Description

单无线接入方式语音切换的实现方法
及系统
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 尤其涉及一种单无线接入方式下语音切换的实现 方法及系统。
背景技术
在第二代(2 Generation, 简称 2G ) 、 第三代( 3 Generation, 简称 3G ) 移动通讯网络中, 如全球移动通讯系统 ( Global System for Mobile communications , 简称为 GSM ) 、 通用移动通讯系统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 简称为 UMTS ) , 釆用电路交换( Circuit Switch, 简称 CS )方式提供语音业务, 并形成了良好的覆盖。 随着无线宽带技术的发 展, 以及网络互联协议(Internet Protocol, 简称 IP )技术的发展, 整个网络 向全 IP 的方向演进, 一方面通讯网络的核心网向 IP 多媒体子系统 (IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem , 简称 IMS )演进, 另一方面无线接入网 络向分组交换发展, 通过分组交换(Packet Switch, 简称 PS ) 网络承载语音 以及其他业务, 并能够直接接入 IMS, 由 IMS提供包括语音业务在内通讯业 务。
IMS是由第三代合作伙伴计划 ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 简称 3GPP )提出的一种基于 IP的网络架构,构建了一个的开放而灵活的业务环境, 与接入无关, 可以支持多媒体应用, 能够为用户提供丰富的多媒体业务。
无线接入方式的发展方向有多种, 比如 3GPP提出了长期演进 /系统架构 演进 ( Long Term Evolution/ System Architecture Evolution, 简称 LTE/SAE )的 下一代网络架构, 釆用分组交换技术, 能提供更高的传输速率、 更短的传输 延时, 可以承载语音业务在内的实时业务, 其可以作为 IMS网络的一种接入 方式, 由 IMS提供业务。
又如家庭基站( Home NodeB , 简称 ΗΝΒ )系统, 是由 3GPP提出的一种 微蜂窝接入方式 , 包括 ΗΝΒ接入节点以及 ΗΝΒ网关。 将 ΗΝΒ接入节点其 部署在楼宇等宏蜂窝信号难以到达的地方实现信号覆盖, 或话务量比较大的 地区, 分担用户发生在室内或特定区域的话务量。 HNB系统通过 CS用户接 口与 UE相连, 再接入现有的 CS核心网, 实现语音业务, 也可以引入互通功 能, 直接出 IP接口, 将语音业务直接接入 IMS, 由 IMS提供业务。
在这些接入方式中, 有的接入技术的部署是个渐进的过程, 比如运营商 在部署 LTE/SAE过程中, 初期可能只在热点地区进行覆盖; 有些接入方式 适用于局部部署, 比如 HNB系统, 其覆盖范围只局限家庭、 楼宇等小范围。 由于本文重点描述用户从这些局部覆盖区接入,并发生语音业务情况下的语 音业务连续性, 故称这些局部覆盖区为源无线接入覆盖区。
图 1是在上述场景下的语音切换(又称语音连续性) 的业务场景。 用户 在源无线接入覆盖区进行语音业务时, 直接接入 IMS, 与远端用户建立 IMS 会话。 当用户移出上述覆盖区域时, 为了保证语音业务的连续性, 切换到 CS网络, 并利用 IMS中的会话锚定功能保持与远端用户通话的连续性, 这 样可以充分利用 CS网络覆盖好的优势, 保证业务的连续性。
在上述场景中, 用户的移动设备在通话状态下, 同时只能接入一种无线 网络, 比如对于 LTE/SAE用户设备, 在切换前, 只能接入 LTE/SAE网络, 而不能同时接入 CS网络; 当移动到 CS网络覆盖区, 必须断开与 LTE/SAE 的无线连接,才能接入 CS网络,本文中称这种接入方式为单无线接入方式。 对于接入 IMS的 HNB系统, 虽然其切换前以及切换后的无线接入方式都为 CS方式, 单由于接入的核心网不同, 在此也统一称为单无线接入方式。
图 2是单无线接入方式下语音切换的架构示意图。
在 IMS业务体系中, 控制层和业务层分离, 控制层不提供具体业务, 只 向业务层提供必要的触发、 路由、 计费等功能。 控制层中业务触发和控制功 能是呼叫会话控制功能 205 ( Call Session Control Function, 简称 CSCF ) 完 成的, 业务层是由一系列应用服务器(Application Server, 简称 AS )组成。 控制层根据用户的签约信息控制业务触发, 调用 AS上的业务, 实现业务功 能。
为了实现 IMS会话的切换业务, 或称为业务连续性业务, 在 IMS中引入 业务连续性 AS 206 ( Service Continuity Control AS, 简称 SCC AS )负责锚定 会话的信令路径, 因此称之为信令路径的锚定点。 当发生切换时, 虽然 UE 到 SCC AS 206的信令路径发生了变化, 但 SCC AS到远端的信令路径仍保 持不变, 从而使远端不感知切换的发生。
为了与传统的电路域网络互通, 在 IMS 边缘建设媒体网关控制功能 ( Media Gateway Control Function,简称 MGCF )和媒体网关( Media Gateway, 简称 MGW ) 207 , MGCF完成 CS信令和 IMS信令之间的互通和转换, 并 控制 MGW完成 CS承载和 IMS承载之间的转换。
互通网关( Interworking Gateway, 简称 IWG ) 204是为了支持单无线接 入, 基本上在移动交换中心 (Mobile Switching Center, 简称 MSC ) Server 功能的基础上, 增加切换支持功能, 并通过 MSC Server之间的接口与目标 CS网络 203相连, 通过 MGCF/MGW 207与 IMS互通, 同时通过接口与源 无线接入网络 202连接, 接收源无线接入网络的切换请求, 完成切换工作。
IWG 204可以进一步增强, 包含 MGCF和 MGW的功能, 直接出 SIP接 口接入 IMS, 此时不需要经过 MGCF/MGW。
用户设备 201通过 Uu接口接入源无线接入网络 202, 并通过 SGi口接 入 IMS 网络, 在上述接口上承载着控制信令以及媒体流。 控制信令釆用会 话初始协议( Session Initial Protocol, 简称 SIP协议 ) , 其路径如图 2虚线所 示。 UE 201和远端 UE 208的 SIP会话路径经过 S-CSCF 205触发到 SCC AS 206, 并在 SCC AS 206锚定, 由 IMS提供会话控制以及业务。 在上述控制 路径的控制下, 在 UE 201和远端 UE 208之间建立媒体路径。
如果针对 HNB接入方式, Uu接口上为 CS接入信令和媒体, 源无线接 入网络(HNB系统 )将 CS接入信令和媒体转换成 IMS信令和媒体, 再接 入 IMS。
图 3是现有技术中单无线接入方式下的切换过程示意图。
301、 当 UE从源无线网络接入 IMS , 并进入通话态时, UE定时检测周 围的无线环境, 通过测量报告通知源无线接入网路;
302、 源无线接入网络根据本地的配置检查当前的无线通讯条件, 如果发 现当前所使用的无线接入不再适合进行通讯, 比如信号强度低于设定的阔 值, 将从 UE上报的周围无线网络的信息选择切换的目标网络; 303、 源无线接入网络发现通讯媒体中含有语音, 向 IWG发送 CS切换 请求, 携带目标 CS网络的小区信息、 用户标识以及会话转移号码(Session Transfer Number, 简称 STN )等信息,通知 IWG进行切换,转执行步骤 305;
304、 与步骤 303同时, 如果通讯媒体中还含有非语音的 PS媒体, 且目 标网络和终端同时支持 CS和 PS接入,则向目标 PS网络发送 PS切换请求, 转执行步骤 306;
305、 IWG收到源无线接入网络的切换请求, 利用 CS现有的切换机制, 完成无线资源准备和电路连接的过程, 然后通过 MGCF/MGW向 IMS发送 会话切换请求, 建立切入呼叫分支, 代替原来通过源无线接入网络建立的切 出呼叫分支, 实现接入分支切换, 并更新与远端的媒体连接;
306、 目标 PS网络接收到 PS切换请求, 完成 PS切换准备过程;
307、 当步骤 305完成后, IWG向源无线接入网路返回 CS切换响应, 表 示切换准备完成, 并携带切换信息;
308、 当步骤 306完成后, 目标 PS网络向源无线接入网络返回 PS切换响 应, 表示切换准备完成, 并携带切换信息;
309、 源无线接入网络接收步骤 307中 CS切换响应和步骤 308中的 PS 切换响应, 知道目标网络准备完成, 则向 UE发送切换命令。
310、 UE执行切换, 切换到目标网络。
由于本发文重点描述语音切换, 即到目标 CS 网络的切换, 因此不对非 语音的 PS的媒体的切换过程中进行描述。
完成上述 IMS会话切入过程后, 通过源无线接入网络向 UE发送切换命 令, 指示 UE切换到目标 CS网络, 完成接入侧切换过程, 保证会话不中断。
在上述切换过程中, 会有短暂的语音中断, 为了保证用户的体验, 要求 语音中断时间不大于 300ms。
图 4是现有技术中单无线接入方式下的切换流程图。
UE-A在源无线接入覆盖区接入,通过源无线接入网络接入 IMS,与远端 UE-B建立 IMS会话,该会话的信令路径以 SCC AS为锚点,媒体路径从 UE-A 经过源无线接入网络和 UE-B连接。 源接入的信令路径包括两端: UE到 SCC AS的源信令接入路径(又称为切出接入分支)和远端信令接入分支, 原媒体 路径为 IMS承载。本流程只描述有语音的场景,其切换过程的步骤描述如下:
401、在通话过程, UE-A周期性的向源无线接入网络上报无线测量报告, 该报告中包括当前正在使用的无线接入方式的测量数据, 以及周围无线接入 方式的测量数据;
402、 源无线接入网络在根据上报的无线测量报告, 进行切换决策。 当 UE-A正在使用的无线接入方式的无线条件变差, 比如 UE-A接收到信号强度 低于设定的切换阔值, 而且 CS接入更适合通讯时, 决定将承载切换到 CS网 络。
403、 源无线接入网络向 IWG发送 CS切换请求, 携带用户标识、 目标
CS网络的小区信息、 以及切换路由信息 (如 STN、 SCC AS的标识)等;
404、 IWG确定目标 CS小区所在的目标 MSC Server,向目标 MSC Server 发送切换准备请求;
405、 目标 MSC Server 向目标无线子系统(RNS/BSS, Radio Network Subsystem/Base Station Subsystem, 无线网络子系统 /基站子系统)转发切换准 备请求;
406、 目标无线子系统根据切换准备请求的指示, 预留无线资源, 并向目 标 MSC Server返回切换准备响应, 携带目标无线接入网络的详细信息;
在该步骤完成时 ,建立目标 MSC Server与目标无线子系统之间的目标承 载 - CS承载 2。
407、 目标 MSC Server发送切换准备响应给 IWG;
通过步骤 403 ~ 407标准的 CS切换准备过程, 完成切换的准备过程。
408、 IWG建立与目标 MSC Server之间的电路连接;
该步骤完成后,建立 IWG和目标 MSC Server之间目标承载 - CS承载 3。 409、 IWG使用切换标识 STN作为被叫号码, 使用初始地址消息(Initial
Address Message, 简称 IAM )消息向 IMS发送切换请求, 请求 SCC AS执行 切换过程; 该步骤可以在步骤 407后执行, 与步骤 408并行执行。
410、 MGCF将 IAM转换成 SIP邀请消息 ( INVITE ) 消息, 经过 CSCF 等网元发送给 SCC AS , 并携带釆用会话描述协议 (Session Description Protocol, 简称 SDP )描述的 MGW提供的媒体资源信息;
此时 MGW启动媒体资源信息中指示的本地媒体接收端口, 准备接收对 端发送的媒体流;
411、 SCC AS向远端 UE-B发送 SIP媒体更新请求(RE-INVITE ) , 携 带从步骤 410中获取的 MGW提供的媒体资源信息;
412、 UE-B返回 SIP确认响应, 并携带 UE-B应答的媒体资源信息; 其中确认响应可以是最终确认响应 (200 OK ) , 也可以是临时响应, 如 果是临时响应, 后续还要经过类似的媒体协商过程。
此时 UE-B启动媒体资源信息中指示的本地媒体接收端口, 准备接收对 端发送的媒体流;本地媒体接收端口可以釆用原来正在使用的媒体接收端口, 也可以分配新的媒体接收端口; 如果使用新的媒体接收端口, 则在两个端口 同时接收, 当在新的端口接收的媒体后, 才关闭原来的媒体接收端口, 这样 保证在改变端口过程中, 不丟失媒体。 此时, 由于 UE-A还在源无线接入网 络, 因此 UE-B可以继续收到 UE-A发送的媒体流, 即接听不受影响。
另外, UE将改变媒体流的发送方向, 向步骤 411中指定的接收端口, 即 MGW的媒体接收端口发送媒体,停止向 UE-A的媒体接收端口发送媒体,此 时 UE-A将无法接收到 UE-B发送的媒体流, 表现为用户 A无法听到用户 B 的声音。
413、 SCC AS转发 200 OK到 MGCF, 携带 UE-B应答的媒体资源信息; 该步骤完成后, MGCF/MGW和 UE-B建立目标承载的 IMS承载端。 此 时虽然 MGW向 UE-B发送媒体流的路径已经建立好,但由于 UE-A还没有切 换过来, 实际并没有媒体流。
414、 MGCF向 IWG发送应答消息( Answer Message, 简称 ANM )响应; 当步骤 408和 414完成后, 完成 IMS会话切换过程, 以及远端 UE的媒 体更新, 建立了从目标无线子系统-目标 MSC Server - MGCF/MGW - UE-B 之间的目标媒体承载。
由于此时 UE-A还没有进行切换, 还在原来的承载发送和接收媒体, 而 UE-B的发送媒体已经切换到目标承载,但仍然可以在原端口接收媒体, 因此 从步骤 412开始从 UE-A到 UE-B的媒体流正常(称为上行媒体流 ) , UE-B 到 UE-A的媒体流中断(称为下行媒体流) , 表现为单通。
415、 MGCF同时向 SCC AS返回 SIP确认请求(ACK ) ;
416、 SCC AS向 UE-B发送 ACK确认消息;
417、 IWG向源无线接入网络发送 CS切换响应, 携带在步骤 407中获取 的目标 CS接入的详细无线信息;
418、 源无线接入网络向 UE-A发送切换命令, 指示 UE-A切换到指定的 目标 CS网络中;
419、 UE-A执行无线切换过程, 切入到指定的目标 CS网络, 建立与目 标无线子系统的信令以及媒体连接;
此时 UE-A切换到目标 CS无线网络,建立 UE-A和目标无线子系统间的 目标承载: CS承载 1 , 从而完成接入侧切换, 和远端 UE-B建立媒体连接, 通话恢复正常。 此时 UE-B从目标承载的接收端口接收到媒体流, 如果源承 载的接收端口与目标承载的接收端口不同, UE-B将关闭源承载的接收端口。
420、 目标无线子系统检测到 UE成功接入, 向目标 MSC Server发送切 换完成通知;
421、 目标 MSC Server向 IWG发送切换完成通知;
422、 IWG向源无线接入网络发送切换完成通知, 以及确认过程;
423、 SCC AS在上述切换过程完成后, 释放源接入分支。
由上面的流程以及分析可以看出, 在切换过程中存在语音中断时间, 且 上行媒体流和下行媒体流的中断时间不同: 下行媒体流的中断时间基本是从步骤 411 UE-B接收到媒体更新请求开 始向 MGW发送下行媒体流起,到步骤 419完成, 中断时间为步骤 412、 413、 414、 417、 418执行和传输时间, 以及步骤 419无线切换执行的总和, 即 T412 + T413 + T414 + T417 + T418 + T419。
上行的媒体流在 UE-A执行步骤 419之前, 一直通过源承载 - IMS承载 进行, 只是在步骤 419期间会中断, 因此上行媒体流的中断时间为 T419。
根据 UE-A和 UE-B是同一网络的情况下, 根据实验室测试数据, T412 + T413 + T414 + T417 + T418时间约为 200ms, T419约为 100ms, 则下行媒 体流中断时间约为 300ms, 上行媒体流的中断时间约为 100ms。 但在以下的 一些情况发生时, 会导致网络切换引起的中断时间增长, 甚至超过 300ms。
1 ) 当用户在漫游状态, 或呼叫其他网路用户, 或拨打国际长途时, 导致 呼叫环节增多;
2 ) 网络系统比较忙时, 处理能力下降;
3 ) 当 UE-B的处理能力比较差, 或无线接入条件不好, 或带宽限制;
4 ) 当 UE-B和网络之间釆用多次媒体协商处理时。
另外整个切换过程比较长, 从步骤 402决定切换, 到步骤 418通知用户 切换, 整个步骤、 环节比较多, 尤其是涉及远端用户媒体更新时, 在特殊情 况下, 会导致时间更长。 在用户高速移动, 或存在无线信号突然衰减的情况 下, 会出现当执行步骤 418通知用户时, 用户可能已经移出源无线接入覆盖 区的情况, 导致无法通知用户切换, 发生切换失败。 发明内容

本发明的较佳实施方式
为了解决因媒体流切换时间长而导致的切换失败问题, 本发明提供了一 种单无线接入方式下语音业务切换的实现方法, 应用于单无线接入方式下语 音切换业务, 在远端媒体切换过程中, 通过利用 SCC AS的控制功能, 改变 媒体资源信息到达会话远端的时间, 优化与远端 UE之间的媒体协商过程, 从而减少了下行媒体流切换中断时间。
单无线接入 UE接入源无线接入网络,并通过 IMS建立与远端设备的 IMS 会话,其会话路径锚定在 SCC AS, 当源无线接入网络决定将正在进行的语音 业务切换到目标 CS 网络, 执行远端媒体更新时, 该单无线接入方式语音业 务切换的实现方法包括:
所述 SCC AS接收到会话切换请求方的会话切换请求后, 向所述 IMS会 话远端发送媒体更新请求, 其中不携带会话切换请求中会话切换请求方提供 的媒体资源信息; 所述 SCC AS接收到所述 IMS会话远端返回媒体更新响应后,向所述 IMS 会话远端发送确认消息, 其中携带会话切换请求方提供的媒体资源;
所述 IMS会话远端接收到所述确认消息后, 根据会话请求方提供的媒体 资源信息改变媒体流发送方向。
以下通过附图及具体实施例对以上单无线接入语音切换实现方法进行具 体说明:
第一实施例
图 5是本发明第一实施例的单无线接入语音切换流程图, 描述了 UE-A 在源无线接入覆盖区接入, 与远端 UE-B建立 IMS会话, 而后切换到 CS网 络下的过程。 本实施例和非语音媒体无关, 只考虑从源无线接入网络到目标 CS网络的切换过程。 其步骤描述如下:
步骤 501 ~ 508与图 4中的步骤 401 ~ 408相同。
509、 IWG使用切换标识 STN作为被叫号码, 使用初始地址消息(Initial Address Message, 简称 IAM )消息向 IMS发送切换请求, 请求 SCC AS执行 切换过程;
该步骤可以在步骤 507后执行, 与步骤 508并行执行。
510、 MGCF将 IAM转换成 SIP邀请消息( INVITE ) , 经过 CSCF等网 元发送给 SCC AS, 并携带 MGW提供的媒体资源信息;
此时 MGW启动媒体资源信息中指示的本地媒体接收端口, 准备接收对 端发送的媒体流;
511、 SCC AS向远端 UE-B发送 SIP媒体更新请求(RE-INVITE ) , 不 携带媒体资源信息, 即空 SDP报文;
512、 UE-B返回 SIP确认响应, 并携带 UE-B提供的媒体资源信息; 其中确认响应可以是最终确认响应 (200 OK ) , 也可以是临时响应, 如 果是临时响应, 后续还要经过类似的媒体协商过程。
本文的实施例都以最终确认响应进行描述。
SCC AS根据步骤 510中获取的 MGW的媒体信息中的编码信息, 以及 本步骤获取的 UE-B 的媒体信息中的编码信息, 选取双方共同支持的编码格 式以及优先顺序。
此时 UE-B启动媒体资源信息中指示的本地媒体接收端口, 准备接收对 端发送的媒体流;本地媒体接收端口可以釆用原来正在使用的媒体接收端口, 也可以分配新的媒体接收端口; 如果使用新的媒体接收端口, 则在两个端口 同时接收, 当在新的端口接收的媒体后, 才关闭原来媒体接收端口, 这样保 证在改变端口过程中, 不丟失媒体。 由于此时 UE-A还在源无线接入网络, 因此 UE-B可以继续收到 UE-A发送的媒体流, 即接听不受影响。
另外, 由于步骤 511中没有携带媒体资源信息, UE-B没有接收到对端的 媒体资源信息, 将不改变原来的媒体流的发送方向, 即仍通过源承载- IMS 承载向 UE-A发送媒体。 因此和现有技术相比, 下行媒体仍然正常进行; 513、 SCC AS转发 200 OK到 MGCF, 携带 UE-B提供的媒体资源信息; 媒体信息中的编码格式以及顺序釆用步骤 512中 SCC AS选取的结果。 该步骤完成后, MGCF控制 MGW向 UE-B的媒体接收端口可以开始发 送媒体, 但由于 UE在釆用源承载的接收端口接收媒体流, 因此上行媒体流 没有中断。且由于 UE-A还没有切换到目标承载 ,因此 MGW没有接收到 UE-A 的媒体流, 不会向 UE-B发送媒体流。 此时, 由于 UE没有从目标承载的接收 端口接收到媒体流, 因此 UE-B不会关闭源承载的接收端口。
514、 MGCF向 IWG发送应答消息( Answer Message, 简称 ANM )响应;
515、 MGCF同时向 SCC AS返回 SIP确认请求(ACK ) ;
516、 SCC AS向 UE-B发送 ACK确认消息, 携带在步骤 510中获取的 MGW提供的媒体资源信息;
媒体信息中的编码格式以及顺序釆用步骤 512中 SCC AS选取的结果。 该步骤 516可以在执行步骤 513的时候执行。 该步骤完成后, UE-B将改变媒体流的发送方向, 向步骤 516中指定的接 收端口, 即 MGW的媒体接收端口发送媒体, 停止从源承载路径 - IMS承载 向 UE-A的媒体接收端口发送媒体,此时 UE-A将无法接收到 UE-B发送的媒 体流, 表现为用户 A无法听到用户 B的声音。
当步骤 508和 516完成后, 完成 IMS会话的切换过程, 以及远端 UE的 媒体更新, 建立了从目标无线子系统-目标 MSC Server - MGCF/MGW - UE-B之间的目标媒体承载。
由于此时 UE-A还没有进行切换, 还在原来的承载发送和接收媒体, 而 UE-B的发送媒体已经切换到目标承载,但仍然可以在原端口接收媒体, 因此 从 UE-A到 UE-B的媒体流正常(称为上行媒体流 ) , UE-B到 UE-A的媒体 流终端 (称为下行媒体流)从步骤 516开始中断, 表现为单通。
步骤 517 - 519与图 4中步骤 417 ~ 419相同, 此时 UE-A切换到目标 CS 无线网络, 建立 UE-A和目标无线子系统见的目标承载: CS承载 1 , 从而完 成接入侧切换, 和远端 UE-B建立媒体连接, 通话恢复正常。 此时 UE-B从目 标承载的接收端口接收到媒体流, 如果源承载的接收端口与目标承载的接收 端口不同, UE-B将关闭源承载的接收端口。
步骤 520 ~ 523与图 4中步骤 420 ~ 423相同。
由上面的流程以及分析可以看出, 在切换过程中也存在语音中断时间, 且上行媒体流和下行媒体流的中断时间不同:
下行媒体流的中断时间基本是从步骤 516 UE-B接收到媒体更新请求开 始向 MGW发送下行媒体流起, 到步骤 519完成为止。 艮设步骤 516是在步 骤 515后执行, 且步骤 515、 516的处理和传输时间正好与步骤 514、 517、 518 的时间相等, 则中断时间为 T519, 如果两者不同, 则中断时间是 T519 加两者差值的绝对值。
上行的媒体流在 UE-A执行步骤 519之前, 一直通过源承载 - IMS承载 进行, 只是在步骤 519期间会中断, 因此上行媒体流的中断时间为 T519。
根据实际测量以及理论计算, T519约为 100ms, 因此上行媒体流的中断 时间约为 100ms, 下行媒体流的中断时间最短为 100ms, 其最大值也小远于 现有技术。 可以看出, 通过利用 SCC AS的控制功能, 改变媒体资源信息到 达会话远端的时间, 优化与远端 UE之间的媒体协商过程, 从而减少了下行 媒体流切换中断时间。
为了实现以上方法, 本发明还提供了一种单无线接入方式语音业务切换 的实现系统, 该系统包括 SCC AS及会话远端, 其中,
所述 SCC AS用于向会话远端发送媒体更新请求, 其中不携带会话切换 请求方提供的媒体资源信息; 还用于向所述会话远端发送确认消息, 其中携 带所述媒体资源信息;
所述会话远端用于接收所述媒体更新请求及所述确认消息, 还用于根据 所述媒体资源信息改变媒体流发送方向。
当然为了完整地完成以上语音业务切换过程, 该实现系统还应该包括源 无线接入网络、 目标网络、 互通网关及单无线接入终端等, 这里不再赘述。
为解决因切换时间过长而导致切换失败的问题, 本发明还提供了另一种 单无线接入方式语音业务切换的实现方法, 该方法的主要思想是在电路域切 换准备后, 在进行接入分支切换的同时, 互通网关 IWG通过源无线接入网络 向单无线接入终端发送预切换指示信息及切换信息, 使单无线接入终端进入 预切换状态。 鉴于切换过程长对高速移动的终端的影响, 本发明利用预切换 机制, 在进行 IMS会话切换的同时, IWG通知 UE进行切换准备, 等 IMS会 话切换完成后, 再正式通知 UE进行切换, 避免由于切换过程长无法通知 UE 进行切换的问题, 保证切换成功。
当源无线接入网络决定将单无线接入终端正在进行的语音业务切换到目 标电路域网络时, 如图 8所示, 该方法包括:
步骤 801: 所述源无线接入网络向互通网关 IWG发送电路域切换请求; 步骤 802: 所述 IWG与所述目标电路域网络完成电路域切换准备过程; 步骤 803: 在进行接入分支切换的同时, 所述 IWG通过所述源无线接入 网络向所述单无线接入终端发送预切换指示信息及切换信息; 所述 IWG通过所述源无线接入网络向所述单无线接入终端发送所述预 切换指示信息及所述切换信息包括:所述 IWG向所述源无线接入网络发送预 切换响应消息, 其中携带所述预切换指示信息及所述切换信息; 所述源无线 接入网络向所述单无线接入终端发送预切换通知消息, 其中所述预切换指示 信息及所述切换信息。
这里的预切换响应消息及预切换通知消息都是新定义的消息, 当然也可 以釆用原有消息携带以上预切换指示信息及所述切换信息。
所述 IWG 向所述源无线接入网络发送预切换响应消息是在所述切换准 备过程完成后, 与所述 IWG建立目标电路域网络电路连接并行执行的, 或在 IWG建立目标电路域网络电路连接之后执行的。
步骤 804: 所述单无线接入终端保存所述切换信息, 等待切换命令, 完 成后续切换过程。
所述单无线接入终端启动切换命令等待定时器; 当所述单无线接入终端 接收到切换命令, 或当前正在使用的无线无法在满足通讯要求, 或切换命令 等待定时器溢出时, 则根据所述切换信息执行无线切换操作, 切入到所述目 标电路域网络。 也可以是, 当切换命令等待定时器溢出时, 没有接收到切换命令且无线 接入可以继续使用, 则 UE退出等待切换命令的状态, 继续使用源无线接入 网络。 这种方法可以防止网络侧的会话切换没有完成, 产生异常。
若后续接收的切换命令中的切换信息与单无线接入终端保存的切换信息 不同, 以切换命令中的切换信息为准。
所述切换命令等待定时器的时长大于正常情况下 IMS会话切换完成更新 的最大时间, 且所述单无线接入终端在执行无线切换操作时对所述切换等待 命令定时器复位。
以下通过具体实施例及附图对本发明第二种方法进行说明:
第二实施例
图 6是本发明第二实施例的单无线接入方式下的切换过程示意图。 描述 了 UE-A在源无线接入覆盖区接入, 与远端 UE-B建立 IMS会话, 而后切换 到 CS网络下的过程, 其过程包括以下步骤:
601、 当 UE从源无线网络接入 IMS , 并进入通话态时, UE定时检测周 围的无线环境, 通过测量报告通知源无线接入网路;
602、 源无线接入网络根据本地的配置检查当前的无线通讯条件, 如果发 现当前所使用的无线接入不再适合进行通讯,比如信号强度低于设定的阔值, 将从 UE上报的周围无线网络的信息选择切换的目标网络;
603、 源无线接入网络发现通讯媒体中含有语音, 向 IWG发送 CS切换 请求, 携带目标 CS 网络的小区信息、 用户标识以及会话转移号码(Session Transfer Number, 简称 STN )等信息, 通知 IWG进行切换; 执行步骤 605;
604、 与步骤 603同时, 如果通讯媒体中还含有非语音的 PS媒体, 且目 标网络和终端同时支持 CS和 PS接入, 则向目标 PS网络发送 PS切换请求; 转执行步骤 606;
605、 IWG收到源无线接入网络的切换请求, 利用 CS现有的切换机制, 完成无线资源准备;
在步骤完成后, IWG和目标 CS网络建立 CS电路连接, 该步骤和步骤 606、 607无关, 可以和步骤 606、 607同时执行。
606、 IWG向源无线接入网路返回 CS预切换响应消息, 表示切换准备完 成, 并携带预切换指示信息及切换信息;
该消息中携带的切换信息包含目标 CS接入网的属性、 以及详细接入信 息。
该消息可以是新定义的消息, 如预切换响应消息, 或在现有的 CS切换 响应中增加指示, 指示该消息是 CS预切换响应消息。
607、 IWG然后向 IMS发送会话切换请求, 建立切入呼叫分支, 代替原 来通过源无线接入网络建立的切出呼叫分支, 实现接入分支切换及远端媒体 更新;
608、 目标 PS网络接收到步骤 604的 PS切换请求, 完成 PS切换准备过 程; 609、 当步骤 608完成后, 目标 PS网络向源无线接入网络返回 PS切换响 应, 表示切换准备完成, 并携带切换信息;
610、 源无线接入网络接收步骤 606中 CS预切换响应消息和步骤 609中 的 PS切换响应, 知道目标网络准备完成, 但语音媒体的切换还没有完成, 则 向 UE发送预切换通知消息, 携带详细的切换信息, 包括目标网络(包括 CS 网络和 PS网络) 的详细接入信息;
UE接收到预切换通知消息请求,保存与目标网络的切换信息, 启动切换 命令等待定时器, 等待切换命令。
此时, UE并不执行无线切换过程, 当接收到切换命令, 或当前正在使用 的无线接入方式无法在满足通讯要求, 如移动出源无线接入网络的覆盖区, 或切换命令等待定时器溢出, 则 UE根据切换信息执行无线切换操作, 切换 到切换命令指定的目标无线网络, 或预切换请求中指定的目标无线网络, 并 复位切换命令等待定时器。 也可以是, 当切换命令等待定时器溢出时, 没有 接收到切换命令且无线接入可以继续使用, 则 UE退出等待切换命令的状态, 继续使用源无线接入网络。
在预切换中, IWG可以通过源无线接入网络发送切换取消请求, 或源无 线接入网络向 UE发送切换取消请求, UE接收到该请求后, 复位切换命令等 待定时器, 退出等待切换命令的状态。
在预切换中, UE可以根据具体的实现方式,提前完成一些切换的准备工 作, 如硬件电路的启动、 电路域软件模块、 切换模块的加载初始化能工作, 以加快切换速度。
如果 UE或源无线接入网路不支持切换通知请求, 将该请求作为未知消 息, 不做处理或返回未知请求, 而不会影响正常的切换过程。
预切换通知消息携带的切换信息包含目标接入网的属性、 以及详细接入 信息, 包括目标 CS接入网网络和 /或目标 CS接入网网络的详细接入信息。该 消息可以是新定义的消息, 或在现有的切换命令中增加指示, 指示该消息是 预切换通知消息。
611、 UE等待切换命令; 612、 当步骤 607完成后, IWG向源无线接入网路返回 CS切换响应, 表 示切换准备和 IMS切换完成, 并携带切换信息;
613、 源无线接入网络接收步骤 612中 CS切换响应和步骤 609中的 PS 切换响应, 则向 UE发送切换命令。
614、 UE执行切换, 切换到目标网络。
图 7是本发明第二实施例的单无线接入语音切换流程图, 描述了 UE-A 在源无线接入覆盖区接入, 与远端 UE-B建立 IMS会话, 而后切换到 CS网 络下的过程。
第三实施例
预切换机制也可以和第一实施例所提及的减少下行媒体流切换中断时间 方法同时使用。 本实施例, 只描述有语音媒体的场景。 如图 7所示, 其切换 过程包括以下步骤:
步骤 701 ~ 708与图 4中的步骤 501 ~ 508相同 .
709、 IWG使用切换标识 STN作为被叫号码, 使用初始地址消息(Initial
Address Message, 简称 IAM )消息向 IMS发送切换请求, 请求 SCC AS执行 切换过程;
该步骤可以在步骤 707后执行, 与步骤 708并行执行。
717a, IWG向源无线接入网络发送预切换命令消息, 携带在步骤 707中 获取的切换信息;
本步骤标号不表明执行顺序, 只是为了方便说明, 以便和步骤 717、 以 及图 4、 图 5中步骤 417、 517建立比对关系。
本步骤在图中的顺序, 并不表明实际执行顺序, 可以和在步骤 707后执 行, 与步骤 708、 709并行执行。
718a,源无线接入网络向 UE-A发送预切换通知消息,指示 UE-A网络已 经决策准备进行切换, 以及切换目标 CS无线网络的切换信息。
本步骤标号不表明执行顺序,只是为了方便说明,和步骤 718、以及图 4、 图 5中步骤 418、 518建立对应关系。
UE-A接收到预切换通知消息请求,保存与目标 CS无线网络的切换信息, 启动切换命令等待定时器, 等待切换命令。
步骤 710 ~ 716与图 5中的步骤 510 ~ 516相同,完成 IMS会话切换过程, 以及远端 UE 的媒体更新, 建立了从目标无线子系统-目标 MSC Server - MGCF/MGW - UE-B之间的目标媒体承载,媒体流的中断的情况与图 5相同。
步骤 717 ~ 719与图 5中步骤 517 ~ 519相同, IWG在 IMS会话切换完成, 媒体路径准备完成后, 经过源无线接入网络发送切换请求, UE-A切换到目标 CS无线网络, 建立 UE-A和目标无线子系统间的目标承载: CS承载 1 , 从而 完成 IMS会话切换, 建立和远端 UE-B的媒体连接, 通话恢复正常。
如果由于用户已经移出源无线接入网络, 导致在向步骤 718的切换命令 无法发送到 UE-A, 且源无线接入网络发送过预切换通知到 UE-A, 则源无线 网络认为 UE-A已经切出源无线接入网络。
如果用户已经切换到目标 CS网络, 此时 IMS会话切换工作才完成, 即 步骤 712比步骤 714提前到达 IWG,则 IWG可以在步骤 714后继续执行步骤 717发送切换命令, 或跳过步骤 717, 直接执行步骤 721 , 通知源无线接入网 络切换已经完成。
为了实现以上第三实施例的单无线接入方式下语音业务切换方法, 本发 明还提供一种单无线接入方式下语音业务切换的实现系统, 该系统包括源无 线接入网络、 目标网络、 互通网关、 单无线接入终端 SCC AS及会话远端, 其中,

所述 SCC AS在远端媒体更新过程中, 用于向会话远端发送媒体更新请 求, 其中不携带会话切换请求方提供的媒体资源信息; 还用于向所述会话远 端发送确认消息, 其中携带所述媒体资源信息;
这里所说的会话切换请求方指媒体网关 MGW。
所述会话远端用于根据收到的媒体资源信息改变媒体流发送方向。
由上面的流程以及分析可以看出, 本发明方法和系统在接入分支切换的 同时向 UE发送预切换指示信息及切换信息。 当在高速移动和源无线接入信 号衰减很快的场合下, 即使发生有线切换过程比较长而导致的切换命令无法 通知到 UE的场景, UE也有能力根据预切换请求中携带的切换信息完成切换, 从而保证在 IMS会话切换过程比较长的情况下, 能进行正常的切换, 且优化 了中断时间。 工业实用性 本发明方法和系统在目标电路域网络切换准备完成后, 在接入分支切换 同时向 UE发送预切换指示信息及切换信息。 当在高速移动和源无线接入信 号衰减很快的场合下, 即使发生有线切换过程比较长而导致的切换命令无法 通知到 UE的场景, UE也有能力根据预切换请求中携带的切换信息完成切换, 另外, 在远端媒体切换过程中, 本发明通过利用 SCC AS的控制功能, 改变 媒体资源信息到达会话远端的时间, 优化与远端 UE之间的媒体协商过程, 从而减少了下行媒体流切换中断时间。
