Description

单信道语音连续性的实现方法及系统 技术领域 本发明涉及通信领域, 具体而言, 涉及一种单信道语音连续性的实现方 法及系统。 背景技术 目前, 演进的分组域系统( Evolved Packet System, 简称为 EPS )的架构 如图 1A所示,包括:演进的全球移动通信系统无线接入网(Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Radio Access Network,简称为 E-UTRAN )、 移动管理实体 ( Mobility Management Entity, 简称为 MME ), 月艮务网关实体 ( Serving Gateway, 简称为 S-GW ); 分组数据网网关 ( Packet Data Network Gateway, 简称为 PDN GW或 P-GW ), 月艮务 GPRS支持节点 ( Serving GPRS Supporting Node, 简称为 SGSN ), 计费和策略控制实体( Policy and Charging Rule Function, 简称为 PCRF )以及归属网络月艮务器( Home Subscriber Server, HSS )。 其中, P-GW和 S-GW可能合设在一个物理实体中。 图 1B为相关技术中单信道语音连续性 ( Single Radio Voice Call
Continuity, 简称为 SRVCC ) 系统架构图。 其中, UTRAN/GSM EDGE无线 接入网( GSM EDGE radio access network,简称为 GERAN )主要用于为 3G/2G 电路交换 (Circuit Switch, 简称为 CS ) 域网络接入; E-UTRAN主要用于分 组交换 ( Packet Switch, 简称为 PS ) 域网络接入; 源移动交换中心 (Source Mobile Switch Center, 简称为 Source MSC )主要用于实现用户在源电路交换 网络用户面和信令面 (控制面) 的交换功能; 增强移动交换中心 (enhanced Mobile Switch Center, 简称为 eMSC ), 用于帮助单信道 ( Single Radio, 简称 为 SR ) UE完成 CS域和 PS域间语音连续性, 该网元可以与 Source MSC部 署为同一个网元。
IP多媒体子系统 ( IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem, 简称为 IMS ) 网元是 IMS业务体系中的相关网元, 在 IMS业务体系中, 控制层和业务层 是分离的, 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 (Call Session Control Function, 简称为 CSCF ) 完成的。 呼叫会话控制功能分为: 代理呼 叫会话控制功能 ( Proxy-CSCF, 简称为 P-CSCF )、 查询呼叫会话控制功能 ( Interrogating-CSCF , 简称为 I-CSCF ) 和服务呼叫会话控制功能
( Serving-CSCF, 简称为 S-CSCF ) 三种类型。 而业务层是由一系列应用月艮 务器 ( Application Server, 简称为 AS ) 组成, 能提供具体业务服务, AS可 以是独立的实体, 也可以存在于 S-CSCF中。 图 2是相关技术中单信道语音业务连续性从 CS域切换到 PS域的流程 图, 描述了 SR UE先在电路域网络与远端建立会话, 信令和业务锚定在 IMS 网络, SR UE后续发生单信道语音连续性, SR UE从长期演进 (Long-Term Evolution , 简称为 LTE ) 网络接入, 重新建立与远端媒体连接, 保持会话连 续的过程, 包括如下步 4聚:
201、 GERAN/UTRAN网络根据 SR UE上报的无线测量报告, 决定发起 向 E-UTRAN切换;
202、 GERAN/UTRAN向 Source MSC发送切换请求消息( HO Required ), 消息中携带指向目标 E-UTRAN网络的目标小区标识;
203、 Source MSC根据消息中目标小区标识向 eMSC发送切换准备消息 ( Prepare HO Request ), 通知目标网络进行切换;
204、 eMSC判断 SR UE在目标 E-UTRAN网络中不存在网络资源, 判 断是否具备网络资源, eMSC可以向目标网络 MME查询, 或者在设备内部 查询;
205、 eMSC向 Source MSC返回切换准备响应消息 ( Prepare HO
Response ), 消息中携带网络接入指示 ( Networl Access Indicator, NAI ), 通 过该指示通知 SR UE在 E-UTRAN网络接入新建网络资源, 以完成切换;
206、 Source MSC向源 GERAN/UTRAN网络返回切换应答消息 ( HO Response ) , 消息中携带网络接入指示;
207、 源 GERAN/UTRAN发送切换命令 ( HO Command )通知 SR UE进 行切换;该切换命令消息中携带网络接入指示,指示 SR UE接入到 E-UTRAN 网络, 并新建网络资源以完成切换;
208、 SR UE收到切换命令,根据网络接入指示,切换到 E-UTRAN网络, 并发起标准艮踪区域更新流程 ( Tracking Area Update , 简称为 TAU ); 由于 SR UE切换到 E-UTRAN网络, 因此, 从此时开始, SR UE与 GERAN/UTRAN之间用户面连接发生断裂, SR UE与远端间的语音暂时无 法通讯。
209、 SR UE在 E-UTRAN网络建立所需 载, 建立过程是标准 PS 载 建立过程, 这里不作详细描述;
210、 载建立完毕后, SR UE向用户归属地 IMS网络进行注册;
211、 注册成功, SR UE向用户归属地 IMS网络发送会话邀请消息 ( INVITE ), 消息携带静态配置在 UE内部的会话转移指示( Session Transfer Indication, 简称为 STI ), 指示 IMS网元本次会话用于业务连续性 ( Service Continuity, 简称为 SC )。 IMS网元通过更新远端流程, 使原先 IP媒体连接 由远端连接到 Source MSC更新到与 SR UE直接相连,中间可能途径一些 EPS 网元和其他网络设备。 该步骤是标准的 SC流程, 这里不详述;
212、 远端更新成功后, IMS网元向 SR UE返回成功消息 (200 OK )。 SR UE收到 200 Ok消息后, 恢复与远端之间的语音通讯, 完成 SR UE在 CS 和 PS之间切换语音连续性。 发明人发现, 在上述单模业务连续性实现方法中, 当 SR UE切换到 E-UTRAN网络之后, SR UE与远端间的语音通讯暂时中断, 当 SR UE在 E-UTRAN网络建立所需承载后, 再向用户归属地 IMS网络进行注册, 在注 册成功后还需要在步骤 210-212对远端执行更新操作, 在对远端执行更新操 作完成后,才恢复 SR UE与远端间的语音通讯。从而导致通话中断时间过长, 降低了用户的体验。 发明内容 本发明的主要目的在于提供一种单信道反向切换的语音连续性实现方法 及系统, 以至少解决上述问题之一。 根据本发明的一个方面, 提供了一种单信道语音连续性的实现方法, 该 方法用于在 UE从 CS域切换到 PS域的过程中保持语音连续, 包括: UTRAN 或 GERAN通知 eMSC准备切换 UE到由演进的 UTRAN接入的目标网络;

eMSC 20, 设置为通知 UE 切换目标网络 40,建立 UE与 eMSC 20之间的经过目标网络 40的媒体连接, 并通过该媒体连接传输 UE与远端之间的语音媒体。 通过本实施例的上述系统, 在单模语音连续性由 CS至 PS切换过程中, 在 eMSC 20与 UE之间建立一条临时的媒体连接传递语音, 从而可以减少切 换过程中语音中断时间。 在本发明优选实施例中源 MSC不具有增强能力, 因此, 上述系统还包 括源 MSC, 图 4为根据本发明的一个优选实施例的系统架构示意图, 在该系 统中, 目标网络 40包括: MME、 S-GW/P-GW和 PCRF等网元。 在图 4中, 对现有的 eMSC 20进行扩展, 该 eMSC 20可以实现以下功能:
( 1 ) eMSC在接收到 Source MSC发送的切换准备请求消息能根据消息 中目标小区把消息转发给目标 MME , 通知目标网络分配资源; 或者直接返 回应答消息, 指示 UE接入到 E-UTRAN网络, 新建承载用于切换;
( 2 ) eMSC能够生成语音业务流模板 ( Traffic Flow Template, 简称为 TFT ), 该模板用于指示 UE和 eMSC建立 SR UE和 eMSC间临时媒体连接 和在 IMS远端媒体更新成功前接收 /发送语音媒体。 TFT包含媒体连接的源 和目的 IP地址以及端口号;
( 3 )eMSC收到切换完成消息后,能够主动发起临时的媒体连接的建立;
( 4 ) 临时的媒体连接建立完毕, eMSC接收到远端电路域语音数据包, 转换为 IP语音数据包通过该媒体连接转发给 UE; 在接收到 UE通过该媒体 连接传递过来的 IP语音数据包, eMSC将该 IP语音数据包转换为电路域语 音数据包传递给远端。 而 MME可以设置为在接收到 eMSC的 CS to PS切换请求消息, 创建缺 省 7 载; 或者 MME在 UE完成 TAU过程后向 eMSC 20发起 Single Radio注 册, 将 TAU过程中为 UE分配的 IP地址传递给 eMSC 20, 以 eMSC 20与

609. P-GW收到创建会话请求后, 分配承载资源, 为 UE分配 IP地址;
610 - 611. S-GW和 P-GW资源分配完毕后返回创建会话请求应答消息 给 MME; 如果 604步骤中 MME检查出 UE已经在该网络进行附着登记, UE的缺 省 载已经建立, 则直接从 604步 4聚兆到 612步 4聚;
612. ΜΜΕ缺省创建完毕后, 才艮据目标小区信息选择目标 EUTRAN, 向 目标 EUTRAN发送切换请求消息, 通知 EUTRAN分配空口资源, 该切换请 求消息中携带有步骤 607-611创建的缺省承载中 S-GW用户面连接 EUTRAN 的连接地址。 EUTRAN分配空口资源完成后, 建立 EUTRAN与 S-GW间媒 体连接, 向 MME返回切换应答消息, 该切换应答消息中携带所分配的空口 资源接入参数;

617. Source MSC向 GERAN/UTRAN返回切换应答消息, 该消息中携 带 EUTRAN空口接入参数和 TFT;
618. GERAN/UTRAN通过切换命令消息, 通知 SR UE进行切换, 该消 息中携带 EUTRAN空口接入参数和 TFT;
619. SR UE才艮据 EUTRAN空口接入参数切换到 EUTRAN网络;
620. SR UE向 EUTRAN网络发送切换完成消息; 621. EUTRAN收到切换完成消息, 通过切换通知消息通知 MME;
622. MME向 eMSC返回切换完成消息, eMSC通知 Source MSC;
623. Source MSC收到目标网络的切换完成消息, 释放 GERAN/UTRAN 网络资源和空口资源;
624. eMSC和 SR UE建立两者媒体连接; 两者之间的媒体连接包含两部分。 第一部分由 eMSC与 P-GW之间连接 为 IP数据承载, 该连接遵从 SGi口标准协议; 另一部分为 P-GW与 SR UE 见媒体连接, 该连接为 EPS承载, 遵从 EPS网络相关协议。 eMSC与 P-GW 之间 IP数据承载不需要单独建立, 传输过程中仅需要目的 IP和源 IP就能相 互传递, eMSC和 SR UE建立两者直接媒体连接关键需要建立 SR UE和 P-GW之间的 EPS 载连接。 在本实施例中可以釆用以下几种方式:
A. SR UE与 P-GW之间, 釆用切换准备过程时预留的缺省承载或者专 用承载,这种方式 eMSC在收到切换完成消息后,根据语音 TFT直接向 SR UE 发送语音包;
B. 由 eMSC通过 PCRF通知建立 P-GW建立专用 载, 具体细节参考 图 10;
C. 由 SR UE主动在 EPS网络发起建立专用承载, 该流程为标准流程。 如果在步骤 624中釆用上述方式 B, 则在步骤 615中可以不将 TFT传递 给 Source MSC,而是在建立专用承载的过程中传递 TFT,在步骤 614中 eMSC 也可以不分配用于上述媒体连接的用户面 IP地址和端口号。 eMSC和 SR UE建立两者媒体连接建立完毕后, eMSC 4巴收到 Source MSC的电路域语音数据包转换为 IP语音数据包, 根据 TFT通过两者之间的 媒体连接发送给 SR UE, 同时收到来自 SR UE的 IP语音数据包, 转换为电 路域语音包转发给 Source MSC;
625. SR UE根据语音 TFT接收和发送 IP语音数据包;
626. 如果 SR UE尚未在 IMS进行注册, SR UE向该用户归属地 IMS 进行 IMS注册; 627. 注册完毕后, SR UE向 IMS网元发送会话邀请消息, 通知 IMS进 行远端更新, 该消息中携带 SR UE的媒体 IP地址和新分配的端口号以及会 话转移标识 ( Session Transfer Identification )。 IMS收到会话邀请消息后, 更 新远端媒体连接

629. 释放 SR UE和 eMSC之间媒体连接, 释放方式可以釆用如下方式:
A.如果 SR UE和 eMSC之间媒体连接 EPS 载是釆用切换准备的缺省 承载资源, EPS承载无需释放缺省承载,仅需释放 eMSC侧的 IP地址和端口;
B. 由 eMSC收到 Source MSC释放消息, eMSC通过 PCRF释放 EPS 专用承载, eMSC释放媒体连接的 IP和端口; 釆用方式 A和 B的释放流程如图 13示;
C. UE发起释放专用承载, PCRF通知 eMSC, eMSC释放媒体连接 IP 和端口, 具体 ¾i程图;!口图 14示。 通过本实施例, eMSC在通知 UE切换到目标网络中之前, 先通知目标 网络为 UE准备网络资源, 建立 UE的缺省 7 载, 并在建立缺省 7 载的过程 中为 UE分配 IP地址, 从而进一步减少了切换过程中语音中断的时间。 实施例三 本实施例与实施例二的主要区别在于,目标网络在切换准备资源的时候, 网络并没有为 UE分配 IP地址, UE切换到目标网络后才获取 IP。 图 7为本实施例的信令流程图, 如图 7所示, 主要包括以下步骤:
