuous development of mobile network's technology and the maturation of IPization technology, SAE/LTE (SystemArchitecture Evolution/Long Term Evolution, System Architecture Evolution/Long Term Evolution), HSPA (High Speed Packet Access, the high-speed packet access), HSPA+ (High SpeedPacket Access Evolution, high-speed packet inserts evolution) and WiMAX (WorldwideInteroperability for Microwave Access, the micro-wave access global inter communication) network-covered of etc.ing arrive some areas.For convenience of description, these are provided the network in PS (Packet Switched, packet switching) territory be referred to as the network of supporting packet domain (PS).Network design for future, may there be network and GERAN (the Global System for Mobilecommunications/Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution Radio AccessNetwork that supports PS in a very long time, GSM EDGE Radio Access Network), UTRAN legacy networks such as (Universal MobileTelecommunication System Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UMTS Terrestrial radio access network networks) and depositing.
More present traditional CS (Circuit Switched, circuit switching) territory business, for example speech, short message service etc. remains user's business relatively more commonly used.In order to protect existing investment, make full use of Internet resources, operator wishes that the circuit domain that some employed circuit domain business of user that resides in the network cell of supporting PS is redirected to legacy network carries out.
In addition, because existing some packet network such as HSPA+ etc. do not support circuit domain business, therefore, in the prior art, when resident user equipment (UE) to support PS network cell is initiated CS paging, need to be redirected or to switch to circuit domain.When the access network entity in the network of supporting PS is received the CS paging request of UE initiation, will carry out redirection process, UE is switched to the sub-district of supporting circuit domain business in other networks.In addition, the network of support packet domain such as HSPA+ in the future may be supported circuit domain business, but is based on needs such as sharing flow, also may need to be redirected or to switch to the sub-district of supporting circuit domain business in other networks.
In order to make the UE that resides in the network cell of supporting PS can receive the call request in CS territory, and the communication of setting up the CS territory, it in the prior art mode that adopts combined registering, promptly when UE is registered to certain support PS network, the PS network entity is registered to UE on the MSC/VLR (Mobile SwitchingCenter/visitor location register, mobile switching centre/visitor location register) simultaneously.Arrive GMSC (the Gateway Mobile Switching Center of Home Network as CS paging, gateway MSC) time, GMSC is from HLR/HSS (Home Location Register/HomeSubscriber Server, attaching position register/home subscriber server) obtains the MSC/VLR address that UE registers in, thereby make GMSC knows so which MSC/VLR IAM (Initial Address Message, initial address message) is forwarded on.
Figure 1 shows that in the prior art that the UE combined registering is to the situation of MSC/VLR and MME (MobileManagement Entity, mobile management entity): in step 101, subscriber equipment sends to the MME of PS network and adheres to request; Step 102 is finished whole PS attaching process; In step 103, MME sends the request that co-location is upgraded by Gs interface to MSC/VLR; In step 104, MSC/VLR creates Gs alliance; In step 105, the position in MSC/VLR and HLR/HSS executive circuit territory is upgraded; In step 106, MSC/VLR sends the position renewal to MME and accepts message, and in the step 107, MME sends to adhere to UE and accepts message.By said method, UE is registered on the relevant MSC/VLR.
Reside in the prior art when UE that supports the PS network cell is in the sky present condition and receive that the flow process of CS territory paging is: when CS paging arrives GMSC, GMSC obtains the circuit domain positional information that UE registers from HLR/HSS, and sends IAM to this circuit domain MSC/VLR.MSC/VLR sends beep-page message by Gs interface to the PS territory.The PS network sends beep-page message to UE in Home Network.After base station eNB is received beep-page message, will trigger a PS switching or the gravity treatment of eNB assisted cell and make UE be repositioned onto legacy network, and send page-response message at legacy network.
Reside in the prior art and receive the flow process of CS territory paging when the UE that supports the PS network cell is in state of activation, the flow process difference of receiving the paging of CS territory with idle condition UE is, because UE has the PS business to carry out, so, when CS paging, can only initiate PS territory switching flow and UE is switched in the legacy network go.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there are the following problems at least in the prior art: because current combined registering is only considered TA (Tracking Area for the UE place in the prior art, tracking area) only with the sub-district of a MSC/VLR administration with situation about covering, but eUTRAN TA scope and UTRAN RA/LA be (Routing Area/Location Area, Routing Area/band of position) scope does not have corresponding relation accurately, so may there be situation as shown in Figure 2: when UE initiates registration in TA, because the sub-district that TA covers together may belong to the compass of competency of two MSC/VLR, which MSC/VLR MME can't know the UE combined registering to; If UE is registered to MSC/VLR1 in register flow path, but UE moves in TA inside, and moves to the scope with covering with MSC/VLR2, so when UE is exhaled, because what GMSC obtained in HLR/HSS is the address of MSC/VLR1, GMSC will issue MSC/VLR1 to the IAM address.According to existing procedure, MSC/VLR1 will be by MME and eNB paging UE.After eNB receives information, UE is switched in the sub-district of MSC/VLR1 administration and go.Because this moment, UE was not in the sub-district of MSC/VLR1 administration, thus can't be with the UE successful switch to the MSC/VLR1 compass of competency, thus UE can not send response message to MSC/VLR1, causes the paging failure of CS territory to UE.
