Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and a communication terminal for implementing a voice service through a wireless network. The method includes: generating a request for a voice service according to a voice service access code and generating a trigger signal according to the request; setting up a connection with the wireless network according to the trigger signal; performing network registration for the voice service; and processing a call of the voice service through the network connection after the network registration is successful. The technical solution of the present invention overcomes the conflict between Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and dial-on-demand when VoIP traffic is carried over a Packet Switched (PS) network, so that no radio bandwidth is wasted and that the user can use VoIP at any time with no need to modify the network.

Claims (31)

1. A method for a communication terminal implementing a voice service through a wireless network, wherein the communication terminal has a dial-on-demand function; the method comprising:

determining that dial-on-demand is enabled and the communication terminal is disconnected with the wireless network;

acquiring an operation on the communication terminal;

generating a request for a voice service according to the operation on the communication terminal and generating a trigger signal according to the request;

setting up a network connection with the wireless network according to the trigger signal;

performing network registration for the voice service; and

processing a call of the voice service through the network connection after the network registration is successful.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the request for a voice service according to the operation on the communication terminal comprises:

generating the request according to a service access code.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the request for a voice service according to the operation on the communication terminal comprises:

generating the request according to a signal of the operation on the communication terminal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the request for a voice service according to the operation on the communication terminal comprises:

generating the request according to digits dialed from the communication terminal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein after the setting up the network connection with the wireless network, the method further comprises:

requesting a transfer of an incoming call of a voice service to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) number of the communication terminal or a telecommunications network number of the communication terminal.

6. The method of claim 5 , after the transfer of the incoming call of the voice service to the PSTN number the communication terminal or the telecommunications network number of the communication terminal, the method further comprising:

requesting a server to cancel the transfer of the incoming call of the voice service transfer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein after the processing a call of the voice service through the network connection, the method further comprises:

when it is determined that there is no data service within a period of time, enabling the dial-on-demand function.

8. A communication terminal for implementing a voice service through a wireless network, wherein the communication terminal has a dial-on-demand function;

the communication terminal comprising:

a determining unit, configured to determine that the dial-on-demand is enabled and the communication terminal is disconnected with the wireless network;

an acquiring unit, configured to acquire an operation on the communication terminal;

a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) unit, configured to generate a request for a voice service according to the operation on the communication terminal;

a triggering logic unit, configured to generate a trigger signal according to the request;

a dial-on-demand unit, configured to set up a network connection with the wireless network according to the trigger signal; and

a voice service unit, configured to request network registration and process a call of the voice service through the network connection after the network registration is successful.

9. The communication terminal of claim 8 , wherein the POTS unit comprises:

a terminal call transferring unit, configured to send a call transfer operation code after the network connection is set up, wherein the call transfer operation code is used to request the transfer of an incoming call of a voice service to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) number of the communication terminal or a telecommunications network number of the communication terminal.

10. The communication terminal of claim 8 , wherein the POTS unit further comprises:

a terminal call transfer canceling unit, configured to send a call transfer cancellation operation code to a server after the incoming call of the voice service is transferred.
