MOBILE COMMUNICATION METHOD AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A mobile communication method in a mobile communication system which includes a first radio access network not supporting circuit-switched communications, a second radio access network supporting circuit-switched communications, and a service control network, and which is capable of being set to switch a voice communication path between a first mobile station and a second mobile station from a path via the first radio access network to a path via the second radio access network in an anchor node in a visitor network of the first mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:
- causing a mobility management node in the visitor network to acquire capability of the first mobile station and to notify a subscriber management server of the capability of the first mobile station in an attach process or a location registration process of the first mobile station, andcausing a control node which controls the anchor node to acquire the capability of the first mobile station in a registration process of the first mobile station with the service control network.

7. A control node in a mobile communication system which includes a first radio access network not supporting circuit-switched communications, a second radio access network supporting circuit-switched communications, and a service control network, and which is capable of being set to switch a voice communication path between a first mobile station and a second mobile station from an path via the first radio access network to a path via the second radio access network in an anchor node in a visitor network of the first mobile station, the control node controlling the anchor node, wherein
the control node is configured to determine whether or not to set the anchor node for switching the voice communication path, based on the capability of the first mobile station, in a terminating process from a second mobile station to the first mobile station.
-
8. An application server in a service control network in a mobile communication system which includes a first radio access network not supporting circuit-switched communications, a second radio access network supporting circuit-switched communications, and the service control network, and which is capable of being set to switch a voice communication path between a first mobile station and a second mobile station from a path via the first radio access network to a path via the second radio access network in an anchor node in a visitor network of the first mobile station, wherein
the application server is configured to acquire the capability of the first mobile station and to determine whether or not to transmit information indicating a control node to a subscriber management server based on the capability of the first mobile station in a registration process of the first mobile station with the service control network.
-
9. A mobility management node in a visitor network in a mobile communication system which includes a first radio access network not supporting circuit-switched communications, a second radio access network supporting circuit-switched communications, and a service control network, and which is capable of being set to switch a voice communication path between a first mobile station and a second mobile station from a path via the first radio access network to a path via the second radio access network in an anchor node, with SRVCC scheme, in a visitor network of the first mobile station, wherein
the mobility management node in the visitor network is configured to acquire SRVCC capability of the first mobile station and notify a subscriber management server of the SRVCC capability of the first mobile station in an attach process of the first mobile station, the mobility management node is configured to notify the subscriber management server of the SRVCC capability of the first mobile station upon detecting that the SRVCC capability of the first mobile station is changed, and the SRVCC capability of the first mobile station is information indicating that the first mobile station supports the SRVCC scheme or information that the first mobile station does not support the SRVCC scheme.
