Background technology
Emergency bearing is professional for providing support IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem, internet protocol multi-media sub-system) emergent session, the UE that goes for normally adhering to (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) also goes for being in the UE of unrestricted model state.Professional and the local configuration of the emergency bearing of UE is relevant, and is irrelevant with CAMEL-Subscription-Information.When UE was in the limit service pattern, MME judged that according to the rank of supporting the urgency traffic pattern emergency attached request of accepting UE still refuses the emergency attached request of UE.The limit service pattern refers to the only state of the UE of permission initiation urgent call, when UE can not find that a suitable cell (proper cell) is resident, perhaps UE does not insert SIM (Subscriber IdentityModule, user identification module) card, when perhaps UE has received the response message (as be designated as " illegal UE ") of some position registration, UE attempts resident PLMN (the Public Land Mobile-communication Network that ignores this residential quarter to a residential quarter, public land mobile communication network) during id (sign), UE enters the limit service pattern.
At present, the type of the urgent call of the following four kinds of network supports of protocol definition:
(1) only support effective UE (Valid UEs only): network is not supported the UE of limit service pattern, has only effective CAMEL-Subscription-Information, authentication and authorizes successful normal UE just to allow its initiation urgent call in attaching process.Normal UE must be attached to network earlier and initiate PDN (Public Data Networks, public data network) connection request process when UE detects the IMS emergent session.
(2) only support the UE (Only UEs that are authenticated areallowed) that authentication allows: UE must have effective IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity, international mobile subscriber identity), UE authentication success, but may be positioned at the residential quarter of restriction service and be in the limit service state.The UE of failed authentication then can be refused by network.
(3) only support UE (IMSI required, authentication optional) by IMSI: UE must have IMSI, even failed authentication, UE still can be linked into network, preserves the not IMSI of authentication success in the network.Network uses IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity, International Mobile Equipment Identity sign indicating number) sign UE, and has only the UE of IMEI to be refused by network.
(4) all UE support (All UEs are allowed): except the UE of authentication success, but the UE of IMSI failed authentication is arranged and have only the UE of IMEI also to allow to support urgency traffic.If but UE provides IMSI failed authentication, network is still preserved the not IMSI of authentication success, and this moment, network used IMEI sign UE.
For the UE that normally adheres to, MME (Mobile Management Entity, mobile management entity) returning to the attach accept of UE (adhering to acceptance) message and follow-up generation TAU (Tracking AreaUpdate, tracking area update) in sending to TAU accept (tracking area update acceptance) message of UE, network can carry an Emergency Service Support indicator (urgency traffic support sign) during process, be used to indicate distributing to network in the TAI list of UE (Tracking Area Indicator list, the tracing area identification list) scope and whether support the urgency traffic of this UE.If urgency traffic is supported in network indication, UE can connect the process of setting up and sets up and urgent being connected of PDN by initiating new PDN.
If UE is in the limit service pattern, and will initiate urgency traffic the time, UE directly initiates the emergency attached process, and UE can be designated as urgency traffic in Attach Request message.If the urgent call of network support UE then be that UE sets up urgent PDN and connects according to the urgent configuration data of MME of this locality configuration.If network is not supported the urgent call of UE, then MME can refuse the request of adhering to of this UE.
When the network support urgency traffic, will can not use mobile and the access restriction for urgent call.When the carrying that is used for urgency traffic is set up, the ARP of emergency bearing (Allocation and RetentionPriority, distribute and keep priority) will to indicate this carrying to E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal TerrestrialRadio Access Network, evolved global terrestrial radio Access Network) be for urgency traffic.Source E-UTRAN also needs to consider this indication when the select target residential quarter when switching.When UE switches to a restricted cell, objective network will only be set up the urgency traffic carrying, and the APN of all non-emergent business (Access Point Name, APN) connection will be deleted.
The inventor is in realizing process of the present invention, and there are the following problems at least to find prior art:
The urgency traffic that network provides is determined that by this locality configuration and carrier policy irrelevant with CAMEL-Subscription-Information, at different TA (Tracking Area, tracing area), the classification of the urgency traffic of network support may be different.When the UE of urgency traffic connection switches, owing to carry out the ability that the sourceeNB (source node B) of switch decision process does not know objective network support urgency traffic, do not know that UE is linked into the state of network yet, for example UE normally adheres to or emergency attached, whether IMSI information is arranged, and whether IMSI is by successful authentication etc.When the new Target cell that switches to as UE is not supported the urgency traffic carrying of UE, can cause the release of urgency traffic carrying, influence the continuity of urgency traffic.
