Fig. 3 is a method of utilizing present embodiment, and the flow chart of IMS multimedia priority service session is set up in caller, and please with reference to Fig. 3, this flow process comprises:
Step 301:UE sets up RRC and connects (RRC Establishment and Service Request).
Wherein, according to 3GPP TS23.401, because the access category of MPS service-user is in 11 to 15 scopes, " the setting up reason " in the RRC connection request is made as high Priority Access (high priority access)." setting up reason " that the portable terminal of receiving as MME (MobilityManagement Entity Mobility Management Entity) is initiated is during for the signaling of high Priority Access; This RRC connection request of MME and eNodeB priority treatment; With respect to the non-priority RRC connection request that other UE initiates, preferentially set up S1 and carry and radio bearer.
Wherein, if UE has been in EMM-CONNECTED (EPS mobile management-connection) state, then this step is not carried out.
Acquiescence or the dedicated bearer of step 302:UE through setting up in advance sends session to P-CSCF and sets up request (SIPINVITE) message.
Wherein, carry MPS code/Identifier (MPS sign indicating number/sign) or MPS input word string in the SIP INVITE, so that P-CSCF therefrom obtains the information of initiating the priority session.
Wherein, This SIP INVITE also indicates the voice medium of this MPS session to have different priority with video media; For example " voice with priority A, video with priority B (voice medium has priority A, and video media has priority B) ".
In one embodiment, can be through SDP media description (media description) property column (" a=") partly of SIP INVITE, the absolute priority of indication voice medium and video media.Here " absolute priority " be meant this session voice medium and video media separately by the priority of network processes, network can be mapped directly to the EPS loading priority of these medium by this priority.For example, the SDP media description of SIP INVITE partly is:
m=video?49170/2RTP/AVP?31
a=priority:14
m=audio?49232RTP/AVP?0
a=priority:15
In this example, indicate media priority through defining new attribute: attribute-name (attribute) is priority, and its value (value) scope is 0-15.For example, the priority of video media of IMS session (video) and voice medium (audio) is respectively 14 and 15, corresponding respectively priority (Reservation-Priority AVP) 14 and 15 of carrying the IP stream of these medium.
In another embodiment, can be through SDP media description (media description) property column (" a=") partly of SIP INVITE, the relative priority level of indication voice and video media.Here " relative priority level " be meant this session voice medium and video media by the relative priority rank of network processes, network need be confirmed the EPS loading priority of these medium according to the priority of this relative priority level and the IMS session of medium place.For example, the SDP media description of SIP INVITE partly is:
m=video?49170/2RTP/AVP?31
a=priority:0
m=audio?49232RTP/AVP?0
a=priority:1
In this example; The relative priority level of the video of IMS session and audio is respectively 0 and 1; Network need combine the priority of this IMS session to determine the priority (Reservation-Priority AVP) of the carrying of these medium, and mapping relations as shown in table 1 below are for example arranged:

m=video?49170/2RTP/AVP?31
m=audio?49232RTP/AVP?0
a=priority?render
In this example, represent voice medium with its high priority " transference " video media through the property column " a=priority render " of audio medium, promptly the priority of voice medium and video medium is switched each other.
In another embodiment, can pass through the Priority header field of the message header of expansion SIP re-INVITE message, the priority of indication voice and video media is switched each other.For example:
The new parameter of Priority header field: media-priority be can define, value " render " (or " swap ", " switch "), " equal " increased, or the mode of operation of other presentation medium priority.Illustrate, can define this new parameter and be: Priority:urgent; Media-priority=render indicates the priority of voice and video media to switch each other.
Can also define the new parameter of Priority header field: media-priority-operation, value is " render " (or " swap ", " switch "), " equal ", or the mode of operation of other presentation medium priority; Or value is " media-priority-render " (or " media-priority-swap ", " media-priority-switch "), " media-priority-equal ", or the mode of operation of other presentation medium priority.Illustrate, can define this new parameter and be: Priority:urgent; Media-priority-operation=render, perhaps: Priority:urgent; Media-priority-render indicates the priority of voice and video media to switch each other.
Step 503:P-CSCF initiates the PCC process to PCRF, promptly through AA-Request message the MPS session information is sent to PCRF.
Wherein, The priority that comprises Voice, Video medium in the MPS session information is switched information; That is: AA-Request message comprises the Media-Component-Description AVP that describes Voice, Video medium respectively; The Reservation-Priority AVP (being loading priority information) that comprises these medium among the Media-Component-Description AVP, this priority is confirmed according to Voice, Video priority switching information in the SIP re-INVITE message.
Wherein, the information of Voice and Video media priority is made amendment respectively to the ARP that the IP-CAN of Voice and Video medium carries in the PCRF MPS session that can provide according to P-CSCF.The concrete modification method is identical with step 303, repeats no more at this.
Step 504:P-CSCF is transmitted to the IMS core net with the SIP INVITE.
Step 505:IMS core net and session far-end are mutual, and P-CSCF receives SIP 183 Progress message.
Wherein, these SIP 183 Progress message are the Temporary Response information of SIP re-INVITE message, and P-CSCF receives this SIP 183 Progress message, shows that promptly the session far-end has received the session updates request, just in the modification of consulting session medium.
Step 506:P-CSCF authorizes the QoS resource concurrence to play dynamic policy control process.
Wherein, identical with step 503 in the dynamic strategy control procedure, P-CSCF can issue PCRF through AA-Request message with session information.
Wherein, PCRF preserves session information and discerns affected IP-CAN session.Voice, Video media priority information are that the IP-CAN of Voice, Video medium carries and selects different ARP in the IMSMPS session that PCRF provides according to P-CSCF.
Wherein, identical with step 503 content repeats no more.
Step 507:P-CSCF gives UE with SIP 183 Progress forwards.
After step 508:UE receives SIP 183 Progress message, send SIP PRACK (Temporary Response affirmation) message and give P-CSCF.
Step 509:P-CSCF gives the IMS core net with SIP PRACK (Temporary Response affirmation) forwards that UE sends.
Step 510:PCRF sends Policy and Charging Rules Provision (strategy provides with charging regulation) message to PDN GW, wherein comprises the ARP of the modification of the IP-CAN carrying of Voice and Video medium in this IMS MPS session.
Step 511:PDN GW sends Update Bearer Request (more new bearer request) message to S-GW, wherein comprises the ARP to the modification of the IP-CAN carrying of Voice in this IMS MPS session and Video medium.
Step 512:S-GW sends Update Bearer Request (more new bearer request) message to MME, wherein comprises the ARP to the modification of the IP-CAN carrying of Voice in this IMS MPS session and Video medium.
Step 513:MME sends Bearer Modify Request (bearing modification request) message to eNodeB, wherein comprises the ARP to the modification of the IP-CAN carrying of Voice in this IMS MPS session and Video medium.
Step 514:eNodeB sends Bearer Modify Response (bearing modification response) message to MME, indicates the ARP of the IP-CAN carrying of Voice and Video medium in this IMS MPS session to revise successfully.
Step 515:MME sends Update Bearer Response (more new bearer response) message to S-GW.
Step 516:S-GW sends Update Bearer Response (more new bearer response) message to PDN GW.
According to above flow process, Voice medium and Video media bearer are handled by amended priority.
Step 517:PDN GW sends Acknowledge IP CAN Session Modification Message (confirming IP-CAN session modification message) to PCRF, indicates the ARP of the IP-CAN carrying of Voice and Video medium in this IMS MPS session to revise successfully.
