Abstract

A disclosure of the present specification provides a method for establishing a packer data network (PDN) connection by a user equipment (UE). The method may comprise the steps of: transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP)-based request message for requesting sending of a voice over LTE (VoLTE) call through a first type PDN connection; receiving, from a network node, a message including information directly or indirectly indicating that there is a problem in the first type PDN connection, instead of a normal response message to the SIP-based request message; determining to change the PDN type from the first type to a second type, on the basis of the information in the received message; and transmitting, to a mobility management entity (MME), a PDN connection request message including information on the changed second type.

Claims (21)

1. A method of establishing a packet data network (PDN) connection by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP)-based request message for requesting a voice over LTE (VoLTE) mobile oriented (MO) call through a PDN connection of a first type;

receiving, from a network node, a message comprising information directly or indirectly indicating that there is a problem in the PDN connection of the first type, instead of a normal response message for the SIP-based request message;

determining to change a PDN type from the first type to the second type, on the basis of the information in the received message; and

transmitting, to a mobility management entity (MME), a PDN connectivity request message comprising information on the changed second type.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the network node is the MME, the message received from the network node is an update bearer context request message.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information in the received message is a new address list of a proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS).

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein only a P-CSCF address of the second type is comprised in the new address list.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network node is a proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS).

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the information in the message received from the network node is a cause field directly indicating a failure of the PDN connection based on the first type.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein only information regarding the second type is comprised in the PDN connectivity request message instead of information indicating both the first type and the second type.

8. A user equipment (UE) for establishing a packet data network (PDN) connection, the UE comprising:

a transceiver transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP)-based request message for requesting a voice over LTE (VoLTE) mobile oriented (MO) call through a PDN connection of a first type, and receiving, from a network node, a message comprising information directly or indirectly indicating that there is a problem in the PDN connection of the first type, instead of a normal response message for the SIP-based request message; and

a processor determining to change a PDN type from the first type to the second type, on the basis of the information in the received message,

wherein the processor transmits, to a mobility management entity (MME), a PDN connectivity request message comprising information on the changed second type via the transceiver.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein when the network node is the MME, the message received from the network node is an update bearer context request message.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the information in the received message is a new address list of a proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS).

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein only a P-CSCF address of the second type is comprised in the new address list.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the network node is a proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS).

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the information in the message received from the network node is a cause field directly indicating a failure of the PDN connection based on the first type.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein only information regarding the second type is comprised in the PDN connectivity request message instead of information indicating both the first type and the second type.
