HOMOGENEOUS CIRCUIT SWITCHED VOICE SUPPORT INDICATION IN A MOBILE NETWORK

摘要

A subscriber database maintains a data record related to a user equipment. The subscriber database receives an indication from a control node which is responsible for controlling a plurality of packet switched network accesses. The indication indicates whether voice communication with the user equipment over circuit switched access is supported or unsupported homogeneously for all the network accesses controlled by the control node. The subscriber database stores the indication in the data record. If the subscriber database receives a request from a termination control node which is responsible for controlling termination of a voice session with the user equipment, it processes the request depending on the stored indication. In some cases, if the indication indicates that voice communication with the user equipment over circuit switched access is unsupported homogeneously, the subscriber database may reject the request without further interaction with other nodes.
