TECHNIQUE FOR TERMINATING CALL SET UP IN A CSFB SITUATION

摘要

Techniques and apparatus are described for controlling set up of a terminating call from an IMS to a UE, in a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) situation. A first MSC receives a terminating call from IMS and tries to page the UE. The UE has moved to the second MSC and performs a Location Update to the second MSC. The second MSC informs the first MSC with a Send Identification message comprising an address of the second MSC. The first MSC maintains the IMS subscription of the UE at Cancel Location and forwards the terminating call to the second MSC. The first MSC acts as relay for subsequent call control messages for calls of the UE. The first and second MSCs are supervising the ongoing calls and as soon as all calls are completed the second MSC registers the UE into IMS and the first MSC de-registers the UE from IMS.
