当LTE网络中的用户设备(user equipment,UE)在发起或者进行电路域(circuit switched,CS)业务时,可以从LTE网络回落到2G网络或者3G网络以继续完成CS业务的处理,这一技术也被称为电路域回落(circuit switched fallback,CSFB),它使得2G网络或者3G网络的网络设备能被重用为LTE网络中的UE提供传统的CS业务。UE可以选择多种方式从LTE网络回落到2G或者3G网络,例如,基于重定向方式,基于PS切换方式,或者基于单一无线语音通话连续性(single radio voice call continuity,SRVCC)切换方式等。
在LTE网络中,UE的服务小区发生切换时,需要UE和网络设备,例如,MME、eNodeB等进行多次信令交互,在现有技术中,如果UE在服务小区切换过程中,又发起语音业务触发网络设备,例如,MME,eNodeB等执行CSFB,网络设备将选择执行服务小区切换过程,导致UE发起的语音业务无法建立成功。

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,可以理解的是,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例中方法和装置可以通过网络设备来实现,网络设备包括不限于下述任一种或者多于一种共同实现,接入网控制设备以及核心网设备。这里接入网控制设备可以是演进基站eNodeB,无线网络控制器,或者基站等,核心网设备可以是移动性管理实体MME等。在本发明实施例中,对于网络设备而言,用户和用户设备具有相同的含义。
图1为本发明一实施例提供的电路域回落的方法的流程图,该方法可用于第一网络中的网络设备,如图所示,包括:
101:网络设备确定UE的服务小区切换过程结束。
UE处于连接态时,UE可以在不同小区间进行切换,从而改变服务小区,使得UE的位置发生改变。例如,UE在切换前源服务小区为第一小区,目的服务小区为第二小区,则切换完成后服务小区为第二小区。
在本发明的一个实施例中,网络设备可以为接入网控制设备,例如,eNodeB,该eNodeB管理第二小区。若UE的源服务小区为第一小区,第一小区也为该eNodeB管理,则切换完成后,eNodeB将接收到UE在第二小区发送的接入消息,例如,切换完成消息或者切换确认消息,eNodeB可以确定UE所在的服务小区切换过程结束。若第一小区为另一接入网控制设备管理,且两个eNodeB之间存在X2接口,则eNodeB在接收到UE在第二小区发送的接入消息后,还需要向MME发送路径切换请求消息指示用户面承载切换,eNodeB在接收到MME根据该路径切换请求消息发送的路径切换应答消息后,确定UE所在的服务小区切换过程结束。
在本发明的另一实施例中,网络设备也可以为核心网设备,例如,MME,MME可以通过多种方式确定UE的服务小区切换过程结束。例如,MME接
收到接入网控制设备,例如,eNodeB,发送的位置报告消息,其中位置报告消息中可以指示UE所在的位置标识,例如,小区标识,跟踪区标识等,MME根据接收到的位置报告消息中的UE所在的位置标识可以确定UE的服务小区切换过程结束。举例来说,若UE的源服务小区为第一小区,MME接收到的位置报告消息中指示UE所在的服务小区的小区标识为第二小区,也就是说该位置报告消息是由eNodeB在确定UE的服务小区切换到第二小区之后向MME发送的,这里第一小区和第二小区均为eNodeB管理的小区,则MME可以确定UE所在的服务小区改变过程结束,又例如,若位置报告消息中指示UE所在的跟踪区标识发生了改变,则网络设备可以确定UE的服务小区切换过程结束,需要说明的是,这些都只是举例,本发明实施例并不限于此。为了能及时获取到接入网控制设备发送的UE的位置报告,在本发明的一个实施例中,核心网设备可以向接入网控制设备发送位置订阅消息,订阅UE服务小区改变的信息,从而当UE的服务小区发生改变时,核心网设备将接收到接入网控制设备发送的位置报告消息。
又例如,UE的源服务小区为第一小区,核心网设备接收到服务网关发送的承载更新响应消息或者承载创建响应消息,其中,该承载更新响应消息或者承载创建响应消息是服务网关对核心网设备所发送的承载更新请求或者承载创建请求的响应消息,而该承载更新请求或者承载创建请求消息是由核心网设备接收到接入网控制设备发送的路径切换请求消息或者切换完成消息时向服务网关发送的,其中路径切换请求消息指示服务小区为第二小区,核心网设备可以根据该承载更新响应或者承载创建响应消息确定UE的服务小区切换过程结束。需要说明的是,上述均只是举例,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
102:网络设备确定在步骤101之前已确定需要将UE移动到第二网络,其中,第二网络为支持电路域业务的网络。
UE在第一网络中发起CS业务时,例如,发起语音业务主叫,或者作为
语音业务的被叫,将向核心网设备发送扩展业务请求消息,并在消息中指示需要进行主叫CSFB或者被叫CSFB业务。核心网设备接收到该扩展业务请求消息后,确定因为CSFB需要将UE移动到支持CS业务的第二网络中,向接入网控制设备发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,其中,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中可以包括电路域回落指示信息,用于指示接入网控制设备将UE移动到支持CS业务的第二网络中,也可以进一步包括基于SRVCC的增强电路域回落eCSFB操作可行指示信息用于指示接入网控制设备采用基于SRVCC方式进行CSFB操作,当然,为了便于接入网控制设备确定采用何种方式进行CSFB,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中还可以包括UE的空口能力信息。接入网控制设备根据核心网设备发送的UE上下文更新请求消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,确定需要将所述UE移动到第二网络。
UE的服务小区发生改变时,需要在核心网设备、接入网控制设备之间进行多次信令交互。UE可以在服务小区切换之前发起CS业务,也可以在服务小区切换的过程中发起CS业务。
以网络设备为接入网控制设备为例,如果在UE的服务小区切换过程结束之前接收到核心网设备发送的UE上下文更新请求消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,其中,UE上下文更新请求消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中包括电路域回落指示信息,用于指示接入网控制设备将UE移动至支持电路域的第二网络,接入网控制设备确定在步骤101之前已确定需要将UE移动到第二网络。
以网络设备为核心网设备为例,如果在UE的服务小区切换过程结束之前接收到UE的扩展业务请求消息请求建立CS业务,则该核心网设备确定在步骤101之前已确定需要将UE移动到第二网络中。
103:网络设备将UE移动到第二网络中。
网络设备可以通过多种方式将UE移动到第二网络中。
在本发明的一个实施例中,以网络设备为MME为例,MME向接入网控制设备,例如eNodeB发送UE上下文更新请求消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,并在上述消息中包括电路域回落指示信息,eNodeB将根据该电路域回落指示信息将UE移动到第二网络中。进一步地,在步骤103之前,若MME确定UE支持SRVCC切换,则MME还可以在UE上下文更新请求消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中包括基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息,使得eNodeB可以根据该指示信息采用基于SRVCC的CSFB将UE移动到第二网络中。当然,为了便于接入网控制设备确定采用何种方式进行CSFB,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中还可以包括UE的空口能力信息。其中,MME可以根据UE的附着请求或者跟踪区更新请求消息确定UE支持SRVCC切换,或者MME也可以获取到UE的标识信息,根据UE的标识信息确定UE支持SRVCC切换,其中UE的标识信息至少包括以下一种:国际移动台设备识别码IMEI和国际移动用户识别码IMSI。需要说明的是,上述均只是举例,本发明实施例并以此为限制。
在本发明的一个实施例中,以网络设备为eNodeB为例,eNodeB可以向UE发送无线资源控制连接释放消息,通过在无线资源控制连接释放消息中携带不同的指示信息CSFB信息触发基于重定向的CSFB或者基于异系统小区改变的CSFB,从而将UE移动到支持CS业务的第二网络中,或者eNodeB也可以向核心网设备,例如,MME,发送切换请求消息,通过在切换请求消息中携带不同的CSFB信息触发基于分组业务切换的CSFB或者基于SRVCC的eCSFB。
在本发明实施例中,第一网络可以是LTE网络,则接入网控制设备为eNodeB,核心网设备为MME,相应地,第二网络可以是GSM网络或者WCDMA网络。需要说明的是,以上仅是举例,本发明实施例并不限于此。
通过本发明实施例的方法,当UE发起CS业务触发的CSFB和UE的服务小区切换过程发生冲突时,网络设备可以在处理完UE的服务小区切换过
程后将UE移动到支持CS业务的网络中,使得UE的CS业务能继续执行,从而提高了CS业务建立的成功率。
图2为本发明另一实施例提供的电路域回落的方法的流程图,为了方便描述,在本发明实施例中以第一网络为LTE网络,网络设备为eNodeB,第二网络为第3代网络,例如,WCDMA网络为例,可以理解的是,本发明并不限于此。如图所示,包括:
201:UE在第一小区向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。
当UE处于空闲状态并且驻留在第一小区,如果UE需要发起CS业务,例如,UE需要发起语音业务主叫或者UE作为语音业务的被叫,UE将在第一小区经由eNodeB建立连接,并且向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。
当UE已经处于连接态并且源服务小区为eNodeB管理下的第一小区,如果UE需要发起CS业务,例如,UE发起语音业务主叫或者UE作为语音业务的被叫,UE将在第一小区经由eNodeB向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。
202:UE在第一小区向eNodeB发送测量报告消息。
由于UE会持续对第一小区以及第一小区的邻区进行测量,UE将在第一小区向eNodeB发送测量报告消息,该测量报告消息可以包括第一小区的邻区的信号质量信息,例如,该eNodeB管理下的第二小区的信号质量信息。
203:eNodeB向UE发送切换命令消息指示UE切换到第二小区。
eNodeB可以根据步骤202中接收到的测量报告消息判决UE切换到第二小区,例如,第二小区的信号质量高于预设切换门限,又例如,第二小区的信号质量优于第一小区的信号质量,eNodeB判决UE切换到第二小区,向UE发送切换命令消息指示UE切换到第二小区。需要说明的是上述均只是为了方面描述进行举例,本发明实施例并不限于此。
需要说明的是,步骤201也可以在步骤202或步骤203之后,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
204:eNodeB接收到MME发送的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息。
MME根据步骤201中接收到的扩展业务请求消息触发CSFB将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。eNodeB将接收到MME发送的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,其中,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中包括电路域回落指示信息,从而使得eNodeB可以根据该UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息确定需要将UE移动到第二网络。
进一步地,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中还可以包括支持基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息,从而eNodeB可以根据支持基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息确定需要采用基于SRVCC切换方式将UE移动到第二网络。当然,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立消息中还可以包括UE的空口能力信息,使得eNodeB可以根据这些信息确定采用合适的方式将UE移动到第二网络。
由于此时eNodeB和UE仍处于切换过程中,eNodeB无法立即处理UE的电路域回落,eNodeB可以将UE需要进行电路域回落的信息进行记录,例如,eNodeB可以缓存接收到的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,又例如,eNodeB也可以缓存包括不限于下述信息:电路域回落操作状态,所支持的电路域回落指示信息,UE的上下文等,需要说明的是,此处仅是举例,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
205:eNodeB接收到UE在第二小区发送的切换完成消息或者切换确认消息。
由于步骤202,203中eNodeB和UE已经处于切换过程中,UE完成服务小区切换后,将在第二小区发送切换完成消息或者切换确认消息,eNodeB根据接收到的UE在第二小区发送的切换完成消息或切换确认消息后,确定UE的服务小区由第一小区改变为第二小区。
206:eNodeB向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
eNodeB根据步骤204中确定需要将UE移动到第二网络,向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息,用于通知MME UE的上下文更新成功或者建立成功。例如,eNodeB在步骤204中接收到MME发送的UE上下文更新消息,则eNodeB可以向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息,又例如,eNodeB在步骤204中接收到MME发送的初始UE上下文建立请求消息,则eNodeB可以向MME发送初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
需要说明的是,步骤206可以在205之前完成,也可以在步骤205之后完成,本发明实施例并不做限制。在步骤205之后完成时,由于eNodeB已经记录了UE需要进行电路域回落的信息,因此eNodeB可以根据记录的UE需要进行电路域回落的信息向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
207:eNodeB向MME发送切换请求消息。
由于在步骤204中确定了需要将UE移动到第二网络,eNodeB将UE需要进行电路域回落的信息进行记录,从而在步骤205之后,eNodeB根据该信息向MME发起切换请求消息,触发UE基于分组切换的CSFB或者基于SRVCC的CSFB,从而将UE移动到第二网络中。UE移动到第二网络后,将在支持CS业务的第二网络发起并执行CS业务。
当然,在步骤207中,eNodeB也可以采用其他方式触发UE的CSFB流程将UE移动到第二网络中。前述方法步骤103中已经进行过描述,此处不再赘述。
通过本发明实施例的方法,当UE发起CS业务触发的CSFB和UE的服务小区切换过程发生冲突时,eNodeB可以在处理完UE的服务小区切换过程后,将UE移动到支持CS业务的网络中,使得UE的CS业务能继续执行,
从而提高了CS业务建立的成功率。
图3为本发明另一实施例提供的电路域回落的方法的流程图,为了方便描述,在本发明实施例中仍以第一网络为LTE网络,网络设备为eNodeB1和eNodeB2,第二网络为第3代网络,例如,WCDMA网络为例,可以理解的是,本发明并不限于此。如图所示,包括:
301:eNodeB2接收到UE在第二小区发送的切换完成消息或者切换确认消息。
当UE从eNodeB1管理的第一小区向eNodeB2管理的第二小区切换时,其中eNodeB1和eNodeB2之间存在X2接口,eNodeB1将发起X2接口切换过程。UE完成服务小区切换后,将在eNodeB2管理的第二小区向eNodeB2发送切换完成消息或者切换确认消息。
302:eNodeB2向MME发送路径切换请求消息。
由于X2接口发生切换,因此eNodeB2将向MME发送路径切换请求消息指示切换用户面承载。
303:UE在第二小区向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。
若UE需要发起CS业务,例如,UE发起语音业务主叫或者UE作为语音业务的被叫,UE将在第二小区经由eNodeB2向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。
304:eNodeB2接收到MME发送的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息。
MME根据步骤303中接收到的扩展业务请求消息触发CSFB将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。eNodeB2将接收到MME发送的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,其中,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中包括电路域回落指示信息,从而使得eNodeB2可以根据电路域回落指示信息确定需要将UE移动到第二网络。
进一步地,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中还可
以包括支持基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息,从而eNodeB2可以根据支持基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息确定需要采用基于SRVCC切换方式将UE移动到第二网络。当然,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立消息中还可以包括UE的空口能力信息,使得eNodeB可以根据这些信息确定采用合适的方式将UE移动到第二网络。
由于此时eNodeB2仍处于切换过程中,eNodeB2无法立即处理UE的电路域回落,eNodeB2可以将UE需要进行电路域回落的信息进行记录,例如,eNodeB2可以缓存接收到的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,又例如,eNodeB2也可以缓存包括不限于下述信息:电路域回落操作状态,所支持的电路域回落指示信息,UE的上下文等,需要说明的是,此处仅是举例,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
305:eNodeB2接收到MME发送的路径切换应答消息。
eNodeB2在接收到MME根据步骤301中的路径切换请求消息所发送的路径切换应答消息后,确定UE所在的服务小区改变过程结束。
306:eNodeB2向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
eNodeB2根据步骤304中确定需要将UE移动到第二网络,向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息,用于通知MME UE的上下文更新成功或者建立成功。例如,eNodeB2在步骤304中接收到MME发送的UE上下文更新消息,则eNodeB2可以向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息,又例如,eNodeB2在步骤304中接收到MME发送的初始UE上下文建立请求消息,则eNodeB2可以向MME发送初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
需要说明的是,步骤306可以在305之前完成,也可以在步骤305之后完成,本发明实施例并不做限制。在步骤305之后完成时,由于eNodeB2已经记录了UE需要进行电路域回落的信息,因此eNodeB2可以根据记录的
UE需要进行电路域回落的信息向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
307:eNodeB2向UE发送无线控制连接释放消息。
由于在步骤304中确定了需要将UE移动到第二网络,eNodeB2将UE需要进行电路域回落的信息进行记录,从而在步骤305之后,eNodeB2根据该信息向UE发送无线控制连接释放消息,通过在无线资源控制连接释放消息中携带不同的CSFB信息指示采用基于重定向的CSFB或者基于异系统小区改变的CSFB,从而将UE移动到支持CS业务的第二网络中。UE移动到第二网络后,将在支持CS业务的第二网络发起并执行CS业务。
当然,在步骤307中,eNodeB也可以采用其他方式触发UE的CSFB流程将UE移动到第二网络中。前述方法步骤103中已经进行过描述,此处不再赘述。
通过本发明实施例的方法,当UE发起CS业务触发的CSFB和UE的服务小区切换过程发生冲突时,eNodeB可以在处理完UE的服务小区切换过程后,将UE移动到支持CS业务的网络中,使得UE的CS业务能继续执行,从而提高了CS业务建立的成功率。
图4为本发明另一实施例提供的电路域回落的方法的流程图,为了方便描述,在本发明实施例中仍以第一网络为LTE网络,网络设备为MME,第二网络为第3代网络,例如,WCDMA网络为例,可以理解的是,本发明并不限于此。如图所示,包括:
401:UE在第一小区向MME发送扩展业务请求消息。
402:UE在第一小区向eNodeB发送测量报告消息。
403:eNodeB向UE发送切换命令消息指示UE切换到第二小区。
需要说明的是,步骤401~403也可参见步骤201~203,步骤401也可以在步骤402或步骤403之后,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
404:MME向eNodeB发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息。
MME可以根据步骤401中接收到的扩展业务请求消息触发CSFB将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。MME确定需要将UE移动到WCDMA网络中,将向eNodeB发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,其中,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中包括电路域回落指示信息,从而使得eNodeB可以根据电路域回落指示信息确定需要将UE移动到第二网络。
进一步地,MME可以采用多种方式获取UE支持SRVCC切换能力指示信息,从而可以在UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息中包括支持基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息,使得eNodeB可以根据支持基于SRVCC的eCSFB操作可行指示信息确定需要采用基于SRVCC切换方式将UE移动到第二网络。当然,UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立消息中还可以包括UE的空口能力信息,使得eNodeB可以根据这些信息确定采用合适的方式将UE移动到第二网络。
例如,UE发送附着请求消息或者跟踪区更新消息时将携带UE支持SRVCC切换能力的指示信息,在本发明的一个实施例中,MME可以根据UE的附着请求消息或者跟踪区更新消息获取该UE支持SRVCC切换能力的指示信息。又例如,可以保存UE的标识信息和支持SRVCC切换能力的对应关系,其中,UE的标识信息至少包括以下一种:UE的国际移动台设备识别码IMEI或者UE的国际移动用户识别码IMSI。MME可以获取UE的标识信息,并根据UE的标识信息获取该UE支持SRVCC切换能力的指示信息。需要说明的是,这里都只是举例说明,本发明并不限于此。
405:MME向eNodeB发送位置报告控制消息。
MME可以向eNodeB发送位置订阅消息订阅UE服务小区改变的信息。例如,MME向eNodeB发送位置报告控制消息,指示eNodeB在UE的服务
小区变为该eNodeB下的另一个小区时上报UE的位置信息。需要说明的是,步骤405并不限于在404之后执行,MME也可以在401之前发送位置报告控制消息,也可以在401~404之间任一时刻发送位置报告控制消息,本发明实施例并不限于此。
406:eNodeB接收到UE在第二小区发送的切换完成消息或者切换确认消息。
407:eNodeB向MME发送位置报告。
由于eNodeB处于切换过程中,eNodeB无法处理步骤404中接收到的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息。eNodeB在步骤406中确定UE的服务小区为第二小区后,将向MME发送位置报告,并且在位置报告消息中携带UE当前服务小区,也就是第二小区的小区标识。
408:MME向eNodeB发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息。
MME接收到eNodeB发送的位置报告消息,由于位置报告消息中指示了UE的服务小区为第二小区,MME确定UE的服务小区已经由第一小区改变为第二小区。进一步地,由于UE的服务小区仍在LTE网络中,MME可以确定步骤404中将UE移动到WCDMA网络的操作并未成功,MME仍需要将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。
MME通过向eNodeB发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。这里MME发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息可以参见步骤404,此处不再赘述。
409:eNodeB向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
eNodeB向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息,用于通知MME UE的上下文更新成功或者建立成功。
410:eNodeB向MME发送切换请求消息。
eNodeB根据步骤408接收到的UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息确定采用基于分组切换的CSFB或者基于SRVCC的CSFB将UE移动到第二网络中。eNodeB向MME发起切换请求消息,通过相应的CSFB信息指示采用基于分组切换的CSFB或者基于SRVCC的CSFB。
当然,在步骤410中,eNodeB也可以采用其他方式触发UE的CSFB流程将UE移动到第二网络中。前述方法步骤103中已经进行过描述,此处不再赘述。
而在步骤402~407之间,由于eNodeB和MME仍在处理UE的服务小区切换过程,MME无法立即处理UE的电路域回落,MME可以将UE需要进行电路域回落的信息进行记录,例如,MME可以缓存接收到的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,又例如,MME也可以缓存包括不限于下述信息:电路域回落操作状态,所支持的电路域回落指示信息,UE的上下文等,需要说明的是,此处仅是举例,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
通过本发明实施例的方法,当UE发起CS业务触发的CSFB和UE的服务小区切换过程发生冲突时,MME可以在处理完UE的服务小区切换过程后,将UE移动到支持CS业务的网络中,使得UE的CS业务能继续执行,从而提高了CS业务建立的成功率。
图5为本发明另一实施例提供的电路域回落的方法的流程图,为了方便描述,在本发明实施例中仍以第一网络为LTE网络,网络设备为MME,第二网络为第3代网络,例如,WCDMA网络为例,可以理解的是,本发明并不限于此。本发明实施例和图4所示的实施例区别在于,UE的服务小区从eNodeB1管理的第一小区改变为eNodeB2管理的第二小区。由于X2接口发生切换,因此eNodeB2将向MME发送路径切换请求消息指示切换用户面承载。步骤501~504可参见步骤401~404,此处不再赘述。
505:eNodeB2接收到UE在第二小区发送的切换完成消息或者切换确认消息。
506:MME接收到eNodeB2发送的路径切换请求消息指示切换用户面承载。
eNodeB2接收到UE在第二小区发送的切换完成消息或者切换确认消息后,由于发生了X2接口切换,将向MME发送路径切换请求消息。
MME接收到eNodeB2发送的路径切换请求消息指示切换用户面承载,其中路径切换请求消息包括了UE新的位置信息,例如跟踪区标识或者服务小区标识。MME根据路径切换请求消息确定UE的位置正在改变。
507:MME向服务网关发送承载更新请求或者承载创建请求消息。
MME根据步骤506中接收到的路径切换请求消息向服务网关发送承载更新请求或者承载创建请求消息。
508:MME接收到服务网关发送的承载更新响应或者承载创建响应消息。
服务网关根据步骤507接收到的承载更新请求或者承载创建请求消息发送承载更新响应或者承载创建响应消息。MME接收到该承载更新响应或者承载创建响应消息后,确认UE的服务小区切换过程结束。
509:MME向eNodeB2发送路径切换应答消息。
510:MME向eNodeB2发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息。
由于UE的服务小区仍在LTE网络中,MME可以确定步骤504中将UE移动到WCDMA网络的操作并未成功,MME仍需要将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。
MME通过向eNodeB2发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息将UE移动到WCDMA网络中。这里MME发送UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息可以参见步骤504,此处不再赘述。
511:eNodeB2向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息。
eNodeB2向MME发送UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立
响应消息,用于通知MME UE的上下文更新成功或者建立成功。
512:eNodeB2向MME发送切换请求消息。
eNodeB2根据步骤510接收到的UE上下文更新响应消息或者初始UE上下文建立响应消息确定采用基于分组切换的CSFB或者基于SRVCC的CSFB将UE移动到第二网络中。eNodeB2向MME发起切换请求消息,通过相应的CSFB信息采用基于分组切换的CSFB或者基于SRVCC的CSFB。
当然,在步骤512中,eNodeB2也可以采用其他方式触发UE的CSFB流程将UE移动到第二网络中。前述方法步骤103中已经进行过描述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是步骤501也可以在步骤502-507之后,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
而在步骤502~507之间,由于eNodeB和MME仍在处理UE的服务小区切换过程,MME无法立即处理UE的电路域回落,MME可以将UE需要进行电路域回落的信息进行记录,例如,MME可以缓存接收到的UE上下文更新消息或者初始UE上下文建立请求消息,又例如,MME也可以缓存包括不限于下述信息:电路域回落操作状态,所支持的电路域回落指示信息,UE的上下文等,需要说明的是,此处仅是举例,本发明实施例并不以此为限制。
通过本发明实施例的方法,当UE发起CS业务触发的CSFB和UE的服务小区切换过程发生冲突时,MME可以在处理完UE的服务小区切换过程后,将UE移动到支持CS业务的网络中,使得UE的CS业务能继续执行,从而提高了CS业务建立的成功率。
