发明名称 Invoking circuit switched fallback in response to VoIP call setup failure
摘要 A network node through which VoIP call setup signaling passes between a user equipment device (UE) and a VoIP call server detects VoIP call setup failure and responsively invokes setup of an alternate call between the UE and the called destination. For instance, a packet-gateway in an LTE network may detect VoIP call setup failure and may responsively invoke setup of a circuit-switched fallback call between the UE and the called destination.

主权项 1. In a communication system comprising a first radio access network (RAN) configured to serve user equipment devices (UEs) according to a first air interface protocol, a second RAN configured to serve UEs according to a second air interface protocol, and a network node through which voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) signaling packets normally flow between the first RAN and a VoIP call server on a packet-switched network, a method comprising: detecting by the node (i) that a UE served by the first RAN is attempting VoIP call setup to a call destination, and (ii) failure of the VoIP call setup, wherein detecting that the UE is attempting the VoIP call setup and failure of the VoIP call setup comprises receiving a request to establish a dedicated VoIP bearer for the UE and detecting failure to set up the dedicated VoIP bearer, wherein the node is a gateway that provides connectivity between the first RAN and the packet-switched network, and wherein the dedicated VoIP bearer is between the UE and the gateway; and responsive to the detecting, signaling by the node to invoke setup of an alternate call between the UE and the call destination via the second RAN.
