Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a related apparatus, and a system for recovering a called service of a terminal. The method includes: when a called request of a user terminal is received, querying an initial proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) entity with which the user terminal currently registers; if it is detected that the initial P-CSCF is faulty, selecting an available P-CSCF and sending, to the available P-CSCF, a notification message that carries a redundancy identifier, where the redundancy identifier is used to instruct the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-register with the P-CSCF; and when a registration complete message sent by the P-CSCF with which the user terminal re-registers is received, delivering the called request to the re-registered P-CSCF to bear a called service of the user terminal.

Claims (42)

1. A method for recovering a called service of a terminal performed by a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), the method comprising:

receiving a called request of the user terminal;

querying an initial proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) entity with which the user terminal currently registers;

detecting that the initial P-CSCF is faulty;

selecting an available P-CSCF;

notifying the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-initiate IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration, wherein the available P-CSCF triggers, by using a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) entity, the user terminal to re-initiate IMS registration; and

delivering the called request to a re-registered P-CSCF to bear the called service of the user terminal after the user terminal completes the IMS registration.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein notifying the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-initiate IMS registration comprises:

sending, to the available P-CSCF, a notification message that carries a redundancy identifier, wherein the redundancy identifier is used to instruct the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-initiate the IMS registration.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein notifying the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-initiate IMS registration comprises:

sending the called request of the user terminal to the available P-CSCF; and

when the available P-CSCF determines that no registration data of a called user is stored, triggering the user terminal to re-initiate the IMS registration.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the selecting an available P-CSCF, the method further comprises:

configuring a first identifier and a second identifier for the initial P-CSCF, wherein the first identifier comprises an internet protocol (IP) address of the initial P-CSCF, and the second identifier comprises an IP address of a P-CSCF except the initial P-CSCF.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein configuring the first identifier and the second identifier for the initial P-CSCF comprises:

configuring, on a domain name system (DNS) server, the first identifier and the second identifier according to a host name of the initial P-CSCF.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein selecting the available P-CSCF and notifying the available P-CSCF, if it is detected that the initial P-CSCF is faulty comprises:

acquiring the first identifier and the second identifier that are configured for the initial P-CSCF;

if it is detected, according to the acquired first identifier, that the initial P-CSCF corresponding to the first identifier is faulty, using a P-CSCF corresponding to the second identifier as the available P-CSCF; and

sending a notification message to the available P-CSCF according to the second identifier.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein delivering the called request to the re-registered P-CSCF to bear the called service of the user terminal comprises:

sending the called request to the re-registered P-CSCF, so that the re-registered P-CSCF sends the called request to the user terminal to perform the called service.

8. An apparatus for recovering a called service of a terminal, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer executable instructions stored thereon, such that when the processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to:

receive a called request of the user terminal;

query an initial proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) entity with which the user terminal currently registers;

detect that the initial P-CSCF is faulty;

select an available P-CSCF and notify the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-initiate IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration, wherein the available P-CSCF triggers, by using a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) entity, the user terminal to re-initiate IMS registration; and

deliver the called request to a re-registered P-CSCF to bear the called service of the user terminal after the user terminal completes the IMS registration.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

after selecting the available P-CSCF, send, to the available P-CSCF, a notification message that carries a redundancy identifier, wherein the redundancy identifier is used to instruct the available P-CSCF to trigger the user terminal to re-initiate the IMS registration.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

after selecting the available P-CSCF, send the called request of the user terminal to the available P-CSCF, so as to trigger, when the available P-CSCF determines that no registration data of a called user is stored, the user terminal to re-initiate the IMS registration.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

configure a first identifier and a second identifier for the initial P-CSCF, wherein the first identifier comprises an internet protocol (IP) address of the initial P-CSCF, and the second identifier comprises an IP address of a P-CSCF except the initial P-CSCF.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

configure, on a domain name system (DNS) server, the first identifier and the second identifier according to a host name of the initial P-CSCF.

13. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire the first identifier and the second identifier that are configured for the initial P-CSCF;

if, according to the acquired first identifier, the initial P-CSCF corresponding to the first identifier is faulty, use a P-CSCF corresponding to the second identifier as the available P-CSCF; and

send a notification message to the available P-CSCF according to the second identifier.

14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

send the called request to the re-registered P-CSCF, so that the re-registered P-CSCF sends the called request to the user terminal to perform the called service.
