Compared with prior art, the embodiment of the invention has the following advantages:
By using the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, make and do not have the UE of PS domain data service, particularly carry out the Idle state UE of MT call, under the situation that network allows, can carry out SRB-Only PSHO, thereby reduce the time delay of CSFB, in addition, can on the SGSN rank, control by the policy deployment according to operator in the method.
Below, the application scenarios in conjunction with concrete describes the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed.
A kind of PS territory that the embodiment of the invention proposed specifically may further comprise the steps to the business switch method of 2G/3G network:
Source eNB is according to the state of UE before CSFB, current data flow state, and configured strategy etc., and whether decision increases is carried SRB-Only PS HO indication or CSFB indicates to SourceMME.
For example UE be from the Idle attitude by CSFB, perhaps UE is current does not have a transfer of data, then Source eNB may initiate SRB-Only PS HO according to configured strategy.
If decision is carried, then Source MME passes to Target SGSN with SRB-Only PS HO indication or CSFB indication.
If do not carry, then handle according to existing procedure.
The type of the indication information of receiving according to Target SGSN, described SGSN determines that according to predetermined strategy the professional type of switching is SRB-Only PS HO or Full PS HO.
If Target SGSN receives SRB-Only PS HO indication, then Target SGSN can be according to the strategy of operator and the ability of self, and whether decision supports SRB-Only PS HO.
Wherein, if the version of SGSN is lower, just can not discern the indication of SRB-Only PS HO, therefore, self-ability also is important basis for estimation.
If Target SGSN supports SRB-Only PS HO, then SRB-Only PS HO is carried out in decision;
If do not support, then ignore the indication of the SRB-Only PS HO of Source MME transmission, follow-up flow process is all pressed existing procedure and is handled.
If Target SGSN receives CSFB indication, then according to the strategy of operator, the service attribute that the ability of UE and user contract, decision is to carry out SRB-Only PS HO or Full PS is HO.
If SRB-Only PS HO is carried out in decision, then Target SGSN does not ask RNC to set up RAB, simultaneously also not request target S-GW set up Indirect Data Forwarding Tunnel.
Otherwise carry out Full PS HO process, indicating this PS HO of target RNC simultaneously is for CSFB.
If SRB-Only PS HO is carried out in Target SGSN decision, then target RNC handles by existing procedure; If Target SGSN indication target RNC carries out Full PS HO, then target RNC judges according to resource situation whether Full PS HO can carry out, if inadequate resource is then only set up SRB, return normal response message simultaneously, any DRB information is not carried in the message the inside.
If be not with any DRB information in the Relocation Request Acknoledge message that Target SGSN finds to receive, then indicate Source MME, SRB-Only PS HO activates, Source MME sets up Indirect Data Forwarding Tunnel without request source S-GW like this, otherwise pressing Full PS HO handles, carry out existing procedure, be not with any indication.
So far, finish the switching of Access Network side, i.e. the handoff preparation phase of terminal equipment.After this TargetSGSN is in issuing the Modify Bearer Request message of SGW, and the F-TEID of RNC is put 0.

Step S702, Source eNB identification UE can carry out SRB-Only PS HO, sends the Handover Required message of carrying SRB-Only PS HO indication or CSFB indication to SourceMME.
For example: do not have transfer of data between UE and the Source eNB this moment, perhaps UE from the Idle attitude by CSFB, then under the situation that strategy allows, Source eNB increases in Handover Required message and carries SRB-Only PS HO and indicate the MME to Source, and other guide is the same with existing procedure in the Handover Required message.
Step S703, Source MME increase in Forward Relocation Request and carry SRB-Only PS HO and indicate the SGSN to Target.
Forward Relocation Request other guide is the same with existing procedure.
Step S704 is normal existing procedure.
If step S705 Target SGSN receives SRB-Only PS HO/CSFB indication, need be according to the strategy of operator, the ability of UE ability and signatory attribute and network judges whether to need to carry out SRB-Only PS HO, if desired, then Target SGSN puts sky with RAB to Be Setup List in Relocation Request message, RAB is not set up in indication, and RNC can not reserve any RAB resource like this.Otherwise,, indicate RNC to target but need increase CSFB in Relocation Request message then according to existing flow processing.
If target RNC receives the CSFB indication, then judge according to resource situation whether Full PS HO can carry out, if inadequate resource then carries out SRB-Only PS HO, return normal response message simultaneously, any DRB information is not carried in the message the inside.
If be not with any DRB information in the Relocation Request Acknoledge message that step S706 Target SGSN finds to receive, then this step omits.
If be not with any DRB information in the Relocation Request Acknoledge message that step S707 Target SGSN finds to receive, then in Forward Relocation Response message, increase SRB-Only PS HO and activate indication to Source MME.
If SRB-Only PS HO is supported in indication among the step S708 step S507, then this step omits; Otherwise by existing flow processing.
Further, as shown in Figure 8, for E-UTRAN to HO execution phase that UTRAN does the end side in the scene of PS HO:
