Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for voice fallback.
Background
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is an important standard in third-generation mobile communication systems. CDMA commercial networks are currently established in north america, china, and some countries in asia.
Since the global scale of a CDMA network is much smaller than that of a global System for Mobile communications/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (GSM/UMTS), when a CDMA user moves abroad, if there is no CDMA network coverage, it is impossible to implement an international roaming service. In order to meet the international roaming requirement of a user, a CDMA network operator generally deploys an international roaming gateway (FLR) to implement protocol conversion between ANSI-41MAP (american national Standards Institute-41Mobile Application Part) and GSM MAP, so as to provide a function of roaming between a GSM network and a CDMA network for a CDMA dual-mode (also referred to as a multi-mode) end user. In the service process of the dual-mode terminal user, the FLR plays roles of a mobile switching Center/visitor Location Register (MSC/VLR), a Short Message Center (SMC), a Home Location Register (HLR) network element of the GSM network, and roles of an MSC/VLR, an information Center (MC) and an HLR network element of the CDMA network, so as to implement roaming from the user to the GSM/UMTS.
Evolution to a fourth generation wireless data network (Long Term Evolution, abbreviated as LTE) is a trend for operators, and LTE networks are deployed in a plurality of countries currently. When a CDMA user using a dual-mode terminal with LTE capability roams internationally, the CDMA user may attach to the LTE network in the LTE network coverage area. Therefore, the problem of how to use voice services arises for applications when a user roams in an LTE network.
When a CDMA operator performs international roaming service, voice service is generally provided by a conventional 2G/3G network. Therefore, the FLR is required to support Mobile Terminal Roaming Retry (MTRR) and Mobile Terminal Roaming Forwarding (MTRF) of standard Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB).
The LTE terminal with the CSFB capability is dropped to the 2G/3G network through the CSFB technology, and the traditional 2G/3G network provides voice services, but the call completing rate of the voice dropping is not high, and connection errors are easy to occur.
Aiming at the problems that in the related art, the call completing rate of voice fallback in the process of terminal cross-network international roaming is not high, and connection errors are easy to occur, no effective solution exists at present.

The present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments and embodiments.
The preferred embodiment provides a method for realizing voice fallback when a CDMA user is in international roaming in an LTE network, which is suitable for storing CDMA dual-mode (or multi-mode) user information in a CDMA home location register (HLRe), where GSM/UMTS information corresponding to the CDMA user is stored in an international roaming gateway FLR.
In the method for voice fallback when a CDMA user is internationally roamed in an LTE network, when the user is internationally roamed in the LTE network and the MSC/VLR where the user is located allows MTRR, when the user is called in the CDMA network, the FLR plays the role of the CDMA MSC/VLR and returns a routing response to HLRe, and a redirection label (redirectNum) is carried in a Temporary Local number (TLDN) of the routing response.
When the subscriber CSFB falls back to the 2G/3G network and reselects MSC/VLR registration in the GSM/UMTS network, the FLR plays the role of HLR in the GSM/UMTS network. When the new and old MSC/VLRs all allow MTRR, the FLR records the location update mark until the location update process is finished, when a SEND _ ROUTING _ update request sent by the MSC of GSM/UMTS is received in the process, whether the location update of the current user at the new MSC/VLR is finished is detected, if the location update process is not finished, after the location update process is finished, a Provision Roaming Number (PRN) request is sent to the new MSC/VLR, and if the ROUTING INFORMATION (SRI) is requested, the request carries a Roaming Retry mark (PRN), the Roaming Number is provided at the PRN. The request message carries a receive roaming retry supported (mt roaming retry supported) parameter.
When the subscriber CSFB falls back to the 2G/3G network and reselects MSC/VLR registration in the GSM/UMTS network, the FLR plays the role of HLR in the GSM/UMTS network. When the new and old MSC/VLRs both allow MTRF and the LOCATION UPDATE (UPDATE _ LOCATION) carries the MTRF flag, the FLR sends a delete LOCATION (CANCEL _ LOCATION) message to the user's previously registered MSC/VLR carrying the support and authorization flags
(MTRFmtrf-Supported AndAuuthorized), a new MSC/VLR Number (newMSC-Number, newVLR-Number).
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of the MTRR after the voice fallback has successfully retrieved the roaming number according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the user registers in the LTE network, for example, the user is a called service, and after the CSFB has retrieved the roaming number, to implement the MTRR, the preferred embodiment provides a method for interaction between the FLR and other network element entities, which includes the following steps:
