Abstract

Disclosed is a method for implementing voice channel switching during calling proceeding in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of: adding a switching network in a Base Station Controller (BSC); authenticating the calling mobile station, determining the location area of the called mobile station and initiating paging for the called mobile station by the mobile communication system; obtaining the information of the coverage area of the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) corresponding to the calling mobile station and that of the BTS corresponding to the called mobile station, and judging whether the calling party and the called party locate in the coverage areas of the BTSs managed by the same BSC; if so, implementing voice channel connection through the switching network added in the BSC; otherwise implementing the voice channel connection through mobile exchanges. With this invention, roundabout voice paths can be reduced, meanwhile data flow and transmission delay between subsystems of the mobile system can be decreased.

Claims

1. A method for implementing voice channel switching during calling proceeding in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

a. adding switching networks in base station controllers;

b. authenticating the calling mobile station, determining the location area of the called mobile station and initiating paging for the called mobile station by the mobile communication system;

c. obtaining the information of the coverage area of the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) corresponding to the calling mobile station and that of the BTS corresponding to the called mobile station, and judging whether the calling party and the called party locate in the coverage areas of the BTSs managed by the same base station controller; and

d. if the calling party and the called party locate in the coverage areas of the BTSs managed by the same base station controller, implementing voice channel connection through the switching network added in the base station controller;

or

e. if the calling party and the called party locate in the coverage areas of the BTSs managed by different base station controllers, implementing the voice channel connection through mobile exchanges.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein under the condition that said mobile communication system is a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), in step c, the information of the coverage area of the BTS corresponding to the calling mobile station is obtained through cell identification number carried in the messages sent by the calling mobile station, and whether the calling party and the called party locate in the coverage areas of the BTSs managed by the same base station controller is judged by the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) or the base station controller.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the transmission system supporting net-like structure is used as the interface between the BTS and the base station controller in said GSM system, and the base station controller has a structure supporting said interface to employ complete net-like transmission.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein under the condition that said mobile communication system is a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, in step c, the information of the coverage area of the BTS corresponding to the calling mobile station is obtained through cell identification number carried in the messages sent by the calling base station, and whether the calling party and the called party locate in the coverage areas of the BTSs managed by the same base station controller is judged by the core switching network or the Radio Network Controller (RNC).
