随着无线宽带技术以及 IP技术的发展, 整个网络向全 IP的方向演进, 通讯网络的核心网向 IMS演进。
IMS是由 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。 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 , CSCF )完 成的, CSCF分为代理 CSCF ( P-CSCF )、查 i句 CSCF ( I-CSCF )和月良务 CSCF ( S-CSCF )三种类型, 其中负主要责任的是 S-CSCF, I-CSCF类型是可选 的。 业务层是由一系列应用服务器( Application Server, 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。 控制层 S-CSCF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。 AS和 S-CSCF可以统称为服务设备(SE, Server Equipment )„ 会话 中的端到端设备称为用户设备 ( User Equipment , UE ), 负责与使用者的交 互。有的 UE具有多种接入网络的方式, 包括通过 3GPP的 PS域接入网络、 通过其他非 3GPP的数据域接入网络, 甚至可以通过 CS域接入网络等。 即 CS网络, PS网络(包括 LTE/SAE ) 均可作为 IMS网络的一种接入手段, 即用户可以通过 LTE/S AE或 CS , 建立 IMS会话, 由 IMS提供各类业务控 制, 由 LTE/SAE或 CS为用户提供网络接入。 UE通过 IMS建立各种会话 请求时, UE与 IMS 网络中的各个实体使用标准的会话发起协议(Session Initiation Protocol, SIP )通讯。
当 UE建立一个 IMS会话时, 根据不同的需要(如运营商策略、 流量 控制和统计、 切换优化等), 网络可以决定将会话锚定在某个逻辑功能实体 上。
图 1是 UE通过 LTE/SAE接入网络建立会话时锚定所有会话的业务场 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, 且该会话的信令部分锚定在当前驻留网络的接入切换控 制功能实体(Access Transfer Control Function, ATCF )上, 媒体部分则锚 定在接入切换控制功能实体控制的接入网关( Access Gateway, AGW )上。 由于无线频语干扰等限制 , UE无法同时接入 LTE/SAE和 2G/3G的 CS网 络, 所以当用户移出上述 LTE/SAE覆盖区域时, 为了保证语音业务的连续 性, 网络侧将用户的会话切换到 CS网络。 由于此类切换更新远端的过程较 长, 而 UE本地切换接入网的过程较短, 这两个过程并行发生, 较难同步, 所以此类切换用户的语音中断时间较长。 此类切换称为单信道模式的语音 呼叫连续性, 或单模的语音呼叫连续性( Single Radio Voice Call Contiuity , SRVCC ); 如果由 ATCF/AGW作为锚定点控制发生切换, 可以缩短在切换 过程中由于远端更新过程过长而引起的语音中断, 提高用户体验。
为简化图示和描述, 将 ATCF和受 ATCF控制的 AGW合一描述。
如图 1 所示, UE和远端 (Remote End )建立了会话, 该会话锚定在 UE当前驻留网络的 ATCF (信令锚定)和 AGW (媒体锚定)上, AGW受 ATCF控制:
101、 UE负责与使用者的交互, 并能通过 PS/CS等不同接入方式建立 会话;
102、 ATCF负责锚定 UE会话的信令部分, 并控制 AGW锚定用户会 话的媒体部分;
ATCF 为逻辑功能实体, 实际物理位置可以位于 UE 通过拜访网络 LTE/SAE 进行 IMS 注册时在信令路径上的某一网元, 如 P-CSCF/IBCF ( Interconnection Border Control Function, 互通边界控制功能)等。
103、 AGW负责在 ATCF控制下, 锚定 UE会话的媒体部分;
AGW可以位于拜访地的 TrGW ( Transition Gateway, 过渡网关 ) , PDN GW或 P-GW ( Packet Data Network Gateway, 分组域网络网关), CS域或 IMS域的 MGW ( Media Gateway, 媒体网关)等, 可以根据实际情况灵活 部署。
104、 IMS负责处理 UE通过各种接入网所建立的会话, 包括始呼会话 和终呼会话等, 并负责与远端建立会话;
图中的 IMS位于用户的归属地网络, 包含 CSCF和各种 AS等网元, 如提供业务一致性和连续性的业务一致性和连续性应用服务器 ( Service Consistency and Continuity Application Server, SCC AS );
105、 Remote End与 UE建立 IMS会话; 该 Remote End可能是 UE, 也 可能是提供服务的服务器等, 如流媒体服务器。
图 2是现有的 UE通过 LTE/SAE进行 IMS注册, 并建立语音会话时的 会话锚定流程图, ATCF/AGW在会话建立时锚定 UE的会话, 其具体描述 下:
步骤 201、 UE在当前的驻留网络发起 IMS注册请求,该请求消息到达
ATCF;
步骤 202、 ATCF将注册消息送至用户拜访地的 S-CSCF;
ATCF 在注册消息中携带为该用户分配的拜访地的单模切换号码 ( Visited Session Transfer Number - Single Radio , vSTN-SR );
如果用户是 SRVCC用户, vSTN-SR用于后继用户可能发生的 SRVCC 过程;
该步骤中的注册消息需要先到达用户归属地的 I-CSCF, 由 I-CSCF与 归属签约服务器( Home Subscriber Server, HSS )交互以确定服务该用户的 S-CSCF, 然后由 I-CSCF将该消息路由至所述 S-CSCF处理。 为简化图示和 描述, 这里将 I-CSCF和 S-CSCF合一描述, 且省略了 HSS的相关流程; 步骤 203-204、 S-CSCF处理完注册请求后, 通过原路径向 UE回复注 册响应消息;
步骤 205、 S-CSCF处理完用户的注册消息后,根据初始过滤准则( initial Filter Criteria, iFC ), 在需要时代替 UE向相应的应用服务器(Application Server, AS )进行第三方注册; 如果用户是 SRVCC用户 , S-CSCF需要代替 UE向 SCC AS进行第三 方注册, 并携带步骤 202中的 vSTN-SR;
vSTN-SR将通过 HSS 推进过程被下载给 LTE/SAE 网元, 并在触发 SRVCC过程时由 LTE/SAE网元传给 CS网元; 也可通过其他途径传给相应 的 LTE/SAE、 CS网元, 以实现 SRVCC;
步骤 206、 UE发起 IMS会话, 该 IMS会话的会话请求到达 ATCF, 其 中携带有 UE的会话媒体描述协议( Session Description Protocol, SDP )信 息, 如 IP地址、 媒体流编码格式、 端口号等;
步骤 207、 ATCF锚定该用户的会话, 将媒体部分锚定在其所控制的一 个 AGW上。 ATCF向 S-CSCF发送会话请求, 其中携带有 AGW的 SDP信 息;
如果 UE是 SRVCC的签约用户, 则执行步骤 208al-209a2; 否则, 执 行步骤 208b-209b;
步骤 208al、 根据 iFC的触发, S-CSCF将收到的会话请求路由到 SCC AS处理;
步骤 208a2、 SCC AS将收到的会话请求发送至远端 UE;
步骤 209al、 远端 UE向 SCC AS回复会话响应, 其中携带有远端 UE 的 SDP信息;
步骤 209a2、 SCC AS向 S-CSCF发送会话响应;
步骤 208b、 S-CSCF将会话请求发送给远端 UE;
该步骤中, 由于用户不是 SRVCC用户, 所以呼叫不会触发给 SCC AS 处理;根据 iFC,会话请求有可能会先触发给其他 AS处理,随后返回 S-CSCF 并被发向远端 UE;
步骤 209b、远端 UE向 S-CSCF回复会话响应, 其中携带有远端 UE的 SDP信息; 步骤 210、 S-CSCF向 ATCF回复会话响应,其中携带有远端 SDP信息; 步骤 211、 ATCF向 UE回复会话响应,其中携带有 AGW的 SDP信息; 上述步骤完成后, UE与远端 UE之间的会话建立完成, 且会话锚定在 ATCF/AGW上。如图所示 ,此时媒体分为两段,分别为: UE到 AGW—段, AGW到远端一段,这样用户由于某种业务需要,可以提供更好的用户体验, 比如:用户如果是 SRVCC用户,则在后继发生 SRVCC切换时,可以由 ATCF 控制, 以减少切换中的语音中断时间, 提供较好的用户体验。
但上述呼叫建立过程中 ATCF/AGW锚定会话的方法存在如下弊端: ATCF无法区分用户是否需要锚定会话, 所以对于所有经过 ATCF的会话, 都需要将其媒体面锚定在 AGW上。 比如对于非 SRVCC用户, ATCF也会 对其的会话进行锚定。 这样会造成网络资源(如 AGW资源)的浪费; 而且 由于 UE到远端 UE的媒体锚定在 AGW上, 使得通信过程中增加了一个锚 定点, 很有可能对用户的业务质量和用户体验造成不利影响。 发明内容
有鉴于此, 本发明的主要目的在于提供一种实现会话锚定的方法和系 统, 以保证只对需要锚定的会话提供锚定, 尽量减少网络资源的浪费。
为达到上述目的, 本发明的技术方案是这样实现的:

在收到锚定指示时直接确定需要锚定会话。
其中, 所述锚定决策单元进行所述最终决策时用于:

总体而言, 在会话建立过程中, 可以由 IMS网络中的网元向 ATCF提 供用于表示是否需要锚定的锚定提示等信息, 并最终由 ATCF决策是否需 要锚定会话, 以避免造成网络资源的浪费。
以下通过附图及具体实施例对以上实现有选择锚定会话的方法进行具 体说明:
参见图 3 , 图 3为本发明实施例一的实现会话锚定的流程图, 该流程包 括以下步骤:
步骤 301、 UE在 LTE/SAE发起 IMS注册请求,该请求消息到达 ATCF; 步骤 302、 ATCF将注册请求消息送至用户拜访地的 S-CSCF;
ATCF在注册请求消息中携带为该用户分配的 vSTN-SR; 步骤 303至步骤 304、 S-CSCF处理完注册请求后, 通过原路径向 UE 回复注册响应消息;
步骤 305、 S-CSCF处理完用户的注册请求消息后, 根据 iFC, 在需要 时代替 UE向相应的 AS进行第三方注册;
步骤 306、 UE发起 IMS会话建立请求, 其中携带有 UE的 SDP信息; 步骤 307、 收到步骤 306中的会话建立请求后, ATCF将其转发给 UE 归属的 IMS网络的 S-CSCF;
ATCF转发的会话建立请求中携带有 UE的 SDP信息, 同时, ATCF在 会话建立请求中插入用于锚定用户会话的媒体的指示, 表明没有为该呼叫 分配 AGW;
步骤 308、 S-CSCF根据 iFC, 将呼叫触发到 SCC AS处理;
步骤 309、 由于在步骤 305中收到了 vSTN-SR, 所以 SCC AS明确拜访 地部署了用于锚定会话的 ATCF/AGW。 SCC AS根据各种信息, 比如、 用 户是否为 SRVCC用户(可以应用用户签约信息予以判定)、 UE能力信息(该 信息用于表明用户当前是否使用具有 SRVCC 能力的终端)、 主叫用户 UE 是否漫游、 远端 UE是否漫游、运营商配置的策略或其他因素, 判断是否在 拜访地需要锚定该会话的媒体。 若判断需要锚定, 则 SCC AS以向 S-CSCF 发送拒绝消息等形式表明拒绝所述呼叫建立请求, 指示需要锚定该会话的 媒体;
通常, 在拒绝消息中也可能携带 SCC AS上所具有的判定信息, 如 UE 能力信息, 用户是否漫游等信息, 以提供给 ATCF做锚定判定;
SCC AS根据多种信息判断是否向 ATCF发送拒绝消息, 以及携带锚定 指示。其中,主要的判断依据为用户是否为 SRVCC用户:如用户不是 SRVCC 用户,则不需要锚定会话,进而不向 ATCF发送拒绝消息;如用户是 SRVCC 用户, 则可能综合考虑其他因素, 最终决定向 ATCF发送拒绝消息, 并携 带锚定指示;
步骤 310、 S-CSCF向 ATCF发送拒绝消息;
步骤 311、 ATCF收到拒绝消息后, 根据消息提供的锚定指示等信息, 以及本地网络策略、 UE能力信息等因素, 最终决策是否需要锚定该会话的 媒体。 ATCF随后向 UE归属 IMS网络发起新的会话建立请求;
如果 ATCF最终决策需要分配 AGW以锚定 UE会话的媒体,则在本步 骤的会话建立请求中携带 AGW的 SDP信息; 否则, 仍然携带 UE的 SDP 信息;
当然, 如果有其他因素, 比如本地策略是否允许锚定等, 或者 ATCF 有 UE的能力信息 (用于表明 UE是否为 SRVCC UE ), 则可以综合所有因 素以判断是否需要锚定会话, 最终决策在步骤 312 中的建立请求中携带 AGW或 UE的 SDP信息;
步骤 312、 S-CSCF向 SCC AS发送会话建立请求;
步骤 313、 SCC AS通过 S-CSCF, 向远端 UE发送会话建立请求; 步骤 314至步骤 316、 远端 UE通过 S-CSCF/SCC AS向 ATCF回复会 话建立响应, 其中携带有远端 UE的 SDP应答;
步骤 317、 ATCF向 UE回复会话建立响应,其中携带有 SDP应答信息; 在步骤 311中,如果 ATCF为会话分配了 AGW以锚定媒体, 即携带了 AGW的 SDP信息, 则步骤 317的消息中携带 AGW的 SDP给 UE; 如果 ATCF没有为会话分配 AGW以锚定媒体, 即步骤 311中仍然携带了 UE的 SDP信息, 则 ATCF将远端 UE的 SDP信息发送给 UE。
参见图 4, 图 4为本发明实施例二的实现会话锚定的流程图, 该流程包 括以下步骤:
步骤 401、 UE在 LTE/SAE发起 IMS注册请求,该请求消息到达 ATCF; 步骤 402、 ATCF将注册请求消息送至用户拜访地的 S-CSCF; ATCF在注册请求消息中携带为该用户分配的 vSTN-SR; 步骤 403至步骤 404、 S-CSCF处理完注册请求后, 通过原路径向 UE 回复注册响应消息;
步骤 405、 S-CSCF处理完用户的注册消息后, 根据 iFC, 在需要时代 替 UE向相应的 AS进行第三方注册;
步骤 406、 UE发起 IMS会话建立请求, 其中携带有 UE的 SDP信息; 步骤 407、 收到会话建立请求后, ATCF将其转发给 UE归属的 IMS网 络的 S-CSCF;
ATCF发送的会话建立请求中携带有 UE的 SDP信息, 同时, ATCF在 会话建立请求中插入用于锚定用户会话的媒体的指示, 表明没有为该呼叫 分配 AGW;
步骤 408、 S-CSCF根据 iFC, 将呼叫触发到 SCC AS处理;
步骤 409、 由于在步骤 405中收到了 vSTN-SR, 所以 SCC AS明确拜访 地部署了用于锚定会话的 ATCF/AGW。 SCC AS根据各种信息, 比如用户 是否为 SRVCC用户 (可以根据用户签约信息予以判定)、 UE能力信息、 用 户是否漫游、 运营商配置的策略或其他因素, 判断是否在拜访地需要锚定 该会话的媒体。 若判断需要锚定, 则 SCC AS向 S-CSCF发送锚定指示, 指 示需要锚定该会话的媒体;
所述锚定指示可以通过针对会话建立的临时响应携带;
步骤 409a、 SCC AS通过 S-CSCF向远端 UE发送会话建立请求, 携带 UE的 SDP信息;
步骤 409b、远端 UE通过 S-CSCF向 SCC AS回复会话建立响应, 其中 携带有远端 UE的 SDP应答信息;
如果 SCC AS触发步骤 409 , 则步骤 409与步骤 409a并行发生; 步骤 410、 S-CSCF向 ATCF发送锚定指示; 步骤 411、 ATCF收到锚定指示后,根据该锚定指示以及本地网络策略、 UE能力信息等因素, 最终决策是否需要锚定该会话的媒体。 ATCF随后向 UE归属 IMS网络发起会话更新请求;
如果 ATCF最终决策需要分配 AGW以锚定 UE会话的媒体,则在步骤 411中携带 AGW的 SDP信息; 否则, 仍然携带 UE的 SDP信息;
步骤 412、 S-CSCF向 SCC AS发送会话更新请求;
步骤 413、如果步骤 412中的 SDP信息与步骤 408中的 SDP信息不同, 则 SCC AS通过 S-CSCF向远端 UE发送会话更新请求; 否则, SCC AS不 执行步骤 413 , 进而也不再有步骤 414;
步骤 414、 远端 UE通过 S-CSCF向 SCC AS回复会话更新响应, 其中 携带有远端 UE的新 SDP信息;
步骤 415至步骤 416、 SCC AS通过 S-CSCF向 ATCF回复会话建立响 应, 其中携带有步骤 414中收到的 SDP应答信息; 如果没有执行步骤 413 至步骤 414, 则携带步骤 409b中的 SDP应答信息;
步骤 417、 ATCF向 UE回复会话建立响应;
在步骤 411中,如果 ATCF为会话分配了 AGW以锚定媒体, 即携带了 AGW的 SDP信息, 则步骤 417的消息中携带 AGW的 SDP给 UE; 如果 ATCF没有为会话分配 AGW以锚定媒体, 即步骤 411中仍然携带了 UE的 SDP信息, 则 ATCF将步骤 416中的远端 UE的 SDP信息发送给 UE。
参见图 5 , 图 5为本发明实施例三的实现会话锚定的流程图, 该流程包 括以下步骤:
步骤 501至步骤 512与图 4中的步骤 401至步骤 412—致, 唯一区别 在于图 5中不包含步骤 409a和步骤 409b;
步骤 513、 SCC AS通过 S-CSCF向远端 UE发送会话建立请求, 其中 携带有步骤 512中收到的 SDP信息; 步骤 514、 远端 UE通过 S-CSCF向 SCC AS回复会话建立响应, 其中 携带有远端 UE的新 SDP信息;
步骤 515至步骤 516、 SCC AS通过 S-CSCF向 ATCF回复会话建立响 应, 其中携带有步骤 514中收到的 SDP应答信息;
步骤 517、 ATCF向 UE回复会话建立响应;
在步骤 511中,如果 ATCF为会话分配了 AGW以锚定媒体, 即携带了 AGW的 SDP信息, 则步骤 517的消息中携带 AGW的 SDP给 UE; 如果 ATCF没有为会话分配 AGW以锚定媒体, 即步骤 511中仍然携带了 UE的 SDP信息, 则 ATCF将步骤 516中的远端 UE的 SDP信息发送给 UE。
由以上所述各流程可见, 最初的锚定判断有可能触发后续的锚定决策, 并且在锚定决策完成之后, 如果最终确定需要锚定会话, 则触发后续的锚 定会话操作, 如: 图 3中的从步骤 311开始的操作, 图 4中的从步骤 411 开始的操作, 以及图 5中的从步骤 511开始的操作。 基于此, 本发明实现 会话锚定的操作思路可以表示如图 6所示。 参见图 6, 图 6为本发明实现会 话锚定的流程简图, 该流程包括以下步骤:
步骤 610: 根据用户签约信息等用户信息初步判定是否需要锚定会话, 并在初步判定需要锚定时发出锚定指示。 如: 根据用户的签约信息判定用 户为 SRVCC用户, 或根据 UE能力信息确定 UE有 SRVCC能力等, 则确 定需要锚定会话。
步骤 620: 根据锚定指示最终决策是否锚定会话。
结合前述的各流程, 需要说明的是, 在操作逻辑比较简单时, 可以在 收到锚定指示时就直接确定最终决策: 需要锚定会话。 在操作逻辑相对复 杂时, 则可以在收到锚定指示后进一步根据本地网络策略等因素、 UE是否 有 SRVCC能力等最终确定是否锚定会话。
为了保证上述操作能够顺利进行, 可以设置如图 7所示的系统。 参见 图 7, 图 7为本发明实施例的实现会话锚定的系统图, 该系统包括相连的锚 定初步判定单元、锚定决策单元。其中,锚定初步判定单元可以设置于 SCC AS等能够获取用户签约信息并进行逻辑判断的功能实体中, 锚定决策单元 则可以设置于 ATCF等能够对 UE进行接入控制的功能实体中。
具体应用时, 锚定初步判定单元可以根据用户签约信息等用户信息初 步判定是否需要锚定会话, 并在初步判定需要锚定时向锚定决策单元发出 锚定指示, 并可能携带一些影响决策的因素 (如 UE能力信息等), 由锚定 决策单元根据收到的锚定指示等内容最终决策是否锚定会话。
并且, 如果最终确定需要锚定会话, 锚定决策单元进一步可以触发后 续的锚定会话操作。
图 7所示各单元所能实现的具体操作已在前述各流程中详细描述, 在 此不再赘述。
综上所述可见, 无论是方法还是系统, 本发明实现会话锚定的技术, 均可保证只对需要锚定的会话提供锚定, 因而能够尽量减少网络资源的浪 费。 并且, 由于在不需要锚定时不会进行锚定, 因此不存在不必要的锚定 点, 所以不会因不必要的锚定点对用户的业务质量和用户体验造成不利影 响。
以上所述, 仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已, 并非用于限定本发明的保 护范围, 凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、 等同替换和改进 等, 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
