电路域回退的方法及设备 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 并且更具体地, 涉及电路域回退的方法、 用户设 备 ( User Equipment, UE )、移动交换中心 ( Mobile Services Switching Centre , MSC )和移动管理实体 ( Mobility Management Entity, MME )。 背景技术
2G/3G网络经过多年的部署, 在某种程度上可以看作一种全面的覆盖, 随着系统架构演进 ( System Architecture Evolution, SAE ) /长期演进 ( Long Term Evolution, LTE ), 高速分组接入( High Speed Packet Access, HSPA ), HSPA+以及全球互联 波接入 ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access , WiMAX ) 网络技术的发展, 这些网络已覆盖到一些城区和话务热 点地区, 导致在目前的通信网络中, 这些网络和 2G/3G网络并存。 为描述方 便起见, 将仅提供分组交换(Packet Switching, PS )域的 SAE/LTE, HSPA, HSPA+, WiMAX等统称为纯 PS域网络。 针对不同的网络承载机制, 可将 移动通信的语音呼叫分为如下几类:
第一类是电路交换(Circuit Switching, CS )域承载的会话类业务, 如 语音电话;
第二类是 PS域承载的会话类业务,也称为互联网协议( Internet Protocol,
IP )语音(( Voice over Internet Protocol , VoIP )类业务,由互联网十办议 ( Internet Protocol, IP ) 多媒体子系统 ( IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS )提供服务质 量(Quality of Service, QoS )保证, 如 IP承载的语音电话。
对于纯 PS域网络,语音呼叫只能在其 PS域承载上传输, IMS通过基于 IP的网络来控制语音呼叫。 在 2G/3G网络中, 语音呼叫一般都是承载在 CS 域上。
在 LTE的早期部署阶段, 运营商可以用 2G/3G网络来为用户提供语音 服务, 用 LTE网络为用户提供数据服务, 终端是多模终端, 但是对于大部分 终端来说, 由于实现复杂性和成本考虑, 不能同时收发 LTE信号和 2G/3G 信号, 对此现有技术采用电路域回退(CS fallback, CSFB )技术。 一种场景 就是 UE在 LTE网络里进行数据业务或者处于空闲状态, 这时候 UE要发起 CS语音呼叫,需要把 UE的无线模块从 LTE调到 2G/3G,然后 UE在 2G/3G 里发起语音呼叫, 这种称为 UE发起的呼叫(MOC, mobile originating call ); 另一种场景是 UE在 LTE网络里进行数据业务或者处于空闲状态,这时候有 用户要呼叫该 UE, LTE网络要能通知该 UE有 CS呼叫到达, UE能据此把 无线模块调到 2G/3G, 接收 CS呼叫, 这种称为 UE做被叫的呼叫 (MTC, mobile terminating call )。
当使用 MME与 MSC server之间的接口 SGs进行联合注册时, 可以实 现 UE附着在 LTE的同时, 通过 MME在 MSC进行注册。 后续 UE回退到 CS域后可以发起 CS业务。 UE回退到 CS域的现有技术包括:分组交换( PS, packet switch ) i或切换、 网给十办助小区变换( NACC, network assisted cell change )和无线资源指配释放( RRC release )。
现有技术没有通过从 PS域切换到 CS域回退到电路域后发起 CS呼叫或 接收 CS呼叫的技术方案。 发明内容

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行 清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不 是全部实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创 造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都应属于本发明保护的范围。
在单射频语音连续性 (SRVCC)过程中, UE在 LTE侧为 VoIP呼叫, 在 2G/3G侧为 CS呼叫, 当需要将 LTE侧的 VoIP呼叫回退到 2G/3G时, eNB 发起 PS到 CS切换请求消息给 MME, MME发起 SRVCC切换, MSC发起 会话转移过程, MSC发送 PS到 CS切换应答消息给 MME, MME发送切换 命令给 eNB, eNB发送切换命令给 UE。
在 UE收到切换命令并判断出是 PS 到 CS切换后, UE需要建立一个默 认呼叫, 该呼叫用 TI ( transaction ID )进行标识, 例如, 所建默认呼叫 TI=0。 所述默认呼叫表示在 LTE侧建立的 VoIP, 后续 UE要对该呼叫进行操作的 话, 就直接对 TI=0的呼叫进行操作, 比如释放、 挂起等操作。
但是, 当采用从 PS切换到 CS的方式回退到电路域进行 MTC或 MOC 处理时, 此时虽然没有 LTE侧的 VoIP呼叫, 但是在现有实现方案中 UE仍 然会建立默认呼叫, MSC 也可能会相应地建立默认呼叫, 这样该默认呼叫 就在 UE和 MSC上存在。对于 UE做主叫的情况, MSC并未发起到对端 UE 的呼叫, 因此从全局看, 该呼叫是不通的, 因此 UE在接入完成后需要发起 新的呼叫, 以便和对端实现语音通话。 但是建立一个新的呼叫会分配一个不 同于已有呼叫的 TI, MSC会看到 UE存在两个 Ή, 导致 MSC接续错误。 对 于 UE做被叫的情况, MSC也建立了默认呼叫,该呼叫也是仅在 UE和 MSC 上存在, 同时 MSC上还存在对端来的被叫的信息, MSC也会看到 UE存在 两个 TI, 导致 MSC接续错误。 并且, 现有的移动管理实体的处理流程也不 支持采用 PS切换到 CS的方式实现 CSFB。
本发明实施例通过 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域的方式实现电路域回退。
UE在回退到电路域后释放或保持在切换过程中生成的默认 CS呼叫, 发起 CS呼叫或接收 CS域呼叫, 避免了接续错误, 建立了呼叫。 通过这种方式建 立呼叫, 因为 UE根据接收的切换命令而切换到 CS域无需通过广播方式获 取系统消息, 从而减小了呼叫建立时延。
应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 如无特殊说明, 术语 "第一" 和 "第二" 仅仅是为了区分不同的信息或内容, 不对本发明实施例作其他限定。
图 1 是本发明实施例的系统架构示意图。 如图 1 所示, 在现有架构的 MME与 MSC之间增加了一个 Sv接口。
应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 各个实体也可以表述为设备, 各个实体既 可以是单独的设备,也可以是设置在其他设备中的设备。例如, MME和 MSC 也可以表述为 MME设备和 MSC设备。
图 2示出了根据本发明实施例的电路域回退的方法 100 的示意性流程 图。 如图 2所示, 该方法 100包括:
S110, UE向 MME发送请求执行 CSFB的请求消息;
S120, 该 UE接收 eNodeB发送的切换命令, 该切换命令指示该 UE从
PS域切换到 CS域; S130, 该 UE根据该切换命令切换到 CS域后, 释放或保持该 UE的默 认 CS呼叫, 其中, 该默认 CS呼叫是该 UE根据该切换命令生成的;
S140, 该 UE通过 MSC发起 CS呼叫或接收 CS呼叫。
在本发明实施例中, UE在做主叫, 即要发起 CS呼叫时, 或在做被叫, 即响应 CS呼叫时, 向 MME发送请求执行 CSFB的请求消息, 例如, 扩展 的业务请求; 网络触发 UE从 PS到 CS的切换; UE在接收到网络侧的切换 命令后, 接入 CS域, 生成默认 CS呼叫, 例如, TI=0的呼叫; 然后 UE释 放或保持生成的默认 CS呼叫, 即不使用该默认 CS呼叫, 而是再通过 MSC 发起 CS呼叫或接收 CS呼叫。
因此, 本发明实施例的电路域回退的方法, UE以从 PS域切换到 CS域 的方式实现电路域回退后, 释放或保持切换时生成的默认呼叫, 发起 CS呼 叫或接收 CS呼叫, 实现了与对端的通话。
应理解, 本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种支持 PS到 CS的切 换的系统, 例如支持 SRVCC的系统。
在 S110中, UE向 ΜΜΕ发送请求执行电路域回退 CSFB的请求消息。 具体而言, UE在要发起 CS呼叫, 或者, UE收到 CS寻呼消息时, 需 要回退到 CS域, 因此, 向 ΜΜΕ发送扩展的业务请求, 请求 CSFB。
MME在收到 UE发送的扩展的业务请求后, 可以确定网络是否支持 PS 到 CS的切换, 在确定网络支持 PS到 CS的切换时, 向 eNodeB发送 S1接 口消息, 例如 S1-AP消息。 MME也可以在无需确定网络是否支持 PS到 CS 切换的情况下, 例如, 网络缺省就支持从 PS到 CS的切换, 直接向 eNodeB 发送 S1接口消息。 MME是在收到扩展业务请求之后发送 S1接口消息指示 将 UE从 PS域, 即 LTE网络的 PS域, 切换到 2G或 3G网络的 CS域, 因 此该切换也就是由 CSFB触发的切换。 该 S1接口消息指示该 eNodeB将该 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域。 例如, 该 S1接口消息携带指示信息, 该指示信 息用以指示该 eNodeB将该 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域。 为与现有的 CSFB指 示信息相区别, 该指示信息可以称之为增强的 CSFB指示信息。 该 S1-AP消 息可以是初始上下文建立请求消息 (INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST) 或者 UE上下文修改请求消息 (UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST)„ 该增强的 CSFB指示信息可以是在 S1-AP消息中添加的一个单独的指示信 息, 也可以是在现有的 CSFB指示中添加的一个指示信息。 eNodeB在收到该 Sl-AP消息后, 根据该增强的 CSFB指示信息, 执行 到通用移动通信系统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, UMTS ) 或者全球移动通讯 ( Global System of Mobile communication, GSM ) 的 CS 域的切换。 进一步地, 若网络支持 LTE到统一陆地无线接入网络(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network , UTRAN )或 GSM/增强型数据速率 GSM演 进( Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution, EDGE )无线接入网( GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network, GERAN )的 PS切换, 则 eNodeB也可以同时触发到 UTRAN或 GERAN的 PS切换。 然后, eNodeB向 MME发送用于将该 UE 从 PS域切换到 CS域的第一切换请求。该第一切换请求可以携带第一 CSFB 指示信息,该第一 CSFB指示信息指示该第一切换请求消息是为执行该 CSFB 而发送的, 也就是表示该第一切换请求是由 CSFB触发的。 可选地, 该第一 CSFB指示信息可以是 CSFB指示和 SRVCC切换指示, 表示 UE的从 PS到 CS的切换是由 CSFB触发的。 或者, 该第一 CSFB指示信息为 SRVCC切换 指示信息, MME根据该 SRVCC切换指示信息和保存的会话转移号码 -单接 收机 ( Session Transfer Number- Single Radio, STN-SR )判断第一切换请求是 由 CSFB触发的, 或者 MME根据该 SRVCC切换指示信息和保存的 CSFB 状态判断第一切换请求是由 CSFB触发的。
MME收到 eNodeB发送的该第一切换请求后, 可以根据该第一 CSFB 指示信息确定该第一切换请求消息是为执行该 CSFB而发送的。或者, MME 在之前收到 UE 的扩展的业务请求时, 增加一个 CSFB 状态, 记录发生了 CSFB状态, 在收到该第一切换请求时, 根据记录的 CSFB状态确定 UE从 PS到 CS的切换是由 CSFB触发的, 即该第一切换请求是为执行 CSFB而发 送的。
然后, MME向 MSC发送用于将该 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域的第二切 换请求, 该第二切换请求携带第二 CSFB指示信息, 该第二 CSFB指示信息 指示该第二切换请求是为执行该 CSFB 而发送的, 即该第二切换请求是由 CSFB触发的。 可选地, 该第二 CSFB指示信息可以是一个单独的指示, 也 可以是预配置的 STN-SR, 也就是说, MME在切换请求中携带一个特殊的 STN-SR, MSC根据该特殊的 STN-SR判断出是为 CSFB而执行的切换过程, 这个特殊号码可以在 MME和 MSC上预先配置好。
可选地, 在 S110之前, 该方法 100还包括: 该 UE向该 MME发送支持的语音编解码和 SRVCC能力。
例如, UE在网络附着流程或者位置更新( Tracking Area Update, TAU ) 流程中,上"¾支持的语音编解码和 SRVCC能力(如分类标识( classmark ) 2 或 Classmark 3 )。
可选地, MME将 UE上报的支持的语音编解码发送给 MSC。
MSC在收到 MME发送的切换请求(即前述第二切换请求)后, 进行将 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域的切换准备, 预留资源, 生成默认 CS呼叫, 例如 TI=0的呼叫。 或者, MSC根据切换请求中携带的 CSFB指示信息 (即前述 第二 CSFB指示信息)不生成 TI=0的呼叫。 MSC不发送初始地址消息( Initial Address Message, IAM )或者邀请( INVITE )。 可选地, MSC可能需要触发 inter-MSC切换。 在切换准备完成后, MSC向 MME发送切换响应消息。
可选地, MME发送切换请求给服务通用分组无线业务( General Packet Radio Service, GPRS )支撑节点 ( Serving GPRS Support Node, SGSN ), 触 发 PS到 PS的切换。
MME收到 MSC发送的切换响应消息后,向 eNodeB发送第一切换命令, eNodeB发送第二切换命令给 UE, 该第二切换命令指示该 UE从 PS域切换 到 CS域。 可选地, 若同时触发了 PS到 PS的切换, 则 MME协调 PS到 CS 的切换响应和 PS到 PS的切换响应, MME把两条消息合并, 把 PS透明容 器和 CS透明容器合并, MME发送给 eNodeB的切换命令包含了合并后的透 明容器。 可选地, eNodeB在发送给 UE的切换命令中, 添加 CSFB指示。 当 UE接入失败时, 如果 UE接收到该 CSFB指示, 则 UE选择一个可用 2G 或 3G网络。
在 S120中, UE接收 eNodeB发送的切换命令 (即前述第二切换命令 ), 该切换命令指示该 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域。
在 S130中, UE根据该切换命令切换到 CS域后, 释放或保持该 UE的 默认 CS呼叫。
UE根据切换命令接入 GERAN/UTRAN网络,并自动生成默认 CS呼叫, 如 TI=0的呼叫。 UE切换完成后发送切换完成消息给基站子系统( Base Station Subsystem, BSS )或无线网络子系统(Radio Network Subsystem, RNS ), BSS或 RNS发送切换完成消息给 MSC。
在切换过程中生成的默认 CS呼叫需要释放或保持后才能继续进行新的 呼叫。
可选地, 如图 3所示, 该方法 100还包括:
S150, 该 UE向该 MSC发送呼叫释放消息或呼叫保持消息, 该呼叫释 放消息或该呼叫保持消息指示该 MSC释放或保持该 MSC在切换准备过程中 生成的默认 CS呼叫。
具体而言,在本发明实施例中, UE释放或保持自动生成的 TI=0的呼叫, 并向 MSC发送呼叫释放消息(disconnect )或呼叫保持消息(hold ), 该呼叫 释放消息或该呼叫保持消息包含的 TI都是 0, MSC根据 CSFB指示信息, 以及该呼叫释放消息或该呼叫保持消息, 释放或保持该 MSC在切换准备过 程中生成的 TI=0的呼叫。 MSC不向呼叫对端局发送消息, 也不进行 iu释放 ( release ) , 对于呼叫保持消息, MSC 向 UE 回应保持确认 ( hold acknowledge ), 对于呼叫释放消息, MSC不向 UE发送回应消息。
可选地, 如图 4所示, 在释放或保持该 UE的默认 CS呼叫之前, 该方 法 100还包括:
S160, 该 UE接收该 MSC发送的呼叫释放消息或呼叫保持消息, 该呼 叫释放消息或该呼叫保持消息指示该 UE释放或保持该默认 CS呼叫;
释放或保持该 UE的默认 CS呼叫, 包括:
S131 , 该 UE根据该呼叫释放消息或该呼叫保持消息释放或保持该默认 CS呼叫。
在本发明实施例中, MSC向 UE发送呼叫释放消息或呼叫保持消息,也 就是说, MSC根据 CSFB指示信息释放或保持该 MSC在切换准备过程中生 成的 TI=0的呼叫。 MSC不发送 iu release, 并且, MSC向 UE发送呼叫释放 消息或呼叫保持消息, 该呼叫释放消息或该呼叫保持消息包含的 Ή都是 0, UE根据该呼叫释放消息或该呼叫保持消息释放或保持该 UE生成的 TI=0的 呼叫。
可选地, UE还可以根据切换命令中的 CSFB指示, 不自动生成 TI=0的 呼叫; 相应地, MSC根据 ΜΜΕ发送的切换请求中携带的 CSFB指示信息不 自动生成 TI=0的呼叫。
在 S140中, UE通过 MSC发起 CS呼叫或接收 CS呼叫。
在释放或保持默认呼叫后, UE通过 MSC发起 CS呼叫或接收 CS呼叫, 以实现与对端的通话。 具体地, 在 UE主叫时, UE在释放或保持 TI=0的呼叫后, 触发连接管 理业务请求 (CM Service Request)过程, MSC触发鉴权过程, UE向 MSC发 送 CS呼叫建立消息, 即 Setup, 该 CS呼叫建立消息携带被叫号码。 MSC 接收该 CS呼叫建立消息, 根据该 CS呼叫建立消息发送出局呼叫。 若之前 MSC生成了 TI= 0的 CS呼叫,则该 CS呼叫建立消息携带 ΤΙ=Υ, Υ不为 0, MSC将 ΤΙ更新为 Υ。
在 UE被叫时,在释放或保持 TI=0的呼叫后, MSC向 UE发送 CS呼叫 建立消息, 即 Setup, 该 CS呼叫建立消息携带主叫号码, 完成本次呼叫。
这样, 本发明实施例的电路域回退的方法, 由 CSFB触发 UE从 PS域 到 CS域的切换,在 UE接入 CS域后释放或保持在切换时生成的默认 CS呼 叫, 再发起 CS呼叫或接收 CS呼叫, 避免了接续错误, 建立了呼叫。 通过 这种方式建立呼叫, 因为 UE根据接收的切换命令而切换到 CS域无需通过 广播方式获取系统消息, 从而减小了呼叫建立时延。。
以上从 UE的角度详细描述了本发明实施例的电路域回退的方法, 下面 从 MSC的角度描述本发明实施例的电路域回退的方法。
图 5示出了根据本发明另一实施例的电路域回退的方法 200的示意性流 程图。 如图 5所示, 该方法 200包括:
S210, MSC接收 MME发送的用于请求将 UE从 PS域切换到 CS域的 切换请求, 该切换请求携带 CSFB指示信息, 该 CSFB指示信息指示该切换 请求是该 MME收到该 UE发送的请求执行 CSFB的请求消息而发送的;
S220, 该 MSC根据该切换请求向该 MME发送切换响应消息;
S230, 该 MSC接收该 UE发送的切换完成消息, 该切换完成消息指示 该 UE已完成从 PS域到 CS域的切换;
