In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, that is, a fourth generation (4G) mobile communication system, technologies for carrying voice services are mainly classified into two types: the Circuit Switch (CS) domain is reused, or the voice over PS domain is carried by the Packet Switch (PS) domain. At the initial stage of network establishment in an Evolved Packet System (EPS), if an operator already has a mature second generation (2G)/third generation (3G) network, the original CS domain voice scheme may be adopted to provide voice services, and LTE handles PS domain services.

The communication system may comprise a plurality of different networks, e.g. 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G co-exist, i.e. the terminal may switch or reselect between the different networks. Fig. 1 illustrates an example of 4G and 5G, and as shown in fig. 1, the system may include: the terminal 01, the 5G core network device 02 and the 4G core network device 03.

Further, the CS domain core network device may include: a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and/or a Visitor Location Register (VLR).
The CS domain core network device may establish an interface with the 4G core network device, so that the 4G core network device may interact information with the 2G core network device/3G core network device, and thus the terminal may directly fall back from the 4G network to the 2G/3G network, which is not limited herein.
In the embodiment provided by the application, the 5G core network device may also directly establish a communication interface with the CS domain core network device, so that the 5G core network device may interact information with the 2G core network device/3G core network device, and thus the terminal may directly fall back to the 2G/3G network from the 5G network.

S202, the first core network device receives indication information from the second core network device.
The first core network device belongs to a first network, and the second core network device belongs to a second network. The location of the terminal is moved from the second network to the first network.
It should be noted that, in the above scenario, the terminal is previously accessed to the second network, and currently moves to the coverage of the first network, and needs to access the first network.
Alternatively, the terminal may reselect to the first network in an idle state or may switch to the first network in a connected state, which is not limited herein.
S203, the first core network device sends a location update message to the CS domain core network device, where the location update message is used to instruct the CS domain core network device to update the location of the terminal.
Specifically, both the 2G network and the 3G network can process voice services, and if the system includes a 2G core network device, the location update message is sent to the 2G core network device, and if the system includes a 3G core network device, the location update message is sent to the 3G core network device.
Optionally, after the terminal accesses the first core network device, the first core network device may initiate a combined location area update, so as to notify the MSC/VLR to update the location of the terminal. In addition, after the MSC/VLR updates the location of the terminal, it may initiate interface reestablishment, for example, when the terminal is switched from the 4G network to the 5G network, the MSC/VLR notifies the 4G core network device to release the interface (Gs interface) of the terminal with the CS core network device, and further notifies the 5G core network device to establish the interface of the terminal with the CS core network device.

Similarly, the second core network device receives a RELEASE-REQUEST message sent by the CS domain core network device, and RELEASEs the interface of the terminal with the CS domain core network device according to the RELEASE-REQUEST message.
In this embodiment, the first core network device receives the indication information from the second core network device, learns that the terminal is a CSFB user through the indication information, and then sends a location update message to the CS domain core network device to indicate the CS domain core network device to update the location of the terminal. The first core network device belongs to a first network, the second core network device belongs to a second network, and the position of the terminal is moved from the second network to the first network. The method and the device realize that the terminal can be indicated to the first core network equipment as the CSFB user to support the CSFB service flow under the condition that the terminal is moved from the second network to the first network.

Specifically, the terminal may reselect to the 4G network in an IDLE (IDLE) state, in this scenario, the 5G core network device does not know that the terminal has moved, the terminal may initiate Tracking Area Update (TAU) after reselecting to the 4G network, and then the 4G core network device may actively request the 5G core network device for CSFB-related information of the terminal.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a network changing method of a terminal according to another embodiment of the present application. Taking the case that the terminal reselects from the 5G network to the 4G network, the first core network device is an MME, and the second core network device is an AMF.

That is, in this embodiment, the indication information is carried in the context response to indicate that the terminal is a CSFB user.
Optionally, after receiving the context response, the MME performs an authentication/encryption procedure and replies a context acknowledgement message. Then, the MME initiates a session establishment request to a Serving Gateway (SGW), and the SGW and a Packet Data Gateway (PDN Gateway, PGW) perform a bearer establishment or modification process according to the received bearer related parameters.
And then the MME initiates a process of location deletion and the like to the AMF, so that location information of the terminal is deleted between the AMF, the SMF and a Unified Data Management entity (UDM), and unnecessary interfaces, such as an interface between a 5G network and a 2G/3G network, are released.
Optionally, after receiving the context response, the MME may reply to the AMF with an acknowledgement message (ACK) to indicate that the context response is received.
S304, the MME sends a cancel location (cancel location) request to the AMF.
S305, the AMF notifies a Unified Data Management entity (UDM) to delete the location information of the terminal.
Optionally, the SMF and the UPF also delete the related information of the terminal and release the session
S306, the MME sends a position updating message to the CS domain core network equipment.
Specifically, the MME initiates a joint location area update to the MSC or VLR.
And the CS domain core network equipment releases the interface of the terminal with the 5G core network equipment and initiates establishment of a Gs interface of the terminal with the 4G core network.

S403, the MME sends a context response to the AMF according to the context request message, and the context response carries the indication information.
That is, in this embodiment, the indication information is carried in the context response to indicate that the terminal is a CSFB user.
After receiving the context response, the AMF optionally performs an authentication/encryption process and replies a context acknowledgement message. The 5G core network device (including AMF, SMF, User Plane Function (UPF) for transferring User plane data, etc.) and the HSS/UDM perform the session establishment procedure and the procedures of bearer establishment/modification, etc.

Wherein, old LAI represents the LAI when the terminal originally accesses the network. For example, the terminal reselects from the 4G network to the 5G network, and old LAI represents the LAI of the terminal when the terminal originally accesses the 4G network.
Further, when the terminal is accessed to the second network and is in a connected state, handover may also occur, and the terminal is accessed to the first network through a handover process. In this case, the manner of indicating that the terminal is a CSFB user may be different.

And after the inter-system switching process is executed, the terminal is switched to the 5G network.
And S602, after the terminal is switched to the 5G network, the terminal sends an RAU request to the AMF.
It should be noted that, different from the foregoing embodiment, the present embodiment already performs the handover procedure, and the MME also sends the indication information to the AMF, so that the RAU request may not carry the old (old) Location Area Identity (LAI), and the context interaction procedure does not need to be performed.
S603, the AMF sends a location updating message to the CS domain core network device.
Specifically, the AMF initiates a combined location area update to the MSC or VLR. The AMF itself also updates the location information of the terminal.
And the CS domain core network equipment releases the Gs interface of the terminal between the CS domain core network equipment and the 4G core network equipment and initiates the establishment of the interface of the terminal between the CS domain core network equipment and the 5G core network.
In addition, the CS domain core network device also updates the location information of the terminal.
According to the embodiments shown in fig. 5 and 6, the indication information includes one or more of the following items: CSFB identification (CSFB indication), old lai (old lai), CS domain selection information, and terminal configuration information (Voice domain prediction and UE's usage setting).
Wherein, old LAI represents the LAI when the terminal originally accesses the network. For example, the terminal is switched from the 4G network to the 5G network, and old LAI represents the LAI when the terminal originally accesses the 4G network.
Through the embodiment, the terminal can be indicated as a CSFB user when moving between the 4G network and the 5G network, and the CSFB related information is transmitted to support a CSFB flow. Meanwhile, an interface between the 5G network and the 2G/3G network can be established, so that the CSFB process can be directly carried out between the 5G network and the 2G/3G network.
