The communication system shown in fig. 1a is illustrated by way of example with one network device and one terminal device.

The network device in fig. 1a is a network device in a first network, which is a Core Network (CN). Taking the LTE communication system as an example, the CN may include a mobility management node function (mobility management entity, MME) network element, a Serving Gateway (SGW), a packet data network gateway (packet data network gateway, PDN GW), a home subscriber server (home subscriber server, HSS), and the like.

Referring to fig. 1b, fig. 1b is a schematic structural diagram of another communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. The communication system includes one or more network devices (also referred to as access network devices) in the radio access network in addition to the terminal device and the network devices in the first network. In fig. 1b, an access network device is included in the radio access network as an example. The access network device may be configured to forward information to be sent by the network device to the terminal device in the first network, and may also be configured to forward information to be sent by the terminal device to the network device in the first network. In the embodiment of the application, the access network device includes, but is not limited to: a base station, an evolved Node B (eNB), a Node B (NB), a baseband unit (BBU), an Access Point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, WIFI) system, a wireless relay Node, a wireless backhaul Node, a transmission point (transmission and reception point, TRP or transmission point, TP), and the like.

With the collaborative development of frequency division duplexing (frequency division duplexing, FDD) and time division duplexing (time division duplexing, TDD), more and more operators are put into the deployment and construction of long term evolution (VoLTE) networks. VoLTE is the dominant scheme for implementing voice services and voice roaming in the long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) era. The voice service continuity is implemented in VoLTE using a single radio voice call continuity (single radio voice call continuity, SRVCC) scheme or an enhanced single radio voice call continuity (enhanced single radio voice call continuity, eSRVCC) scheme. VoLTE is used as a key capability of an operator to construct next generation converged communication, and richer high-quality audio and video service experience can be provided for users.

The own network conditions, the faced customer population, the number, the specific requirements of different operators may be different, the functions supported by the deployed VoLTE network may also be different, and then the internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IP multimedia subsystem, IMS) parameters may be different in the deployed VoLTE network by different operators. Wherein the functions supported by the carrier deployed VoLTE network may include one or more of the following: LTE-based video telephony (LTE, viLTE), wiFi-based voice telephony (VoWiFi), internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IP multimedia subsystem, IMS) -based short message service (short message service, SMS) (SMS over IMS), packet Switch (PS) domain-based emergency telephony (emergency call via PS), and so on. The ViLTE is an important supplement of VoLTE, and can be used for solving the voice service requirement under the indoor weak coverage condition.

Aiming at VoLTE networks deployed by different operators in different countries, the operators leaving the factory of the terminal equipment need to customize different IMS parameter configuration schemes to configure IMS parameters of the terminal equipment. The equipment manufacturer leaving the factory of the terminal equipment needs to acquire IMS parameters of the VoLTE network from an operator in advance, configure the IMS parameters of the terminal equipment, and then needs to perform real network verification on the terminal equipment so as to keep consistent with the real network. The IMS parameter configuration method is low in efficiency and affects the commercial process of VoLTE.

The embodiment of the application provides a parameter configuration method, in which a terminal device can determine an IMS parameter carried in IMS registration according to a received IMS parameter type of a first network, so that the configuration efficiency of the IMS parameter can be improved.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a parameter configuration method 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, where the parameter configuration method 100 may be applied to the communication system shown in fig. 1a, and is described with reference to interaction between a terminal device and a network device in a first network. The parameter configuration method 100 includes the steps of:

s101, in the process of accessing a first network, the terminal equipment reports first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal equipment to support an IMS function. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information of the terminal device.

In an alternative embodiment, the parameter configuration method further includes: the terminal equipment configures N IMS parameter groups corresponding to the IMS parameter types respectively, wherein N is a positive integer. In addition, the terminal device may further configure the value of each IMS parameter in each IMS parameter set, and the value of each IMS parameter in each IMS parameter set may be preset. The embodiment is beneficial for the terminal equipment to determine the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network from the IMS parameter sets corresponding to the N IMS parameter types respectively. Optionally, the configuring, by the terminal device, the IMS parameter sets corresponding to the N IMS parameter types respectively may include: the terminal equipment stores the IMS parameter sets corresponding to the N IMS parameter types locally, and stores the value of each IMS parameter in each IMS parameter set.

Each IMS parameter group includes IMS parameters that need to be carried when the terminal device performs IMS registration, that is, IMS parameters related to IMS registration. Optionally, each parameter set may further include an IMS parameter carried by the terminal device when IMS registering, that is, an IMS parameter related to an IMS service, in addition to an IMS parameter carried by the terminal device when IMS registering.

In addition, the IMS parameter sets corresponding to the N IMS parameter types are determined according to the IMS configuration of the global operator. For example, based on the global operator commercial VoLTE requirements, 6 IMS parameter sets may be determined, each corresponding to one IMS parameter type. VoLTE functions supported by the IMS parameter sets corresponding to different IMS parameter types are not identical, i.e. services supported by the IMS parameter sets corresponding to different IMS parameter types are not identical. In addition, as the network evolves or the VoLTE function supplements, besides the 6 IMS parameter types, an IMS parameter type and an IMS parameter set corresponding to the newly added IMS parameter type may be added.

The above-mentioned 6 IMS parameter groups include an IMS parameter group 1, an IMS parameter group 2, an IMS parameter group 3, an IMS parameter group 4, an IMS parameter group 5, and an IMS parameter group 6. Specifically, IMS parameter set 1 may support services of VoLTE, IMS parameter set 2 may support services of VoLTE and SMS over IMS, services supported by IMS parameter set 3 may further add services of VoWiFi based on IMS parameter set 2, services supported by IMS parameter set 4 may further add services of ViLTE based on IMS parameter set 3, services supported by IMS parameter set 5 may further add services of LTE-based unstructured supplementary data service (unstructured supplementary service data, USSD) (USSD over IMS, USSI) based on IMS parameter set 4, and services supported by IMS parameter set 6 may further add services for voice handover between VoWiFi and ViLTE based on IMS parameter set 5.

In an alternative embodiment, the first indication information is carried in the registration access request. For example, the terminal device carries ims_support in a registration access request when initiating an attach access, and "ims_support" is a representation of the first indication information. If ims_support=0x1, it means that the terminal device SUPPORTs IMS functions. If ims_support=0x0, it indicates that the terminal device does not SUPPORT IMS functions, then the network device may not carry the IMS parameter type of the first network in the complete access and registration success message.

S102, the network equipment sends the IMS parameter type of the first network. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the IMS parameter type of the first network.

In an alternative embodiment, the network device sending the IMS parameter type of the first network may include: the network equipment determines an IMS parameter set of the first network according to the VoLTE function supported by the first network; then, the network device sends an IMS parameter type corresponding to the IMS parameter group of the first network. That is, when the operator deploys the first network, according to the VoLTE function supported by the first network, an IMS parameter set corresponding to a suitable IMS parameter type is selected from the N IMS parameter types to configure.

In an alternative embodiment, the IMS parameter type of the first network is carried in a complete access and registration success message. The complete access and registration success message may indicate that the terminal device is allowed to access the first network. For example, the ims_config_flag is carried in the complete access and registration success message, and "ims_config_flag" is a representation of the IMS parameter type. If ims_config_flag=0xi, i=1, 2,..n, N, the IMS parameter type of the first network is indicated. Wherein 0X1, 0X2, 0XN corresponds one-to-one with N IMS parameter types. If ims_config_flag=0x0 indicates that the first network does not support IMS functions, or the first network does not have explicit IMS parameter types, the terminal device needs to be shipped with IMS parameters obtained from an operator deploying the first network by a device manufacturer of the terminal device, and then the terminal device is configured with IMS parameters.

S103, the terminal equipment performs IMS registration according to the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type.

The terminal device performs IMS registration according to an IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type, which may include: and the terminal equipment performs IMS registration according to the IMS parameters related to IMS registration (namely the IMS parameters which need to be carried when the terminal equipment performs IMS registration) in the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type.

For example, the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type includes IMS parameter 1, IMS parameter 2, and IMS parameter 3. Wherein IMS parameters 1 and 2 are related to IMS registration. Then, the terminal device carries IMS parameters 1 and 2 when performing IMS registration.

In an alternative embodiment, the success message of completing the access and the registration further carries one or more IMS parameters, where the one or more IMS parameters are IMS parameters in the first network except for the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network.

Then, the terminal device may acquire IMS parameters except for the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network in the first network, and further, when the terminal device performs IMS registration, the terminal device carries IMS parameters related to IMS registration in the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type, and also carries IMS parameters related to IMS registration in the IMS parameters except for the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network in the first network.

For example, the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type includes IMS parameter 1, IMS parameter 2, and IMS parameter 3. Wherein IMS parameters 1 and 2 are related to IMS registration. The complete access and registration success message also carries IMS parameters 4. If the IMS parameter 4 is related to IMS registration, the terminal device carries IMS parameter 1, IMS parameter 2, and IMS parameter 4 when performing IMS registration. If the IMS parameter 4 is not related to IMS registration, the terminal device carries the IMS parameter 1 and the IMS parameter 2 when performing IMS registration.

In yet another alternative embodiment, the success message of completing the access and the registration further carries one or more IMS parameters, where the one or more IMS parameters are IMS parameters that need not be carried during the IMS registration in the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network.

Then, the terminal equipment acquires the IMS parameters which are not required to be carried in IMS registration in the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, and the terminal equipment does not carry the IMS parameters when carrying out IMS registration. Then, the terminal device carries the IMS parameters related to IMS registration except the IMS parameters in the success message of completing access and registration in the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type when carrying out IMS registration.

For example, the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type includes IMS parameter 1, IMS parameter 2, and IMS parameter 3. Wherein IMS parameters 1 and 2 are related to IMS registration. The success message of completing access and registration also carries the IMS parameter 2, and indicates that the terminal equipment does not need to carry the IMS parameter 2 when carrying out the IMS parameter. Then the terminal device carries IMS parameter 1 when performing IMS registration.

In one implementation manner, the success message of completing access and registration carries not only the IMS parameters except for the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network in the first network, but also the IMS parameters which are not required to be carried when the IMS registration is performed in the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network.

For example, the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type includes IMS parameter 1, IMS parameter 2, and IMS parameter 3. Wherein IMS parameters 1 and 2 are related to IMS registration. The success of completing access and registration message also carries an IMS parameter 4, which IMS parameter 4 is related to IMS registration. The success message of completing access and registration also carries the IMS parameter 2, and indicates that the terminal equipment does not need to carry the IMS parameter 2 when carrying out the IMS parameter. Then, the terminal device carries IMS parameters 1 and 4 when performing IMS registration.

In still another optional implementation manner, the success message of completing the access and the registration further carries one or more IMS parameters and a value of each IMS parameter in the one or more IMS parameters, where the one or more IMS parameters are IMS parameters in an IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, and the carried one or more IMS parameters have different values from the one or more IMS parameters in the IMS parameter set. And then, the terminal equipment carries the IMS parameters related to IMS registration in the one or more IMS parameters when carrying out IMS registration, and the value of the IMS parameters related to IMS registration is the value of the IMS parameters carried in the success message of completing access and registration.

For example, the IMS parameter group corresponding to the IMS parameter type carried in the complete access and registration success message includes: an IMS parameter 1 associated with IMS registration, and the value of the IMS parameter 1 in the IMS parameter set is 1. If the access and registration success message is completed, the IMS parameter 1 is also carried, and the value of the IMS parameter 1 is 0. Then, the terminal device carries IMS parameter 1 with value 0 when performing IMS registration.

It can be seen that the IMS parameters that can be carried in the success message of completing access and registration may be IMS parameters in the first network other than the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, or may be IMS parameters that need not be carried when IMS registration is performed in the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, or may be that the value of the carried IMS parameters is different from the value of the IMS parameters in the IMS parameter set. As can be seen, when there is an inconsistency between the individual IMS parameters in the first network and the IMS parameters in the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, the above embodiment is beneficial to supplement the inconsistent IMS parameters in the complete access and registration success message.

With reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a portion structure of a complete access and registration success message provided in an embodiment of the present application. The partial octet (octet) structure of the complete access and registration success message shown in fig. 3 includes octet1 for carrying IMS parameter types, and reserved octet2, octet3 and octet4. The octet2, octet3 and octet4 may be used to carry IMS parameters in the first network except for the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, and/or IMS parameters that need not be carried during IMS registration in the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network, and/or the value of the carried IMS parameter is different from the value of the IMS parameter in the IMS parameter set. That is, OCtet2, OCtet3, and OCtet4 may be used to carry IMS parameters in the first network that are inconsistent with the set of IMS parameters corresponding to the type of IMS parameters.

In summary, in the parameter configuration method 100, the terminal device reports the first indication information during the process of accessing the first network, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the IMS function. And the network equipment sends the IMS parameter type of the first network after receiving the first indication information. And the terminal equipment performs IMS registration according to the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network.

Therefore, the terminal device can determine the IMS parameters carried in IMS registration by receiving the IMS parameter type of the first network, and compared with the mode that the equipment manufacturer configures the IMS parameters of the terminal device by acquiring the IMS parameters of the VoLTE network from the operator, the configuration efficiency of the IMS parameters can be improved, and the method is favorable for promoting the commercial process of global IMS (including VoLTE/VoWiFi) in terms of configuration time and economic applicability.

Based on the communication system shown in fig. 1b, the embodiment of the present application further provides a parameter configuration method 200 as shown in fig. 4 a. The parameter configuration method 200 is illustrated in terms of interactions between a terminal device, an access network device, and a network device in a first network. The parameter configuration method 200 includes the steps of:

In fig. 5, the terminal device derives a unified domain name from a built-in global subscriber identity card (universal subscriber identity module, USIM) and sends the unified domain name and IMS service configuration request to the PDN GW. Wherein the IMS service configuration request carries IMS parameters related to IMS services. The PDN GW resolves the unified domain name through a domain name system (domain name system, DNS) to obtain an internet protocol (internet protocol, IP) address of the service provisioning proxy gateway, and forwards an IMS service provisioning request to the service provisioning proxy gateway based on the IP address of the service provisioning proxy gateway.

In the parameter configuration method 200, first indication information reported by the terminal device is forwarded to network devices in the first network by the access network device.

Specifically, after the VoLTE function supported by the first network is adjusted, the network device in the first network may update the IMS parameter type of the first network according to the VoLTE function supported by the adjusted first network, and send the updated IMS parameter type of the first network. Then, the terminal device may perform IMS registration according to the updated IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network. The terminal device may further perform IMS services according to the updated IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network. Therefore, the parameter configuration method can avoid IMS registration failure caused by untimely updating of IMS parameters carried by the terminal equipment when IMS registration is carried out, and can also avoid IMS service failure caused by untimely updating of IMS parameters carried by the terminal equipment when IMS service is carried out. And compared with a mode that an equipment manufacturer leaving the terminal equipment re-acquires the IMS parameters from an operator to update the IMS parameter configuration of the terminal equipment, the IMS parameter updating efficiency is improved.

In addition, the parameter configuration method shown in fig. 2, fig. 4a, or fig. 4b may also be used for updating IMS parameters when the terminal device performs IMS roaming (roaming).

Specifically, when the terminal device accessing the first network roams to the second network, information for indicating the terminal device to support the IMS function is reported in the process of accessing the second network. And after the network equipment in the second network receives the information for indicating the terminal equipment to support the IMS function, the network equipment in the second network sends the IMS parameter type of the second network. Then, the terminal device may perform IMS registration for the second network according to the IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the second network. The terminal device may further perform an IMS service for the second network according to the updated IMS parameter set corresponding to the IMS parameter type of the first network. Therefore, the parameter configuration method can improve the IMS parameter updating efficiency when the terminal equipment performs IMS roaming, further improve the IMS roaming efficiency of the terminal equipment, and promote the business process of global IMS roaming.
