Abstract

A method for establishing a communication connection includes sending a first packet data network (PDN) connection request message to a network side for internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) registration; repeatedly sending the first PDN connection request message for the IMS registration when the IMS registration fails; and sending a second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration when a number of times the IMS registration fails reaches a predetermined number. The second PDN connection request message and the first PDN connection request message include different PDN types.

Claims (34)

1. A method for establishing a communication connection, comprising:

sending a first packet data network (PDN) connection request message to a network side for Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) registration;

repeatedly sending the first PDN connection request message for the IMS registration when the IMS registration fails; and

sending a second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration when a number of times the IMS registration fails reaches a predetermined number,

wherein the second PDN connection request message and the first PDN connection request message contain different PDN types.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein it is determined that the IMS registration fails when a response message not carrying an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the first PDN connection request message is received from the network side.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDN type contained in the first PDN connection request message is an Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) single stack, and the PDN type contained in the second PDN connection request message is an IPv4v6 dual stack.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: initializing a counter for counting a number of times the IMS registration fails when sending the second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PDN connection request message and the second PDN connection request message each further comprise access point (APN) type information indicating the IMS registration.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a period of time between processes of repeatedly sending the first PDN connection request message is the same for two consecutive times.

7. An electronic apparatus capable of establishing a communication connection, comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with a network side;

a processor configured to:

control the transceiver to send a first packet data network (PDN) connection request message to the network side for internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) registration;

control the transceiver to repeatedly send the first PDN connection request message for the IMS registration when it is determined that the IMS registration fails; and

control the transceiver to send a second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration when it is determined that a number of times the IMS registration failures reaches a predetermined number,

wherein the second PDN connection request message and the first PDN connection request message contain different PDN types.

8. An electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor determines that the IMS registration fails when the transceiver receives a response message without carrying an Internet Protocol (IP) address, for the first PDN connection request message, from the network side.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the PDN type contained in the first PDN connection request message is an Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) single stack, and the PDN type contained in the second PDN connection request message is an IPv4v6 dual stack.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor initializes a counter for counting the number of times the IMS registration fails when the transceiver sends the second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first PDN connection request message and the second PDN connection request message each further comprise access point (APN) type information indicating the IMS registration.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein there is a specific time period between processes of repeatedly sending the first PDN connection request message for two consecutive times.

13. A computer system comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory, tangible, program storage medium, readable by the computer system, embodying a program of instructions executable by the processor to perform method steps for establishing a communication connection, the method comprising:

sending a first packet data network (PDN) connection request message to a network side for Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) registration;

repeatedly sending the first PDN connection request message for the IMS registration when the IMS registration fails; and

sending a second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration when a number of times the IMS registration fails reaches a predetermined number,

wherein the second PDN connection request message and the first PDN connection request message contain different PDN types.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein it is determined that the IMS registration fails when a response message not carrying an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the first PDN connection request message is received from the network side.

15. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the PDN type contained in the first PDN connection request message is an Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) single stack, and the PDN type contained in the second PDN connection request message is an IPv4v6 dual stack.

16. The computer system of claim 13 , the method further comprising: initializing a counter for counting a number of times the IMS registration fails when sending the second PDN connection request message to the network side for the IMS registration.

17. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the first PDN connection request message and the second PDN connection request message each further comprise access point (APN) type information indicating the IMS registration.

18. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein a period of time between processes of repeatedly sending the first PDN connection request message is the same for two consecutive times.
