Example 1:
the present embodiment provides a CSFB call method, which is applied to a Mobility Management Entity MME (Mobility Management Entity), and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
step S102: after the terminal in the 4G network performs fallback, judging whether a fallback cell of the terminal is a 2G/3G cell;
step S104: if the fallback cell is a 2G/3G cell, sending a request for suspending a terminal bearing context to a Serving Gateway (SGW);
step S106: and after the terminal returns to the 4G network, sending a request for recovering the bearer context of the terminal to the SGW.
In this embodiment, the terminal is a 4G multi-mode card, and the 4G multi-mode card selects a CSFB technique to implement a voice call, and the terminal has an ISR (Idle mode Signaling Reduction ) function, and after the terminal is powered on, the terminal is in a coverage Area of a 2/3G network, attaches to the 2/3G network, releases a connection after the attachment is completed, starts an RAU (Route Area Update) timer, does not activate the ISR at this time, and when the terminal moves to a coverage Area of the 4G network, the terminal resides in the 4G network, and the terminal performs a joint location Update. The specific process of the joint location update comprises the following steps: the MME sends context request information to SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) after receiving the joint location update request, and after receiving the context response information of the SGSN, the MME sends a request for modifying the bearing relationship to SGW (Serving GW, serving gateway), the request for modifying the bearing relationship comprises an ISR activation instruction, the SGW modifies the bearing relationship and stores the ISR activation instruction, the MME sends a location update request to MSC (Mobile Switching Center), the MSC sends location update completion response information to the MME after completing the location update, the MME sends joint location update acceptance information to the terminal, the ISR activation instruction is included, and the terminal activates ISR.
It should be noted that the CSFB call method provided in this embodiment is applicable to a calling (MO) CSFB procedure and a called (MT) CSFB procedure, where the terminal may be a calling terminal or a called terminal, and when the terminal falls back from the 4G network to the 2G/3G network, the SGW suspends the bearer context of the terminal according to a request for suspending the bearer context of the terminal, and resumes the bearer context of the terminal after the call is ended. Taking a called party (MT) CSFB procedure as an example to illustrate the CSFB call method provided in this embodiment, if the terminal has an incoming call, the MME receives a paging request and sends an indication that the terminal falls back to the eNB (evolved Node B). If the terminal falls back to the 2G/3G cell, the MME sends a request for suspending the bearing context of the terminal to the SGW, so that the SGW suspends the bearing context of the terminal, and the SGW recovers the bearing context of the terminal after the terminal conversation is finished, thereby avoiding the problem of time and resource waste caused by the fact that the bearing context of the terminal needs to be reestablished after the terminal returns to the 4G network because the falling back 2G/3G cell deletes the bearing context of the terminal. The bearer context may include IMSI, ME ID, terminal security context, terminal network capability, AMBR, selected CN operator ID, APN restriction, S-GW address and TEID of control signaling, EPS bearer context, and the like. The EPS bearer context may include the PDN GW address and TEID (GTP-based S5/S8) for uplink traffic or GRE keys (PMIP-based S5/S8) within the P-GW, APN, S-GW address and TEID for uplink traffic, and TI, among others.
Optionally, after the terminal in the 4G network performs fallback and before determining whether the fallback cell of the terminal is the 2G/3G cell, the method may further include:
receiving terminal fall-back information sent by an evolved node B (eNB), wherein the terminal fall-back information comprises a fall-back cell of a terminal;
optionally, after the terminal returns to the 4G network, before sending, to the SGW, a request for recovering the bearer context of the terminal, the method may further include:
and receiving the information which is sent by the mobile switching center MSC and returned by the terminal to the 4G network.
It should be noted that, in the existing CSFB call method, when an ISR is introduced and the ISR is activated, when a terminal has an incoming call and a downlink data service is available at this time, an SGW determines that the ISR is in an activated state, and simultaneously sends a data service paging request to an MME and an SGSN, which respectively page within a TAI list (Tracking Area Identity list) and a RAI (Routing Area) range. During the research and practice of the prior art, the inventor finds that: if the terminal is located in a 2G or 3G cell, after receiving the paging request of the SGSN, the terminal is connected to the SGSN to receive downlink data services, but the paging request of the MME is invalid paging, and air interface resources are wasted.
In this embodiment, to avoid invalid paging, air interface resources are saved, when there is an incoming call and there is a downlink data service at this time, the SGW determines whether the bearer context of the terminal is in a suspended state, and if the bearer context is in the suspended state, only sends a downlink data service paging request to the serving GPRS support node SGSN. If the bearer context is not in the suspended state, the bearer context data packet is discarded, and a downlink data service paging request is not sent to the serving GPRS support node SGSN, where the downlink data service refers to other services that need to be processed in a 2G or 3G network, such as a pushed information service, except for a voice call.
The CSFB call method provided by the embodiment of the invention can reduce the consumption of time and resources by suspending the bearing context of the terminal when the terminal falls back to the 2G/3G network from the 4G network and restoring the bearing context of the terminal when the terminal returns to the 4G network after the call is finished, thereby solving the problem that the time and resources are consumed because the bearing context needs to be reestablished when the terminal returns to the 4G network in the existing CSFB call method.

and a third sending module, connected to the second determining module, for sending a downlink data service paging request to a serving GPRS support node SGSN when the terminal bearer context is in a suspended state.
9. A CSFB call system, comprising: eNB, SGSN, MSC, MME and SGW;

the SGW is used for suspending the bearing context of the terminal according to the request for suspending the bearing context of the terminal;
the MSC is also used for sending information of a 4G network returned by the terminal to the MME when the terminal conversation is judged to be finished;
the MME is also used for sending a request for recovering the bearing context to the SGW after receiving the information of the 4G network returned by the terminal;
the SGW is further configured to recover the bearer context of the terminal according to the request for recovering the bearer context.
10. The CSFB call system of claim 9, wherein:
the SGW is also used for judging whether the bearing context of the terminal is in a suspended state or not when detecting that the downlink data service arrives at the terminal and determining that the terminal activates the ISR function, and sending a downlink data service paging request to the SGSN under the condition that the judgment result is yes;
the SGSN is used for sending the downlink data service paging request to the terminal.
