FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to a method and system for single-Packet Data Protocol (PDP) dual-stack serial dialing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Compared with Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) has many advantages. Either a 3rdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP)-based Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) or a 3rdGeneration Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2)-based Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (CDMA2000) system has already determined a development direction of IPv6. Particularly in a 3G IP Multimedia Sub-system (IMS) stage, a network system will be completely based on or compatible with IPv6. IPv6 has become a common basic protocol of the Internet and a mobile communication network. Under such a background, an application of IPv6 to a 3G network and a mobile terminal will become increasingly popular.

However, in a popularization process of IPv6 in the field of mobile communication, IPv4 will exist for quite a while, so the mobile terminal and network equipment often need to be compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6, namely to support IPv4 and IPv6 dual stacks. For the mobile terminal, support to the dual stacks means that it needs to activate a PDP context of a corresponding type according to a certain flow in a dialing process. The most common condition is that the terminal can try to activate a PDP of an IPv4v6 type, namely try to establish a single-PDP dual-stack connection. On a Personal Computer (PC), when the single-PDP dual-stack connection is established through the mobile terminal, the simultaneous transmission of IPv4 and IPv6 dialing instructions is required. However, if a communication mechanism between a host driver and the terminal under an operating system such as a Mac operating system adopts a synchronous communication mechanism, that is, the host driver and the terminal interact with each other in a serial mode, under such a condition, the serial transmission of two dialing instructions will cause the problem that a single-PDP dual-stack mode automatically returns to a dual-PDP dual-stack mode, and because a network environment of the mobile terminal is diversified, and the network may not support the single-PDP dual-stack mode, or does not support IPv6, IPv4 or the like, blind dialing will cause unnecessary dialing processing and a dialing failure to waste a system resource.

When the first dialing instruction is the IPv4 dialing instruction, if the received dialing response information is the dialing success response information, the host does not transmit the IPv6 dialing instruction when determining that the cause reference information included in the dialing success response information is “PDP type IPv4 only allowed” represented by the code 50, transmits an IPv6 single-stack dialing instruction at a new port when determining that the cause reference information included in the dialing success response information is “single address bearers only allowed” represented by the code 52, and transmits another dialing instruction, i.e. the IPv6 dialing instruction, different from the first dialing instruction when determining that the cause reference information included in the dialing success response information is “success”; and

S312: the mobile terminal judges the failure cause according to the SM Cause, records the cause reference information to be the code 51 if the failure cause is PDP type IPv6 only allowed represented by the code 51, and records the cause reference information to be the code 52 if the failure cause is single address bearers only allowed represented by the code 52 or if there is no denial cause;

S313: if the SM Cause does not include any cause, the cause reference information is recorded to be “success”, and the mobile terminal generates a dialing success response message, and transmits the dialing success response message to the host;

S314: the host receives the dialing response message for the first dialing instruction from the mobile terminal, judges whether IPv6 dialing is successful or not, executes S315if IPv6 dialing is successful, otherwise executes S316;

S315: the host performs processing according to the cause reference information in the dialing success response message: the host transmits the IPv4 dialing instruction if the cause is success, does not transmit the IPv4 dialing instruction if the cause is 51, initiates a new IPv4 single-stack dialing instruction at the additional port if the cause is 52, and then turns to S317;

S316: the host performs processing according to the cause reference information in the dialing failure response message: the host falls back for IPv4 single-stack dialing if the cause is 50, falls back for dual-PDP dual-stack dialing if the cause is 52, falls back for IPv6 single-stack dialing if the cause is 28, and transmits another instruction for IPv4 dialing if the cause is None; and

S317: dialing is finished, and the host displays a dialing result.
