Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a voice service configuration method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] As VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi) technology continues to mature, more and more operators are deploying VoWiFi to make up for the lack of cellular coverage. Depending on the networking scheme, VoWiFi service can be implemented based on EPC / ePDG network architecture.
[0003] However, due to the limitations of operators' business plans, when mobile terminal users do not have a default VoWiFi service account or only have an on-demand account, if a user tries to access the VoWiFi network through the terminal, the request to establish an IPSec tunnel will fail. Moreover, in the above business scenario, the failure to access VoWiFi will be a very common phenomenon. If the network does not respond to the terminal, it will cause the terminal to keep retrying (attempting to access the VoWiFi network), thus putting pressure on network resources.
[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] To facilitate understanding, before introducing the embodiments of this disclosure, the following explanations are provided for several terms involved in the embodiments of this disclosure:
[0030] EPC: Evolved Packet Core;
[0031] ePDG: Evolevd Packet Data Gateway;
[0032] IPSec: IP Security, a standard for protecting secure communication using the IP protocol;

[0035] The specific implementation methods of the embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture includes a terminal device 101, a network 102, and a network-side device 103. The terminal device 101 obtains a response message sent by the evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) (equivalent to the aforementioned network-side device 103) through the network 102. The response message includes whether it carries backoff timer information. The system determines whether the response message carries backoff timer information. If it does, it stops initiating the request to access the VoWiFi network within the time limit specified by the backoff timer information. If it does not, it stops initiating the request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0037] In one embodiment of this disclosure, when the terminal is configured with a local timer, it is determined whether the response message carries backoff timer information; if so, according to the preset timer priority, the request to access the VoWiFi network is stopped within the time limit of the timer with higher priority; if not, the request to access the VoWiFi network is stopped.
[0038] In one embodiment of this disclosure, when the terminal is not configured with a local timer, an operation is performed to determine whether the response message carries backtimer information.
[0039] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the response message includes any one of the following:
[0040] Access to non-3GPP networks accessing the EPC is not permitted (NON_3GPP_ACCESS_TO_EPC_NOT_ALLOWED), and the backoff timer information (BACKOFF_TIMER) is not carried.
[0041] Authorization was denied (AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED), without carrying backoff timer information (BACKOFF_TIMER).
[0042] The network type RAT_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED is not allowed and does not carry backoff timer information BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0043] The operator has not subscribed to NO_APN_SUBSCRIPTION and carries the backoff timer information BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0044] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the terminal is further configured to re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network based on preset conditions.
[0045] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the preset conditions include:
[0046] Terminal shutdown / restart information;
[0047] Terminal USIM card insertion / removal information;
[0048] Terminal switch flight mode information;
[0049] Terminal WiFi reconnection information.
[0050] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the response message includes an IKE_AUTH Answer message.
[0051] Network 102 is a medium used to provide a communication link between terminal device 101 and network-side device 103, and can be a wired network or a wireless network.
[0052] Optionally, the aforementioned wireless or wired networks use standard communication technologies and / or protocols. The network is typically the Internet, but can also be any network, including but not limited to Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), mobile, wired or wireless networks, private networks, or any combination of virtual private networks. In some embodiments, technologies and / or formats including Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), etc., are used to represent data exchanged over the network. Furthermore, conventional encryption technologies such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) can be used to encrypt all or some links. In other embodiments, custom and / or dedicated data communication technologies can be used to replace or supplement the aforementioned data communication technologies.
[0053] Optionally, the terminal device in this embodiment may also be referred to as UE (User Equipment). In specific implementation, the terminal device may be a mobile phone, tablet personal computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, or vehicle-mounted device, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of terminal device is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0054] Network-side equipment can be base stations, relays, or access points, etc. Base stations can be 5G and later versions of base stations (e.g., 5G NR NB), or base stations in other communication systems (e.g., eNB base stations). It should be noted that the specific type of network-side equipment is not limited in the embodiments disclosed herein.
[0055] Those skilled in the art will know that Figure 1 The number of terminals, networks, and network-side devices shown is merely illustrative; any number of terminals, networks, and network-side devices can be included as needed. This disclosure does not limit the scope of the embodiments.
[0056] Under the above system architecture, this disclosure provides a voice service configuration method, which can be executed by any electronic device with computing capabilities.
[0057] In some embodiments, the voice service configuration method provided in this disclosure can be executed by a terminal device in the above-described system architecture; in other embodiments, the voice service configuration method provided in this disclosure can be executed by a server in the above-described system architecture; in still other embodiments, the voice service configuration method provided in this disclosure can be implemented by the terminal device and the server in the above-described system architecture through interaction.
[0058] Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of a voice service configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the voice service configuration method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0059] S202, Obtain the response message sent by the evolved packet data gateway (ePDG), wherein the response message includes whether it carries backoff timer information.
[0060] It should be noted that the above response message can be a message from the responding terminal, such as the IKE_AUTH Answer message.
[0061] For example, during the process of establishing an IPSec tunnel for a terminal to access a VoWiFi network in an EPC / ePDG networking architecture, if the terminal fails to access VoWiFi due to the user not having activated the VoWiFi service, ePDG will return the corresponding error code to the terminal in the IKE_AUTH Answer message.
[0062] S204, determine whether the response message carries backoff timer information.
[0063] It should be noted that the aforementioned rollback timer information can specify a time to execute a task, allowing the program to perform the operation on time instead of manually. This can be a timer from the standard library or a custom timer, such as the time set by the Timer or the time set by the BACKOFF_TIMER timer.
[0064] S206, If so, according to the rollback timer information, stop initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network within the time limit specified by the rollback timer information.
[0065] It should be noted that the time limit mentioned above can be a timer task set by the rollback timer, such as ten minutes.
[0066] For example, within the time limit set by the network timer (equivalent to the aforementioned rollback timer information) (within ten minutes), the request will not be retried until the network timer expires or a specific scenario (preset condition) triggers the terminal to re-initiate the request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture.
[0067] S208, if not, stop initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network.
[0068] For example, the terminal will no longer initiate retries or will only initiate a limited number of retries until a specific scenario (preset condition) triggers the terminal to re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture.
[0069] This disclosure obtains the timer information of the response message sent by the ePDG, and formulates voice service configuration based on the timer information, thereby avoiding the problem of the terminal constantly trying to access the VoWiFi network and increasing the pressure on network resources because the user has not activated the VoWiFi service.
[0070] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the voice service configuration method provided in this embodiment can combine the network timer with the terminal's local timer through the following steps, so as not to rely entirely on the timer issued by the network:
[0071] S302, when the terminal is configured with a local timer, determine whether the response message carries backoff timer information;
[0072] S304, If so, according to the preset timer priority, stop initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network within the time limit of the timer with higher priority;
[0073] S306, If not, stop initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network.
[0074] It should be noted that the above-mentioned high-priority timers can be either local timers configured on the terminal or timers sent from the network (rollback timer information).
[0075] For example, the terminal's local timer has a higher priority than the network timer (rollback timer information). It will not retry within the time limit set by the terminal's local timer, and will only be triggered to re-initiate the request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture when the terminal's local timer expires or in a specific scenario.
[0076] In one example of this disclosure, when the terminal is not configured with a local timer, an operation is performed to determine whether the response message carries backoff timer information.
[0077] For example, when the terminal is not configured with a local timer, it checks whether the response message carries fallback timer information. If so, based on the fallback timer information, it stops initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network for the time limit specified in the fallback timer information. If not, it stops initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network.
[0078] In one instance of this disclosure, the response message includes any one of the following:
[0079] Access to non-3GPP networks accessing the EPC is not permitted (NON_3GPP_ACCESS_TO_EPC_NOT_ALLOWED), and the backoff timer information (BACKOFF_TIMER) is not carried.
[0080] Authorization was denied (AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED), without carrying backoff timer information (BACKOFF_TIMER).
[0081] The network type RAT_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED is not allowed and does not carry backoff timer information BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0082] The operator has not subscribed to NO_APN_SUBSCRIPTION and carries the backoff timer information BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0083] For example, during the process of establishing an IPSec tunnel for a terminal to access a VoWiFi network in an EPC / ePDG networking architecture, if the terminal fails to access VoWiFi due to the user not having activated the VoWiFi service, ePDG returns the corresponding error code to the terminal in the IKE_AUTH Answer message. The error code can be selected as follows:
[0084] Error code 1: NON_3GPP_ACCESS_TO_EPC_NOT_ALLOWED, BACKOFF_TIMER cannot be carried;
[0085] Error code 2: AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED, cannot carry BACKOFF_TIMER;
[0086] Error code 3: RAT_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED, cannot carry BACKOFF_TIMER;
[0087] Error code 4: NO_APN_SUBSCRIPTION, which may include BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0088] If the terminal receives error code 1, error code 2, or error code 3, and does not configure a local timer, the terminal will not initiate a retry or will only initiate a limited number of retries until a specific scenario triggers the terminal to re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture.
[0089] If the terminal receives error code 1, error code 2, or error code 3, it configures a local timer. Within the time limit set by the local timer, it will not retry until the local timer expires or a specific scenario triggers the terminal to re-initiate the request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture.
[0090] If the terminal receives error code 4, it will not configure a local timer and will not retry within the time limit set by the network timer until the network timer expires or a specific scenario triggers the terminal to re-initiate the request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture.
[0091] If the terminal receives error code 4, it configures a local timer (the terminal's local timer has a higher priority than the network timer) and will not retry within the time limit set by the terminal's local timer. The terminal will only re-initiate the request to access the VoWiFi network of the EPC / ePDG networking architecture when the terminal's local timer expires or in a specific scenario.
[0092] This disclosure aims to address the issue of terminals frequently initiating IPSec tunnel establishment requests to the network due to users not having activated the VoWiFi service. The terminal can identify the above error codes to determine the reason for authentication failure and execute a retry strategy in conjunction with the timer settings. Moreover, the terminal can configure the timer locally and does not have to rely entirely on the timer issued by the network.
[0093] In one example of this disclosure, the above-mentioned voice service configuration method further includes: according to preset conditions, the terminal re-initiates a request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0094] In one example of this disclosure, the aforementioned preset conditions include: terminal power off / restart information; terminal USIM card insertion / removal information; terminal airplane mode on / off information; and terminal WiFi reconnection information.
[0095] For example, after a user activates the VoWiFi service, they may use their terminal to power off and restart. Upon receiving the power off and restart information, the terminal will then re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0096] For example, after a user activates the VoWiFi service, they can insert or remove the USIM card using the terminal. Once the terminal receives the information about the USIM card insertion or removal, it will re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0097] For example, after a user activates the VoWiFi service, they can use their terminal to toggle airplane mode on and off. Once the terminal receives the information that airplane mode has been toggled, it will re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0098] For example, after a user activates the VoWiFi service, if the user uses a terminal to reconnect to WiFi, the terminal will receive the WiFi reconnection information and then re-initiate a request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0099] In one instance of this disclosure, the aforementioned response message includes the IKE_AUTH Answer message.
[0100] This disclosure establishes a voice service configuration method through the response message sent by the ePDG, which can stop the terminal from initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network, thus solving the problem of the terminal's continuous attempts to connect affecting its battery life.
[0101] It should be noted that the acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in this disclosed technical solution comply with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations. The various types of data, such as personal identity data, operational data, and behavioral data related to individuals, customers, and groups, obtained in the embodiments of this disclosure have all been authorized.

[0106] The first request stop module 43 is used to, if so, stop initiating requests to access the VoWiFi network within the time limit specified by the fallback timer information.
[0107] The second request stop module 44 is used to stop initiating the request to access the VoWiFi network if no.
[0108] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the aforementioned voice service configuration device further includes a local timer module 45, used to determine whether the response message carries backoff timer information when a local timer is configured locally; if so, to stop initiating the request to access the VoWiFi network within the time limit of the timer with the higher priority, according to the preset timer priority; if not, to stop initiating the request to access the VoWiFi network.
[0109] In one example of this disclosure, the aforementioned rollback timer information determination module 42 is also used to determine whether the response message carries rollback timer information when the terminal is not configured with a local timer.
[0110] In one example of this disclosure, the response message in the above voice service configuration includes any one of the following:

[0112] Authorization was denied (AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED), without carrying backoff timer information (BACKOFF_TIMER).
[0113] The network type RAT_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED is not allowed and does not carry backoff timer information BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0114] The operator has not subscribed to NO_APN_SUBSCRIPTION and carries the backoff timer information BACKOFF_TIMER.
[0115] In one example of this disclosure, the aforementioned voice service configuration device further includes a request initiation module 46, used to re-initiate a request for access to the VoWiFi network based on preset conditions.

[0118] Terminal USIM card insertion / removal information;

[0120] Terminal WiFi reconnection information.
[0121] In one example of this disclosure, the response message in the response message acquisition module 41 mentioned above includes the IKE_AUTHAnswer message.
[0122] It should be noted that the aforementioned response message acquisition module 41, backoff timer information judgment module 42, first request stop module 43, and second request stop module 44 correspond to S202 to S208 in the method embodiment. The examples and application scenarios implemented by these modules and their corresponding steps are the same, but they are not limited to the content disclosed in the above method embodiment. It should also be noted that these modules, as part of the apparatus, can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions.
