Description

Communication processing method and device, first core network equipment and third core network equipment
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a communication processing method and device, a first core network device and a third core network device.
Background
The different operators support different cases for voice, for example, the guaranteed Bit Rate (Guaranteed Bit Rate, GBR) or the Maximum Bit Rate (Maximum Bit Rate, MBR) of voice supported by the operator A, B, C is 64kbps,156kbps,512kbps:
the GBR upper limit value used by the mobile network operator (mobile network operator, MNO) a is equal to 64kbps;
the upper limit of GBR used by MNO B is equal to 156kbps;
the upper limit of GBR used by MNO C is equal to 512kbps.
For example, when a terminal of MNO C (e.g., user Equipment (UE)) roams to MNO a, the terminal initiates an IP multimedia subsystem (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS) session request according to the stored MNO C configuration, and establishes a voice bearer with GBR of 512kbps. Specifically, session description information (Session Description Protocol, SDP) information is carried in a session initiation protocol (Session Initiation Protocol, SIP) invite (invite) message, and the SDP information includes information using 512kbps GBR parameters.
When the MNO establishes a voice bearer according to the negotiation result of the IMS layer, since the MNO only supports the voice bearer establishment with the GBR upper limit of 64kbps, the voice bearer establishment request is rejected by the core network mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME) of the fourth generation mobile communication technology (4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,4G)/fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,5G) or the session management function (Visited Session Management Function, V-SMF) of the roaming network, which results in a voice bearer establishment failure, and the user cannot use voice service in the roaming area.
In the related art, if the V-SMF rejects the voice bearer establishment request and feeds back the roaming network public land mobile network (Visited Public Land Mobile Network, HPLMN) VPLMN 5G quality of service (Quality of Service, qoS) (e.g., 128 kbps) to the home network public land mobile network (Home Public Land Mobile Network, HPLMN), the Proxy call session control function (Proxy-Call Session Control Function, P-CSCF) feeds back the VPLMN 5G QoS to the terminal, which re-initiates the call based on the VPLMN 5G QoS. In this case, the call re-initiated by the terminal falls back to the VPLMN4G network according to the evolved packet system (Evolved Packet System, EPS) fallback (fallback) procedure, but if the VPLMN4G QoS is actually smaller than the VPLMN 5G QoS, for example, the 4G GBR upper limit is smaller than the 5G GBR upper limit, the MME rejects the call again, which may cause the call to fail, or cause the call to be re-negotiated with parameters again, so that the delay of the whole call procedure is too large and the service experience is poor.

In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, some relevant background knowledge is first described below.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a prior art UE-1 and UE-2 establishing a voice bearer. In fig. 2, a flow of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 is illustrated, where UE-1 and UE-2 make a voice call in a scenario of roaming to VPLMN, and if VPLMN performs voice service through EPS fallback technology, and VPLMN can support QoS parameters (such as requested GBR parameters or negotiated GBR parameters) of UE-1 and UE-2 after negotiation in IMS layer, specific steps are as follows:
step 1: UE-1 establishes a protocol data unit (Protocol Data Unit, PDU) session over V-SMF in a roaming network, e.g., MNO a.
Step 2: the UE-1 initiates an IMS establishment request, initiates the IMS establishment request through a SIP invite message, carries the information of the voice media to be established in the SDP of the IMS establishment request, and requests to establish the voice bearer with GBR of 512kbps through b=application server (Application Server, AS) 512.
Step 3: the P-CSCF sends a hypertext transfer protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, HTTP) notification (POST) Request (Request) to the PCF that serves UE-1, carrying media description information (media info) negotiated by SDP, derived from an SDP answer (answer) message, containing information that requires the use of 512 kbps.
Step 4: the PCF initiates a request to establish a voice bearer to a session management function (Home Session Management Function, H-SMF) of the home network of UE-1 (e.g., the PCF initiates SM policy association modification), and the request carries QoS parameters of the voice bearer to be established, which includes information that GBR is 512 kbps.
Step 5: the H-SMF sends a PDU session Update Request (e.g., nsmf_PDUSion_Update Request) to the V-SMF, where the PDU session Update Request contains the QoS parameters of the voice bearer to be established.
Step 6: the V-SMF sends a request message (e.g., namf communication N1N2message transfer message) to the AMF, the request message including QoS parameters of the voice bearer to be established.
Step 7: the AMF sends an N2 session message to the base station (the next Generation Node B, gNB) requesting the establishment of a voice bearer (5G QoS Identifier, 5 QI) =1 QoS flow (flow).
Step 8: and if the gNB judges that the VPLMN does not support the new air interface carrying voice (Voice over New Radio, voNR) and only supports EPS fallback, triggering voice service to fall back to the 4G network flow. Specifically, the gNB denies the establishment of the voice bearer (5q1=1 QoS flow), and indicates to the AMF that the reason for the denial is that the voice traffic fallback operation needs to be performed.
Step 9: the gNB triggers a handover or redirection procedure to handover or redirect the UE-1 to the VPLMN 4G cell.
Step 10: after the H-SMF/packet data network gateway control plane (PDN Gateway Control, PGW-C) determines that the fallback procedure is finished (i.e. UE-1 accesses the 4G network), it triggers to reestablish the voice bearer in the 4G network (QoS class identifier (QoS Class Identifier, QCI) =1 bearer), which includes QoS parameters of the voice bearer requested to be established.
Step 11: a Serving Gateway (SGW) sends a voice bearer (qci=1 bearer) establishment request to the MME, including QoS parameters of the voice bearer that is requested to be established.
Step 12: the MME sends a voice bearer (qci=1 bearer (bearer)) establishment request to a base station (evolved Node B, eNB), which contains parameters of the voice bearer that is requested to be established.
Step 13: the eNB sends a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection reconfiguration message to the UE-1 for requesting establishment of a voice bearer.
Step 14-18: and each node sends a response message for establishing the bearing to the uplink node.
Step 19: the P-CSCF sends the invite message received in step 2 to the UE-2 through a service session control function (Serving Call Session Control Function, S-CSCF).
It should be noted that, both the P-CSCF and the S-CSCF in fig. 2 are IMS network elements that provide services for UE-1, and the IMS network elements that provide services for UE-2 are not embodied.
Step 20: UE-2 replies to the 183 message through the S-CSCF, including SDP answer in the 183 message.
Step 21-22: UE2 replies to UE1 with a 200OK message.
Thus, a voice call may be made between UE-1 and UE-2.
In the flow shown in fig. 2, when the UE-1 is in the roaming state, if the parameters of the voice bearers supported by the home network and the roaming network are inconsistent, the flow cannot be successfully completed, and the MME or the V-SMF may reject the voice bearer establishment request, thereby causing a voice bearer establishment failure, and causing that the user cannot use the voice service in the roaming place. If the V-SMF rejects the voice bearer setup request and feeds back the roaming network public land mobile network (Visited Public Land Mobile Network, HPLMN) VPLMN 5G quality of service (Quality of Service, qoS) (e.g., 128 kbps) to the home network public land mobile network (Home Public Land Mobile Network, HPLMN), the Proxy call session control function (Proxy-Call Session Control Function, P-CSCF) feeds back the VPLMN 5G QoS to the terminal, which re-initiates the call based on the VPLMN 5G QoS. In this case, the call re-initiated by the terminal falls back to the VPLMN 4G network according to the evolved packet system (Evolved Packet System, EPS) fallback (fallback) procedure, but if the VPLMN 4G QoS is actually smaller than the VPLMN 5G QoS, for example, the 4G GBR upper limit is smaller than the 5G GBR upper limit, the MME rejects the call again, which may cause the call to fail, or cause the call to be re-negotiated with parameters again, so that the delay of the whole call procedure is too large and the service experience is poor.
Therefore, how to set up bearers for users roaming is a problem to be solved.
The method, the device, the core network device and the readable storage medium for communication processing provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
Fig. 3 is one of flow diagrams of a communication processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes steps 301 to 203; wherein:
step 301: the first core network device receives a first message, where the first message is used to request a roaming network of the terminal to establish a first bearer.
Optionally, the first core network device may include at least one of: mobility management functions of the roaming destination network, such as V-MME; session management functions of the roaming network, such as V-SMF.
In case the first core network device comprises a V-MME/V-SMF, the first core network device may receive the first message from a session management function of the home network, such as H-SMF, or a packet data network gateway of the home network, such as H-PGW-C.
In another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the first core network device includes at least one of the following: a) A session management function H-SMF of the home network; b) A packet data network gateway of the home network, such as a packet data network gateway control plane (Home Packet Data Network Gateway Control, H-PGW-C) of the home network.
In case the first core network device comprises an H-SMF/H-PGW-C, the first core network device may receive the first message from a policy control function (Home Policy Control Function, H-PCF) of the home network.
In yet another possible implementation of an embodiment of the present application, the first core network device includes a policy control function of the home network, such as an H-PCF.
In case the first core network device comprises an H-PCF, the first core network device may receive the first message from a proxy call session control function, e.g. a P-CSCF, or a serving call session control function, e.g. an S-CSCF.
It should be noted that, the first message may be referred to as a PDU session update request message, a bearer establishment request message, or an HTTP POST request message, where the message may carry a parameter of the first bearer; roaming networks may also be referred to as visited networks.
Optionally, the first core network device determines that the first bearer is at least one of a voice service bearer and a video service bearer. That is, the first bearer may include at least one of a voice bearer and a video bearer, for example, the first bearer may be a voice traffic media plane bearer, and the corresponding qci=1 (4G) or 5qi=1 (5G).
Step 302: the first core network device determines whether a quality of service QoS parameter included in the first message matches a QoS parameter supported by the roaming network.
In this embodiment, if the QoS parameter included in the first message matches the QoS parameter supported by the roaming network, it indicates that the roaming network accepts the first message, and establishes a first bearer for the terminal in the roaming network;
if the QoS parameters included in the first message do not match the QoS parameters supported by the roaming network, it indicates that the roaming network cannot meet the QoS parameters included in the first message, i.e. the roaming network rejects the first message.
Optionally, the QoS parameters include at least one of: GBR; MBR.
In case the QoS parameters comprise GBR in particular, the roaming network supported QoS parameters comprise GBR upper limit supported by the roaming network in particular.
Step 303: in the case that the QoS parameters included in the first message do not match with the QoS parameters supported by the roaming network, the first core network device sends a second message, where the second message includes a target parameter, and the target parameter includes at least one of the following: qoS parameters supported by the first system network; the smaller value of QoS parameters supported by the first system network and the second system network; the first system network or the second system network is contained in the roaming place network, and the second system network is higher than or better than the first system network.
It should be noted that, preferably, in the present application, the first core network device determines whether the QoS parameter included in the first message matches the QoS parameter supported by the roaming network or not is for the first bearer; preferably, the first core network device sends the target parameter also for the first bearer. In other words, the QoS parameters supported by the roaming network in the embodiments of the present application refer to QoS parameters supported by the roaming network for the first bearer (e.g., the voice service bearer).
In this embodiment, in the case that the QoS parameter included in the first message does not match the QoS parameter supported by the roaming network, it indicates that the roaming network rejects the first message; in this case, the first core network device sends a second message comprising the target parameters.
Optionally, the second message is used to refuse to establish the first bearer for the terminal in the roaming network.
It should be noted that, the first message may be received by the first core network device during the process that the terminal falls back from the second system network to the first system network.
The first and second networks are distinguished by different radio access technologies (Radio Access technology, RATs), the RATs of the first and second networks being different; and, the first system network or the second system network is included in the roaming place network, and the second system network (such as 5G network) is higher than or better than the first system network (such as 4G network).
The QoS parameters supported by the first standard network refer to 4G QoS parameters supported by a roaming network VPLMN; for example, 4G GBR and/or MBR, with the example that the 4G QoS parameter is GBR, VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit = 64Kbps.
The smaller value in the QoS parameters supported by the first standard network and the second standard network refers to the smaller value in the 4G QoS and the 5G QoS supported by the roaming network VPLMN; for example Min (4 g GBR,5g GBR), and/or Min (4 g MBR,5g MBR).
In the communication processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the QoS parameter included in the first message for requesting the roaming network to establish the first bearer for the terminal is not matched with the QoS parameter supported by the roaming network, the first core network device renegotiates the parameter by sending the message including the target parameter, and in addition, because the target parameter includes the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network of the roaming network and/or a smaller value in the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network and the QoS parameter supported by the second standard network, the second standard network is higher than or better than the first standard network, which can directly feed back the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network or the smaller value in the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network and the QoS parameter supported by the second standard network, so that the call parameter can be renegotiated directly into the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network or the smaller value in the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network and the second standard network, multiple renegotiations that may occur can be avoided, the call delay of the roaming user is shortened as much as possible, and the bearer can be successfully established for the user in the roaming network, and the user experience is improved.
Optionally, the second message includes reject cause information, where the reject cause information indicates that the roaming network cannot meet the QoS parameters included in the first message.
Optionally, the first core network device determines whether the QoS parameters of the quality of service included in the first message match QoS parameters supported by the roaming network, which may be implemented by at least one of the following ways:
in mode 1, the first core network device determines whether the QoS parameters supported by the first standard network are matched with the QoS parameters included in the first message.
Specifically, if the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network (e.g., VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit=64 Kbps) is smaller than the QoS parameter included in the first message, it indicates that the QoS parameter supported by the first standard network does not match the QoS parameter included in the first message.
And 2, the first core network device judges whether a smaller value in QoS parameters supported by the first standard network and the second standard network is matched with the QoS parameters included in the first message.
Specifically, if a smaller value (for example, min (4 ggbr,5g GBR) =64 Kbps) of QoS parameters supported by the first standard network and the second standard network is smaller than the QoS parameters included in the first message, it indicates that the QoS parameters supported by the first standard network do not match the QoS parameters included in the first message.
In the above embodiment, through the QoS parameters supported by the first standard network or the smaller value of the QoS parameters supported by the first standard network and the second standard network, it may be determined whether the QoS parameters included in the first message are matched with the QoS parameters supported by the roaming network, and in the case of no match, the first core network device needs to send the second message including the target parameter.
Optionally, the first core network device sends the second message, and the following condition needs to be met:
the first core network device sends the second message in case the roaming network performs the voice service of the home subscriber and/or the roaming subscriber in a voice fallback manner, or in case the roaming network does not support the voice service of the home subscriber and/or the roaming subscriber in a new air interface carrying voice VONR manner.
It should be noted that, the voice fallback mode refers to a mechanism that the roaming network fallbacks the user residing in the second system network from the second system network to the first system network, and actually executes the voice service in the first system network.
Taking the first standard network as a 4G network and the second standard network element as a 5G network as an example, the corresponding voice fallback mode is called EPS fallback (EPS FB for short), which means that the network drops the user residing in the 5G network from the 5G network to the 4G network and initiates VoLTE voice service in the 4G network.
In practical application, taking the case that the first core network device is a V-SMF, the V-SMF determines, through network configuration information, that the roaming network VPLMN supports the voice service of the local user and/or the roaming user in the manner of EPS FB, or the V-SMF determines, through network configuration information, that the VPLMN does not support the VONR service, where the first core network device sends a second message including the target parameter.
Optionally, in one possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the first core network device sends the second message to a second core network device of a home network of the terminal.
Optionally, in case the first core network device comprises a mobility management function V-MME of the roaming network or a session management function V-SMF of the roaming network, the second core network device comprises at least one of:
a) A session management function H-SMF of the home network;
b) The packet data network gateway of the home network, e.g., the packet data network gateway control plane H-PGW-C of the home network.
Optionally, in case the first core network device comprises a session management function H-SMF of the home network or a packet data network gateway (e.g. H-PGW-C) of the home network, the second core network device comprises: the policy control function H-PCF of the home network.
Optionally, in case that the first core network device includes an H-SMF or a packet data network gateway of the home network, the first core network device further needs to receive a third message sent by a third core network device of the roaming network before sending the second message to the second core network device, where the third message includes the target parameter.
Optionally, the third core network device comprises a V-SMF.
Optionally, the third message is used to request to establish or modify a session for the terminal at the roaming location network.
It should be noted that, the third message is sent to the first core network device after the third core network device receives the session establishment or modification request message initiated by the terminal in the roaming network.
Optionally, in case the first core network device comprises an H-PCF, the second core network device comprises an IMS network device of the home network comprising proxy call session control functions, such as at least one of a P-CSCF, a serving call session control function, such as an S-CSCF, and a media service server.
Optionally, in case the first core network device includes an H-PCF, the first core network device further needs to receive a third message sent by a third core network device of the home network, before sending the second message to the second core network device, where the third message includes the target parameter.
It should be noted that, before the third core network device in the home location sends the third message to the first core network device, the target parameter in the third core network device in the home location may be obtained from a fourth core network device during the process of establishing or modifying the PDU session of the UE, where the fourth core network device includes a V-SMF.
Optionally, the third core network device of the home network comprises at least one of a session management function H-SMF of the home network and a packet data network gateway (e.g. H-PGW-C) of the home network.
FIG. 4 is a second flow chart of a communication processing method according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, the method includes steps 401-402; wherein:
step 401: the third core network device receives a fourth message for requesting initiation of session establishment or modification for the terminal at the roaming network.
In order for the user to use voice services roaming, in the embodiment of the present application, the third core network device first needs to receive a fourth message for requesting to initiate session establishment or modification for the terminal in the roaming network, where the fourth message may be referred to as a PDU session establishment request or modification message; roaming networks may also be referred to as visited networks.
Step 402: the third core network device sends a third message to the first core network device, wherein the third message comprises target parameters, and the target parameters comprise at least one of the following: quality of service (QoS) parameters supported by the first system network; the smaller value of QoS parameters supported by the first system network and the second system network; the first system network or the second system network is contained in the roaming place network, and the second system network is higher than or better than the first system network.
It should be noted that, preferably, the sending of the target parameter by the third core network device is also specific to the first bearer. In other words, the QoS parameters supported by the roaming network in the embodiments of the present application refer to QoS parameters supported by the roaming network for the first bearer (e.g., the voice service bearer).
In this embodiment, after the third core network device receives the fourth message, the third message including the target parameter is sent to the first core network device, so that the first core network device can establish the first bearer for the terminal based on the target parameter.
Optionally, the first core network device determines that the first bearer is at least one of a voice service bearer and a video service bearer; that is, the first bearer may include at least one of a voice bearer and a video bearer, for example, the first bearer may be a voice traffic media plane bearer, and the corresponding qci=1 (4G) or 5qi=1 (5G).

Optionally, in another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the first core network device includes a policy control function of a home network of the terminal, such as an H-PCF; the third core network device comprises session management functions of a home network of the terminal, e.g. at least one of H-SMF and a packet data network gateway of the home network, e.g. H-PGW-C.
Optionally, in case that the third core network device includes at least one of a session management function of the home network and a packet data network gateway of the home network, the fourth core network device needs to receive the fourth message sent by the fourth core network device, where the fourth core network device includes the session management function of the roaming network, and the fourth message includes the target parameter.
It should be noted that, before the fourth core network device sends the fourth message to the third core network device, the fourth core network device needs to receive a fifth message from the terminal, where the fifth message is used to initiate session establishment or modification for the terminal in the roaming network.
Optionally, the QoS parameters include at least one of: GBR; MBR.
In case the QoS parameters comprise GBR in particular, the roaming network supported QoS parameters comprise GBR upper limit supported by the roaming network in particular.
It should be noted that, the first system network and the second system network are distinguished by different radio access technologies RATs, and the RATs of the first system network and the second system network are different; and, the first system network or the second system network is included in the roaming place network, and the second system network (such as 5G network) is higher than or better than the first system network (such as 4G network).
The QoS parameters supported by the first standard network refer to 4G QoS parameters supported by a roaming network VPLMN; for example, 4G GBR and/or MBR, with the example that the 4G QoS parameter is GBR, VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit = 64Kbps.
The smaller value in the QoS parameters supported by the first standard network and the second standard network refers to the smaller value in the 4G QoS and the 5G QoS supported by the roaming network VPLMN; for example Min (4 g GBR,5g GBR), and/or Min (4 g MBR,5g MBR).
In the communication processing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the third core network device receives the fourth message for requesting to initiate session establishment or modification for the terminal in the roaming network, and then sends the third message including the target parameter to the first core network device, so that the first core network device can renegotiate the parameter based on the third message.
Optionally, the third core network device needs to send a third message to the first core network device if a target condition is met, where the target condition includes at least one of:
a) The fourth message is for an IMS session;
in particular, the third core network device may determine that the fourth message is for an IMS session by means of the fourth message, i.e. the IMS data network identity (Data Network Name, DNN) in the PDU session establishment request or modification message.
b) The roaming place network executes the voice service of the local user and/or the roaming user in a voice fallback mode;
c) The roaming network does not support the execution of voice services for the home subscriber and/or the roaming subscriber in a VONR manner.
Optionally, the roaming network performs the voice service of the home subscriber and/or the roaming subscriber in a voice fallback manner, which is determined by at least one of the following manners:
in the mode 1, the third core network device determines, through network configuration information, that the roaming place network executes the voice service of the local user in a voice fallback mode;
mode 2, the third core network device determines that the roaming network executes the voice service of the roaming user in a voice fallback mode through network configuration information;
And 3, the third core network equipment determines that the roaming area network does not support the execution of the voice service of the local user and/or the roaming user in the VONR mode through the network configuration information.
c) The roaming network does not support the execution of voice services for the home subscriber and/or the roaming subscriber in a VONR manner.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 according to an embodiment of the present application. In FIG. 5, a flow of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 is illustrated, and the voice call is performed by UE-1 and UE-2 in a roaming to VPLMN scenario, specifically comprising the following steps:
step 1: UE-1 establishes a PDU session over V-SMF in the roaming network.
Step 2: the UE-1 initiates an IMS voice service establishment request, initiates the request through Invite message, carries the information of the voice media to be established in the SDP of the request, and requests to establish the voice bearer with GBR of 512kbps through b=AS 512.
Step 3: the P-CSCF sends an HTTP POST request to the H-PCF that serves UE-1, carrying the media description information (media info) negotiated through SDP, derived from the SDP answer message, containing information that requires the use of 512 kbps.
Step 4: the H-PCF initiates a request for establishing a voice bearer to the H-SMF of the UE-1, wherein the request carries parameters of the voice bearer to be established, and the parameters comprise 512kbps GBR information.
Step 5: the H-SMF sends a PDU session Update Request (e.g., nsmf_PDUSion_Update Request) to the V-SMF, and the PDU session Update Request carries parameters of the voice bearer to be established.
Step 6: the V-SMF determines that the PDU session update request is used to establish a voice bearer, and determines that the VPLMN establishes a voice call through EPS FB (i.e., determines that EPS FB is about to be triggered).
Specifically, the method for determining that the VPLMN establishes the voice call through the EPS FB mode by the V-SMF comprises at least one of the following steps:
a) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
b) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the roaming network user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
c) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN does not support the VONR service through the network configuration information.
It should be noted that, in step 6, the V-SMF determines that the VPLMN is an optional determining step for establishing a voice call through the EPS FB mode, and in one implementation, step 7 is performed only if the determination is yes. In yet another implementation, step 7 may be performed directly without performing this determination step.
Step 7: in case that the parameters supported by the VPLMN are inconsistent with the parameters of the voice bearer to be established in the PDU session Update request, the V-SMF sends a voice bearer establishment Response message (specifically, nsmf_pdusion_update Response) to the H-SMF/PGW-C, where the QoS parameter information supported by the VPLMN (i.e. the above-mentioned target parameters) is carried, specifically at least one of the following:
a) VPLMN supported 4G QoS parameters, such as 4G GBR and/or MBR, with the 4G QoS parameters being GBR as an example, VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit = 64Kbps;
b) Smaller values of VPLMN supported 4G QoS and 5G QoS, such as Min (4G GBR upper limit, 5G GBR upper limit), and/or Min (4G MBR,5G MBR).
Wherein, the inconsistency between the parameters supported by the VPLMN and the parameters of the voice bearer to be established in the PDU session update request refers to at least one of the following cases:
a) The VPLMN supported 4G QoS parameters (e.g., VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit = 64 Kbps) are less than the PDU session update requested QoS parameters;
b) The smaller of the 4G QoS and 5G QoS supported by the VPLMN is less than the QoS parameters of the PDU session update request.
Step 8-9: the H-SMF/PGW-C delivers the parameter information supported by the VPLMN to the P-CSCF through the H-PCF.
Step 10: the P-CSCF sends a SIP 488 message to UE-1.
Specifically, the SIP 488 message carries receivable SDP information, where the SDP information includes the acquired parameter conditions supported by the VPLMN.
Step 11: the UE-1 modifies the IMS call setup request message and sends a SIP re-Invite request message or a SIP Update request message to the S-CSCF, wherein SDP information of the SIP request message contains the received VPLMN parameters.
For example, UE-1 sends a SIP re-invite message carrying the information of the voice media to be established in the requested SDP, requesting to establish a voice bearer with GBR of 64kbps by b=as: 64.
Step 12: the S-CSCF sends a SIP re-Invite (re-Invite) request message or a SIP Update (Update) request message to the UE-2.
Step 13: UE-2 replies to the 183 message through the S-CSCF, including SDP answer in the 183 message.
Step 14-15: UE2 replies to UE1 with a 200OK message.
Thus, a voice call may be made between UE-1 and UE-2.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a second schematic flow chart of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 according to an embodiment of the present application. In FIG. 6, a flow of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 is illustrated, and the voice call is performed by UE-1 and UE-2 in a roaming to VPLMN scenario, specifically comprising the following steps:
step 1: UE-1 initiates a PDU session establishment request/modification message within the VPLMN, which is passed to the V-SMF.
Step 2: the V-SMF determines that the PDU session establishment request/modification message is for an IMS session and determines that the VPLMN is to establish a voice call through EPS FB mode.
Specifically, the V-SMF determines that the PDU session establishment request/modification message is for an IMS session, which may be implemented by: the V-SMF may determine that the PDU session setup/modification request message is for an IMS session through the IMS DNN in the PDU session setup/modification request message.
The method for determining that the VPLMN establishes the voice call through the EPS FB mode by the V-SMF comprises at least one of the following steps:
a) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
b) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the roaming network user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
c) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN does not support the VONR service through the network configuration information.
It should be noted that step 2 is an optional determining step, and in one implementation, step 3 is performed only if step 2 is determined to be "yes". In another implementation, step 3 may be directly performed without performing step 2.
Step 3: the V-SMF sends PDU session establishment/modification request message to the H-SMF/PGW-C, wherein the message contains parameter information supported by VPLMN, and specifically at least one of the following:
a) VPLMN supported 4G QoS parameters, such as 4G GBR and/or MBR, with the 4G QoS parameters being GBR as an example, VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit = 64Kbps;
b) Smaller values of VPLMN supported 4G QoS and 5G QoS, such as Min (4G GBR upper limit, 5G GBR upper limit), and/or Min (4G MBR,5G MBR).
Step 4: UE-1 initiates an IMS setup request, initiates the request through Invite message, carries the information of the voice media to be set up in the SDP of the request, and requests to set up the voice bearer with GBR of 512kbps through b=AS:512.
Step 5: the P-CSCF sends an HTTP POST request to the H-PCF that serves UE-1, carrying the media description information (media info) negotiated through SDP, derived from the SDP answer message, containing information that requires the use of 512 kbps.
Step 6: the H-PCF initiates a request for establishing a voice bearer to the H-SMF of the UE-1, wherein the request carries parameters of the voice bearer to be established, and the parameters comprise 512kbps GBR information.
And under the condition that the parameters supported by the VPLMN are inconsistent with the parameters of the voice bearer to be established in the PDU session updating request, the H-SMF/PGW-C sends a voice bearer establishment response message to the P-CSCF through the H-PCF, wherein the voice bearer establishment response message comprises the parameter information supported by the VPLMN.
The method is realized by the steps 7-8:
step 7: the H-SMF/PGW-C initiates an SM policy association modification reject to the H-PCF (initiated SM policy association modification reject).
Step 8: PCF sends HTTP POST request to P-CSCF, carrying parameter information supported by VPLMN.
Step 9: the P-CSCF sends a SIP 488 message to UE-1.
Specifically, the SIP 488 message carries receivable SDP information, where the SDP information includes the acquired parameter conditions supported by the VPLMN.
Step 10: the UE-1 modifies the IMS call establishment request message and sends a SIP re-Invite (re-Invite) request message or a SIP Update (Update) request message, wherein SDP information of the SIP request message contains the received VPLMN parameters.
For example, UE-1 sends a SIP re-invite message carrying the information of the voice media to be established in the requested SDP, requesting to establish a voice bearer with GBR of 64kbps by b=as: 64.
Step 11: the S-CSCF sends a SIP re-Invite (re-Invite) request message or a SIP Update (Update) request message to the UE-2.
Step 12: UE-2 replies to the 183 message through the S-CSCF, including SDP answer in the 183 message.
Step 13-14: UE2 replies to UE1 with a 200OK message.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a third flow chart of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 according to an embodiment of the present application. In FIG. 7, a flow of establishing a voice bearer between UE-1 and UE-2 is illustrated, and the voice call is performed by UE-1 and UE-2 in a roaming to VPLMN scenario, specifically comprising the following steps:
step 1: UE-1 initiates a PDU session establishment request/modification message within the VPLMN, which is passed to the V-SMF.
Step 2: the V-SMF determines that the PDU session establishment request/modification message is for an IMS session and determines that the VPLMN is to establish a voice call through EPS FB mode.
Specifically, the V-SMF determines that the PDU session establishment request/modification message is for an IMS session, which may be implemented by: the V-SMF may determine that the PDU session setup/modification request message is for an IMS session through the IMS DNN in the PDU session setup/modification request message.
The method for determining that the VPLMN establishes the voice call through the EPS FB mode by the V-SMF comprises at least one of the following steps:
a) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
b) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the roaming network user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
c) The V-SMF determines that the VPLMN does not support the VONR service through the network configuration information.
It should be noted that step 2 is an optional determining step, and in one implementation, step 3 is performed only if step 2 is determined to be "yes". In another implementation, step 3 may be directly performed without performing step 2.
Step 3: V-SMF sends PDU session establishment/modification request message to H-SMF/PGW-C;
in the case of executing step 2, the PDU session establishment/modification request message includes parameter information supported by VPLMN, specifically at least one of the following:
a) VPLMN supported 4G QoS parameters, such as 4G GBR and/or MBR, with the 4G QoS parameters being GBR as an example, VPLMN 4G GBR upper limit = 64Kbps;
b) Smaller values of VPLMN supported 4G QoS and 5G QoS, such as Min (4G GBR upper limit, 5G GBR upper limit), and/or Min (4G MBR,5G MBR).
Step 4: the H-SMF/PGW-C judges that the PDU session establishment request/modification message is for IMS session, and determines that the VPLMN establishes a voice call through EPS FB mode.
It should be noted that step 4 is an optional determining step, and in one implementation, step 5 is performed only if step 4 is determined to be "yes". In another implementation, step 5 may be directly performed without performing step 4.
Specifically, the H-SMF/PGW-C determines that the PDU session establishment request/modification message is for an IMS session, which may be implemented by: the H-SMF/PGW-C may determine, via the IMS DNN in the PDU session establishment/modification request message, that the PDU session establishment/modification request message is for an IMS session.
The method for determining that the VPLMN establishes the voice call through the EPS FB mode by the H-SMF/PGW-C comprises at least one of the following steps:
a) The H-SMF/PGW-C determines that the VPLMN supports voice service of the user in an EPS FB mode through network configuration information;
b) The H-SMF/PGW-C determines that the VPLMN supports the voice service of the roaming user in the EPS FB mode through the network configuration information;
c) The H-SMF/PGW-C determines that the VPLMN does not support the VONR service through the network configuration information.
Step 5: the H-SMF/PGW-C sends a session policy association setup request/modification message to the H-PCF serving the UE-1.
Step 6: UE-1 initiates an IMS setup request, initiates the request through Invite message, carries the information of the voice media to be set up in the SDP of the request, and requests to set up the voice bearer with GBR of 512kbps through b=AS:512.
Step 7: the P-CSCF sends an HTTP POST request to the H-PCF carrying the media description information (media info) negotiated through the SDP, derived from the SDP answer message, containing information that requires the use of 512 kbps.
Step 8: the H-PCF sends an HTTP POST request to the P-CSCF, and the HTTP POST request carries parameter information supported by the VPLMN.
Step 9: the P-CSCF sends a SIP 488 message to UE-1.
Specifically, the SIP 488 message carries receivable SDP information, where the SDP information includes the acquired parameter conditions supported by the VPLMN.
Step 10: the UE-1 modifies the IMS call establishment request message and sends a SIP re-Invite (re-Invite) request message or a SIP Update (Update) request message, wherein SDP information of the SIP request message contains the received VPLMN parameters.
For example, UE-1 sends a SIP re-invite message carrying the information of the voice media to be established in the requested SDP, requesting to establish a voice bearer with GBR of 64kbps by b=as: 64.
Step 11: the S-CSCF sends a SIP re-Invite (re-Invite) request message or a SIP Update (Update) request message to the UE-2.
