Description

单信道语音连续性实现方法及系统 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实现方法 及系统。 背景技术 图 1为演进的分组域系统( Evolved Packet System, 简称为 EPS )的架构 图, 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 E-UTRAN 或 EUTRAN ), 移动管理实体( Mobility Management Entity, 简称为 MME ), 务网关 (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, 简称为 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 )主要用于用户在源电路交换网络 用户面和信令交换功能; 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(可以称 为反向切换)的流程图,描述了 SR UE先在电路交换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, 包括如下步骤: 201、 GERAN/UTRAN网络才艮据 SR UE上 4艮的无线测量 4艮告, 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。 消息中携带网络接入指示, 指示 UE接入到 E-UTRAN网络, 并新 建网络资源完成切换;
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, 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 310-312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。 才艮据本发明的一个方面,提供了一种单信道语音连续性实现方法, 包括:

图 1B为相关技术中的单模业务连续性架构图; 图 2为相关技术中单模语音业务连续性从电路交换域切换分组交换域的 ¾i程图; 图 3 为 居本发明实施例一的单信道语音连续性实现系统的结构示意 图; 图 4为才艮据本发明实施例一的优选系统的架构示意图; 图 5为根据本发明实施例一的单信道反向切换的语音连续性实现方法的 流程图; 图 6为才艮据本发明实施例二的流程图。 具体实施方式 下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。 需要说明的是, 在 不冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。 实施例一 图 3 为 居本发明实施例一的单信道语音连续性实现系统的结构示意 图, 包括: UTRAN/GERAN 10、 eMSC 20、 MME 30、 分组数据网络网关(包 括 S-GW和 P-GW ) 40和 E-UTRAN 50。 其中, UTRAN/GERAN 10, 设置 为通知 eMSC 20准备将 UE由 CS域网络切换到由 E-UTRAN 50接入的 PS 域网络; eMSC 20, 设置为通知 PS域网络的 MME 30准备将 UE切换到 PS 域网络; MME 30, 设置为判断当前 PS域网络是否存在 UE的承载, 在判断 为否的情况下, 请求该 PS域网络的分组数据网络网关 40为 UE创建承载, 并在接收到分组数据网络网关 40 返回的承载创建成功响应后, 通知 E-UTRAN 为该承载分配空口资源, 以及通过源网络 (即 CS 域网络) 通知 UE切换到 PS域网络; 分组数据网络网关 40, 设置为为 UE创建承载, 在 UE 切换到 PS 域网络后, 通过该 载传输 UE 与远端之间的语音媒体; E-UTRAN 50, 设置为为分组数据网络网关 40创建的承载分配空口资源, 以 使 UE切换到 PS域网络后, 通过该承载传输 UE与远端之间的语音媒体。 在本实施例中, 如果 MME 30判断当前 PS i或网络存在 UE的 载, 则 不需要通知分组数据网络网关 40创建 载, 也不需要通知 E-UTRAN 50分 配空口资源, 在 UE切换到 PS域网络后, 利用该承载传输 UE与远端之间的 语音媒体。 相关技术中在 UE切换到目标网络之后, UE再在目标网络创建所需承 载, 然后再向用户归属地 IMS网络进行注册成功并对远端执行更新操作后, 才恢复 UE与远端间的语音通讯, 从而导致语音中断时间较长。 而本实施例 提供的系统中, 在对 SR UE执行由 CS域至 PS域的切换过程时, 在通知 UE 切换到目标网络之前, MME 30先通知目标网络的分组数据网络网关 40及 E-UTRAN 50执行 载创建和资源分配的过程, 从而可以减少 UE与远端间 语音中断的时间, 提高用户体验。 作为本实施例的一个可替换的实施例, 源 MSC不具有增强能力, 因此, 该实施例的单信道语音连续性实现系统还包括源 MSC 60, UTRAN/GERAN 10与 eMSC 20之间通过源 MSC 60进行消息交互,图 4为根据本实施例的优 选系统架构示意图。 在图 4中, 对现有的 eMSC 20进行扩展, 该 eMSC 20 在接收到源 MSC 60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 30; MME 30可以用于在接收到 eMSC 20的消息后, 请求 目标网络(即 PS域网络)为 UE创建承载, 并分配空口资源, 并通过源 MSC 60、 eMSC 20、 UTRAN/GERAN 10通过 UE切换到 PS i或网络。 通过本优选实施例, 可以在源 MSC 60不具备增强能力的情况下,在 UE 切换到目标网络之前, 在目标网络为 UE创建承载, 并分配空口资源, 从而 保证了源 MSC 60不具备增强能力的情况下, 也可以减少 UE与远端之间的 通话的中断时间。 图 5为根据本发明实施例一的单信道语音连续性实现方法的流程图, 该 方法用于在 UE从 CS域网络切换到 PS域网络的过程中保持语音连续, 主要 包括以下步 4聚 (步 4聚 S502 -步 4聚 S508 ): 步骤 S502, UTRAN/GERAN通过 eMSC通知 PS i或网络的 MME准备将 UE由 CS域网络切换到 PS域网络; 例如, 源 MSC为增强型的 MSC (即 eMSC ), 则 UTRAN/GERAN根据 UE上报的无线测量报告, 决定发起网络间接入切换, 向 eMSC发送切换请 求消息通知 eMSC准备将 UE切换到目标网络, eMSC再向 MME发送通知, 通知准备将 UE 切换到目标网络; 源 MSC 为非增强型的 MSC , 则 UTRAN/GERAN根据 UE上报的无线测量报告, 决定发起网络间接入切换, 向源 MSC发送切换请求消息, 源 MSC 居切换请求携带的目标小区信息, 向 eMSC发送切换准备消息通知 eMSC准备将 UE切换到目标网络, eMSC 再通知 MME。 步骤 S504, MME确定 PS域网络不存在该 UE的 载, 请求 PS域网络 的分组数据网络网关 (包括 S-GW 和 P-GW ) 为该 UE 创建承载, 通知 E-UTRAN为该 载分配空口资源; 例如, MME可以才艮据接收到的 UTRAN/GERAN通过 eMSC发送的消息 中携带的 UE的身份标识, 确定 PS域网络不存在该 UE的承载, 则 MME可 以进一步检查该 UE是否在 MME 中已经登 ΐ己, 从而如果没有, ΜΜΕ向该 UE所属的 HSS发送位置更新请求(例如, Update Location Request )获取用 户签约数据, HSS向 MME返回位置更新应答消息 (例如, Update Location Ack ), 消息中携带的用户签约数据包含 UE 的分组数据网络 (Packet Data Network , 简称为 PDN ) 上下文信息和建立缺省 载相关信息 QoS。
MME根据 UE的用户签约数据选择目标网络的 S-GW和 P-GW,向目标 网络中的 S-GW/P-GW 发送创建会话请求消息 (例如, Create Session Request ), 创建缺省承载。 在接收到来自 S-GW/P-GW的创建会话请求应答 消息 (例 口, Create Session Response ), MME向 E-UTRAN发送切换请求消 息(例如, HO Request ), 通知 E-UTRAN分配该 载的无线资源。 在接收到 E-UTRAN切换应答消息 ( HO ACK ), 向 eMSC返回 CS to PS切换应答消息 ( CS to PS HO Response ), 消息中携带接入已分配的无线资源的接入参数。 在 UE切换到目标网络之后, 也可以通过该专用承载传输 UE与远端之间的 语音数据。 优选地, MME向 S-GW/P-GW发送的创建会话请求消息中还可以携带 单信道语音连续性标识(SRVCC Indicator, 简称为 SI ), S-GW/P-GW在收到 创建会话请求消息根据 SI ,为 UE分配语音专用承载; S-GW/P-GW在向 MME 返回的创建会话应答消息中携带该专用承载的标识, MME 在向 E-UTRAN 发送的切换请求消息携带该专用 载的标识, 通知 E-UTRAN分配该专用^ 载的无线资源。在 UE切换到目标网络之后, 也可以通过该专用 载传输 UE 与远端之间的语音数据。 步骤 S506, MME通过源网络(即 CS域网络 )通知 UE切换到 PS域网 络; 例如, MME向 eMSC发送 CS to PS切换应答消息, eMSC向源 MSC返 回切换准备应答消息,源 MSC向 GERAN/UTRAN返回切换应答消息(或者, 如果源 MSC具有增强能力, 则 eMSC和源 MSC为同一实体, eMSC直接向 GERAN/UTRAN返回切换应答消息), GERAN/UTRAN通过切换命令消息通 知 UE切换到 EUTRAN。 其中, 上述 CS to PS切换应答消息、 切换准备应答 消息和切换命令消息中携带有 EUTRAN分配的无线资源的接入参数, UE根 据该无线资源资源的接入参数接入到 PS域网络。 步骤 S508, UE切换到 PS域网络后, 利用 E-UTRAN分配的空口资源通 过为 UE创建的承载传输 UE与远端之间的语音媒体。 例如, UE和 eMSC可以通过上述的流程交互相互的 IP地址和端口号, UE或 eMSC才艮据对端的 IP地址和端口号, 可以在 UE与 eMSC之间的创建 一段临时的媒体连接, 通过该媒体连接,传输 UE切换到 PS域网络后与远端 的语音媒体, 这样可以进一步减少语音中断的时间。 或者, 也可以不在 UE和 eMSC之间创建临时的媒体连接, 而是按照图
2所示的流程执行, 不同之处在于, 在 UE切换到 PS域网络后, 由于目标网 络已为 UE创建承载, 因此不需要再执行步骤 209, 在 IMS远端媒体更新成 功后, 利用步骤 S504创建的承载 (缺少承载或专用承载) 建立切换后路径, 传输 UE与远端之间的语音媒体。 通过本实施例的上述单信道语音连续性实现方法, 可以在 UE切换到目 标网络之前, 在目标网络为 UE创建 载, 避免了在 UE切换到目标网络之 后再创建承载而导致语音通讯中断时间加长的问题, 提高了用户体验。 实施例二 本实施例所描述的为 SR UE在 GERAN/UTRAN网络仅发生电路域语音 业务时, 由 GERAN/UTRAN切换到 EUTRAN网络的流程。 图 6为本实施例 的信令流程图, GERAN/UTRAN根据 SR UE上报的测量报告, 决定发起接 入网络切换, 向 Source MSC发送切换请求消息, 主要包括以下步骤:

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, 消息携 带 607-611创建的 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, 消息中携带所分配的空口资源接入参数;
