Method, device, and system for transferring service control signalling path
View Patent ↗A method, device, and system for transferring a Service Control Signalling Path are provided. The method for transferring a Service Control Signalling Path includes: establishing a connection with an opposite end by a User Equipment (UE), where the UE uses a Circuit Switched (CS) bearer in a CS network and a Service Control Signalling Path in a first Packet Switched (PS) network; sending a transfer request via a second PS network, to instruct a network side to transfer the Service Control Signalling Path according to the transfer request. Thus, the UE can replace a current Gm reference point with a Gm reference point of a new and available PS network when the PS network where the current Gm reference point is located is unavailable, so as to ensure smooth data transmission.
1. A method for transferring a Service Control Signalling Path, comprising:
establishing, by User Equipment (UE), a connection with an opposite end, wherein the UE uses a Circuit Switched (CS) bearer in a CS network and a Service Control Signalling Path in a first Packet Switched (PS) network; and
sending a transfer request via a second PS network to instruct a network side to transfer the Service Control Signalling Path according to the transfer request;
wherein the transfer request carries Service Control Signalling Path information of the first PS network and indication information for establishing a Service Control Signalling Path;
wherein the Service Control Signalling Path information of the first PS network comprises: a Session identity (Session ID) of the Service Control Signalling Path of the first PS network, and the Session ID comprises a Call-ID header field, a From tag header field and a To tag header field.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending the transfer request via the second PS network comprises:
sending the transfer request via the second PS network when the first PS network is unavailable.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a Replaces header field is set in the transfer request, and the Service Control Signalling Path information of the first PS network is set in the header field.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information for establishing the Service Control Signalling Path is information indicating that the bearer is in the CS network.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Service Control Signalling Path in the second PS is associated with the CS bearer of the UE after the network side transfers the Service Control Signalling Path according to the transfer request.
6. A method for transferring a Service Control Signalling Path, comprising:
receiving a transfer request sent by User Equipment (UE) via a second Packet Switched (PS) network, wherein the UE uses a Circuit Switched (CS) bearer in a CS network and a Service Control Signalling Path in a first PS network; and
transferring the Service Control Signalling Path according to the transfer request;
wherein the transfer request carries Service Control Signalling Path information of the first PS network and indication information for establishing a Service Control Signalling Path;
wherein the Service Control Signalling Path information of the first PS network comprises: a Session identity (Session ID) of the Service Control Signalling Path of the first PS network, and the Session ID comprises a Call-ID header field, a From tag header field and a To tag header field.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a Replaces header field is set in the transfer request, and the Service Control Signalling Path information of the first PS network is set in the header field.
8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the indication information is information indicating that the bearer is in the CS network.
9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein after transferring the Service Control Signalling Path according to the transfer request, associating the Service Control Signalling Path in the second PS with the CS bearer of the UE.
