Abstract

The invention provides a realizing method of IP (IP multimedia core network subsystem) multimedia subsystem session switching. The method comprises the steps that an ATCF (access transfer control function) switches specified session of a user from a first access network to a second access network after receiving session switching request information of the first access network and the second access network; the ATCF determines whether to release specified session of the first access network according to local policies, and if the specified session of the first access network is determined to be released, the session is released; the ATCF determines whether to inform an application server relevant to the user according to the local policies, and an access network of the user is changed; and the first access network and the second access network are respectively a PS (packet switch) access network and a CS (circuit switch) access network. The invention also provides an access switching control function. By adopting the method, not only more rapid switching that an SRVCC (single radio voice call continuity) technology can be realized, but also certain signaling interaction processes can be reduced relative to eSRVCC (evolved single radio voice call continuity).

Description

Carry the sign of switching whole sessions in the refer message, perhaps, carry the information of switching one or more sessions, also comprise corresponding information in the handoff request invite message, so that ATCF identification.
Only enumerated the switching of two sessions among this figure; If ATCF receives a plurality of sessions switching invite request; ATCF does being similar to second session hand-off process (can adopt ATGW grappling media mode to some switching, judgment rule uses existing standard or local policy) according to local logic.
Use grappling medium are switched in first session among this figure, and not grappling medium are switched in second session, mainly are the flexibilities that realizes for embodying, and are not so limited in actual the use.
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of access switching control function, and is as shown in Figure 9, and said access switching control function ATCF comprises handover module, session release module and notification module, wherein:
Said handover module is used for: receive first Access Network after the session handoff request message of second Access Network, user's specified session is switched to second Access Network from first Access Network;
Said session release module is used for: determine whether to discharge the said specified session of said first Access Network according to local policy, if carry out session and discharge;
Said notification module is used for, and determines whether notice and said user-dependent application server according to local policy, said user's Access Network change;
Wherein, said first Access Network is the circuit switching Access Network, and said second Access Network is the packet switching Access Network, perhaps; Said first Access Network is the packet switching Access Network, and said second Access Network is the circuit switching Access Network.
Wherein, said handover module switches to second Access Network with user's specified session from first Access Network and comprises:
Said handover module switches to second Access Network with said user's specified session from first Access Network according to the mode of grappling medium or not grappling medium.
Wherein, said handover module also is used for, when other sessions of said user being switched according to local policy is definite, and the session information that the notice related network elements need switch; And, after the follow-up session handoff request message that receives said related network elements, other sessions of said user are switched to second Access Network from first Access Network;
Said session release module also is used for, and determines whether to discharge said other sessions of said first Access Network according to local policy; If carry out session and discharge;
Said notification module also is used for, and after said handover module switches to second Access Network with other sessions of said user from first Access Network, determines whether notice and said user-dependent application server according to local policy, said user's Access Network change;
Said related network elements is the eMSC of mobile switching centre or the MGCF MGCF or the Proxy Call Session Control Function P-CSCF of evolution.
Wherein, said handover module notifies the session information that related network elements need switch to comprise:
Said handover module carries the sign that all sessions of said user is switched to said second Access Network in notification message; Perhaps, carry the session related information that one or more needs switch to said second Access Network.
Wherein, Said ATCF also comprises Registering modules; After being used to receive said registration request from user message; Initiate registration through query call conversation control function I-CSCF and service call conversation control function S-CSCF to home subscriber server HSS, receive the response message that succeeds in registration that said HSS returns, carry said user in the said response message that succeeds in registration and whether support the relevant information switched between first Access Network and second Access Network.
Wherein, said notification module determines whether notice and said user-dependent application server according to local policy, and said user's Access Network change comprises:
Said notification module is when confirming notice with said user-dependent application server; Through in revising media information reINVITE or informational message INFO or updating message UPDATE, carrying designated identification notice and said user-dependent application server, said user's Access Network change.
Need to prove, above-mentionedly be merely schematic illustration of the present invention, so:
Flow process among the embodiment is an exemplary flow.
Authentication whether in the registration/subscription embodies in exemplary flow, also can increase relevant authorizing procedure.
Message between each network element among the embodiment mainly is in order clearly to represent the thought of obtaining and calling out switching of Access Network handover information.In concrete realization, be not limited to these network elements and message.
For the abnormal conditions that occur in the various flow processs, the sequencing of some message under the situation of not conflicting, concrete restriction is not done in the concrete realization of each network element internal.
If the user supports the Access Network of ring attitude to switch, ATCF gives local terminal information that (initiating to insert the network element of switch sides) sent out and the same prior art of grappling medium whether.Different with prior art is, does not use SCC AS in the switching, switches which session and is confirmed by ATCF (rather than by SCC AS).
Switching has taken place to the Access Network of NE User in the notice back, and multiple mode can be arranged, such as can in revising media information reINVITE or other message (such as INFO, UPDATE), carrying respective identification.
In realization, ATCF and P-CSCF both can unify, and also can separate.
In realization; Inserting through CS under the situation of not supporting to register; ATCF can also initiate refresh registration to determine whether the agency according to local policy, perhaps adopts other network element of info/update message untill further notice under the situation that calling switches, not discharge the session that registration is exceeded the time limit.
One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that all or part of step in the said method can instruct related hardware to accomplish through program, said program can be stored in the computer-readable recording medium, like read-only memory, disk or CD etc.Alternatively, all or part of step of the foregoing description also can use one or more integrated circuits to realize.Correspondingly, each the module/unit in the foregoing description can adopt the form of hardware to realize, also can adopt the form of software function module to realize.The present invention is not restricted to the combination of the hardware and software of any particular form.
