Definitions
- the present invention relates to communication networks, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for reducing the time of interruption when a VoIP call is handed over from a packet switched domain to a circuit switched domain in a communication network.
- IMS IP Multimedia Subsytem, IP Multimedia Subsystem
- IMS is a global, access independent and standards-based IP channel and service control system that enables end users based on common Internet protocols to use different types of multimedia services.
- the IMS system not only provides multiple access methods, but also provides interoperability with circuit switched domains.
- For a multi-mode mobile terminal that is in the packet switched domain when it moves to or outside the edge of the network covered by the packet switched domain, or when the network covered by the current packet switched domain becomes unavailable, it is in the circuit switched domain coverage In the network, it can switch calls from the packet switched domain to the circuit switched domain to ensure call quality.
- the handover is usually completed before the current connection is disconnected. That is, the user terminal creates a call or session in the telephone switching domain while maintaining an existing voice call in the packet switched domain, and then switching the voice media to the call in the telephone switching domain after the call or session establishment of the telephone switching domain is completed. Or in the session, then release the network resources in the packet switched domain before the switch.
- This approach usually has minimal interruption time.
- the above method cannot be used for a terminal that cannot receive and transmit information through two domains at the same time.
- 3GPP TS 23.216 specifies that calls anchored in the IMS system are accessed via EPS (Evolved Packet System) PS (Packet Switch) and through UTRAN/GERAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network / GSM EDGE) Radio Access Network, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network / GSM SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) solution between CS (Circuit Switch) access for maintaining the continuity of voice calls.

- the SRVCC scheme specified in 3GPP TS 23.216 also has some drawbacks, such as undeterminable voice interruption time, complex signaling procedures, and the like. The following section will analyze in detail why there is an uncertain voice interruption time.
- FIG. 1 exemplarily shows a network architecture diagram of a VoIP call specified by 3GPP TS 23.216 from an E-UTRAN (Evolved UTRAN, Evolved UTRAN) to an SRVCC of UTRAN/GERAN.

- E-UTRAN also known as LTE (Long Term Evolution)
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- E-Node Bs which are responsible for the radio access network part.
- the EPS is simplified into two network elements, eNodeB and EPC.
- the EPC includes: an MME (Mobility Management Entity) for acting as a control node, responsible for signaling processing of the core network; S-GW (Serving GateWay, Serving Gateway) / PDN-GW (Packet Data Network GateWay, grouping) Data network gateway), responsible for data processing of the core network.
- MME Mobility Management Entity
- S-GW Serving Gateway
- PDN-GW Packet Data Network GateWay, grouping
- Data network gateway responsible for data processing of the core network.
- the non-3GPP radio access network can access the EPC through the PDN-GW, and the 3GPP radio access network can access the EPC through the S-GW.
- Figure 1 also shows the interface between the network elements suggested by the specification.
- E-UTRAN and EPC are connected through S1 (similar to Iu) interface
- E-UTRAN can pass X2 (similar to Iur port (not shown)
- UE and E-UTRAN are connected through LTE-Uu interface .
- UTRAN is a new access network for UMTS. It has become an important access method for UMTS. It can include NodeB (Node B) and RNC (Radio Network Controller).
- NodeB Node B
- RNC Radio Network Controller
- GERAN is a key part of GSM developed and maintained by 3GPP, also included in the UMTS/GSM network, which includes the base station BS and the base station controller BSC (base station controller) And their interfaces (such as Ater interface, Abis interface, A interface, etc.).
- the mobile operator's network consists of multiple GERANs, which in combination with the UTRAN in the UMTS/GSM network.
- Mode/Pack Switch HandOver dual transmission mode/packet handover
- the relevant call flow diagram of the SRVCC is switched from E-UTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN.
- the voice call needs to be anchored in the IMS, such as SCC AS (Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server).
- SCC AS Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server
- the source E-UTRAN decides to perform handover from the packet domain to the circuit domain for the VoIP call that is being performed by the local UE according to the measurement report received from the local/source UE
- the handover request is sent to the local MME, and then
- the source MME divides the bearer (for subsequent transfer of the voice service), and sends a corresponding handover request from the packet domain to the circuit domain to the MSC server or the media gateway that can currently cover the local UE.
- the corresponding MSC/Media Gateway performs handover preparation and establishes a circuit, a session transfer is initiated.
- steps 6, 8, and 9 of the dotted line portion may be omitted (steps 20, 21 are also in this way) .
- the SRVCC includes a session handover procedure at the IMS layer and a cell handover procedure for layer 2 handover to the target cell. That is, it includes two user-level switches:
- Steps 10 to 12 the session switching process is performed by the SCC AS in the IMS, and the remote UE is updated with the SDP of the target CS access leg (ie, establishing VoIP with the local UE) Session each other), and release the source EPC PS access leg.
- the above steps will cause the voice portion of the ongoing session to be transformed from the EPC to the MGW at the user level.
- Step 15-21 handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN performed on the local UE and the access network, which is a RAT (Radio Access Type) performed at the local UE and the access network The handover between the two will cause the local UE to handover from the current E-UTRAN cell to the target UTRAN/GERAN cell.
- RAT Radio Access Type
- the interruption of the VoIP call that is, the interruption of the voice stream
- steps are numbered in consecutive numbers in Figure 2, this is not indicative of the time relationship between steps 10 through 12 and steps 15 through 21.
- steps 10 through 12 may well start after step 15 or both. That is to say, there is no synchronization mechanism between the two switching processes, which makes the time of voice interruption uncontrollable and uncertain. In the worst case, the time of voice interruption can be very long, making the user feel very bad.
- Fig. 3 exemplarily shows the length of time in which the VoIP call is interrupted in the above SRVCC scheme.
- T1 is the interruption time of the cell handover process of layer 2, and also shows the start time and the end time of the interruption.
- T2 is the interruption time of the session switching process of the IMS layer, and also shows the start time and end time of the interrupt.
- Case 1 The interruption caused by the ⁇ handover procedure of the IMS layer occurs earlier than the interruption caused by the cell handover procedure.
- the SRVCC will generate an interrupt time greater than the maximum of T1 and T2, not greater than T1+T2, and in the worst case, equal to Tl+T2.
- Case 2 The interruption caused by the ⁇ ⁇ switching process of the IMS layer coincides with the interruption caused by the cell handover process.
- the SRVCC generates an interrupt time equal to the maximum of T1 and T2.
- Case 3 The interruption caused by the cell handover process occurs earlier than the interruption caused by the session switching process of the IMS layer.
- the SRVCC will generate an interrupt time greater than the maximum of both T1 and T2, no greater than T1+T2, and worst case equal to Tl+T2.

- 6 is a schematic diagram of an optimized SRVCC flow according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram of an apparatus for reducing an interruption time when a VoIP call is switched in an MSC server according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the voice interruption in the SRVCC scheme given by the 3GPP TS 23.216 specification is mainly caused by the session switching process of the IMS layer and the process to the target cell in layer 2, and there is no synchronization mechanism between the two processes. This makes the time of voice interruption uncontrollable and uncertain. In the worst case, as mentioned above, the time of voice interruption can be very long, making the user feel very bad. This is caused by the lack of synchronization between the two switching processes described above. If a synchronization mechanism can be introduced, the time of the speech interruption will be shortened to a fixed value.
- the basic idea of the present invention is to introduce a synchronization mechanism between the session switching process of the IMS layer and the cell handover process of layer 2, so that the two handover processes start simultaneously or almost simultaneously, so that the interruption time of the entire SRVCC is As described in Case 2 mentioned above, it is a constant value and is the smallest.
- a value P2 needs to be preset in the MSC server to indicate the average time required to send a PS to CS Response message from the MSC server to the MME until the last local UE receives the HO from EUTRAN Command.
- This averaging time consists mainly of two parts: the sum of the processing time of the communication node through which the message passes, and the time it takes for the message to travel in the network. Since the number of nodes through which the message arrives at the UE is fixed, the time required for these nodes to process the message can be measured.
- the MSC server and the local UE are both in the same local network, the distance traveled by the MSC server to the UE in the local network does not change much, so the time required for the message to be transmitted in the network does not change much.
- the experience is estimated. It can be seen that the time required for the message to be sent from the MSC server to the last arrival to the local UE can be estimated and estimated based on experience, so P2 can be presupposed.
- the INVITE message sent by the MSC server to the SCC AS in the IMS does not contain the SDP information of the MGW, and the MSC server records the time at which the INVITE message is sent. Recorded as T4.
- the SCC AS interacts with the remote UE (not shown), and then sends a 200 OK reply message to the MSC server, which includes the SDP information of the remote UE. Since the remote UE does not obtain the SDP information of the MGW, the handover process of the remote UE cannot be started. At this point, the media stream of the current session remains connected.
- the MSC server records the time when it received the 200 OK message, which is recorded as T5.
- the MSC server calculates the time P1 required for the sending message to reach the remote UE according to the round trip of the above message, for example, calculating P1 as a certain ratio of the length of time between the time ⁇ 4 and the time ⁇ 5, which can be based on experience. And network status settings, such as 50% or 45%.
- the purpose of step 10 to step 11 is to calculate P1, but the calculation P1 is not limited to the above INVITE-200OK message pair, and other messages such as INVITE-183 temporary response message may be used.
- the INVITE message in step 10 in FIG. 2 is a live handover request, because it contains the SDP information of the MGW, and the remote UE receives the INVITE message through the SCC AS to start the session handover process.
- the INVITE message in the step 10 of FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is a request message of the non-session switching request. Because it does not contain the SDP information of the MGW, the remote UE cannot start the session switching after receiving the INVITE message via the SCC AS. The process, the INVITE message is mainly to calculate the value of P1.
- the MSC server After calculating P1, the MSC server compares P1 with the pre-set P2 size. According to different comparison results, the MSC server performs different actions.
- the next process is as shown in FIG. 4.
- the MSC server first sends a session switch request to the SCC AS, such as the ACK message shown in step 12 in FIG. 4, in which the SDP information of the MGW is carried.
- the MSC server will start one Timers, the time interval of the timer is Pl-P2.
- the SCC AS After receiving the ACK message of the SDP with the MGW, the SCC AS will immediately send an ACK message to the remote UE based on the ACK message to initiate the session handover procedure and update the remote UE, and the subsequent process and the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification define similar.
- the MSC server After the timer expires, the MSC server sends a cell handover request to the source MME, such as the PS to CS Response message shown in step 14 in FIG. 4, and then performs steps 15 and 16, thereby starting the local UE side handover to the target cell.
- the cell handover process, the subsequent process is the same as the prior art.
- the next process is as shown in FIG. 5.
- the MSC server first sends a cell handover request to the source MME, for example, the PS to CS Response message shown in step 14 in FIG. 5, and starts the cell handover process on the local UE side.
- the subsequent procedure is the same as that defined in the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification.
- the MSC server starts a timer with a timer interval of P2-P1.
- the MSC server sends a session switch request to the SCC AS in the IMS, such as the ACK message shown in step 12 in FIG. 5, in which the SDP information of the MGW is received, and the SCC AS receives the MGW.
- a session switch request to the SCC AS in the IMS, such as the ACK message shown in step 12 in FIG. 5, in which the SDP information of the MGW is received, and the SCC AS receives the MGW.
- an ACK message will be sent to the remote UE based on this ACK message to initiate the session handover procedure and update the remote UE.
- the subsequent procedure is similar to that defined by the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification.
- the time required for the MSC server to send a message to the local UE is the same as the time it takes for the message to reach the remote UE.
- the MSC server simultaneously sends a session handover request to the SCC AS and sends a cell handover request to the source MME, that is, the ACK message (SDP information with the MGW) shown in step 12 in FIG. 6 and step 14 is shown.
- the PS to CS Response message is sent at the same time.
- the SCC AS Upon receiving the above ACK message, the SCC AS will immediately send an ACK message to the remote UE based on the ACK message to initiate the session handover procedure and update the remote UE.
- the subsequent procedure is similar to that defined by the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification.
- the source MME After receiving the PS to CS Response message, the source MME further starts the cell handover process on the local UE side.
- the session handover request finally arrives at the remote UE and the cell handover request ends up.
- the moments up to the local UE are simultaneous or nearly simultaneous.
- the remote UE updates the SDP information of the peer communication entity (that is, the local UE) to the SDP information of the MGW, thereby causing the interruption caused by the handover of the IMS layer to start.
- the cell handover request finally arrives at the local UE, the interruption caused by the cell handover of layer 2 starts. Therefore, the interruption caused by the ⁇ switching of the IMS layer and the interruption caused by the cell switching of the layer 2 occur simultaneously or almost simultaneously, that is, the case 2 in FIG. In this case, as described earlier, the interruption time of the entire SRVCC process is minimal.
- step 10 can be performed immediately after step 5.
- the MSC must satisfy the following two conditions: 1. Receive the 200 OK message of step 11; 2.
- step 7 If 6, 8, 9, do not need to execute When the MSC Server and the target MSC are the same, the message of step 7 is received; if 6, 8, 9, need to be executed, that is, when the MSC Server and the target MSC are not the same, the step 9 is received. Message.
- Figure 7 illustrates an apparatus for reducing SRVCC outage time in an MSC server in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the receiving device 701 receives the handover request from the source MME, such as the PS to CS Req message of step 5 in FIG. 4-6
- the handover request indicates that the current call is switched from the packet switched domain to the circuit switched domain, and the receiving device 701 will trigger computing device 703 to calculate a first duration P1, which is the average time required for the MSC server to send a message to the remote UE.
- a first duration P1 which is the average time required for the MSC server to send a message to the remote UE.
- steps 6, 8, and 9 it will be executed, but there is no necessary relationship between the execution of steps 6, 8, and 9 and the computing device 703 calculating the first duration P1, that is, the computing device 703 calculates that the first duration P1 can be executed simultaneously with the step 6. .
- steps 6, 8, and 9 in FIGS. 4-6 will be omitted, that is, when the receiving device 701 receives the PS to CS Req message from the source MME. Will trigger the calculation immediately
- the device 703 calculates the first duration P1.
- the computing device 703 notifies the sending device 702 to send a request message for non-session switching request to the SCC AS in the IMS, such as the INVITE message in step 10 in FIG. 4-6, which is different from the INVITE message in step 10 in FIG.
- the INVITE message does not contain the SDP information of the MGW.
- the computing device 703 records the time at which the INVITE message is sent as T4. Since the SDP message of the MGW is not obtained, the SCC AS cannot start the session switching process on the remote UE side after receiving the INVITE message. After interacting with the remote UE, the SCC AS sends a 200 OK reply message to the MSC server.
- the MSC server receives the message via the receiving device 701, the receiving device 701 notifies the computing device 703 of the event, and the receiving device 701 records the time at which the 200 OK message is received as T5.
- the computing device 703 calculates P1 based on the time ⁇ 4 and the time ⁇ 5, for example, calculating P1 as a certain ratio of the length of time between the time ⁇ 4 and the time ⁇ 5, which can be set according to experience and network conditions, such as 50% or 45%. .
- the computing device 703 notifies the comparison device 704 of the calculated value of P1.
- the comparing means 704 compares P1 with the size of the preset ⁇ 2, and notifies the synchronizing means 705 of the result of the comparison.
- the synchronization device 705 determines a sequence and a time for transmitting a session handover request to the SCC AS and a cell handover request to the source MME according to the comparison result, and is used to ensure that the session handover request arrives at the remote communication terminal and the cell handover request arrives at the local communication terminal.
- the moments are simultaneous or almost simultaneous.
- the actions performed by the sync device 705 are as follows.
- the synchronization device 705 first triggers the sending device 702 to send a handover request to the SCC AS, such as FIG.
- the ACK message shown in step 12 carries the SDP information of the MGW in the message.
- the synchronization device 705 starts a timer with a time interval of P1-P2.
- the SCC AS After receiving the ACK message of the SDP with the MGW, the SCC AS will immediately send an ACK message to the remote UE based on the ACK message to initiate the session handover procedure and update the remote UE.
- the subsequent procedure is similar to that defined by the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification. .
- the synchronization device 705 triggers the sending device 702 to send a cell handover request to the source MME, such as the PS to CS Response message shown in step 14 in FIG.
- Steps 15 and 16 are performed to initiate the handover of the local UE side to the cell handover process of the target cell, and the subsequent process is the same as the prior art.
- the synchronization device 705 first triggers the sending device 702 to send a cell handover request to the source MME, such as FIG. 5.
- the PS to CS Response message shown in step 14 starts the cell handover procedure on the local UE side, and the subsequent procedure is the same as that defined in the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification.
- the synchronization device 705 starts a timer with a time interval of P2-P1.
- the synchronization device 705 triggers the sending device 702 to send a session switching request to the SCC AS in the IMS, such as the ACK message shown in step 12 in FIG. 5, in which the SDP information of the MGW is included, SCC AS Upon receipt of the ACK message with the SDP of the MGW, an ACK message will be sent to the remote UE based on this ACK message to initiate the session handover procedure and update the remote UE, the subsequent procedure being similar to that defined by the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification.
- the synchronization device 705 triggers the transmitting device 702 to simultaneously send the session handover request to the SCC AS and to the source MME.
- the cell handover request is transmitted, that is, the ACK message (SDP information with the MGW) shown in step 12 in FIG. 6 and the PS to CS Response message shown in step 14 are simultaneously transmitted.
- the SCC AS Upon receiving the above ACK message, the SCC AS will immediately send an ACK message to the remote UE based on the ACK message to initiate the session handover procedure and update the remote UE, and the subsequent procedure is similar to that defined by the existing 3GPP TS 23.216 specification.
- the source MME After receiving the PS to CS Response message, the source MME further starts the cell handover process on the local UE side, and the subsequent process is the same as the existing technology.
- 3GPP TS 23.216 is used as an application environment, the basic idea of the present invention is explained by entities such as MME, MSC server, MGW, and the like.
- the application of the present invention is not limited to this.
- the present invention is also applicable to 3GPP TS 23.237, 23.292, and the like.
- MME an entity capable of providing corresponding management/control of VoIP calls in the packet switched domain
- it can act as the MME in the above
- it is an entity capable of providing corresponding management/control of VoIP calls in the circuit switched domain, for example , MGW, MSC server, etc. that manage/process the media
- It can act as a corresponding control unit in the circuit switched domain.
- Any entity that is capable of anchoring a user's call can act as the SCC AS above.
