P-CSCF作为用户接入到 IMS 系统的入口网元, 所有的会话初始协议 ( Session Initiation Protocol, 简称 SIP )信令无论来自 UE还是发给 UE的, 都必须经过 P-CSCF。 当 UE在 IMS网络注册成功后, P-CSCF在本地保存 UE 的联系地址、 UE的公共用户标识( Public User Identity, 简称 PUI ) 、 UE的 私有用户标识( Private User Identity, 简称 PVI ) 。  The P-CSCF is used as the ingress network element for the user to access the IMS system. All Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling must pass through the P-CSCF whether it is from the UE or the UE. After the UE is successfully registered in the IMS network, the P-CSCF locally stores the contact address of the UE, the Public User Identity (PUI) of the UE, and the Private User Identity (PVI) of the UE.
S-CSCF是 IMS的核心网元,位于归属网络,为 UE进行会话控制和注册 服务。 当 UE处于会话中时, S-CSCF处理网络中的会话状态。 当 UE在 IMS 网络注册成功后, S-CSCF在本地保存 UE注册到 IMS网络所使用的 P-CSCF 的网络 ID、 P-CSCF的 IP地址、 UE的联系地址、 UE的公共用户标识 PUI、 UE的私有用户标识 PVI、 UE的公共用户标识所对应的用户配置数据、 保存 UE注册状态的 HSS地址或名称等信息。 The S-CSCF is the core network element of the IMS, located in the home network, and performs session control and registration for the UE. Service. When the UE is in a session, the S-CSCF handles the session state in the network. After the UE successfully registers with the IMS network, the S-CSCF locally saves the network ID of the P-CSCF used by the UE to register with the IMS network, the IP address of the P-CSCF, the contact address of the UE, the public user identity of the UE, the PUI, and the UE. The private user identifier PVI, the user configuration data corresponding to the public user identifier of the UE, and the HSS address or name of the UE registration state are saved.
HSS是 IMS系统中所有与用户和服务器相关的数据的存储核心, 不仅保 存用户和服务器相关的静态数据, 而且保存某些动态数据。 当 UE在 IMS网 络注册成功后, HSS保存分配给 UE的 S-CSCF地址或名称。  The HSS is the storage core for all user and server related data in the IMS system. It not only saves user and server related static data, but also saves some dynamic data. After the UE successfully registers with the IMS network, the HSS saves the S-CSCF address or name assigned to the UE.
UE注册成功后, IMS网络为 UE所分配的 P-CSCF、 S-CSCF, 以及所对 应的 HSS, 构成了 UE后续通信使用的通信链路。 在注册成功后, UE发起呼 叫的过程、 UE被呼叫的过程,网络都将使用已经为该 UE分配好的通信链路。  After the UE is successfully registered, the P-CSCF, the S-CSCF, and the corresponding HSS allocated by the IMS network for the UE constitute a communication link used by the UE for subsequent communication. After the registration is successful, the UE initiates the call process, the UE is called, and the network will use the communication link already allocated for the UE.
在通常情况下, UE注册成功后, 网络分配给该 UE的通信链路, 在后续 过程中, 是保持不变的。 这即意味着, 一旦这个链路上的某一个环节出了问 题, 将会影响 UE后续的起呼和终呼的过程, 使得通信不能正常进行。  In the normal case, after the UE is successfully registered, the communication link allocated by the network to the UE remains unchanged in the subsequent process. This means that once a problem occurs on a link on the link, it will affect the subsequent call and termination procedures of the UE, making the communication not work properly.
由于 S-CSCF在 IMS信令控制流程中的重要性, 如果 S-CSCF出现故障, 将直接导致服务不能得到实现, 严重影响用户的业务体验。  Due to the importance of the S-CSCF in the IMS signaling control process, if the S-CSCF fails, the service will not be implemented directly, which seriously affects the user's service experience.
对于任何 UE发起的呼叫或者指向 UE的呼叫, 呼叫控制信令都将达到 S-CSCF, 由 S-CSCF根据业务配置来决定控制流程; 同时 S-CSCF也有可能 接收到 AS代替 UE发起的呼叫。 在这些情况下, 如果 S-CSCF失败将导致呼 叫流程的中断, 只有等待 UE主动发现了网络错误而重新发起初始注册过程 才能解决。而 UE主动发现网络错误的过程取决于 UE发起周期性重注册的时 间, 通常这个时间间隔会在数分钟到数十分钟左右, 这期间如果有另外的用 户呼叫该 UE, 则呼叫将不能正常执行, 而且 UE自身如果发起呼叫也将会失 败。  For any UE initiated call or a call directed to the UE, the call control signaling will reach the S-CSCF, and the S-CSCF determines the control flow according to the service configuration; at the same time, the S-CSCF may also receive the call initiated by the AS instead of the UE. In these cases, if the S-CSCF fails, the call flow will be interrupted. Only after waiting for the UE to actively discover the network error and restart the initial registration process can the solution be resolved. The process of the UE actively discovering the network error depends on the time when the UE initiates periodic re-registration. Usually, the time interval will be from several minutes to several tens of minutes. During this period, if another user calls the UE, the call will not be executed normally. And the UE itself will fail if it initiates a call.
为了解决上述由于核心网元故障问题而引起的服务中断,改善用户体验, In order to solve the above-mentioned service interruption caused by the core network element failure problem and improve the user experience,
3GPP ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三代合作伙伴计划)组织成立了 IMS故障恢复研究项目, 目的就在于寻找核心网元发生故障后的解决方案。 The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) organized an IMS failure recovery research project to find solutions to failures of core network elements.
其中, 针对 S-CSCF故障, 有如下研究结果: ( A )如果网络接收到的是 UE发起的呼叫, 为了继续呼叫流程, 故障恢 复流程中的 S-CSCF (该 S-CSCF可能是先前的 S-CSCF故障后恢复, 但是丟 失业务数据; 也可能是由于原先的 S-CSCF故障无响应, 网络为了实现故障 恢复而重新选择的一个新的 S-CSCF )必须要能获得用户的业务配置数据、 注 册状态、 为 UE分配的 P-CSCF、 UE的 IP地址和端口。 在该过程中, 由于呼 叫请求是 UE发起的, 经过 P-CSCF发送到 S-CSCF, 故 S-CSCF可以从呼叫 请求中提取 P-CSCF地址信息、 UE的地址和端口信息, 以便后续使用。 Among them, for the S-CSCF failure, the following research results: (A) If the network receives a UE-initiated call, in order to continue the call flow, the S-CSCF in the failure recovery process may be recovered after the previous S-CSCF failure, but the service data is lost; Because the original S-CSCF fails to respond, a new S-CSCF that the network reselects for fault recovery must obtain the user's service configuration data, registration status, P-CSCF allocated to the UE, and UE. IP address and port. In this process, since the call request is initiated by the UE and sent to the S-CSCF through the P-CSCF, the S-CSCF can extract the P-CSCF address information, the address and port information of the UE from the call request for subsequent use.
( B )如果网络接收到的是指向 UE的呼叫, 为了继续呼叫流程, 故障恢 复流程中的 S-CSCF (和(A )相同, 有两种情况) 同样必须要能获得用户的 业务配置数据、 注册状态、 为 UE分配的 P-CSCF、 UE的 IP地址和端口。 然 而, 和(A )情况不同的是, 由于呼叫是第三方发给 UE的, S-CSCF不可能 从呼叫请求中获取 P-CSCF地址信息、 UE的 IP地址和端口信息, 而 S-CSCF 需要使用这些信息将呼叫发送给 P-CSCF。  (B) If the network receives a call directed to the UE, in order to continue the call flow, the S-CSCF in the fault recovery process (same as (A), there are two cases) must also obtain the user's service configuration data, Registration status, P-CSCF assigned to the UE, IP address and port of the UE. However, unlike the case of (A), since the call is sent to the UE by a third party, the S-CSCF cannot obtain the P-CSCF address information, the IP address and the port information of the UE from the call request, and the S-CSCF needs Use this information to send the call to the P-CSCF.
此外, 还有 AS代替 UE发起呼叫的情况, 其处理情况是类似于(A )的。 在上述(A ) 、 ( B ) 中, 用户的业务配置数据用于触发业务逻辑, 决定 呼叫流程的下一跳应被哪个网元处理; 注册状态用于判断 UE是已注册的还 是未注册的, 从而针对已注册用户触发正常业务流程, 针对未注册用户触发 未注册业务流程; P-CSCF地址对于指向 UE的呼叫情况下, S-CSCF需要知 道该地址, 以便将信令发送到该 P-CSCF。  In addition, there is also a case where the AS initiates a call in place of the UE, and the processing situation is similar to (A). In the above (A) and (B), the service configuration data of the user is used to trigger the service logic to determine which network element the next hop of the call flow should be processed; the registration status is used to determine whether the UE is registered or not. Therefore, the normal business process is triggered for the registered user, and the unregistered service flow is triggered for the unregistered user; when the P-CSCF address is for the call to the UE, the S-CSCF needs to know the address, so as to send signaling to the P- CSCF.
为了解决上述(A ) 、 ( B )情况所面临的问题, 现有研究釆用了备份、 恢复的解决方案, 如图 2所示, 包括如下步骤:  In order to solve the problems faced by (A) and (B) above, the existing research uses a backup and recovery solution, as shown in Figure 2, including the following steps:
S201 , 在 UE执行 IMS注册时, S-CSCF向 HSS备份所存储在 S-CSCF 上的关键信息;  S201. When the UE performs IMS registration, the S-CSCF backs up the key information stored in the S-CSCF to the HSS.
在注册过程中,当鉴权成功后, S-CSCF向 HSS发送服务分配请求( Server Assignment Request, 简称 SAR ) , 更新 S-CSCF名称、 获取用户的业务配置, 同时 S-CSCF将存储在自身上的关于 UE注册的相关信息 (包括: P-CSCF的 网络 ID、 P-CSCF的 IP地址、 UE的联系地址、 UE的公共用户标识、 UE的 私有用户标识等)打包成一个 S-CSCF Info的信息包, 保存到 HSS上。 S202a, UE发起呼叫; 或 During the registration process, after the authentication succeeds, the S-CSCF sends a Service Assignment Request (SAR) to the HSS, updates the S-CSCF name, obtains the user's service configuration, and the S-CSCF stores it on itself. Information about the UE registration (including: the network ID of the P-CSCF, the IP address of the P-CSCF, the contact address of the UE, the public user identity of the UE, the private user identity of the UE, etc.) is packaged into an S-CSCF Info The information package is saved to the HSS. S202a, the UE initiates a call; or
S202b , 第三方发起执行 UE 的终呼, 该呼叫经过 I-CSCF 被发送给 S-CSCF;  S202b, the third party initiates a terminal call of the UE, and the call is sent to the S-CSCF through the I-CSCF;
S203, 网络(可以是 I-CSCF或 P-CSCF等网络设备 )如果检测到 S-CSCF 故障, 比如宕机无响应或 S-CSCF返回错误, 针对 S-CSCF返回错误, 可以判 断 S-CSCF故障恢复后无用户数据,则可以继续使用该 S-CSCF;如果 S-CSCF 宕机无响应, 则需要重新选择一个 S-CSCF, 重选 S-CSCF可以通过 I-CSCF 向 HSS执行 S-CSCF查询来进行; 如果重新选择了一个 S-CSCF作为执行故 障恢复的 S-CSCF, 则网络将呼叫请求转发到该 S-CSCF;  S203, the network (which may be a network device such as an I-CSCF or a P-CSCF), if an S-CSCF failure is detected, such as a failure of the downtime or an error of the S-CSCF, an error is returned for the S-CSCF, and the S-CSCF may be determined to be faulty. If there is no user data after recovery, the S-CSCF can continue to be used; if the S-CSCF is not responding, then an S-CSCF needs to be reselected, and the S-CSCF can be reselected to perform S-CSCF query to the HSS through the I-CSCF. If the S-CSCF is reselected as the S-CSCF performing the fault recovery, the network forwards the call request to the S-CSCF;
S204, S-CSCF由于是故障后恢复的或者是重选的, 因此均无用户数据, 则 S-CSCF需向 HSS发送 SAR请求, 请求用户的业务配置和备份的 S-CSCF Info信息包(S-CSCF信息的信息包) 。 HSS在收到 SAR请求后, 通过服务 分配响应 ( Server Assignment Answer, 简称 SAA )命令, 向 S-CSCF返回用 户业务配置和备份的 S-CSCF Info信息包;  S204: The S-CSCF needs to send the SAR request to the HSS, and the S-CSCF needs to send the SAR request to the HSS, and the S-CSCF Info packet is requested to be backed up by the S-CSCF because it is recovered after the fault or is reselected. - CSCF information packet). After receiving the SAR request, the HSS returns the S-CSCF Info packet of the user service configuration and backup to the S-CSCF through the Service Assignment Answer (SAA) command;
S205, S-CSCF在本地保存 HSS所返回的数据, 并判断用户当前注册状 态;  S205: The S-CSCF locally saves the data returned by the HSS, and determines the current registration status of the user.
按现行规定, 在前述 S204步骤中, 如果 HSS没有在 SAA响应中返回 S-CSCF Info信息包, 则 S-CSCF认为当前用户是未注册的。 S-CSCF需要根 据 SAA响应中所包含的信息来判断用户当前的注册状态。  According to the current regulations, in the foregoing step S204, if the HSS does not return the S-CSCF Info packet in the SAA response, the S-CSCF considers that the current user is unregistered. The S-CSCF needs to determine the current registration status of the user based on the information contained in the SAA response.
S206a、 S206b, S-CSCF根据所获取的用户数据,执行后续呼叫处理流程, 在该过程中, S-CSCF根据所判断的用户当前的注册状态,从而确定是触发注 册业务, 还是触发未注册业务。  S206a, S206b, and the S-CSCF perform a subsequent call processing process according to the acquired user data. In the process, the S-CSCF determines whether to trigger the registration service or trigger the unregistered service according to the determined current registration status of the user. .
图 2所示的流程描述了在现有技术条件下, 针对 S-CSCF故障所釆用的 故障恢复解决方案。 在该解决方案中, 需要对现有 S-CSCF进行扩充, 以使 得 S-CSCF具有故障恢复的支持能力。 而现实情况中, 一个网络中所部署的 S-CSCF, 其对故障恢复的支持能力可能是有差别的, 也就是说存在这样的情 况: 某些 S-CSCF不支持故障恢复, 另一些 S-CSCF支持故障恢复。  The flow shown in Figure 2 describes a fault recovery solution for S-CSCF failures under prior art conditions. In this solution, the existing S-CSCF needs to be extended to enable the S-CSCF to have failover support. In reality, the S-CSCF deployed in a network may have different support for fault recovery. That is to say, there are some cases: Some S-CSCFs do not support fault recovery, others S- CSCF supports failback.
在某些情况下, 当前针对 S-CSCF故障所使用的备份恢复机制, 存在一 定的缺陷, 可能导致 S-CSCF错误地判断用户的注册状态, 从而错误地触发 未注册业务, 导致业务流程的混乱。 发明内容 In some cases, there is a backup recovery mechanism currently used for S-CSCF failures. The fixed defect may cause the S-CSCF to incorrectly judge the registration status of the user, thereby erroneously triggering the unregistered service, resulting in confusion of the business process. Summary of the invention
本发明所要解决的技术问题是提出一种 S-CSCF故障恢复处理方法, 可 以避免由用户注册状态判断失误所带来的业务处理混乱。  The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a S-CSCF fault recovery processing method, which can avoid the business processing confusion caused by the user registration state judgment error.
申请人通过分析发现, 当不支持故障恢复和支持故障恢复的 S-CSCF在 一起工作时, 可能会出现下面所描述的问题: UE执行 IMS注册时, 被分配 的是不支持故障恢复的 S-CSCF1 , 由于该 S-CSCF1不支持故障恢复, 因此在 注册过程中, 该 S-CSCF1没有向 HSS备份 S-CSCF Info信息包。 当故障发生 后, 有呼叫达到, 网络为该 UE选择了一个支持故障恢复的 S-CSCF2, 则当 该 S-CSCF2向 HSS发送 SAR请求时, HSS没有返回 S-CSCF Info信息包, 因此 S-CSCF2认为该用户是未注册用户, 从而错误地触发了未注册业务。  The applicant found through analysis that when the S-CSCF that does not support fault recovery and supports fault recovery works together, the following problems may occur: When the UE performs IMS registration, it is assigned an S- that does not support fault recovery. CSCF1, since the S-CSCF1 does not support failback, the S-CSCF1 does not back up the S-CSCF Info packet to the HSS during the registration process. When a fault occurs, a call is reached, and the network selects an S-CSCF2 that supports fault recovery for the UE. When the S-CSCF2 sends a SAR request to the HSS, the HSS does not return the S-CSCF Info packet, so S- CSCF2 considers the user to be an unregistered user, thereby erroneously triggering an unregistered service.

本发明的较佳实施方式 Preferred embodiment of the invention
在用户成功注册到 IMS网络后, IMS网络为用户(UE )分配了 S-CSCF。 如果该 S-CSCF发生故障, 无响应或丟失用户数据, 将直接导致呼叫不能进 行。 针对该缺陷, 现有技术是在用户注册到 IMS的过程中将保存在 S-CSCF 上的信息打包成一个 S-CSCF Info信息包, 保存在 HSS上; 等 S-CSCF发生 故障后, 由网络确定一个可以执行故障恢复流程的 S-CSCF, 由该 S-CSCF向 HSS请求用户业务配置数据、 S-CSCF Info信息包, 以恢复先前为 UE服务的 S-CSCF环境, 以便使得呼叫过程能够成功执行。  After the user successfully registers with the IMS network, the IMS network assigns an S-CSCF to the user (UE). If the S-CSCF fails, no response or loss of user data will directly result in the call not being able to proceed. In the prior art, the information stored in the S-CSCF is packaged into an S-CSCF Info packet and stored in the HSS during the process of the user registering with the IMS. After the S-CSCF fails, the network is terminated. Determining an S-CSCF that can perform a fault recovery process, and the S-CSCF requests the user service configuration data and the S-CSCF Info packet from the HSS to restore the S-CSCF environment previously served for the UE, so that the call process can be successful. carried out.
然而, 由于某些原因, 可能导致 UE在执行 IMS注册的时候, 代表为 UE 服务的 S-CSCF的服务环境的 S-CSCF Info信息包并没有被保存到 HSS上, 因此, 后续故障发生后网络所指定的用于执行故障恢复的 S-CSCF无法获取 该 S-CSCF Info信息包, 从而根据现有故障恢复流程中判断用户状态的方法, 将导致对用户状态判断的失误, 即将已注册判断为未注册, 从而可能触发未 注册业务, 导致业务执行的混乱。  However, for some reason, the S-CSCF Info packet representing the service environment of the S-CSCF serving the UE is not saved to the HSS when the UE performs the IMS registration, and therefore, the network after the subsequent failure occurs. The specified S-CSCF for performing fault recovery cannot obtain the S-CSCF Info packet, and the method for judging the state of the user according to the existing fault recovery process will cause a mistake in judging the state of the user, that is, the registered judgment is Unregistered, which may trigger unregistered services, causing confusion in business execution.
针对该缺陷, 本发明提供了一种方法, 用以明确地判断用户的注册状态 并返回给 S-CSCF, 避免可能发生的判断失误缺陷。  In response to this drawback, the present invention provides a method for explicitly determining the registration status of a user and returning it to the S-CSCF to avoid possible errors in judgment errors.
下面结合附图和实施例对本发明作进一步详细的说明。 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
第一实施例  First embodiment
图 3是本发明的一个实施例, 用以描述在故障恢复过程中, 明确地检测 用户的注册状态的流程。  Figure 3 is an embodiment of the present invention for describing the flow of explicitly detecting the registration status of a user during a failure recovery process.
S301 , 当 S-CSCF故障发生后, 网络接收到呼叫, 该呼叫可能是 UE发起 的 (也即用户发起的) 、 AS代替 UE发起的、 或第三方发起的指向 UE的。 网络根据 S-CSCF的响应情况判断该 S-CSCF的故障情况,并根据故障情况确 定一个可以执行故障恢复流程的 S-CSCF; S301. After the S-CSCF fault occurs, the network receives the call, where the call may be initiated by the UE (that is, initiated by the user), the AS is initiated by the UE, or the third party initiates the UE. The network determines the fault condition of the S-CSCF according to the response condition of the S-CSCF, and determines an S-CSCF that can perform the fault recovery process according to the fault condition;
这里, 可执行故障恢复流程的 S-CSCF可能是原先分配给 UE、 故障恢复 后已无用户数据的那个 S-CSCF, 也可能是由于先前的 S-CSCF无响应、 而后 网络重新选择的一个新的 S-CSCF。 如果重新选择了一个 S-CSCF作为执行故 障恢复的 S-CSCF, 则网络将呼叫请求转发到该 S-CSCF。  Here, the S-CSCF that can perform the fault recovery process may be the S-CSCF that was originally allocated to the UE, has no user data after the fault recovery, or may be a new one because the previous S-CSCF is not responding, and then the network is reselected. S-CSCF. If an S-CSCF is reselected as the S-CSCF for failover, the network forwards the call request to the S-CSCF.
5302, 用以执行故障恢复流程的 S-CSCF向 HSS发送 SAR请求,请求获 取用户的业务配置和先前备份的 S-CSCF Info信息包;  5302. The S-CSCF that is used to perform the fault recovery process sends a SAR request to the HSS, requesting to obtain the service configuration of the user and the previously backed up S-CSCF Info packet.
5303 , HSS接收到 SAR请求后, 如判断本地存在该用户的 S-CSCF Info 信息包, 则通过 SAA响应返回该用户的业务配置和 S-CSCF Info信息包, 如 果不存在 S-CSCF Info信息包,通过 SAA响应中返回该用户的业务配置信息, 并显式地返回该用户当前的注册状态信息;  5303. After receiving the SAR request, if the HSS determines that the S-CSCF Info packet of the user exists locally, the HSS returns the service configuration and the S-CSCF Info packet of the user by using the SAA response, if the S-CSCF Info packet does not exist. Returning the user's service configuration information through the SAA response, and explicitly returning the current registration status information of the user;
在该步骤中, 由于 HSS中储存有该用户的注册信息, 因此 HSS可以直接 检查该用户当前的注册状态,并检查和用户关联的 S-CSCF Info信息包是否存 在。 另外, 所谓 "显式地返回" 即在响应中存在专用于指示用户当前是否注 册(即其当前的注册状态) 的信息 (如专用于指示用户当前的注册状态的新 增的参数或在已有参数中新增的响应值), S-CSCF根据该信息即可判断出用 户的注册状态, 不需要通过含有其他用途的信息来判断, 或者说无需进一步 根据其他条件判断。  In this step, since the registration information of the user is stored in the HSS, the HSS can directly check the current registration status of the user and check whether the S-CSCF Info packet associated with the user exists. In addition, the so-called "explicit return" means that there is information in the response that is specific to indicate whether the user is currently registered (ie, its current registration status) (such as a new parameter dedicated to indicating the current registration status of the user or Based on the information, the S-CSCF can determine the registration status of the user. It does not need to be judged by information containing other uses, or it is not necessary to further judge according to other conditions.
S304, S-CSCF收到 SAA响应后,获取用户的业务配置信息,如判断 SAA 响应中没有 S-CSCF Info信息包, 则检测该 SAA响应中返回的用户当前的注 册状态信息, 即上述专用于指示用户当前的注册状态的信息, 获知 UE 当前 注册状态;  S304: After receiving the SAA response, the S-CSCF obtains the service configuration information of the user. If it is determined that there is no S-CSCF Info packet in the SAA response, the S-CSCF detects the current registration status information of the user returned in the SAA response, that is, the foregoing is dedicated to Information indicating the current registration status of the user, and obtaining the current registration status of the UE;
如 SAA响应中有 S-CSCF Info信息包, S-CSCF可以进一步根据 SAA所 包含的错误响应或其他信息来判断该用户当前是否已注册,如通过 SAA中的 错误信息 ( Experiment-Result ) 域中的错误响应值来判断, 如在返回值为 DIAMETER— ERROR— IN— ASSIGNMENT— TYPE 或 DIAMETER— SUCCESS 时, S-CSCF认为当前用户是已注册的, 如果返回值是其它值则认为当前用户 是未注册的。 S305, S-CSCF使用已获得的数据, 继续相应的后续呼叫处理流程, 在该 过程中, S-CSCF根据用户当前的注册状态确定是触发注册业务,还是触发未 注册业务。 即如果用户已注册则触发注册业务, 如果用户未注册则触发未注 册业务。 If there is an S-CSCF Info packet in the SAA response, the S-CSCF may further determine whether the user is currently registered according to the error response or other information included in the SAA, such as passing the error information (Experiment-Result) field in the SAA. The error response value is used to judge, for example, when the return value is DIAMETER_ERROR_IN_ASSIGNMENT_TYPE or DIAMETER_SUCCESS, the S-CSCF considers that the current user is registered, and if the return value is other values, the current user is considered to be Registered. S305. The S-CSCF uses the obtained data to continue the corresponding subsequent call processing process. In the process, the S-CSCF determines whether to trigger the registration service or trigger the unregistered service according to the current registration status of the user. That is, if the user is already registered, the registration service is triggered, and if the user is not registered, the unregistered service is triggered.
此实施例有一个明显的变例, 在该变例中, HSS判断本地不存在所请求 的用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包且用户当前的注册状态为已注册状态时,再通过 SAA响应返回该用户的业务配置信息并显式地返回该用户已注册的状态信息 (即返回专用于指示用户已注册的信息) ; 如为未注册状态时, 可以只返回 该用户的业务配置信息 (默认为未注册状态); S-CSCF收到后根据是否存在 该已注册的状态信息 (即专用于指示用户已注册的信息)来判断用户是否已 注册。 作为一种变换, 在状态为未注册时, 显式地返回用户未注册的状态信 息也是可以的。  There is a significant variation in this embodiment. In this variant, the HSS determines that the S-CSCF Info packet of the requested user does not exist locally and the current registration status of the user is the registered state, and then returns the SAA response. The user's service configuration information and explicitly returns the status information registered by the user (ie, returning information indicating that the user has registered); if not, the service configuration information of the user may be returned only (default is not Registration status); After receiving the S-CSCF, it is determined whether the user has registered according to whether or not the registered status information exists (i.e., information dedicated to indicating that the user has registered). As a change, it is also possible to explicitly return status information that the user has not registered when the status is unregistered.
下面对本发明其他几个实施例进行说明, 这些实施例主要是用户当前的 注册状态信息的指示方式不同, 以下主要描述指示方式相关的内容, 其他内 容请参照图 3所示的实施例。 The other embodiments of the present invention are described below. The embodiments mainly indicate that the current registration status information of the user is different. The following mainly describes the content related to the indication mode. For other content, refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3.
第二实施例  Second embodiment
本实施例中, 无论本地是否存在用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包, HSS均在 SAA响应中返回用户当前注册状态。  In this embodiment, regardless of whether the user's S-CSCF Info packet exists locally, the HSS returns the current registration status of the user in the SAA response.
HSS收到执行故障恢复过程的 S-CSCF发送的 SAR请求后, 无论本地是 否存在请求的用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包, HSS在 SAA响应中均无条件地返 回用户当前的注册状态信息; 而 S-CSCF收到 SAA响应后, 从其中的用户当 前的注册状态信息判断出用户的注册状态。 较佳地, 存在和不存在用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包时, 釆用相同的方式如第一实施例不存在用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包时釆用的方式来指示用户当前的注册状态。  After receiving the SAR request sent by the S-CSCF that performs the fault recovery process, the HSS unconditionally returns the current registration status information of the user in the SAA response regardless of whether the S-CSCF Info packet of the requested user exists locally; After receiving the SAA response, the CSCF determines the registration status of the user from the current registration status information of the user. Preferably, when there is and does not exist the S-CSCF Info packet of the user, the user uses the same manner as the first embodiment to indicate the current registration status of the user when the S-CSCF Info packet of the user does not exist. .
本实施例中, HSS返回的用户当前的注册状态信息可以包含在 S-CSCF Info信息包中 (存在 S-CSCF Info信息包时) , 也可以包含在 SAA响应中的 其它位置。 该注册状态信息可以是专用于指示用户当前是否已注册的信息, 也可以是通过多个信息如参数值的组合。 即既可以是显示地返回该信息, 也 可以是非显式地返回。 其中在显示地返回时, S-CSCF直接根据 SAA响应中 显式的用户当前的注册状态信息获取用户当前的注册状态, 无需进一步才艮据 其他条件判断。 In this embodiment, the current registration status information of the user returned by the HSS may be included in the S-CSCF Info packet (when the S-CSCF Info packet exists), or may be included in other locations in the SAA response. The registration status information may be information dedicated to indicating whether the user is currently registered. It can also be through a combination of multiple information such as parameter values. That is, the information may be returned in a display or may be returned non-explicitly. When the display returns, the S-CSCF directly obtains the current registration status of the user according to the current registration status information of the explicit user in the SAA response, and does not need to further determine according to other conditions.
第三实施例 Third embodiment
本实施例的 HSS在返回 SAA响应给 S-CSCF时, 通过 SAA响应的成功 响应或异常原因等已有参数的参数值来指示用户当前的注册状态。  When the HSS in this embodiment returns a SAA response to the S-CSCF, the current registration status of the user is indicated by the parameter value of the existing parameter such as the successful response of the SAA response or the abnormal cause.
HSS收到执行故障恢复过程的 S-CSCF发送的 SAR请求后, 如本地不存 在用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包且用户当前的注册状态为已注册时,则通过 SAA 响应向 S-CSCF返回一个已有参数新增的特定响应值, 否则不返回该特定响 应值; S-CSCF在收到的 SAA响应中没有用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包时,根据 是否包含该特定响应值判断出该用户当前的注册状态。 该特定响应值即用于 指示用户当前已注册的信息, 可以是专用的响应值即无需其他信息即可判断 出用户当前的注册状态。  After receiving the SAR request sent by the S-CSCF that performs the fault recovery process, if the S-CSCF Info packet of the user does not exist locally and the current registration status of the user is already registered, the HSS returns a S-CSCF response through the SAA response. The specific response value added by the existing parameter, otherwise the specific response value is not returned; when the S-CSCF does not have the user's S-CSCF Info packet in the received SAA response, the user is judged according to whether the specific response value is included or not. Current registration status. The specific response value is used to indicate that the user is currently registered, and may be a dedicated response value, that is, the user's current registration status may be determined without additional information.
HSS也可以不论是否存在用户的 S-CSCF Info信息包, 在用户当前的注 册状态为已注册时均在 SAA响应中返回该特定响应值,在用户当前的注册状 态为未注册时不返回该特定响应值。 该处理方式可以是 HSS无条件地执行, 或者是 HSS收到 S-CSCF返回注册状态的请求时执行。 另外, 对于未注册的 情况, 使用另一特定响应值来指示也是可以的, 此时可以用不包含该特定响 应值的方式来指示已注册的情况。  The HSS may also return the specific response value in the SAA response when the user's current registration status is already registered, regardless of whether the user's current S-CSCF Info packet is present, and does not return the specific response when the user's current registration status is unregistered. Response. This processing may be performed by the HSS unconditionally, or when the HSS receives a request from the S-CSCF to return to the registration state. In addition, for the case of unregistered, it is also possible to use another specific response value to indicate that the registered condition can be indicated in a manner that does not include the specific response value.
举例来说, 该特定响应值可以是 SAA中新增的一种 Result Code值(处 理响应值) , 对应于新增的一种返回类型, 如该值可以设为: DIAMETER— SUCCESS— USER— ALREADY— REGISTERED, 该值表明了 HSS 成功执行了 S-CSCF的 SAR请求, 并且告诉 S-CSCF该当前用户是已经注册的。 S-CSCF 如在 SAA响应中检测到该值, 则可以判定用户已注册, 否则可以判定用户未 注册。  For example, the specific response value may be a new Result Code value (processing response value) in the SAA, corresponding to a new return type, such as the value can be set to: DIAMETER_ SUCCESS_ USER_ ALREADY – REGISTERED, This value indicates that the HSS successfully executed the SAR request for the S-CSCF and told the S-CSCF that the current user is already registered. If the S-CSCF detects this value in the SAA response, it can be determined that the user has registered, otherwise it can be determined that the user is not registered.
本实施例的一个变例中, HSS可以通过若干参数值来联合指示用户当前 的注册状态,相应地, S-CSCF需要根据该若干参数的值来判定用户是否已注 册。 举例来说, 如果在 SAA响应中没有包含 S-CSCF Info信息, 但 HSS成功 执行了 S-CSCF的 SAR请求,此时 Result Code值为 DIAMETER— SUCCESS, 如用户已注册, 则在异常原因中增加一特定响应值: DIAMETER— ERROR— USER— ALREADY— REGISTERED , 此时 SAA中虽然没有 S-CSCF Info信息 , 但 S-CSCF判断 Result Code值为 DIAMETER— SUCCESS后, 如进一步判断 异常原因中包含该特定响应值, 则可以判断出用户在 HSS上是已注册的。 如 果 异 常 原 因 中 没有 包含 DIAMETER— ERROR— USER— ALREADY— REGISTERED, 则 S-CSCF仍然认为用户是未注册的。 In a variation of this embodiment, the HSS may jointly indicate the current user by a plurality of parameter values. The registration status, correspondingly, the S-CSCF needs to determine whether the user has registered based on the values of the several parameters. For example, if the S-CSCF Info information is not included in the SAA response, but the HSS successfully performs the SAR request of the S-CSCF, the Result Code value is DIAMETER_SUCCESS. If the user is already registered, the abnormal cause is added. A specific response value: DIAMETER - ERROR - USER - ALREADY - REGISTERED , although there is no S-CSCF Info information in the SAA, but the S-CSCF judges that the Result Code value is DIAMETER_SUCCESS, if it is further determined that the abnormal cause contains the specific The response value can be used to determine that the user is registered on the HSS. If DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_ALREADY_ REGISTERED is not included in the cause of the exception, the S-CSCF still considers the user unregistered.
另夕卜,所述故障恢复 S-CSCF执行故障恢复流程,向归属用户服务器 HSS 发送的服务分配请求中可以包含要求 HSS返回用户当前的注册状态的信息。 In addition, the fault recovery S-CSCF performs a fault recovery process, and the service allocation request sent to the home subscriber server HSS may include information that requires the HSS to return the current registration status of the user.
综上所述,本发明处理 S-CSCF故障的方法,在 S-CSCF发生故障后的故 障处理流程中, 通过让 HSS 判断并返回用户的注册状态信息, 避免由于 S-CSCF根据 HSS返回的响应结果中的信息判断所导致的失误, 可以有效地 避免由于注册状态判断错误而导致的业务触发混乱。  In summary, the method for processing the S-CSCF fault in the present invention avoids the response returned by the S-CSCF according to the HSS by letting the HSS determine and return the registration status information of the user in the fault handling process after the S-CSCF fails. The error caused by the information in the result judgment can effectively avoid the business triggering confusion caused by the registration state judgment error.
