Description

Background
At present, LTE (Long Term Evolution ) is developed very rapidly, however, since LTE does not support services of Circuit domains such as voice call, etc., in a network where VOLTE is not deployed, a mobile terminal must perform corresponding CS (Circuit Switching) domain services through a CSFB (Circuit Switching Fall-back) manner. The basic steps of the CSFB implementation process under each large commercial network at present are as follows: a terminal initiates services of circuit domains such as voice communication and the like, and transmits a related signaling ESR (Extended Service Request, which is a special uplink air interface signaling in procedures such as CSFB (Circuit switched fallback) and the like under an LTE (Long term evolution) network to the LTE network; the LTE network issues signaling to require the terminal to fall back to a specified 2G/3G cell; the terminal determines whether to initiate a position updating process according to the position area condition of the target 2G/3G cell, if the concurrence is allowed, the terminal simultaneously initiates a routing area updating process; the terminal and the network start the CS domain service communication process; after the CS domain service is finished, the network issues signaling to require the terminal to return to the cell designated by the LTE.
In the process of implementing the invention, the inventor finds that at least the following technical problems exist in the prior art:
in the implementation process of the CSFB, if the terminal has a new CS domain service that needs to be initiated but cannot be concurrently performed with a CS domain service that is not yet completely completed (for example, a circuit domain additional service cannot be concurrently performed with another subsequent circuit domain additional service; for example, a protocol state of the network and the terminal at that time does not support concurrency, etc.), at the time when the communication process of the current CS domain service is completed, the network issues a signaling to request the terminal to return to a cell designated by LTE without knowing but with a normal communication state, so that the terminal is forced to return to LTE and cannot immediately initiate the subsequent new CS domain service, and the terminal can continue to perform the subsequent CS domain service only through the basic steps of the CSFB again until the terminal re-resides in the LTE network and completes registration; in some cases, due to the characteristics of the application program built in the terminal, there may be many continuous CS domain services that need to be performed in series, such as a circuit domain additional service, which may cause the CSFB step to be repeatedly executed many times, which may easily cause an abnormal communication state, greatly increase signaling overhead between the terminal and the network, and reduce communication efficiency.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making any creative effort based on the embodiments in the present invention, belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
Before describing the embodiments of the present invention, a mobile communication service will be described first.
For different network bearer mechanisms, the services of mobile communication can be divided into: services carried by the circuit switched CS domain, such as voice telephony, short message and supplementary services, etc.; the services carried in a Packet Switching (PS) domain include data services and session services, and the session services may also be Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services carried in the Internet Protocol. Voice traffic may be carried in the CS domain or in the PS domain.
For convenience of description, the service carried by the circuit switching domain in the following embodiments may be understood as the service carried by the CS domain; the service carried by the packet switching domain can be understood as the service carried by the PS domain; the first preset network cell can be understood as an LTE cell designated by the network; the second pre-set network cell may be understood as a 2G/3G cell, which is used for illustration only and does not limit the meaning of specific terms.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for circuit switched domain fallback, as shown in fig. 1, where the method includes:
s11, after executing the service carried by the first circuit-switched domain, the UE receives a first signaling message, where the first signaling message includes a message returned to the first predetermined network cell.
In this embodiment, the service carried by the first circuit switched domain may be understood as a service carried by the first CS domain, which is executed by a terminal, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer capable of communicating, and the like.
The receiving of the first signaling message may be understood as receiving the first signaling message issued by the network side, and generally, the communication process of the service carried by the CS domain is started between the terminal and the network side, and after the service is finished, the network side may issue a signaling under a normal condition to request the terminal to return to the LTE cell specified by the network.
S12, the UE judges whether to return to the first preset network cell.
It can be understood that when the service carried by the circuit domain is the service carried by the last circuit domain, there is an end identifier. If the service carried by the first circuit switching domain has no ending mark, the service carried by the second circuit switching domain to be executed is described.
And S13, if yes, returning to the first preset network cell.
The embodiment of the invention provides a circuit switching domain fallback method, after a service carried by a first circuit switching domain is executed, whether a subsequent service carried by the circuit switching domain to be executed, namely a service carried by a second circuit domain, exists is judged according to the service carried by the first circuit domain, and a cell designated by LTE is returned only when no service carried by the circuit switching domain to be executed exists, so that the problem that a communication state is abnormal due to a repeated CSFB process when the subsequent service carried by the circuit switching domain to be executed exists is avoided.
Optionally, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a circuit switched domain fallback method, as shown in fig. 2, where the method includes the following steps:
s21, sending a request for triggering the service carried by the circuit switched domain.
Generally, when a mobile terminal is camped on an LTE network and initiates a request for a service carried by a CS domain of a calling or called party, a signaling is initiated to the LTE network to trigger CSFB, where the signaling may be ESR signaling.
S22, receiving a second signaling message, wherein the second signaling message comprises a message falling back to a second preset network cell.
When the network side receives the ESR signaling, the network side sends the signaling to require the terminal to fall back to the designated 2G/3G cell.
And S23, executing the service carried by the first circuit switching domain in the second preset network cell.
S24, after executing the service carried by the first circuit switched domain, receiving a first signaling message, where the first signaling message includes a message returning to the first predetermined network cell.
In the above steps S23-S24, when the terminal receives the signaling of falling back to the 2G/3G cell, it will start the communication process of the service carried by the CS domain with the network side; after the service is finished, the network side will send signaling to request the terminal to return to the designated LTE cell under normal condition.
S25, judging whether the UE can return to the first preset network cell, if yes, executing step S26, otherwise, executing step S27.
Optionally, the step S25 includes the following steps:
s251, the UE judges whether a service borne by the second circuit domain to be executed exists or not;
s252, if there is a service carried by the second circuit switched domain to be executed in the service carried by the first circuit switched domain, executing step S27.
And S26, returning to the first preset network cell.
S27, disregarding the signaling of the network side, but recording the LTE cell information specified by the network side, continuing to complete all subsequent CS services in the current 3G or 2G network until no new CS service needs to be initiated, and continuing to execute step S26.
Optionally, the step S26 includes the following steps:
s261, acquiring the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time.
It can be understood that, when the first signaling message is received in step S24, it is necessary to record the LTE cell specified by the network side and record the time of receiving the first signaling message at that time.
S262, judging whether the duration exceeds a preset duration or not;
the preset time duration in this embodiment may be understood as a one-time clock, for example, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and the like, and the specific preset time duration is not limited in this embodiment.
And S263, if the time length does not exceed the preset time length, determining to return to the first preset network cell.
In the step S26, the problem that the cell returning to the first predetermined network cell is invalid due to the long time from the first signaling message to the current time is avoided through the steps S261 to S263.
In the CSFB process, after a terminal falls back to a specified 2G/3G cell and completes a CS service, if a subsequent CS service needs to be initiated to a network, the terminal is not required to send a command of the specified LTE cell back to the network, but information of the LTE cell is recorded for a judgment basis when the LTE cell is subsequently and autonomously returned, until the subsequent CS service is completely completed, the terminal determines whether to return to the LTE network according to the previously recorded information of the LTE cell specified by the network, and the whole CSFB process is finished. Compared with the prior art, the invention can effectively avoid the communication state abnormity easily caused by frequent and repeated CSFB process under the actual network condition, reduce the communication resource consumption caused by frequent signaling, and can improve the service experience of users.
In addition, when the terminal returns to the first preset network cell, the terminal returns to the first preset network cell by judging the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time and returning to the first preset network cell when the time length does not exceed the preset time length, so that the problem that the first preset network cell fails due to the fact that the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time is too long is solved, and the terminal can return autonomously by the method of the embodiment under the condition that the first preset network cell is enabled to be effective; and if the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time exceeds the preset time length, the first preset network cell is considered to be invalid, and the first preset network cell cannot be returned to for residing immediately.
When the terminal switches or resides in the 2G/3G cell in the process of the basic steps of the CSFB implementation process, the terminal determines whether to initiate the location updating process according to the location area condition of the designated 2G/3G cell, if the concurrence is allowed, the terminal simultaneously initiates the routing area updating process. When the updating process of the routing area is not completed, the network side of the CS domain issues signaling to require the terminal to return to the designated LTE cell under the condition that the PS domain condition is unknown but the communication state is normal, so that the terminal is forced to return to the LTE according to the protocol specification, and the updating process of the routing area is abnormally failed; in this case, communication abnormality is also easily caused in an actual network, for example, a terminal fails to respond to a subsequent LTE registration process.
Optionally, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for circuit-switched domain fallback, as shown in fig. 3, when a terminal cares about a condition of a PS domain, after the method receives a second signaling message in step S22 in fig. 2, the method further includes:
s28, judging whether the second preset network cell can execute the service carried by the packet switching domain; if the second predetermined network cell is capable of executing the service carried by the packet switched domain, performing step S29; if not, go to step S23;
s29, executing the service carried by the first circuit switching domain in the second preset network cell; meanwhile, executing a routing area updating process;
s30, after executing the service carried by the first circuit switching domain, receiving a first signaling message;
s31, judging whether the routing area updating message is finished or not, if so, executing a step S26 to return to the first preset network cell; otherwise, step S32 is executed.
S32, the terminal disregards the signaling sent by the network, but records the LTE cell information specified by the network, and continues to complete the routing area update procedure in the current 3G or 2G network, and continues to execute step S26.
In the above steps, a general signaling is issued on the network side to request the terminal to fall back to the designated 2G/3G cell; the terminal determines whether to initiate the location updating process according to the situation of the location area to which the designated 2G/3G cell belongs, if the concurrence is allowed, the terminal can simultaneously initiate the routing area updating process.
If there is a routing area update, before returning to the first default network cell in step S26, it is determined whether the routing area update is completed, and only after the routing area update is completed, step S26 is performed to return to the first default network cell.
In the CSFB process, after a terminal falls back to a specified 2G/3G cell and completes a CS service, if a routing area updating process in progress is judged, the command of the network side for requiring the terminal to return to the specified LTE cell is disregarded, and information of the LTE cell is recorded for a judgment basis when the LTE cell is subsequently and autonomously returned; and when the subsequent CS services are completely finished and the ongoing route area updating process does not exist, the terminal determines whether to return to the LTE network or not according to the recorded LTE cell information appointed by the network, and the whole CSFB process is finished. The problem that the terminal is forced to return to the LTE according to the protocol specification so that the updating process of the routing area is abnormally failed can be effectively avoided when the network side of the CS domain issues signaling to require the terminal to return to the appointed LTE cell under the condition that the PS domain condition is unknown but the communication state is normal, and the service experience of a user is improved.
Optionally, an embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for circuit-switched domain fallback, where as shown in fig. 4, the apparatus includes:
a receiving module 41, configured to receive a first signaling message after executing a service carried by a first circuit switched domain, where the first signaling message includes a message returned to a first preset network cell;
a determining module 42, configured to determine whether the first predetermined network cell can be returned;
the returning module 43 returns to the first predetermined network cell when it is determined that the first predetermined network cell can be returned.
The embodiment of the invention provides a circuit switching domain fallback device, after a service carried by a first circuit switching domain is executed, whether a subsequent service carried by the circuit switching domain to be executed, namely a service carried by a second circuit domain, exists is judged according to the service carried by the first circuit domain, and a cell designated by LTE is returned only when no service carried by the circuit switching domain to be executed exists, so that the problem that a communication state is abnormal due to a repeated CSFB process when the subsequent service carried by the circuit switching domain to be executed exists is avoided.

a duration judging unit 552, configured to judge whether the duration exceeds a preset duration;
a determining unit 553, configured to determine to return to the first preset network cell when the duration does not exceed a preset duration.
In the CSFB process, after the terminal falls back to the designated 2G/3G cell and completes the CS service, it is determined that if there is a subsequent CS service that needs to be initiated to the network, it is not necessary to accept a command that the terminal of the network requests the terminal to return to the designated LTE cell, but the information of the LTE cell is recorded as a basis for determination when the subsequent LTE cell is autonomously returned, until the subsequent CS service is completely completed, the terminal determines whether to return to the LTE network according to the previously recorded LTE cell information designated by the network, and the entire CSFB process is completed. Compared with the prior art, the invention can effectively avoid the communication state abnormity easily caused by frequent and repeated CSFB process under the actual network condition, reduce the communication resource consumption caused by frequent signaling, and can improve the service experience of users.
In addition, when the terminal returns to the first preset network cell, the terminal returns to the first preset network cell by judging the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time and returning to the first preset network cell when the time length does not exceed the preset time length, so that the problem that the first preset network cell fails due to the fact that the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time is too long is solved, and the terminal can return autonomously by the device of the embodiment under the condition that the first preset network cell is enabled to be effective; and if the time length from the time when the first signaling message is received to the current time exceeds the preset time length, the first preset network cell is considered to be invalid, and the first preset network cell cannot be returned to for residing immediately.
When the terminal switches or resides in the 2G/3G cell in the process of the basic steps of the CSFB implementation process, the terminal determines whether to initiate a location updating process according to the situation of the location area to which the specified 2G/3G cell belongs. When the updating process of the routing area is not completed, the network side of the CS domain issues signaling to require the terminal to return to the designated LTE cell under the condition that the PS domain condition is unknown but the communication state is normal, so that the terminal is forced to return to the LTE according to the protocol specification, and the updating process of the routing area is abnormally failed; in this case, communication abnormality is also easily caused in an actual network, for example, a terminal fails to respond to a subsequent LTE registration process.
Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a circuit switched domain fallback apparatus, where:
the judging module is further configured to judge whether the service carried in the packet switched domain can be executed in the second preset network cell;
the sending module is further configured to initiate a routing area update process when the second preset network cell is capable of executing a service carried by a packet switched domain.
The judging module is further configured to judge whether the routing area updating process is completed;
the returning module is further configured to return to the first preset network cell when the routing area updating process is completed.
In the CSFB process, after the terminal falls back to the designated 2G/3G cell and completes the CS service, it is determined that if there is still an ongoing routing area update process, the command requesting the terminal to return to the designated LTE cell on the network side is disregarded, but information of the LTE cell is recorded for a basis for determination when the LTE cell is subsequently autonomously returned; and when the subsequent CS services are completely finished and no ongoing routing area updating process exists, the terminal determines whether to return to the LTE network or not according to the recorded LTE cell information appointed by the network, and the whole CSFB process is finished. The problem that the terminal is forced to return to the LTE according to the protocol specification so that the updating process of the routing area is abnormally failed can be effectively avoided when the network side of the CS domain issues signaling to require the terminal to return to the appointed LTE cell under the condition that the PS domain condition is unknown but the communication state is normal, and the service experience of a user is improved.
