Abstract

A method of operating a terminal in a wireless communication system may include receiving a paging message including information indicating a range of a threshold for determining whether to perform fallback for a call service from a first base station belonging to a first network, transmitting a request message requesting the fallback for the call service to the base station based on channel quality of the first base station being less than the threshold determined based on the information and transmitting a paging response message to a second base station belonging to a second network.

Claims (38)

1 . A method of operating a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

camping on a first base station belonging to a first network;

receiving a first message including information related to fallback for a call service from the first base station;

transmitting a second message requesting the fallback for the call service to the first base station based on channel quality of the first base station being less than a threshold determined based on the information; and

transmitting a third message to a second base station belonging to a second network,

wherein the information related the fallback comprises information related to a range of the threshold for determining whether to perform the fallback for the call service.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving configuration information related to recording of measurement values of channel quality from the first base station.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

recording measurement values of channel quality of the first base station.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

determining the threshold based on the measurement values and the range.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining the threshold comprises, determining the threshold using a Bayesian optimization (BO) technique using an observation including a paging success probability per threshold used in the past and an object function set based on the measurement values and the range.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein a Gaussian process is used as a surrogate function for the BO technique, and

wherein an expected improvement (EI) is used as an acquisition function for the BO technique.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a fourth message to the first base station without the fallback, in case that the channel quality of the first base station is greater than or equal to the threshold.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

recording whether paging of the threshold is successful based on whether to maintain the call service in the first network.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the call service provided by the first network comprises a call service in which text data generated from voice data and assistance data representing acoustic characteristics of the voice data are transmitted and received.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the assistance data is transmitted based on a bitrate determined according to channel quality between the first base station and the terminal, and

wherein the text data is transmitted based on a fixed bitrate.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the assistance data includes a style embedding vector representing at least one of a pitch, stress or speed of the voice data.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, from the first base station, information related to a network model for inferring voice data based on the text data and the assistance data.

13 . A method of operating a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first message indicating that a terminated call has occurred from an upper node to a terminal;

transmitting, to the terminal, a second message including information indicating a range of a threshold for determining whether to perform fallback of a call service; and

receiving, from the terminal, a third message requesting the fallback or a paging response message corresponding to the second message.

14 . A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

camp on a first base station belonging to a first network;

receive a first message including information related to fallback for a call service from the first base station belonging to the first network;

transmit a second message requesting the fallback for the call service to the first base station based on channel quality of the first base station being less than a threshold determined based on the information; and

transmit a third response message to a second base station belonging to a second network,

wherein the information related the fallback comprises information related to a range of the threshold for determining whether to perform the fallback for the call service.
