Method, device and system of handover

1. A method of handover for a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, by an evolved NodeB (eNB), in a first network, a measurement parameter from the UE; wherein the first network is a packet switched (PS) domain network;

analyzing, by the eNB, that whether a neighbor cell belongs to a circuit switched (CS) domain, and judging whether the neighbor cell has CS capability according to the measurement parameter reported from the UE;

determining, by the eNB, the relocation is a PS domain-CS domain relocation if the neighbor cell belongs to the CS domain and the neighbor cell has the CS capability;

sending, by the eNB, a relocation request to a target mobility management entity, MME, in the PS domain network, so as to enable the MME sends a relocation command to an evolved mobile switching centre (eMSC);

wherein the relocation request carries a relocation cause value, a target cell list and a context ID of a bearer that needs to be forwarded to a peer entity, and the relocation cause value indicates that the relocation is a PS domain-CS domain relocation.

2. The method according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:

sending, by the eMSC, a prepare handover request to a second network to request the second network to establish a media stream association of the second network, wherein the second network is the CS domain network; and

instructing, by the eMSC, the UE to access the second network.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement parameter comprises at least one of dual transfer mode (DTM) switching support information, network load information and cell feature indication.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before the forwarding, by the core network entity in the first network, the relocation request to the eMSC, the method further comprises:

requesting, by the MME, a home subscriber server (HSS) to provide address of the eMSC;

discovering, by the MME, the eMSC according to network planning and operator's policy;

discovering, by the MME, the eMSC according to mapping relationship between the MME and the eMSC; or

discovering, by the MME, the eMSC according to a traditional location area (TA).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending a prepare handover request to a second network, comprises:

sending, by the eMSC, the prepare handover request to a target MSC in the second network;

wherein establishing, by the second network, a media stream association of the second network, comprises:

establishing, by the target MSC, a media stream association between the target MSC and a base station sub-system, BSS, in the second network;

wherein after establishing, by the target MSC, a media stream association between the target MSC and a BSS in the second network, the method further comprises:

sending, by the target MSC, a Iu relocation request to the BSS to reserve radio resource.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the instructing, by the eMSC, a user equipment, UE, to access the second network, comprises:

sending, by the eMSC, a handover command via the first network to the UE; and connecting, by the UE, to the BSS in the second network, and accessing the second network via the BSS;

wherein, the sending, by the eMSC, a handover command via the first network to the UE, comprises:

forwarding, by the eMSC, to the MME a relocation response, that the relocation response carries radio parameter configuration of the UE used in the CS domain;

forwarding, by the MME, the relocation response to the eNB; and

sending, by the eNB, the handover command to the UE that the handover command carries the radio parameter configuration for the UE to connect the BSS.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after instructing, by the eMSC, a UE to access the second network, the method further comprises:

forwarding, by the eMSC, a relocation complete message to an MME; and initiating, by the MME, a modification process of a PS domain media plane bearer;

wherein the initiating, by the MME, a modification process of a PS domain media plane bearers, comprises:

initiating, by the MME, the bearer modification process, and setting the parameter of the bearer to 0; or

sending, by the MME, a bear reservation instruction to a serving gateway (S-GW) or a packet data network gateway (P-GW) to reserve related bearers, and notifying a policy and charging control (PCC) system to adjust PCC policy.

8. An evolved NodeB (eNB) of a first network, comprising:

a receiver, configured to receive a measurement parameter from the UE; wherein the first network is a packet switched (PS) domain network;

a processor, configured to analyze whether a neighbor cell belongs to a circuit switched (CS) domain, judge whether the neighbor cell has CS capability according to the measurement parameter reported from the UE, and determine the relocation is a PS domain-CS domain relocation if the neighbor cell belongs to the CS domain and the neighbor cell has the CS capability;

a transmitter, configured to send a relocation request to a target mobility management entity, MME, in the PS domain network, so as to enable the MME sends a relocation command to an evolved mobile switching centre (eMSC);

wherein the relocation request carries a relocation cause value, a target cell list and a context ID of a bearer that needs to be forwarded to a peer entity, and the relocation cause value indicates that the relocation is a PS domain-CS domain relocation.

9. The eNB according to claim 8 , wherein the measurement parameter comprises at least one of dual transfer mode (DTM) switching support information, network load information and cell feature indication.
