一种网络管理电路交换语音回落的方法和系统
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种网络管理电路交换( Circuit Switched, 简称 CS )语音回落的方法和系统。 背景技术
为了保持第三代移动通信系统在移动通信领域的强有力的竟争力, 必须 提高其网络性能和降低网络建设和运营成本。 因此, 3GPP ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三代合作伙伴计划)的标准化工作组目前正致力研究对 PS Core( Packet Switched Core,分组交换核心网)和 UTRAN( Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Radio Access Network,全球移动通信系统无线接入 网) 的演进, 目的是使得演进的 PS Core( (简称 EPC )可提供更高的传输速 率,更短的传输延时,并支持 E-UTRAN( Evolved UTRAN,演进的 UTRAN )、 GERAN ( GSM EDGE radio access network, GSM EDGE无线接入网, 其中 GSM是 Global System for Mobile communications的缩写, 即全球移动通讯系 统, EDGE是 Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution的缩写, 即增强型数据速 率 GSM演进技术) 、 UTRAN、 WLAN ( Wireless Local Area Network, 无线 局域网)及其它非 3GPP的接入网络之间的移动性管理。 这个演进的移动通 信系统, 就被称为 EPS ( Evolved Packet System, 演进的分组域系统) , 其基 本架构如图 1虚线框中所示。 图 1中各实体说明如下:
UE ( User Equipment, 用户设备, 或称为终端) 101 : 具有能接入两种无 线网络能力的终端称为双模终端。 按照同时接入无线网络的能力, 双模终端 又可以分为单无线信道接入和双无线信道接入终端。 前者在同一时间只能接 入一种无线网络; 后者可以同时接入到两种无线接入网络中。
E-UTRAN 102: 演进的无线接入网, 可以提供更高的上下行速率, 更低 的传输延迟和更加可靠的无线传输。
S-GW ( Serving Gateway, 服务网关) 103 , 是一个用户面实体, 负责用户 面数据路由处理。
P-GW( Packet Data Network Gateway,分组数据网网关,简称 PDN GW或 P-GW ) 104, 负责 UE接入 PDN ( Packet Data Network, 分组数据网)的网关 功能。 P-GW和 S-GW可能合设在一个物理实体中。
MME ( Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理实体) 105, 是一个控制 面实体,临时存储用户数据的服务器, 负责管理和存储 UE上下文(比如 UE/ 用户标识, 移动性管理状态, 用户安全参数等) , 为用户分配临时标识, 当 UE驻扎在该跟踪区域或者该网络时负责对该 UE进行鉴权。
HSS ( Home Subscriber Server, 归属用户服务器) 106, 包含 HLR ( Home Location Register, 归属位置寄存器)功能, 保存有用户的基本数据和业务数 据。
IP ( Internet Protocol, 互联网协议) 多媒体子系统 ( IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem, 简称 IMS )是由 3GPP提出的一种基于 IP的网络架构, 其构建了一个开放而灵活的业务环境, 支持多媒体应用, 并为用户提供丰富 的多媒体业务。 IMS是基于 IP的电信网络架构, 与接入技术无关, 除了可以 为 EPS、 GPRS ( General Packet Radio Service, 通用分组无线业务) 、 WLAN ( Wireless Local Area Network, 无线局域网 )等分组接入网络提供业务外, 也可以为 GSM、 UMTS ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 通用 移动通信系统)等移动蜂窝网络提供业务。
GERAN/UTRAN 107: 传统 GSM/UMTS网络的无线接入网。
MSC ( Mobile Switching Center, 移动交换中心) /VLR ( Visitor Location Register, 拜访位置寄存器) 108, 其中, VLR通常位于 MSC上。
GMSC ( Gateway Mobile Switching Center , 关口移动交换中心) 109。
SGSN( Serving GPRS Support Node, GPRS服务支持节点) 110,是 GPRS 网络的控制网元, 主要作用是记录 UE 的位置信息, 并且在 UE和 GGSN ( Gateway GPRS Supporting Node, GPRS网关支持节点)之间完成移动分组 数据的发送和接收。
当 UE在 GSM或 UMTS网络接入时, 用户的基本语音业务以及基于语 音业务的补充业务是通过〇8域(或称为 CS网络 )提供的,图 1中的 MSC/VLR、 GMSC属于 CS域网元, 用户通过 CS域可以与本网内或者其它网络(比如固 定电话网、其它移动网)的用户进行语音呼叫类业务。 用户的 IP业务通过 PS ( Packet Switched, 分组交换)域提供。 图 1中 SGSN属于 PS域网元。 用户 通过 PS域来访问分组数据网, 图 1中运营商提供的 IP网络就是分组数据网。
现有技术中, MSC/VLR和 SGSN之间的接口称为 Gs接口。 Gs接口完成 在 MSC/VLR和 SGSN之间建立 Gs关联关系 (在 SGSN保存 VLR号码, 在 VLR保存 SGSN号码 ) , 和在建立 Gs关联关系后 MSC/VLR通过 PS域寻呼 到被叫用户的 UE。
现有技术中, MSC/VLR和 MME之间的接口称为 SGs接口。 SGs接口完 成在 MSC/VLR和 MME之间建立 SGs关联关系 (在 MME保存 VLR号码 , 在 VLR保存 MME地址) 。
当 UE在 EPS网络接入时, 用户的基本语音业务以及基于语音业务的补 充业务是通过 IMS控制的, EPS本身并不能提供和控制语音呼叫业务, 只能 提供 IP数据的承载。 但是在 EPS网络部署时, 有些运营商只在 UMTS/GSM 网络已经覆盖的重点区域部署 EPS网络,用来为用户提供高速的 IP数据业务, 没有 (或不想)部署 IMS , 此种场景下, 运营商希望通过已经全面覆盖的 UMTS/GSM CS网络来提供语音呼叫业务、 短信业务、 定位业务、 非结构化 的补充业务等 CS 网络业务。 但是对于单无线信道的双模终端而言, 当接入 EPS 网络时用户就无法进行上述的语音呼叫等业务。 为了保证用户能够进行 语音呼叫等业务, 一种最简单也是 3GPP现阶段唯一支持的解决方案就是在 进行语音呼叫等业务时, 让 UE从 EPS网络接入切换为从 UMTS/GSM网络 接入, 在 UMTS/GSM CS域网络来实现语音业务。 当 UE在 EPS网络发起语 音呼叫时, 会先通知 EPS网络, EPS网络将 UE切换到 GSM/UMTS网络, 使 UE能在 CS网络进行语音业务。 用户在 EPS网络当前正在进行的 IP业务切 换到 UMTS/GSM PS域网络,如果正在进行的 IP业务不能切换到 UMTS/GSM PS域, 就在 EPS 网络中挂起或者释放。 这就是通常所说的电路域回落(CS fallback, 或者称为 CS回落) 。
现有的电路域回落实现方法大致如下: 在 MME和 MSC/VLR之间引入 一个类似 Gs的接口, 称为 SGs (如图 1中所示)。 当 UE开机接入 EPS网络 时, MME和 MSC/VLR之间通过 SGs接口建立 SGs关联关系(在 MME中保 存 VLR号码, 在 VLR中保存 MME地址 ) 。 后续当用户在网络中移动时, 用户的最新位置信息会更新到 MME, 如果 MME发生变化, VLR中保存的 MME信息也会更新 , 保证 VLR中保存的 MME信息总是准确的。
在接入 EPS网络的 UE发起语音呼叫等业务时, UE给 E-UTRAN发送一 个特定的消息, E-UTRAN收到该消息后发起切换流程,将用户当前正在进行 的 IP业务切换到 UMTS/GSM PS网络或者在 EPS网络挂起等,然后 UE接入 UMTS/GSM网络并在 CS网络发起语音呼叫等业务的流程。
在接入 EPS网络的 UE作为 CS业务的被叫 (收到语音呼叫等业务) 时,
MSC/VLR通过 SGs接口给 EPS网络发 CS寻呼消息, EPS网络接收到 CS寻 呼请求消息, 进行电路域回落。
若网络不支持 IMS语音业务, UE只能通过 CS回落技术, 釆用 CS网络 实现语音业务。具有 CS回落能力的 UE在 EPS网络进行附着并向 CS网络联 合注册的现有技术如下所述, 见图 2。
UE发起的 EPS和 CS附着流程包含如下步骤:
步骤 201 , UE向通过 E-UTRAN向 MME发起附着请求 , 在请求消息中 携带 "附着类型"参数,附着类型标识 UE请求的是 EPS和 IMSI ( International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 国际移动用户识别码)联合注册, 并通知网络 UE 可以使用 CS网络。
步骤 202, MME对 UE进行认证, 从 HSS下载 UE的签约数据, 并向 S-GW及 P-GW申请建立默认承载。
步骤 203 , MME 分配一个本地配置的默认的 LAI ( Location Area Identifier, 位置区识别码) , 并根据分配的 LAI找到 VLR 的号码, 然后向 MSC/VLR发起位置更新请求。
步骤 204 , MME发送位置更新请求给 VLR , 消息中包含新的 LAI , IMSI, MME的 IP地址,位置更新类型等信息。
步骤 205 , VLR与 MME之间建立起承载 SGs口之上的安全联盟。 步骤 206 , VLR在 CS域执行位置更新过程。
步骤 207 , CS域位置更新成功后, VLR向 MME返回位置更新成功消息, 消息中携带 VLR TMSI ( Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity, 临时移动用户 识别码) 。
步骤 208, MME发送附着成功消息给 UE, 消息中除携带 EPS的相关参 数外, 同时携带 CS位置更新相关参数, 如 LAI, VLR TMSI等参数, UE判 断联合注册成功, UE可以釆用 CS回落的方式实现语音业务。
具有 CS回落能力的 UE在 EPS网络进行 TAU ( Tracked Area Update,跟 踪区域更新 )并向 CS网络联合位置更新的现有技术如下所述, 见图 3。
UE发起的 TA/LA (跟踪区域和位置区域) 更新流程包含如下步骤:
步骤 301 , UE发现移动到新的 TA, 新 TA不属于原 MME的 TA列表, UE需要执行 TA/LA更新流程, 并重新建立 SGs安全联盟。
步骤 302 , UE向目标 MME发起 TAU请求, 请求消息中携带更新类型 参数, 指示这是 TA/LA联合更新请求。
步骤 303 , EPS网络执行 TAU过程, 目标 MME从 HSS下载 UE的用户 签约数据, 并向 S-GW及 P-GW申请建立默认承载, 执行 UE从原 MME切 换到目标 MME的过程。
步骤 304,对于 MM ( Mobility Management, 移动管理)上下文中有 VLR 联盟信息 , VLR联盟信息需要根据新的 LA信息更新。 目标 MME向 VLR发 起位置更新请求, 携带新的 LAI, IMSI, MME的 IP地址, 位置更新类型。 位置更新类型指示这是一个正常的位置更新过程。
步骤 305, VLR执行 CS域的位置更新过程。
步骤 306, CS域位置更新成功后, VLR向 MME返回位置更新成功消息, 消息中携带 VLR TMSL
步骤 307 , MME向 UE返回 TAU接受消息, 并携带 CS位置更新成功的 参数, 如 LAI, VLR TMSI等参数, 指示在 CS也位置更新成功。 同时 EPC 网络若支持 IMS会话, 也会将支持 IMS会话指示发给 UE。
如上所述,现有技术中, UE附着到 EPS实现语音业务釆用 UE可以进行 EPS/CS联合注册或 TA/LA位置更新设计的流程,可以保证 UE可正常使用语 音业务。
现有技术中, UE有两种可选的属性, 一个是 "voice centric" 即语音中心 属性, 若 UE是语音中心属性, 就需要附着在具有语音业务能力的无线网络, 随时可进行语音业务。 另一种是 " Data centric" 即数据中心属性, 若 UE是数 据中心属性, 则需要可以附着在不支持语音业务的 EPS网络, 随时实现数据 业务, 如上网、 下载数据等。
对于 UE发起的注册流程, 若 UE无法联合注册成功, UE又是 "voice centric" 属性, 必须要实现语音业务, 现有的解决方法如下所述, 见图 4: 步骤 401 , UE通过用户选择或签约是 "voice centric" 属性的 UE, 需要 实现语音业务。 UE向通过 E-UTRAN向 MME发起附着请求 , 在请求消息中 携带 "附着类型" 参数, 附着类型标识 UE请求的是 EPS/IMSI联合注册, 并 通知网络 UE可以使用 CS网络。
步骤 402, MME对 UE进行认证, 从 HSS下载 UE的签约数据, 并向 S-GW、 P-GW申请建立默认承载。
步骤 403 , MME分配一个本地配置的默认的 LAI, 并根据分配的 LAI 找到 VLR的号码, 然后向 MSC/VLR发起位置更新请求。
步骤 404 , MME发送位置更新请求给 VLR , 消息中包含新的 LAI , IMSI, MME的 IP地址,位置更新类型等信息。
步骤 405, VLR与 MME之间建立起承载 SGs口之上的安全联盟, 并在 CS域执行位置更新过程。 若 CS网络认证失败, 如无用户数据、 用户签约受 限等原因, 会造成 CS位置更新失败。
步骤 406, VLR将位置更新失败消息返回给 MME。
步骤 407, MME发送附着成功消息给 UE,消息中只携带 EPS的相关参 数, 不携带 CS位置更新相关参数, UE可以判断 EPS附着成功但 CS附着不 成功, UE无法附着在 EPS网络实现语音业务。
步骤 408, UE判断是 "voice centric" 属性, 需要实现语音业务。
步骤 409, UE主动向 EPS网络发起注销请求,取消附着在 CS联合注册 失败的 EPS网络。
步骤 410 - 411 , EPS网络释放为 UE建立的资源, 并通知 UE注销成功。 步骤 412, UE需要尝试寻找其它的无线网络进行附着并联合注册, 若联 合注册不成功就重复步骤 401 ~ 411的流程, 直到寻找到可用的 CS网络。
如上所述, 在 UE设置为 "Voice Centric" 属性下, 若 EPS/CS联合注册 失败且 EPS不支持 IMS会话时, UE可以附着到 EPS,但不能通过 IMS或 CS 域发起 CS呼叫。 即使在 EPS附着成功, UE也需要执行 EPS注销, 并尝试在 其它 RAT( Radio Access Technology,无线接入技术)网络注册。此时的 EPS/CS 多了一次注册与注销过程, 占用了有限的网络资源;
UE还可能不断尝试到其它 E-UTRAN进行注册,就会消耗更多网络资源, 并且 UE在此期间并不能使用 CS业务,严重影响了用户的语音业务使用与用 户体验。
对于 UE发起的 TAU/LAU位置更新流程,若 UE无法联合位置更新成功, UE又是 "voice centric"属性, 必须要实现语音业务, 现有的解决方法如下所 述, 见图 5:
步骤 501 , UE通过用户选择或签约是 "voice centric" 属性的 UE, 需要 实现语音业务, 并附着到了 EPS/CS网络。 当 UE移动到新的 TA, 新 TA不 属于原 MME的 TA列表, UE需要执行 TA/LA更新流程, 并重新建立 SGs 安全联盟。
步骤 502, UE向目标 MME发起 TAU请求, 请求消息中携带更新类型 参数, 指示这是 TA/LA联合更新请求。
步骤 503 , EPS网络执行 TAU过程, 目标 MME从 HSS下载 UE的用户 签约数据, 并向 S-GW及 P-GW申请建立默认承载, UE从原 MME切换到目 标 MME。 步骤 504, 对于 MM上下文中有 VLR联盟信息, VLR联盟信息需要根 据新的 LA信息更新。 目标 MME向 VLR发起位置更新请求 , 携带信道 LAI , IMSI, MME的 IP地址, 位置更新类型。 位置更新类型指示这是一个正常的 位置更新过程。
步骤 505, VLR执行 CS域的位置更新过程。 若 CS网络认证失败, 如无 用户数据、 用户签约受限等原因, 会造成 CS位置更新失败。
步骤 506, VLR将位置更新失败消息返回给 MME。
步骤 507, MME发送附着成功消息给 UE,消息中只携带 EPS的相关参 数, 不携带 CS位置更新相关参数, UE可以判断 EPS附着成功但 CS附着不 成功, UE无法附着在 EPS网络实现语音业务。
步骤 508, UE判断是 "voice centric" 属性, 需要实现语音业务; 步骤 509, UE主动向 EPS网络发起注销请求,取消附着在 CS联合注册 失败的 EPS网络;
步骤 510 511 , EPS网络释放为 UE建立的资源, 并通过 UE注销成功。 步骤 512, UE需要尝试寻找其它的无线网络进行附着并联合注册, 若联 合注册不成功就重复步骤 501 ~ 511的流程, 直到寻找到可用的 CS网络。
如上所述, 在 UE设置为 "Voice Centric" 属性下, 若 TA/LA联合更新 失败且 EPS不支持 IMS会话时, UE可以位置更新到新的 EPS无线网络, 但 不能通过 IMS或 CS域发起 CS呼叫。 即使在 EPS位置更新成功, UE也需要 执行 EPS注销, 并尝试在其它 RAT网络注册。 此时的 EPS/CS多了一次注册 与注销过程, 占用了有限的网络资源;
UE还可能不断尝试到其它 E-UTRAN进行附着,就会消耗更多网络资源, 并且 UE在此期间并不能使用 CS业务,严重影响了用户的语音业务使用与用 户体验。 发明内容

下面结合附图及具体实施例对本发明进行详细说明。
实施例一
参见图 6, EPS网络不支持 IMS语音业务, UE需要通过 CS回落技术 釆用 CS网络实现语音业务。 当 UE发起联合注册请求后, 若 EPS网络在 CS 进行位置更新时失败, EPS网络需要判断 UE是否是语音中心属性的 UE, 若 是语音中心属性, 就直接拒绝 UE的附着请求, 并通知 UE不支持语音业务, UE向其它支持语音网络尝试连接。
本实施例一中 UE发起的 EPS和 CS附着流程包含如下步骤:
步骤 601 , UE向通过 E-UTRAN向 MME发起附着请求 , 在请求消息中 携带 "附着类型" 参数, 附着类型标识 UE请求的是 EPS/IMSI联合注册, 并 通知网络 UE可以使用 CS网络。

步骤 602, MME对 UE进行认证, 从 HSS下载 UE的签约数据, 并向 S-GW及 P-GW申请建立 EPS承载(默认承载 ) 。 MME可从请求消息中获取属性参数, 获知 UE为语音中心属性; 若请求 消息中没有携带, MME需要从 UE 的签约数据中获取属性参数, 判断所述 UE为语音中心属性;
进一步优化网络资源,本步骤申请建立 EPS承载的过程可以放在步骤 606 CS位置更新响应消息后面。 若 CS位置更新失败, 就不执行申请建立 EPS承 载的过程。
步骤 603 , MME分配一个本地配置的默认的 LAI, 并根据分配的 LAI 找到 VLR的号码, 然后向 MSC/VLR发起位置更新请求;
步骤 604 , MME发送位置更新请求给 VLR , 消息中包含新的 LAI , IMSI, MME的 IP地址, 位置更新类型等信息。
步骤 605 , VLR 与 MME之间建立起承载 SGs 口之上的安全联盟, VLR在 CS域执行位置更新过程。 因某种原因 CS域位置更新失败,如无用户 数据、 区域受限、 签约受限等因素, 可造成 CS位置更新失败。
步骤 606 , VLR向 MME返回位置更新失败消息。
步骤 607, MME收到 CS域位置更新失败消息后, 判断 UE的属性是否 是语音中心属性, 若 UE是语音中心属性, 就拒绝 UE的附着请求。
步骤 608, MME发送附着拒绝消息给 UE, 拒绝 UE的 EPS附着请求。 附着拒绝消息中进一步可以携带拒绝的原因: 现有 EPS无线网络不支持 语音业务。
更进一步, 附着拒绝请求消息中可以携带 MME上静态配置的其它支持 语音业务的无线网络的地址列表, 并下发给 UE。 UE可以根据支持语音业务 的无线网络地址发起附着请求。
步骤 609, UE尝试向其它支持语音业务的无线网络发起附着请求。
若拒绝消息中没有携带无线网络的地址列表, UE可直接向 2G或 3G无 线网络发起 CS附着。
实施例二 参见图 7, EPS网络不支持 IMS语音业务, UE需要通过 CS回落技术 釆用 CS网络实现语音业务。 当 UE位置改变并发起联合位置更新请求后, 若 EPS网络在 CS进行位置更新时失败, EPS网络需要判断 UE是否是语音中心 属性的 UE, 若是语音中心属性, 就直接拒绝 UE的联合位置更新请求, 并通 知 UE无线网络不支持语音业务, UE向其它支持语音网络尝试位置更新。
本实施例二中 UE发起的 TA/LA (跟踪区域 /位置区域)更新流程包含如下 步骤:
步骤 701 , UE发现移动到新的 TA, 新 TA不属于原 MME的 TA列表, UE需要执行 TA/LA更新流程, 并重新建立 SGs安全联盟。
步骤 702 , UE向目标 MME发起 TAU请求, 请求消息中携带更新类型 参数, 指示这是 TA/LA联合更新请求。
UE发起请求时可携带的属性参数,用于告知 EPS网络该 UE为语音中心 属性;
具体地 ,若 UE可以西己置支持 "voice centric"属'! "生,或者, "voice centric" 属性和 "data centric" 属性, UE在请求消息中将配置的 "voice centric" 属性 告知 MME。
UE也可以在签约数据中只配置一种属性, 如上网卡只有 "data centric" 属性。
步骤 703 , EPS网络执行 TAU过程, 目标 MME从 HSS下载 UE的签约 数据, 并向 S-GW及 P-GW申请建立 EPS承载(默认承载 ) , UE从原 MME 切换到目标 MME。
目标 MME可从请求消息中获取属性参数, 获知 UE为语音中心属性; 若请求消息中没有携带, 目标 MME需要从 UE的签约数据中获取属性参数, 判断所述 UE为语音中心属性
进一步优化网络资源, 本步骤申请建立 EPS承载并在原 MME与目标
MME之间进行承载切换的过程可以放在步骤 706 CS位置更新响应消息后 面。 若 CS位置更新失败, 就不执行建立 EPS承载及承载切换过程的过程。
步骤 704, 对于 MM上下文中有 VLR联盟信息, VLR联盟信息需要根 据新的 LA信息更新。 目标 MME向 VLR发起位置更新请求,携带新的 LAI , IMSI, MME的 IP地址,位置更新类型。 位置更新类型指示这是一个正常的 位置更新过程。
步骤 705, VLR执行 CS域的位置更新过程。 因某种原因 CS 域位置更 新失败, 如无用户数据、 区域受限、 签约受限等因素, 可造成 CS位置更新 失败。
步骤 706 , VLR向 MME返回位置更新失败消息。
步骤 707, 目标 MME收到 CS域位置更新失败消息后, 判断 UE的属性 是否是语音中心属性, 若 UE是语音中心属性, 就拒绝 UE的 TA/LA位置更 新请求。
步骤 708, MME发送位置更新拒绝消息给 UE, 拒绝 UE的 TA/LA位置 更新请求。 位置更新拒绝请求中进一步可以携带拒绝的原因: 更新的 EPS无线网络 不支持语音业务。
更进一步, 位置更新拒绝请求消息中可以携带 MME上静态配置的其它 支持语音业务的无线网络的地址列表, 并下发给 UE。 UE可以根据支持语音 业务的无线网络地址发起位置更新请求。
步骤 709, UE尝试向其它支持语音业务的无线网络发起位置更新请求。 因位置移动导致 UE在原 MME进行注销后, UE可直接向其它无线网络 发起附着请求。 若拒绝消息中没有携带无线网络的地址列表, UE可直接向 2G/3G无线网络发起 CS附着。
本发明为解决语音中心属性的 UE在发起联合注册 /联合位置更新失败的 问题, 优化网络资源配置, 缩短 UE附着到具有语音业务能力的无线网络的 时间, 本发明中 EPS网络可以判断 UE是否是语音中心属性, 当联合注册或 联合位置更新失败时,若 UE是语音中心属性,就直接拒绝 UE发起的 EPS/CS 联合注册请求或 TA/LA联合位置更新请求, 告知 UE现有无线网络不支持语 音业务, UE可直接向其它支持语音业务的无线网络发起业务请求。 综上所述, 利用本发明, 实现了用户在 EPS网络 /CS网络实现语音业务 的目的, 增强了用户的语音体验, 提高了用户的满意度。
尽管为示例目的, 已经公开了本发明的优选实施例, 本领域的技术人员 将意识到各种改进、 增加和取代也是可能的, 因此, 本发明的范围应当不限 于上述实施例。
