Overview

In an early phase of evolved packet system (EPS) construction, operators who own a mature UTRAN or GERAN can protect their investments in legacy CS networks and reduce their investments in the EPS by using the legacy UTRAN or GERAN to provide CS services. Currently, CSFB and voice over IP (VoIP) over IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) are the two standard solutions to provide voice services for UEs on LTE networks. After the technological maturity, industry chain, and deployment costs of the two methods are well weighed, CSFB is chosen to serve as an interim solution for voice service access before mature commercial use of IMS.

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

2 Overview

2.1 Introduction With the CSFB solution, when a UE initiates a CS service, the mobility management entity (MME) instructs the UE to fall back to a legacy CS network before the UE performs the service. CSFB is a session setup procedure. The UE falls back to the CS network before the CS session is set up, and it stays in the CS network during the CS session. For details, see 3GPP TS 23.272 V8.5.0. After receiving CS Fallback Indicator, eNodeBs handle CSFB for different types of CS services in a uniform way. The CS services can be voice services, short message service (SMS), location service (LCS), and emergency calls.

2.2 Benefits CSFB offers the following benefits: l

Facilitates voice services for LTE networks.

l

Helps operators reduce costs by reusing legacy CS networks with no need to deploy an IMS network.

2.3 Application Scenarios CSFB can be used when the CS network of the UTRAN/GERAN has the same or larger coverage area than that of the E-UTRAN. Figure 2-1 shows the network architecture for CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN. Figure 2-1 Network architecture for CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN

Table 2-1 describes the elements of the network architecture in Figure 2-1. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

Table 2-1 Elements of the network architecture for CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN Element

Function

SGs interface

l Is an interface between the MME and the mobile switching center (MSC) server. l Assists mobility management and paging between the EPS and the CS network. l Transmits mobile originated (MO) and mobile terminated (MT) SMS messages. l Transmits messages related to combined attach and combined TAU/ LAU. (TAU is short for tracking area update, and LAU is short for location area update.)

UE

l Is capable of accessing the EPS and accessing the UTRAN, GERAN, or both. l Supports combined EPS/IMSI (IMSI is short for international mobile subscriber identity) attach, combined EPS/IMSI detach, and combined TAU/LAU. l Supports CSFB mechanisms, such as redirection and handover. NOTE CSFB-capable UEs must support SMS over SGs, but UEs that support SMS over SGs are not necessarily CSFB-capable.

MME

l Supports the SGs interface to the MSC/VLR. l Selects the VLR and location area identity (LAI) based on the tracking area identity (TAI) of the serving cell. l Forwards paging messages delivered by the MSC. l Performs public land mobile network (PLMN) selection and reselection. l Supports combined EPS/IMSI attach, combined EPS/IMSI detach, and combined TAU/LAU. l Routes CS signaling. l Supports SMS over SGs. l Supports RAN information management (RIM), which is required when flash CSFB or CCO with NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism. (CCO is short for cell change order and NACC is short for network assisted cell change.)

MSC

l Supports combined EPS/IMSI attach. l Supports SMS over SGs. l Forwards paging messages transmitted through the SGs interface.

Element

Function

E-UTRAN

l Forwards paging messages related to CSFB. l Selects target cells for CSFB. l Supports one or more of the following functions: – PS redirection to UTRAN or GERAN, if PS redirection is used as the CSFB mechanism. – PS handover to UTRAN or GERAN, if PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism. – CCO to GERAN, if CCO is used as the CSFB mechanism. – RIM for acquiring the system information of GERAN cells, if NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism. – RIM for acquiring the system information of UTRAN or GERAN cells, in addition to PS redirection, if flash CSFB is used as the CSFB mechanism.

UTRAN/ GERAN

Supports one or more of the following functions: l Incoming handovers from the E-UTRAN, if PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism. l RIM for delivering the system information of GERAN cells to eNodeBs, if NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism. l RIM for delivering the system information of UTRAN or GERAN cells to eNodeBs, in addition to PS redirection, if flash CSFB is used as the CSFB mechanism. NOTE The UTRAN and GERAN do not need to provide extra functions to support PS redirection. The GERAN does not need to provide extra functions to support CCO.

SGSN

l Supports the follow-up procedures performed for PS handovers, including data forwarding, path switching, RAU, authentication, and encryption. l Supports RIM, which is required when flash CSFB or CCO with NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism.

eCoordinator

Is a network element provided by Huawei, and is optional. The eCoordinator supports information exchange during RIM procedures.

To implement CSFB to provide CS services for E-UTRAN, all MSCs that serve overlapping areas with the E-UTRAN coverage must be upgraded to support functions involving the SGs interfaces between MSCs and MMEs. These functions include combined attach, combined TAU/LAU, paging, and SMS. If the live network uses an MSC pool, only one or multiple MSCs in the MSC pool need to be upgraded to support the SGs interface.

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

2 Overview

2.4.1 CSFB to UTRAN Based on the capabilities of UEs and networks, three fallback mechanisms are available for an eNodeB to perform CSFB to UTRAN: l

R8 PS redirection

After receiving a CS Fallback Indicator, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection Release message that contains frequency information about the target UTRAN. Based on the received frequency information, the UE searches for a UTRAN cell, reads the system information of the UTRAN cell, and initiates initial access and CS sservice setup. l

R9 PS redirection (flash CSFB)

After receiving a CS Fallback Indicator, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection Release message that contains information about a target UTRAN frequency as well as system information about multiple cells on the frequency. Based on the received frequency information, the UE searches for a UTRAN cell. As the UE has obtained the system information about the target cell, the UE directly initiates initial access and CS service setup in the target cell, reducing voice delay. l

PS handover

The UE is handed over to the UTRAN through a PS handover procedure between the eNodeB and the UTRAN. After the handover, the UE initiates CS service setup in the target cell. Table 2-2 describes the requirements of the three CSFB mechanisms on the network side and UEs. Table 2-2 Requirements of CSFB to UTRAN for networks and UEs Element

R8 PS redirection

For details, see 2.4.1 CSFB to UTRAN. l

R9 PS redirection (flash CSFB)

For details, see 2.4.1 CSFB to UTRAN. l

CCO

After receiving a CS Fallback Indicator, the eNodeB sends the UE a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message that contains a target GERAN cell, instructing the UE to access the cell. The UE must acquire synchronization with the cell and read system information about the cell before it can access the cell to initiate a CS service. l

CCO with NACC

If NACC is enabled, the RIM procedure is started during CCO from E-UTRAN to GERAN. With this procedure, the eNodeB acquires system information about the target cell and delivers it to the UE. The UE accesses the target cell to initiate a CS service with no need to read the system information, reducing the delay. l

PS handover

For details, see 2.4.1 CSFB to UTRAN. Table 2-3 describes the requirements of the five CSFB mechanisms for networks and UEs.

If the switch is off, the eNodeB checks the UE capability:

3 CSFB to UTRAN

If the UE supports UTRAN measurements, the eNodeB triggers inter-RAT measurements.

If the UE does not support UTRAN measurements, the eNodeB triggers blind handling.

For details about the measurement and handover, see Overview of Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description. NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, blind handling includes PS HO, redirection, and fast redirection for CSFB to UTRAN and includes PS HO, CCO, NACC, redirection, and fast redirection for CSFB to GERAN in this document.

3.2 Feature Description 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN. This feature is controlled by the UtranCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch. NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the UtranCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

When a UE initiates a CS service in the E-UTRAN, the MME sends the eNodeB an S1-AP message containing CS Fallback Indicator, instructing the eNodeB to transfer the UE with the CS service to a target network. For details about MOC and MTC signaling procedures, see 13.1 Signaling Procedures Involved in CSFB to UTRAN.

3.2.2 TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN. This feature is controlled by the UtranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch. NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the UtranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

This feature is an enhancement to the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN. After the two features are activated, the eNodeB obtains the system information of Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

3 CSFB to UTRAN

UTRAN cells through RIM procedures and then sends UEs the EUTRAN-to-UTRAN redirection messages that contain the system information. In this way, the UEs access the UTRAN cells with no need to read the system information in the cells. This reduces the access delay. For details about how the UTRAN sends the system information to the eNodeB through RIM procedures, see Flash CS Fallback Based on RIM Feature Parameter Description. This feature requires that the eNodeB can obtain UTRAN cell information through the RIM procedures and the networks and UEs involved should comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later. For details about the RIM procedure, see 3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN. Other procedures are the same as those for CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN.

3.2.3 TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN. The UtranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this feature. This feature is a Huawei-proprietary one. To enable this feature, the MME, MSC, and RNC must be all provided by Huawei and support this feature. No IMS needs to be deployed. When a UE initiates a CS service setup request in an LTE network that does not support VoLTE, this feature enables the eNodeB to hand over the UE to the UTRAN through the SRVCC procedure. The procedure has CS resources on the UTRAN prepared in advance and omits certain protocol-defined signaling procedures during access to the UTRAN, shortening the CSFB delay by 1s and improving user experience significantly. For the detailed signaling procedure, see 13.1.5 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN. The measurement procedure and blind handling procedure for this feature are the same as those described in 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN. NOTE

If a UE does not support ultra-flash CSFB, a UE compatibility issue arises. To address this issue, select the UltraFlashCsfbComOptSw option of the GlobalProcSwitch.UeCompatSwitch parameter.

3.2.4 TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN Application Scenarios This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN. This feature is under license control but not under switch controll . This feature works in the following scenarios: l

In a multi-PLMN or national roaming scenario An LAI consists of a PLMN ID and a location area code (LAC). The PLMN ID identifies the CS network that a UE has registered with and will fall back to. If the serving E-UTRAN cell has multiple neighboring UTRAN or GERAN cells with different PLMN IDs or the serving PLMN differs from the target PLMN, the operator can use the CSFB with LAI function so that the UE will preferentially fall back to the PLMN indicated by the LAI.

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

3 CSFB to UTRAN

To prevent a further LAU after CSFB, the eNodeB selects a CSFB target cell with the same LAC as that specified for the UE during attach. Therefore, the CSFB delay does not include the LAU time. The eNodeB derives the LAI from an Initial Context Setup Req or UE Context Mod Req message sent by the MME. This feature is an enhancement to the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN. With this feature, the eNodeB selects frequencies or cells for measurement or blind handling based on LAIs sent by the MME. The following describes target selection for measurement and blind handling.

Handover Measurement l

Selecting frequencies During measurement configuration, the eNodeB selects only inter-RAT frequencies on which the PLMN ID of any neighboring cell is the same as that in the LAI received. The follow-up measurement procedure is similar to that in CS Fallback to UTRAN.

l

Selecting neighboring cells The eNodeB additionally filters neighboring cells in the following order after receiving measurement reports from a UE: a.

Neighboring cells with PLMN IDs and LACs the same as those in the LAI

b.

Neighboring cells with PLMN IDs the same as that in the LAI but LACs different from that in the LAI

If no frequency or neighboring cell can be selected based on the LAI, the process is the same as that when no LAI is received.

Blind Handling l

Selecting frequencies If no neighboring UTRAN cell is configured, the eNodeB preferentially selects the UTRAN frequencies whose PLMN ID is the same as that in the LAI. For details, see 3.3 Triggering Events. If neighboring UTRAN cells are configured, the eNodeB preferentially selects the operating UTRAN frequencies of the neighboring UTRAN cells whose PLMN ID is the same as that in the LAI. The eNodeB then sorts the frequencies based on the blind handover priorities of the neighboring cells and frequency priorities for connected-mode UEs. For details, see 3.3 Triggering Events.

l

Selecting neighboring cells The neighboring cell selection sequence is controlled by the LaiCsfbBlindNCellSelSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoCommOptSwitch parameter. NOTE

When the coverage of an E-UTRAN cell is not completely included in that of a neighboring cell with a configured blind handover priority, you are advised to select the option, thereby ensuring the CSFB success rate and reducing the delay.

When the option is selected, the selection sequence is as follows:

3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering This section describes the CS steering function in the optional feature TDLOFD-001078 EUTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering. For details about the PS steering function in this feature, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description. This feature can be used when service steering is required in a UTRAN with multiple UTRAN frequencies. By setting CS service priorities for UTRAN frequencies, the operator can achieve CSFB from E-UTRAN only to the UTRAN frequency that has the highest CS service priority.

CS Steering in CSFB This function is an enhancement to the CS Fallback to UTRAN feature. The enhancements are as follows: l

Frequencies with the highest CS service priority are preferentially selected for inter-RAT measurement on the UTRAN. This function is controlled by the UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwitch. NOTE

This function is also controlled by the UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwtich. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

If this option is selected, the eNodeB preferentially selects frequencies with the highest CS service priority specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter for measurement. A larger value of this parameter indicates a higher priority. If this parameter is set to Priority_0(Priority 0) for a frequency, the eNodeB does not select this frequency for measurement. The follow-up measurement procedure is the same as that in CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection. l

Frequencies with the highest CS service priority are preferentially selected for blind redirection, or cells on frequencies with the highest CS service priority are preferentially selected as the target cells of blind handovers.

NOTE

This function is also controlled by the UtranFreqLayerBlindSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwtich. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

If this option is selected, the eNodeB preferentially selects a frequency with the highest CS service priority specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter or a cell on the frequency for blind handling. A larger value of this parameter indicates a higher priority. If this parameter is set to Priority_0(Priority 0) for a frequency, this frequency is not involved in frequency prioritization. The follow-up blind handling procedure is the same as that in CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.

LAI-based CS Steering in CSFB This function is an enhancement to the CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN feature. The enhancements are as follows: l

Enhancement in measurement a.

The eNodeB selects inter-RAT frequencies on which the PLMN ID of a neighboring cell is the same as the PLMN ID in the LAI.

b.

Among the selected frequencies, the eNodeB selects frequencies with the highest CS service priority, which is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter.

c.

The follow-up measurement procedure is the same as that in CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.

The difference is that the eNodeB additionally sorts neighboring cells in the following order after receiving measurement reports from a UE:

3.2.6 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN. This feature is controlled by the UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch. NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

This feature is an enhancement to the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN. Operators can set target RATs for UEs in different states at the time when the UEs initiate CS services. There are two types of UEs: l

CS-only UE If the MME uses an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to send a CS Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB, the eNodeB determines that the UE is in idle mode when initiating the CS service. This UE is called a CS-only UE.

l

CS+PS UE If the MME uses a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to send a CS Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB, the eNodeB determines that the UE is performing PS services when initiating the CS service. This UE is called a CS+PS UE.

CS-Only UE The eNodeB selects the target RAT based on the RAT priorities specified by the parameters in Table 3-1. Table 3-1 Target RAT priority parameter list for CSFB of CS-only UEs

NOTE

Parameters in the CSFallBackBlindHoCfg MO are eNodeB-level. When you run ADD CNoperator with CnOperatorId configured to add an operator, parameters in the CSFallBackBlindHoCfg MO are automatically set to default values. Cell-level parameters for inter-RAT handovers are configured by running ADD CELLOPHOCFG. When both CSFallBackBlindHoCfg and CellOpHoCfg are configured, CellOpHoCfg prevails.

The eNodeB can select a neighboring cell or frequency with a lower-priority RAT only if no neighboring cell or frequency with higher-priority RATs is configured. If UTRAN is assigned the highest RAT priority, the eNodeB selects target frequencies based on the setting of the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter. For details, see 3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering. The eNodeB selects the handover policy for CSFB of CS-only UEs based on the setting of the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. PS handover takes priority over redirection.

CS+PS UE If the UE is a CS+PS UE, the eNodeB selects the target RAT based on the RAT priorities specified by the parameters in Table 3-2. Table 3-2 Target RAT priority parameter list for CSFB of CS+PS UEs Target RAT Priority for CSFB of CS+PS UEs

If UTRAN is assigned the highest RAT priority, the eNodeB selects target frequencies based on the setting of the UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. The UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority and UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameters have similar setting principles. For details, see 3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering. The eNodeB selects the handover policy for CSFB based on the setting of the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. PS HO and redirection are selected in descending order.

3.2.7 Load-based CSFB to UTRAN This section describes load-based CSFB to UTRAN. This function is an enhancement to the CS Fallback to UTRAN feature. The CSFBLoadInfoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this function. In load-based CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Multiple Report mode to obtain the load information about UTRAN cells. For details about the RIM procedure, see 3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN. After receiving the load information about UTRAN cells, the eNodeB saves the information and uses the information to determine the target UTRAN cell for the CSFB. In load-based CSFB to UTRAN, the measurement and blind handover procedures are the same as those in the CS Fallback to UTRAN feature. For details, see 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN. When selecting a target cell for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB considers UTRAN cells in the following priority order of load status: normal, congested, and overloaded. Load-based CSFB to UTRAN affects the target cell selection at a later phase. In the measurement phase, if necessary, cell load status does not affect frequency selection: The eNodeB does not select a low-priority frequency because all UTRAN cells on a high-priority frequency are overloaded.

3.3 Triggering Events CSFB triggering is classified into measurement triggering and blind handling triggering.

Measurement Triggering During CSFB, the eNodeB starts UTRAN measurements after it receives a CS Fallback Indicator. The measurement configuration procedure is the same as that for coverage-based handovers from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode. They have different thresholds and time-to-trigger. Table 3-3 lists the thresholds and time-totrigger related to event B1 for CSFB to UTRAN. Other parameters are the same as those related to event B1 for coverage-based inter-frequency handovers. Table 3-3 Parameters related to event B1 for CSFB to UTRAN

Blind Handling Triggering Blind handling is controlled by the following two options. The blind handling function takes effect only when both options are selected. l

BlindHoSwitch of the eNodeB-level ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter

l

BlindHoSwitch of the cell-level CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter

After ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN or GERAN is enabled and the blind handling function takes effect, the eNodeB performs further operations on UEs supporting ultra-flash CSFB based on the UFCsfbBlindHoDisSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter. l

If this option is selected, the blind handling function for UEs supporting ultra-flash CSFB does not take effect. Therefore, the eNodeB performs a measurement-based CSFB procedure for the UEs.

l

If this option is cleared, the eNodeB performs a blind-handling-based CSFB procedure for the UEs supporting ultra-flash CSFB.

When an E-UTRAN coverage area is larger than a UTRAN coverage area and E-UTRAN and UTRAN base stations are co-sited, adaptive blind handover for CSFB can be used. It It estimates the signal strength of the neighboring UTRAN cell based on the signal strength of the serving E-UTRAN cell. The estimation result determines the type of handover. l

If the UE is located in the center of the E-UTRAN cell, the eNodeB performs a blind handling.

l

If the UE is located at the edge of the E-UTRAN cell, the eNodeB performs a measurement before the CSFB decision.

When the blind handling function is enabled: l

If adaptive blind handover for CSFB is disabled, the eNodeB enters the blind handling procedure.

l

If adaptive blind handover for CSFB is enabled, the eNodeB delivers the event A1related measurement configuration after CSFB is started. –

If the eNodeB receives an event A1 report, it determines that the UE is located in the center of the E-UTRAN cell. A blind handling procedure starts.

If the eNodeB does not receive an event A1 report, it determines that the UE is located at the edge of the E-UTRAN cell. A measurement procedure starts.

The threshold for event A1 is specified by the CSFallBackHo.BlindHoA1ThdRsrp parameter, and other event-A1-related principles are the same as these in coverage-based handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.

3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection Measurement Object Selection The selection procedure is as follows: 1.

The eNodeB selects the target RAT. –

If CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN and CS Fallback Steering to GERAN are disabled, the eNodeB selects all frequencies for measurement.

The eNodeB filters frequencies and neighboring cells. When selecting frequencies of a target RAT for measurement, the eNodeB filters the frequencies configured on it. It filters out the frequencies not supported by the UE and then filters out the following neighboring cells on the remaining frequencies:

The procedure shown in Figure 3-2 involves the following data configuration and activities: –

Neighboring UTRAN frequencies are configured in UtranNFreq MOs.

The CS service priority is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. For details about this parameter, see 3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering and 3.2.6 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN.

The priorities of neighboring UTRAN frequencies for connected-mode UEs are specified by the UtranNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter.

The measurement priority for neighboring UTRAN cells can be automatically optimized by ANR. The UTRAN_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter controls the automatic optimization function. It is recommended that this option be selected only if ANR is enabled. n

If this option is selected, the eNodeB automatically optimizes the UtranNCell.NCellMeasPriority parameter for neighboring UTRAN cells. This parameter cannot be modified manually. For details, see ANR Management Feature Parameter Description.

n

If this option is deselected, the measurement priority is specified by the UtranNCell.CellMeasPriority parameter, which must be configured manually.

When the eNodeB selects highest-priority frequencies or cells, the number of frequencies or cells selected is equal to the number of candidates if the number does not exceed the maximum permissible number. If the number of candidates exceeds the maximum permissible number, the eNodeB randomly selects the maximum permissible number of frequencies or cells from the candidates.

The maximum permissible number of frequencies is specified by the CellUeMeasControlCfg.MaxUtranTddMeasFreqNum parameter.

The maximum permissible number of neighboring cells is defined in section 6.4 "RRC multiplicity and type constraint values" of 3GPP TS 36.331 V10.1.0.

Blind Handling Target Selection The selection procedure is as follows: 1.

The eNodeB selects the target RAT. During blind handling for CSFB, the eNodeB selects the target RAT based on the RAT priorities specified by the parameters in Table 3-4. If both eNodeB- and cell-level parameters are set, the cell-level parameter settings prevail. Table 3-4 RAT priority parameters

3.5.1 Basic Decision Method When the CSFB policy is PS handover, SRVCC, or redirection (excluding flash redirection), the eNodeB uses the basic decision method, with no need to obtain system information of the peer. In the decision phase, the eNodeB checks the candidate cell list. Based on the check result, the eNodeB determines whether a CSFB needs to be initiated and, if so, to which cell the UE is to be fallen back to. If the eNodeB receives measurement reports about different RATs, it handles the reports in a first-in first-out manner. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

The eNodeB sends a handover request to the target cell. If the handover request fails, the eNodeB sends the handover request to the next target cell, as described in Table 3-5. Table 3-5 Sequence of handover requests to be sent by the eNodeB Candidate Cell List Generated by

Sequence of Handover Requests

Measurement

A handover request is sent to the cell with the best signal quality.

Blind handover

A handover request is sent to a cell or frequency that has the highest priority. If multiple cells have the highest priority, the eNodeB randomly selects a cell for blind handover.

If the handover request fails in all candidate cells: l

In a measurement-based handover procedure, the eNodeB waits for a next measurement report from the UE.

l

In a blind handover procedure, the eNodeB stops the handover attempt.

3.5.2 Decision Based on System Information When the handover policy (for example, flash redirection) requires the eNodeB to obtain system information about the peer, the eNodeB makes a handover decision based on system information. In this phase, the eNodeB delivers system information about cells about the target RAT to the UE. Therefore, the UE does need to read the system information, shortening the delay of access to the target network. Decision based on system information adheres to the following principles: l

In blind handling scenarios: a.

The eNodeB generates a candidate cell list based on the blind-handover priorities of cells on the target frequencies of redirection and then adds other cells on these frequencies to the list. The UTRAN_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter specifies the sequence of adding other cells. If this switch is on, the eNodeB adds other cells on the target frequencies in descending order of UtranNCell.NCellMeasPriority. If this switch is off, the eNodeB adds cells with the highest measurement priority specified by the UtranNCell.CellMeasPriority parameter.

l

b.

The eNodeB takes the actions described in 3.5.1 Basic Decision Method.

c.

The eNodeB filters out the cells whose system information has not been obtained.

d.

The eNodeB filters cells based on SPID-based mobility management in connected mode. For details, see LOFD-00105401 Camp & Handover Based on SPID in Flexible User Steering Feature Parameter Description.

Operators can set the InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxUtranCellNum parameter to specify the maximum permissible number of UTRAN cells contained in a redirection message. Assume that this parameter is set to N. l

If the number of target cells in the filtering result is greater than N, the eNodeB selects the first N cells.

l

If the number of target cells in the filtering result is smaller than N, the eNodeB selects all these cells.

The eNodeB obtains system information about target cells through the RIM procedure. If a target cell does not support the RIM procedure, the eNodeB cannot obtain system information about that cell.

3.6 Execution In the execution phase, the eNodeB controls the fallback of the UE from the source cell to the target cell or frequency.

3.6.1 CSFB Policy Selection CSFB from E-UTRAN to UTRAN can be based on PS handover, redirection, or flash redirection, as shown in Figure 3-6. This policy selection procedure is based on the assumption that neighboring frequencies and cells have been configured appropriately.

l

If blind redirection for CSFB is required, select the REDIRECTION option of the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.

l

The CSFB protection timer is specified by the CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectionTimer parameter. If the UE does not send inter-RAT measurement reports and stays in the area covered by the eNodeB when the timer expires, the eNodeB performs redirection for CSFB. –

The eNodeB preferentially selects a system that the UE has not measured. For example, if the UE has measured the UTRAN, the eNodeB preferentially selects the GERAN for redirection.

The eNodeB preferentially selects the operating frequency of a cell to which the eNodeB has never attempted to hand over the UE as the target frequency for redirection.

If there is no target frequency available for redirection, the eNodeB stops the procedure. If flash CSFB is enabled in this situation, redirection performed by the eNodeB is referred to as emergency redirection for CSFB. In this scenario, operators must must set the InterRatHoComm.UtranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameter to specify the maximum number of UTRAN cells that can be included in an emergency redirection message.

l

The eNodeB selects the target cell for redirection as it does during blind handling. For details about the selection, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection. –

Blind handover is controlled by the BlindHoSwitch option in the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch and the BlindHoSwitch option in the cell-level parameter CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch. The blind handover function takes effect only when both options are selected.

Adaptive blind handover for CSFB is controlled by the CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch. NOTE

This function is also controlled by the CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the eNodeBlevel parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeBlevel parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

l

If PS handover for CSFB is required, the UtranPsHoSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter and the PS_HO option of the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter must be selected. If either option is cleared, PS handover for CSFB does not take effect. The eNodeB selects redirection as the CSFB policy. If redirection does not take effect either, the eNodeB enters the emergency blind redirection procedure when the CSFB protection timer expires. NOTE

This function is also controlled by the UtranPsHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions.

3 CSFB to UTRAN

During a blind PS handover for CSFB, if the handover preparation in the target cell with the highest blind handover priority fails, the eNodeB tries the cell with the second highest blind handover priority. The eNodeB can try a maximum of eight cells. If all these cells fail in handover preparation, the eNodeB performs emergency blind redirection.

3.6.2 Redirection-based CSFB Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode Redirection-based CSFB for UEs in idle mode has been optimized to accelerate CSFB by shortening end-to-end delay and to reduce the CSFB failure rate due to initial context setup failures. An eNodeB evaluates whether to perform the optimized redirection procedure after it determines to perform a blind handover, as shown in Figure 3-7. Figure 3-7 Redirection-based CSFB optimization for UEs in idle mode

The optimization is controlled by the IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch parameter. For details about how to decide between redirection and flash redirection, see 3.6.1 CSFB Policy Selection. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

3 CSFB to UTRAN

For details about the signaling procedure for redirection-based CSFB optimization for UEs in idle mode, see 13.1.6 Redirection-based CSFB Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode. NOTE

When the optimization switch is turned on and CSFB with LAI to UTRAN or GERAN is enabled, it is recommended that the RsvdSwPara1_bit25 option of the ENBRsvdPara.RsvdSwPara1 parameter be selected to prevent function conflicts.

3.6.3 CSFB Admission Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode A UE in idle mode only has a default bearer for data service, and the allocation/retention priority (ARP) of the default bearer is generally lower. At CSFB to a cell that is congested or cannot accommodate more UEs, this UE cannot preempt resources in the target cell. To increase the CSFB success rate in this scenario, the eNodeB can preferentially admit CSFB UEs. This function is controlled by the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbUserArpCfgSwitch parameter. A larger value of the CsFallbackPolicyCfg.NormalCsfbUserArp parameter indicates a higher probability that UEs in idle mode are admitted to target cells for CSFB. For details about the admission procedure, see Admission and Congestion Control .

3.6.4 Retry and Penalty For CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover, after the eNodeB sends a handover request to the target cell and admission failure, including resource admission failure and non-resource admission failure, occurs, the eNodeB imposes a penalty on the target cell. During the penalty period, the eNodeB does not allow UEs to be handed over to the target cell, avoiding unnecessary handover request signaling and increasing the handover preparation failure rate. After the penalty period, if the target cell meets handover requirements, the eNodeB retries the handover request to the target cell. For details about the penalty and retry, see Intra-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description. If the emergency blind redirection procedure for CSFB is triggered, the eNodeB does not consider whether the target cell is penalized during target cell selection.

3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN The RIM procedure exchanges information between the E-UTRAN and UTRAN. In CSFB procedures, an eNodeB obtains the load information of external UTRAN cells from RNCs through the RIM procedure. When the GlobalProcSwitch.UtranLoadTransChan parameter is set to BASED_ON_RIM, the eNodeB obtains UTRAN cell load information through the RIM procedure for target cell selection. In flash CSFB procedures, an eNodeB obtains the system information (SI) of UTRAN cells from RNCs through the RIM procedure. The RIM procedure may use one of the following information exchange modes: l

Single Report In Single Report mode, the source sends a request, and then the target responds with a single report.

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

3 CSFB to UTRAN

When flash CSFB to UTRAN is activated, the eNodeB sends a RIM request to the RNC and then includes the obtained SI in a redirection message to the UE. If the eNodeB fails to obtain SI from the RNC, the eNodeB no longer sends the RIM request. l

Multiple Report Currently, the eNodeB triggers a RIM procedure in Multiple Report mode only if MMEs comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later. In Multiple Report mode, the target responds with a report after receiving a request from the source, and the target also sends a report to the source each time information about the target changes. When flash CSFB to UTRAN is enabled, the eNodeB sends RIM requests to all neighboring UTRAN cells every 4 seconds no matter whether the eNodeB has CSFB services. To ensure that the SI of a UTRAN neighboring cell can be obtained successfully, the eNodeB starts a 4s timer when it sends a RIM request. –

If the eNodeB receives a response to the RIM request before the timer expires, the eNodeB saves the obtained SI.

If the eNodeB receives a response to the RIM request after the timer expires, the eNodeB considers that an exception has occurred and discards the SI.

If the eNodeB does not receive a response to the RIM request even after the timer expires, the eNodeB sends the RIM request and starts the timer again (called a retry) 2 hours later. If the eNodeB still does not receive a response after 10 retries, the RIM request fails. The interval between the nth and (n-1)th retries is twice the number of the retries n. For example, the first retry occurs 2 hours after the first SI acquisition fails, the second retry occurs 4 hours after the first retry fails, and the third retry occurs 6 hours after the second retry fails. For each retry, the eNodeB sends a RIM request and restarts the timer.

The eNodeB may obtain incorrect SI due to errors in the UTRAN, core network, or transport network. To avoid this situation, the eNodeB randomly selects a time point every day from 02:00 a.m. to 04:00 a.m and deletes all the obtained SI. Then, the eNodeB requests the SI of UTRAN cells through the RIM procedure again. If a neighboring UTRAN cell is faulty or deactivated, the RNC sends the eNodeB an END message, instructing the eNodeB to stop the RIM procedure. The eNodeB then deletes the obtained SI and requests SI again in the next RIM procedure. The RIM procedure can be performed through the core network or eCoordinator.

3.7.1 RIM Procedure Through the Core Network If ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch is set to OFF(Off), the RIM procedure is performed through the core network. As shown in Figure 3-8, the RIM procedure involves the eNodeB, MME, SGSN, and RNC Among these NEs, the MME and the SGSN transfer but do not interpret information. For details, see section 8c "Signalling procedures between RIM SAPs" in 3GPP TS 48.018 V10.0.0.

The RIM procedure through the eCoordinator requires that the corresponding switches of this function be on at all these NEs. During this RIM procedure, each NE does not send RIM messages to the core network or process RIM messages from the core network. The information exchange mode for the eCoordinator-based RIM procedure is controlled by UTRAN_RIM_SWITCH of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimSwitch parameter. l

If this switch is on, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Multiple Report mode to obtain the SI of external UTRAN cells.

NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the GeranCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

This feature has the same principles as CS Fallback to UTRAN, except the preceding parameters. For details about the principles, see 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN.

Handover Measurement The frequency priority used during target frequency selection is specified by the GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority. During the GERAN frequency selection for measurement that is different from the UTRAN frequency selection, if the total number of the GERAN frequencies that can be delivered in the frequency group with the highest priority and the frequencies that have been delivered exceeds the allowed maximum number 32, all frequencies in this frequency group cannot be delivered. The eNodeB determines whether the GERAN frequencies in the frequency group with the second highest priority can be delivered until the number of delivered frequencies is less than or equal to the maximum number of GERAN frequencies allowed for measurement or all frequency groups are determined. In GERAN, no cell measurement priority is configured. If the number of cells working on a frequency exceeds the specification, the eNodeB randomly measures certain cells.

Blind Handling If the eNodeB-level CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri parameter or cell-level CellOpHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri parameter is set to GERAN(GERAN), the eNodeB performs CSFB to GERAN. In case that both eNodeB- and cell-level parameters are configured, the cell-level parameter settings prevail. During blind handling, the target RAT selection procedure is different, depending on whether neighboring GERAN cells are configured. l

l

Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

If neighboring GERAN cells are configured: –

The blind handover priority of a GERAN neighboring cell is specified by the GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.

The GERAN frequency group with the highest priority (specified by the GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter) is selected for blind handling. A larger value indicates a higher priority.

If the priorities of neighboring cells or frequencies are the same, the eNodeB randomly selects a target cell or frequency. Due to uncertainty of random selection, you are not advised to set the priorities to the same to ensure the blind handover success.

If no neighboring GERAN cell is configured: –

Neighboring GERAN frequencies are configured in GeranNfreqGroup MOs.

The PLMN information of the neighboring GERAN frequency is contained in the configured GeranRanShare or GeranExternalCell MOs. Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

4.2.2 TDLOFD-001053 Flash CSFB to GERAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001053 Flash CSFB to GERAN. This feature is controlled by the GeranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch. NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the GeranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

This feature is an enhancement to the optional feature TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN. After this feature is activated, the eNodeB obtains the system information of GERAN cells through the RIM procedure and then sends UEs the EUTRAN-to-GERAN redirection messages that contain the system information. The InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxGeranCellNum parameter specifies the maximum number of GERAN cells that can be contained in a redirection message. With this feature, UEs access the GERAN cells with no need to read the system information in the cells. This reduces the access delay. For details about how the GERAN sends the system information to the eNodeB through RIM procedures, see Interoperability Between GSM and LTE. This feature has the same principles as Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.2.2 TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN.

4.2.3 TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback with LAI to GERAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback with LAI to GERAN. This feature is under license control but not under switch control. This feature has the same principles as CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN. For details, see 3.2.4 TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN.

4.2.4 TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN. This feature is controlled by the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch. NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

The principles of this feature are similar to the principles of the CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN feature. For details about the principles, see 3.2.6 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

4 CSFB to GERAN

The eNodeB selects a handover policy for CSFB of a CS-only UE based on the setting of the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. The eNodeB selects PS handover, CCO, or redirection in descending order of priority. The eNodeB selects a handover policy for CSFB of a CS+PS UE based on the setting of the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. The eNodeB selects PS handover, CCO, or redirection in descending order of priority.

4.2.5 TDLOFD-081203 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-081203 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN. The GeranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this feature. This feature is a Huawei-proprietary one. To enable this feature, the MME, MSC, and eNodeB must be all provided by Huawei and support this feature. No IMS needs to be deployed. When a UE initiates a CS service setup request in an LTE network that does not support VoLTE, this feature enables the eNodeB to hand over the UE to the GERAN through the SRVCC procedure. The procedure has CS resources on the GERAN prepared in advance and omits certain protocol-defined signaling procedures during access to the GERAN, shortening the CSFB delay by 2s. For the detailed signaling procedure, see 13.2.6 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN. The measurement procedure and blind handling procedure for this feature are the same as those described in 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN. This feature works when external GERAN cells support it. l

If all external GERAN cells support this feature, no configuration on the eNodeB is required.

l

If some external GERAN cells do not support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN, the following configurations are required: –

Set UltraFlashCsfbInd to BOOLEAN_FALSE for external GERAN cells that do not support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN.

The ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN capability for external GERAN cells is specified by the GeranExternalCell.UltraFlashCsfbInd parameter.

If the Fast Return to LTE feature is enabled on the GERAN side, the UE can quickly return to the E-UTRAN when it completes the voice service on the GERAN. To achieve this, the Channel Release message must contain E-UTRA frequency information, based on which the UE selects a suitable E-UTRAN cell to camp on. When IratMeasCfgTransSwitch under the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch parameter is on, the eNodeB filters E-UTRA frequencies supported by the UE based on the UE capability to obtain a frequency set. During the SRVCC procedure, the eNodeB sends the target BSC a Handover Required message containing the frequency set, which serves as a reference for the fast return procedure. If the CellDrxPara.DrxForMeasSwitch parameter is set to ON(On), the eNodeB delivers the DRX and gap-assisted measurement configurations if the following conditions are met. In the following scenarios, the UE performs measurements preferentially in consecutive sections of sleep time in DRX to accelerate the measurements and decrease the delay. l

Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

The UE cannot autonomously perform gap-assisted measurements. In this case, the AutoGapSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter is deselected or the interRAT-NeedForGaps IE for the GSM frequency is TRUE in the UE capability message.

The UE supports DRX.

l

The BlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter is cleared or the following conditions are met: –

The BlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter is selected.

The BlindHoSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter is selected.

The UFCsfbBlindHoDisSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter is selected.

To increase the probability of the UE entering sleep time, set DRX parameters to achieve a longer sleep time. However, this setting affects scheduling and therefore decreases cell throughput. For details about how to configure measurement-specific DRX parameters, see DRX and Signaling Control. NOTE

If a UE does not support ultra-flash CSFB, a UE compatibility issue arises. To address this issue, select the UltraFlashCsfbComOptSw option of the GlobalProcSwitch.UeCompatSwitch parameter.

4.3 Triggering CSFB triggering is classified into measurement triggering and blind handling triggering. For details, see 3.3 Triggering Events. When the CSFB_MEAS_DEL_INTERFREQ_SW option of the CellAlgoSwitch.MeasOptAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB implements the following optimization for measurement: l

When the GSM measurement is triggered by CSFB, the eNodeB releases all the interfrequency measurement.

l

After the GSM measurement is triggered by CSFB, starting the inter-frequency measurement is forbidden.

4.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection Measurement Object Selection The frequency priority used during measurement object selection is specified by the GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority. Unlike the UTRAN frequency selection, in the GERAN frequency selection, if the total number of GERAN frequencies in the highest-priority frequency group to be delivered and frequencies that have been delivered exceeds the maximum number 32, the eNodeB does not deliver any frequency in this group. The eNodeB then evaluates whether to deliver the GERAN frequencies in the frequency group with the second highest priority. The evaluation stops when the number of delivered frequencies is less than or equal to the maximum number or all frequency groups have been evaluated. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

4 CSFB to GERAN

For CSFB to GERAN, no cell measurement priority is configured. If the number of cells on a frequency exceeds the maximum permissible number, the eNodeB randomly selects cells for measurement.

Blind Handling Target Selection If CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri is set to GERAN(GERAN), the eNodeB performs CSFB to GERAN. The target RAT selection procedure varies depending on whether neighboring GERAN cells have been configured. l

l

If neighboring GERAN cells have been configured, the eNodeB selects a target cell with the highest blind handover priority or a target frequency group with the highest priority for connected-mode UEs. –

The blind handover priority of a GERAN neighboring cell is specified by the GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.

The GERAN frequency group priority for connected-mode UEs is specified by the GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.

If neighboring cells or frequencies have the same priority, the eNodeB randomly selects one. To prevent uncertainty of random selection and increase the success rate of blind handovers, you are not advised to set an identical priority for cells or frequencies.

If no neighboring GERAN cell has been configured: –

Neighboring GERAN frequency groups are configured in GeranNfreqGroup MOs.

The PLMN information about neighboring GERAN frequencies is contained in the GeranRanShare or GeranExternalCell MOs.

4.5 Decision The decision for CSFB to GERAN is the same as that for CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see 3.5 Decision.

4.6 Execution When a UE in an LTE network needs to perform a voice service but the LTE network does not support VoLTE, a procedure of CSFB to an inter-RAT network is triggered. CSFB from E-UTRAN to GERAN can be based on PS handover, CCO/NACC, redirection, or flash redirection, as shown in Figure 4-2. This policy selection procedure is based on the assumption that neighboring frequencies and cells have been configured appropriately. During a blind PS handover for CSFB, if the handover preparation in the target cell with the highest blind handover priority fails, the eNodeB tries the cell with the second highest blind handover priority. The eNodeB can try a maximum of eight cells. If all these cells fail in handover preparation, the eNodeB performs emergency blind redirection.

The parameters in Figure 4-2 are described as follows: l

The CSFB protection timer is specified by the CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectionTimer parameter. If the UE stays in the area covered by the eNodeB when the timer expires, the eNodeB performs redirection for CSFB. –

The eNodeB preferentially selects a system that the UE has not measured. For example, if the UE has measured the UTRAN, the eNodeB preferentially selects the GERAN for redirection.

If there is no target frequency available for redirection, the eNodeB stops the procedure. If flash CSFB is enabled in this situation, redirection performed by the eNodeB is referred to as CSFB emergency redirection. For this type of CSFB, you must set the InterRatHoComm.GeranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameter to specify the maximum number of GERAN cells that can be contained in a message delivered to the UE during a CSFB emergency redirection procedure.

This function is also controlled by the CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

l

The CSFB policies are controlled by the options of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter: –

The PS handover capability is specified by GeranPsHoSwitch.

The CCO capability is specified by GeranCcoSwitch.

The NACC capability is specified by GeranNaccSwitch.

The redirection capability is specified by GeranRedirectSwitch. When CSFB to GERAN is based on CCO with NACC, the eNodeB obtains SI of external cells from RNCs through the RIM procedure. For details about the RIM procedure, see 4.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and GERAN.

l

The CSFB policy is determined by different parameters, depending on whether TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN is enabled. If this feature is enabled: –

The CSFB policy for UEs in idle mode is specified by the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.

The CSFB policy for UEs in connected mode is specified by the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.

If this feature is disabled, the CSFB policy is specified by the CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter, regardless of whether UEs are in idle or connected mode. If a target cell experiences admission failure during a handover from E-UTRAN to GERAN, the target cell enters the penalty and retry procedure. The penalty and retry procedure from E-UTRAN to GERAN is the same as that from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see 3.6.4 Retry and Penalty.

4.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and GERAN The principles of the RIM procedure between E-UTRAN and GERAN are the same as those described in 3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN. The RIM procedure between E-UTRAN and GERAN is enabled by default because there is no switch for selecting a load information transfer channel. If ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch is set to OFF(Off), the RIM procedure is performed through the core network. If this parameter is set to ON(On), the RIM procedure is performed through the eCoordinator. The two RIM procedures select information exchange modes in the same way.

5 Handover and CSFB Procedure Conflict Optimization

Handover and CSFB Procedure Conflict Optimization When the UE in connected mode initiates the CSFB procedure during S1/X2-based handover preparation, the CSFB procedure conflicts with the handover procedure. The eNodeB preferentially processes the handover procedure and responds to the MME with a CSFB call request failure message. After the handover is complete, the MME re-sends a CSFB request message to the eNodeB to re-initiate the CSFB procedure, as stipulated by 3GPP TS 23.401. If the MME cannot re-send the CSFB reestablishment request in such a scenario, the CSFB call fails. When a UE attaching to the network or in idle mode initiates a TAU procedure, a default bearer is established. The eNodeB considers the UE in connected mode and allows the handover procedure before completing the Attach or TAU procedure. However, the MME allows the handover procedure only after the attach or TAU procedure is completed. Therefore, the MME identifies the handover request from the eNodeB as inappropriate and discards it. The eNodeB waits for the handover request response for 20s (default value specified by the timer). If the eNodeB receives the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the CS Fallback Indicator IE from the MME, the eNodeB rejects the CSFB request and therefore the CSFB call fails. To solve CSFB call failure problems in the preceding scenarios, the eNodeB needs to preferentially process the CSFB procedure upon the conflict. Select the CsfbFlowFirstSwitch option of the GlobalProcSwitch.HoProcCtrlSwitch parameter so that the eNodeB preferentially processes the CSFB procedure during handover preparation. If the eNodeB receives the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the CS Fallback Indicator IE before handover indication is transmitted over the air interface, the eNodeB sends the HANDOVER CANCEL message to the MME to cancel the handover procedure and prioritize the CSFB procedure. NOTE

When the CSFB procedure conflicts with the inter-eNodeB reestablishment with no context, the eNodeB preferentially processes the reestablishment procedure.

CS Fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT

When a UE initiates a CSFB request, the eNodeB cannot determine whether the target inter-RAT network is a CDMA2000 1xRTT network or a GERAN/UTRAN, according to 3GPP Release 9. Therefore, it is not recommended that CSFB to GERAN/ UTRAN be enabled together with CSFB to CDMA2000 1xRTT. That is, it is not recommended that this feature be enabled together with the preceding two features.

Network Impact

7.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN System Capacity In essence, CSFB provides CS service access for E-UTRAN UEs. Considering that the number of UEs that request CS services within an area is relatively stable and is not affected by EPS deployment, CSFB has no impact on the total number of UEs that request CS services within a network. Load-based CSFB to UTRAN prevents PS handover preparation failure caused by UTRAN cell congestion, because the eNodeB selects a target cell based on the UTRAN cell load status. This increases system capacity. CSFB mechanisms affect signaling overhead as follows: l

If redirection is used as the CSFB mechanism, no extra signaling message is required for the UTRAN because each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service. The EPS does not need to interact with the target network. Therefore, signaling overhead is negligible.

l

If PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism, extra signaling messages are required from each NE for the request, preparation, and execution of each handover. However, from the perspective of traffic statistics, the number of UEs that initiate CS services per second per cell during peak hours is far below cell capacity. Therefore, signaling overhead caused by PS handovers is low.

Network Performance Load-based CSFB to UTRAN prevents PS handover preparation failure caused by UTRAN cell congestion, because the eNodeB selects a target cell based on the UTRAN cell load status. This increases the CSFB delay. CSFB affects the access success rate as follows: l

CSFB affects the access success rate as follows: If redirection is used as the CSFB mechanism, each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service.

7 Network Impact

If PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism, the access success rate for CSFB UEs depends on the success rate of handovers to the target RAT. Handover-triggered CS service access has a higher requirement for signal quality compared with normal CS service access. Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is a little lower than that for normal CS UEs in the UTRAN.

7.2 TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN System Capacity In essence, CSFB provides CS service access for E-UTRAN UEs. Considering that the number of UEs that request CS services within an area is relatively stable and is not affected by EPS deployment, CSFB has no impact on the total number of UEs that request CS services within a network. CSFB mechanisms affect signaling overhead as follows: l

Extra signaling messages are required only during eNodeB deployment. Afterward, signaling overhead is negligible because of infrequent system information updates.

Network Performance Flash CSFB to UTRAN decreases the CSFB delay by up to 1.28s because UEs obtain information about the target UTRAN cell for redirection before RRC connections to the LTE network are released. Flash CSFB affects the access success rate as follows: l

Each flash CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service. Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is theoretically the same as that for normal CS UEs in the UTRAN.

l

The RRC connection setup success rate may decrease slightly for the UTRAN. The uplink interference information contained in SIB7 in the UTRAN updates frequently. The RNC cannot update the uplink interference information in the system information sent to the LTE network based on SIB7 in the UTRAN. Therefore, the uplink interference information contained in SIB7 in the LTE network is a default value (–105 dBm). If the actual uplink interference in the UTRAN is greater than –105 dBm, the transmit power on UEs' physical random access channel (PRACH) increases and the RRC connection setup success rate may decrease.

7.3 TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN System Capacity No impact.

Network Performance Compared with standard CSFB, this feature reduces the delay of CSFB to UTRAN by 1 second, improving user experience. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

7.4 TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN System Capacity No impact.

Network Performance CSFB with LAI ensures that a UE can fall back to the CS network to which the UE has attached. This prevents CSFB failure or long delay caused by incorrect target RAT selection and increases the CSFB success rate.

7.5 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN System Capacity No impact.

Network Performance Using this feature, an operator that owns inter-RAT networks can specify the target RAT and frequency for CSFB based on the network plan and network load balancing requirements and thereby improve network operating efficiency. If the frequency with the highest priority is inappropriately configured, for example, if the highest-priority frequency has coverage holes, a UE may fail to measure this frequency and therefore the CSFB delay increases. This feature may conflict with the service-based directed retry decision (DRD) algorithm used for UTRAN, thereby affecting user experience. For example, if a CS service is initiated for a UE that is performing PS services, the eNodeB may select a High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) frequency used in UTRAN for CSFB based on configured policies. However, if the UE requests CS bearer establishment first after the fallback, the UTRAN may transfer the UE to an R99 frequency.

7.6 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering System Capacity No impact.

Network Performance E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering enables an eNodeB to include only UTRAN frequencies with the highest CS service priority in measurement configurations. This prevents redundant measurements, reduces the measurement time, and decreases end-to-end CSFB delay. Consistent settings of the CS service priorities for UTRAN frequencies between the EUTRAN and the UTRAN help prevent further handovers for service steering after CSFB. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

7.7 TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN System Capacity In essence, CSFB provides CS service access for E-UTRAN UEs. Considering that the number of UEs that request CS services within an area is relatively stable and is not affected by EPS deployment, CSFB has no impact on the total number of UEs that request CS services within a network. CSFB mechanisms affect signaling overhead as follows: l

If redirection or CCO without NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism, no extra signaling message is required for the GERAN because each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service. The EPS does not need to interact with the target network. Therefore, signaling overhead is negligible.

l

If CCO with NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism, extra signaling messages are required only during eNodeB deployment.

l

If PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism, extra signaling messages are required from each NE for the request, preparation, and execution of each handover. However, from the perspective of traffic statistics, the number of UEs that initiate CS services per second per cell during peak hours is far below cell capacity. Therefore, signaling overhead caused by PS handovers is low.

Network Performance CSFB affects the access success rate as follows: l

If redirection or CCO/NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism, each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service. Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is theoretically the same as that for normal CS UEs in the GERAN.

Network Performance If flash CSFB is used as the CSFB mechanism, each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service. Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is theoretically the same as that for normal CS UEs in the GERAN. Flash CSFB to GERAN decreases the CSFB delay by up to 2s because UEs obtain information about the target GERAN cell for redirection before RRC connections to the LTE network are released.

7.9 TDLOFD-081203 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN System Capacity When DRX is used for measurements, there is a higher probability that the UE enters sleep time. This affects the scheduling and therefore decreases cell throughput.

Network Performance Compared with standard CSFB, this feature reduces the delay of CSFB to GERAN by 2s, improving user experience.

Set this parameter based on the network plan. The default values are REDIRECTION, CCO_HO, and PS_HO. You are advised to set this parameter based on the UE capabilities and network capabilities. NOTE If none of the three options is selected and measurement-based mobility is enabled, the eNodeB does not perform CSFB for a UE until the CSFB protection timer expires. Then the eNodeB performs a blind redirection for the UE. If blind handover is enabled, the eNodeB directly performs a blind redirection for the UE. CCO_HO applies only to CSFB to GERAN.

If cell B is blocked and the RSCP of cell A meets the handover requirements, the eNodeB transfers the UE to cell A and the UE can access the network through preemption or queuing.

Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2 show sample procedures for CSFB to UTRAN for a mobileoriginated call and CSFB to UTRAN for a mobile-terminated call, respectively. In the examples, the UE was in idle mode before the call and is forced to fall back to the UTRAN using a redirection. NOTE

Figure 8-2 Redirection-based CSFB to UTRAN for a mobile-terminated call

If the UE capability is not included in the Initial Context Setup Request (Initial Context Setup Req in the figures) message, the eNodeB initiates a UE capability transfer procedure immediately after receiving this message from the MME. If the UE capability is included in the Initial Context Setup Request message, the eNodeB initiates a UE capability transfer procedure after sending an Initial Context Setup Response (Initial Context Setup Rsp in the figures) message to the MME. If measurement-based redirection is used for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB delivers the B1related measurement configuration. If blind redirection is used for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB does not deliver the B1-related measurement configuration but sends an RRC Connection Release (RRC Conn Rel in the figures) message to the UE.

To activate blind handovers for a cell under the eNodeB, select the BlindHoSwitch(BlindHoSwitch) option of the parameter. If the BlindHoSwitch(BlindHoSwitch) option is cleared, blind handovers for the cell are invalid.

Measurement-based Handovers for CSFB An appropriate event B1 threshold for CSFB ensures that inter-RAT handovers are triggered in a timely fashion. A high threshold results in a low probability of triggering event B1, thereby affecting user experience. A low threshold results in a high probability of triggering event B1, but causes a high probability of incorrect handover decisions and a low handover success rate. Tune this parameter based on site conditions. Event B1 for CSFB has a time-to-trigger parameter. This parameter lowers the probability of incorrect handover decisions and raises the handover success rate. However, if the value of this parameter is too large, CSFB delay is extended, affecting user experience. Tune this parameter based on site conditions. Appropriate settings of the threshold and time-to-trigger for event B1 raise the handover success rate and lower the call drop rate. The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the CSFallBackHo MO. Related parameters are in the CSFallBackHo MO.

CSFB Utran EventB1 Time To Trig

CSFallBac kHo.CsfbH oUtranTim eToTrig

Network plan (negotiatio n not required)

Set this parameter based on the network plan. This parameter specifies the time-to-trigger for event B1 in CSFB to UTRAN. When CSFB to UTRAN is required, set this parameter, which is used by UEs as one of the conditions for triggering event B1. When a UE detects that the signal quality in at least one UTRAN cell meets the entering condition, it does not immediately send a measurement report to the eNodeB. Instead, the UE sends a measurement report only when the signal quality has been meeting the entering condition throughout a period defined by this parameter. This parameter helps decrease the number of occasionally triggered event reports, the average number of handovers, and the number of incorrect handovers, preventing unnecessary handovers.

CSFB UTRAN EventB1 RSCP Trigger Threshold

CSFallBac kHo.CsfbH oUtranB1T hdRscp

Network plan (negotiatio n not required)

Set this parameter based on the network plan. This parameter specifies the RSCP threshold for event B1 in CSFB to UTRAN. When CSFB to UTRAN is required, set this parameter, which is used by UEs as one of the conditions for triggering event B1. This parameter specifies the minimum required RSCP of the signal quality provided by a UTRAN cell when a CSFB procedure can be initiated toward this cell. Event B1 is triggered when the RSCP measured by the UE is higher than the value of this parameter and all other conditions are also met.

CSFB UTRAN EventB1 ECN0 Trigger Threshold

CSFallBac kHo.CsfbH oUtranB1T hdEcn0

Network plan (negotiatio n not required)

Indicates the Ec/No threshold for event B1, which is used in CS fallback to UTRAN. When CSFB to UTRAN is required, set this parameter, which is used by UEs as one of the conditions for triggering event B1. This parameter specifies the minimum required Ec/No of the signal quality provided by a UTRAN cell when a CSFB procedure can be initiated toward this cell. Event B1 is triggered when the Ec/No measured by the UE is higher than the value of this parameter and all other conditions are also met. Set this parameter to a large value for a cell with a large signal fading variance in order to reduce the probability of unnecessary handovers. Set this parameter to a small value for a cell with a small signal fading variance in order to ensure timely handovers.

8.2 RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to UTRAN 8.2.1 When to Use RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to UTRAN It is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the Huawei-proprietary eCoordinator when the following conditions are met: l

Both the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are provided by Huawei and are connected to the same eCoordinator.

l

The core network that the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are connected to does not support the RIM procedure or is not enabled with the RIM procedure.

To perform the RIM procedure through the eCoordinator, set ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to ON(On). In other conditions, it is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the core network. In this case, set ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to OFF(Off). If load-based CSFB to UTRAN is used, you need to obtain load information about UTRAN cells through the RIM procedures. If flash CSFB to UTRAN is used, you need to obtain system information about UTRAN cells through the RIM procedures.

8.2.2 Required Information Check whether the RNC, MME, and SGSN support the RIM procedure, and whether an eCoordinator has been deployed.

8.2.3 Requirements Operating Environment If the RIM procedure is performed through the core network, the core-network equipment must support this feature: l

For the Huawei EPC, the EPC version for eRAN3.0 is required. If the EPC version is not for eRAN3.0, messages may not be parsed.

l

For a third party's EPC, the EPC must support CSFB complying with 3GPP Release 9. Check that software versions for the EPC are correct.

If the RIM procedure is performed through the eCoordinator, the RNC/BSC, eNodeB, and eCoordinator must all be provided by Huawei and with the switch for supporting the RIM procedure through eCoordinator turned on. To facilitate connection setup for RIM message exchange, you must enable RIM in the UTRAN before you enable it in the E-UTRAN.

8.4.6 Activation Observation Signaling Observation The activation observation procedure for ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN is as follows: 1.

Enable a UE to camp on an E-UTRAN cell and originate a voice call so that the UE falls back to a UTRAN cell and completes the call.

2.

Enable a UE to camp on an E-UTRAN cell and receive a voice call so that the UE falls back to a UTRAN cell and completes the call.

Figure 8-6 shows the ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN signaling procedure for a mobileoriginated call. Figure 8-7 shows the ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN signaling procedure for a mobileterminated call. The UEs in the left and right sides of the figure are the same UE. The messages on the UTRAN side are only for reference. The UE was in idle mode before the call. If the UE capability is not included in the Initial Context Setup Request (Initial Context Setup Req in the figures) message, the eNodeB initiates a UE capability transfer procedure immediately after receiving this message from the MME. If the UE capability is included in the Initial Context Setup Request message, the eNodeB initiates a UE capability transfer procedure after sending an Initial Context Setup Response (Initial Context Setup Rsp in the figures) message to the MME.

Handove r Allowed Switch

CellAlg oSwitch .HoAllo wedSwit ch

Network plan (negotiation not required)

When GSM and LTE cells are co-sited with the same coverage, you can enable CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch. The eNodeB selects a measurement or blind handover to GSM based on the event A1 report submitted by a UE.

CSFB Adaptive Blind Ho A1 RSRP Trigger Threshol d

CSFall BackHo .BlindH oA1Thd Rsrp

Network plan (negotiation not required)

This parameter specifies the RSRP threshold of the serving cell above which a CSFB-triggered adaptive blind handover is triggered. If the RSRP value measured by a UE exceeds this threshold, the UE submits a event A1 report. If the eNodeB receives an event A1 report, it directly enters the blind handling procedure. If the eNodeB does not receive an event A1 report (the UE is located at the edge of the E-UTRAN cell), it enters the measurement procedure. The target measurement RAT depends on configured RAT priorities and UE capabilities. On the live network, set this parameter based on network coverage.

Figure 8-9 Redirection-based CSFB to GERAN for a mobile-originated call

The signaling procedure for PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN is different from the signaling procedure for redirection-based CSFB to GERAN. The difference is as follows: In PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN, the eNodeB performs a PS handover procedure rather than an RRC connection release procedure after the UE reports measurement results to the eNodeB. For details about the signaling procedure of PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN, see 8.1.6 Activation Observation. In the signaling procedure of PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN, the CSFB indication flag is true and the CSFB target is GERAN in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message. In the signaling procedure for PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN, the cs-FallbackIndicator IE is TRUE and the CSFB target is GERAN in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message. Figure 8-10 shows the signaling procedure for CCO/NACC-based CFSB to GERAN for a mobile-originated call. In the CSFB, handover preparation is absent. The MobilityFromEUTRACommand message carries the CCO/NACC information and the CSFB target is GERAN.

Network plan (negotiatio n not required)

Set this parameter based on the network plan.

CSFB GERAN EventB1 Trigger Threshold

CSFallBac kHo.CsfbH oGeranB1 Thd

Network plan (negotiatio n not required)

Set this parameter based on the network plan. This parameter specifies the RSSI threshold for event B1 in CSFB to GERAN. Event B1 is triggered when the measured RSSI of a GERAN cell reaches the value of this parameter and all other conditions are also met.

CSFB Geran EventB1 Time To Trig

CSFallBac kHo.CsfbH oGeranTim eToTrig

Network plan (negotiatio n not required)

Set this parameter based on the network plan. This parameter specifies the time-to-trigger for event B1 in CSFB to GERAN. When CSFB to GERAN is required, set this parameter, which is used by UEs as one of the conditions for triggering event B1. When a UE detects that the signal quality in at least one GERAN cell meets the entering condition, it does not immediately send a measurement report to the eNodeB. Instead, the UE sends a measurement report only when the signal quality has been meeting the entering condition throughout a period defined by this parameter. This parameter helps decrease the number of occasionally triggered event reports, the average number of handovers, and the number of incorrect handovers, preventing unnecessary handovers.

8.9 RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to GERAN 8.9.1 When to Use RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to GERAN It is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the Huawei-proprietary eCoordinator when the following conditions are met: l

Both the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are provided by Huawei and are connected to the same eCoordinator.

l

The core network that the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are connected to does not support the RIM procedure or is not enabled with the RIM procedure.

To perform the RIM procedure through the eCoordinator, set ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to ON(On). Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

In other conditions, it is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the core network. In this case, set ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to OFF(Off).

8.9.2 Required Information Check whether the BSC, MME, and SGSN support the RIM procedure, and whether an eCoordinator has been deployed.

8.9.3 Requirements Operating Environment If the RIM procedure is performed through the core network, the core-network equipment must support this feature: l

For the Huawei EPC, the EPC version for eRAN3.0 is required. If the EPC version is not for eRAN3.0, messages may not be parsed.

l

For a third party's EPC, the EPC must support CSFB complying with 3GPP Release 8. Check that software versions for the EPC are correct.

l

The BSC, MME, and SGSN must support the RIM procedures. If one of the NEs does not support, the RIM procedures fail. NOTE

In a multioperator core network (MOCN) scenario, the eNodeB preferentially selects the link for the primary operator when sending an RIM request. If the RIM procedure fails, the eNodeB no longer attempts to send the RIM request on other links.

If the RIM procedure is performed through the eCoordinator, the RNC/BSC, eNodeB, and eCoordinator must all be provided by Huawei and with the switch for supporting the RIM procedures through eCoordinator turned on.

NOTE

This feature is also controlled by the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch. The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter is cleared. The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the cell-level parameter.

Step 2 Run the MOD CSFALLBACKBLINDHOCFG command with the Highest priority InterRat, Second priority InterRat, CSFB Highest priority InterRat for Idle UE, and CSFB Second priority InterRat for Idle UE parameters to UTRAN, GERAN, GERAN, and UTRAN, respectively. Step 3 Run the MOD CSFALLBACKPOLICYCFG command with the PS_HO option of the CSFB handover policy Configuration parameter and the REDIRECTION option of the CSFB handover policy Configuration for idle ue parameter selected. ----End

8.13.6 Activation Observation The signaling procedure is the same as that for CSFB to GERAN. After CS Fallback Steering to GERAN is used, check whether it works as expected. The activation observation procedure for CSFB steering to GERAN is as follows: 1.

Check that the UE supports redirection-based CSFB and handover-based CSFB.

2.

Set CSFB policies for RRC_IDLE UEs and RRC_CONNECTED UEs to redirection and handover, respectively.

3.

Enable the UE to initiate a voice call in idle mode and in connected mode.

4.

Observe the counters L.CSFB.E2G, L.RRCRedirection.E2G.CSFB, and L.IRATHO.E2G.CSFB.ExecAttOut. If the values of the counters increase by 2, 1, and 1, respectively, CSFB steering to GERAN has been activated.

If TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN has also been activated, the activation observation procedure is as follows: 1.

Check that the UE supports CSFB to GERAN and CSFB to UTRAN.

2.

Set GERAN as the highest-priority RAT for CSFB triggered for RRC_IDLE UEs and UTRAN as the highest-priority RAT for CSFB triggered for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

3.

Enable the UE to initiate a voice call in idle mode and in connected mode.

4.

Observe the counters L.CSFB.E2W and L.CSFB.E2G. If both the values increase by 1, both CSFB steering to UTRAN and CSFB steering to GERAN have been activated.

l

If so, go to Step 2.

l

If not, replace the UE with one that supports combined EPS/IMSI attach, and try again.

Step 2 Check whether the traced Attach Accept message includes the IE cs-domain-not-available. l

If it does, go to Step 3.

l

If not, contact Huawei technical support.

Step 3 Contact the vendors of core network NEs to ensure the following: l

Attach procedures to the CS domain are allowed according to the subscription data on the HSS.

l

The core network supports CSFB.

l

The SGs interface is correctly configured.

----End

8.14.2 eNodeB Receiving No Measurement Report Fault Description An eNodeB delivers an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message for measurement control to a UE that has initiated a voice call in the LTE network, but the eNodeB does not receive a measurement report.

Fault Handling Step 1 Check whether the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message contains B1-related measurement configurations and whether the information about the inter-RAT systems in the configuration is correct. l

If it is, go to Step 2

l

If not, rectify the faults and try again.

Step 2 Check whether the coverage of the inter-RAT neighboring cell is satisfactory. If the coverage is unsatisfactory, adjust B1-related parameters or use CSFB based on blind handovers. For details about how to adjust B1-related parameters, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode. ----End

8.14.3 CSFB Blind Handover Failure Fault Description Even when blind handovers are configured as the preferred choice according to the operator policies, instead of triggering a blind handover for CSFB, an eNodeB delivers an inter-RAT measurement configuration to a UE that has initiated a voice call.

Fault Handling Step 1 Run the LST ENODEBALGOSWITCH command and check the setting of BlindHoSwitch under the Handover Mode Switch parameter. If BlindHoSwitch is Off, run the MOD Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

Step 3 Run the LST UTRANNCELL command and check whether Blind handover priority is 0 for a neighboring UTRAN cell that is supposed to accept incoming blind handovers. l

If Blind handover priority is 0, blind handovers to this cell are not allowed. In this case, run the MOD UTRANNCELL command with the Blind handover priority parameter set to a value other than 0.

l

If Blind handover priority is not 0, contact Huawei technical support.

Step 4 Run the LST GERANNCELL command and check whether Blind handover priority is 0 for a neighboring GERAN cell that is supposed to accept incoming blind handovers. l

If Blind handover priority is 0, blind handovers to this cell are not allowed. In this case, run the MOD GERANNCELL command with the Blind handover priority parameter set to a value other than 0.

Meaning: Indicates the circuit switched (CS) priority of the neighboring UTRAN frequency, that is, the priority for the neighboring UTRAN frequency to carry CS services. During CSFB-based CS service handovers with UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch being on, the eNodeB selects and delivers the neighboring UTRAN frequencies based on the CS priorities when starting measurements. The eNodeB preferentially delivers the UTRAN frequency with the highest CS priority to measure. During CSFB-based CS service handovers with UtranFreqLayerBlindSwitch being on, the eNodeB selects the target cells for blind handovers on neighboring UTRAN frequencies based on the CS priorities and preferentially selects the target cell for blind handovers on the neighboring UTRAN frequency with the highest CS priorities. If this parameter is set to Priority_0, this neighboring UTRAN frequency is not prioritized.

Meaning: Indicates the priority for the neighboring UTRAN frequency to carry CS+PS combined services. In measurement-based CSFB to UTRAN, if UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch and UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch are turned on, the eNodeB determines the UTRAN frequency to be delivered to a UE in RRC_CONNECTED mode based on the priority specified by this parameter. The eNodeB preferentially delivers the UTRAN frequency with the highest CS+PS combined service priority to the UE. In blind CSFB to UTRAN, if UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch and UtranFreqLayerBlindSwitch are turned on, the target cell is selected based on the priority specified by this parameter. The cell on the UTRAN frequency with the highest priority is preferentially selected. If this parameter is set to Priority_0, the UTRAN frequency is not included in priority arrangement for neighboring UTRAN frequencies to carry CS+PS combined services.

The RSCP values are relatively stable, while the Ec/No values fluctuate with the network load. The value BOTH applies only to UEs complying with 3GPP Release 10. For UEs complying with 3GPP Release 8 or 9, the value BOTH is equivalent to the value RSCP. QoE-based handover algorithms do not apply to UEs complying with 3GPP Release 8 and Release 9, and the parameter value is fixed as ECN0.

When CS fallback to UTRAN is required, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation about whether to trigger event B1. This parameter indicates the Ec/N0 requirement for the UTRAN cells to be included in the measurement report. A UE sends a measurement report related to event B1 to the eNodeB when the Ec/N0 in at least one UTRAN cell exceeds this threshold and other triggering conditions are met. For a cell with large signal fading variance, set this parameter to a large value to prevent unnecessary handovers. For a cell with small signal fading variance, set this parameter to a small value to ensure timely handovers. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.

When CS fallback to UTRAN is applicable, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation of whether to trigger event B1. When detecting that the signal quality in at least one UTRAN cell meets the entering condition, the UE does not send a measurement report to the eNodeB immediately. Instead, the UE sends a report only when the signal quality continuously meets the entering condition during the time-totrigger. This parameter helps decrease the number of occasionally triggered event reports, the average number of handovers, and the number of wrong handovers, and thus helps to prevent unnecessary handovers. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.

a BSC contains the IE IRAT Measurement Configuration. GeranAnrMcOptSwitch: This option controls whether measurement configuration optimization takes effect when ANR with GERAN is enabled. If this option is deselected, the optimization does not take effect. That is, when an eNodeB delivers measurement configuration to UEs to perform CGI reading for ANR with GERAN, the carrierFreqs IE can contain multiple GERAN frequencies. If this option is selected, the optimization takes effect, and the carrierFreqs IE contains only one GERAN frequency. InactDiscardSwitch: This option specifies whether to terminate the ongoing signaling flow when the UE inactivity timer expires. If this option is deselected, the ongoing flow is terminated and the eNodeB directly releases the UE. If this option is selected, the ongoing flow is not terminated and the timer is restarted. SRVCCHoBasedUeCapSwitch: If this option is selected, the eNodeB determines whether to trigger an SRVCC based only on UE's SRVCC capabilities, not the SRVCCOperationPossible IE that the MME sends to the eNodeB. If this option is deselected, the eNodeB determines whether to trigger an SRVCCbased handover based on the SRVCCOperationPossible IE that the MME sends to the eNodeB. L2GPLMNChooseOptSwitch: This option specifies whether to enable target PLMN ID optimization for handovers to GERAN.

CS Fall Back to GERAN

Meaning: Indicates the time-to-trigger for event B1 that is used in CS fallback to GERAN. When CS fallback to GERAN is applicable, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation of whether to trigger event B1. When detecting that the signal quality in at least one GERAN cell meets the entering condition, the UE does not send a measurement report to the eNodeB immediately. Instead, the UE sends a report only when the signal quality continuously meets the entering condition during the time-totrigger. This parameter helps decrease the number of occasionally triggered event reports, the average number of handovers, and the number of wrong handovers, and thus helps to prevent unnecessary handovers. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.

13.1 Signaling Procedures Involved in CSFB to UTRAN 13.1.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure The combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is performed by exchanging NAS messages. Therefore, this procedure is transparent to the eNodeBs. After a CSFB-capable UE is powered on in the E-UTRAN, the UE initiates a combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure, as shown in Figure 13-1.

NOTE

The symbols that appear in signaling procedure figures throughout this document are explained as follows: l An arrow denotes the transmission of a message. l A plain box denotes a mandatory procedure. l A dashed box denotes an optional procedure.

The combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is described as follows: 1.

The UE sends a Combined attach request message to the MME, requesting a combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure. This message also indicates whether the CSFB or SMS over SGs function is required.

2.

The EPS attach procedure is performed in the same way as it is performed within the LTE system. For details, see section 5.3.2 in 3GPP TS 23.401 V9.2.0.

3.

The MME allocates an LAI to the UE, and then it finds the MSC/VLR for the UE based on the LAI. If multiple PLMNs are available for the CS domain, the MME selects a PLMN based on the selected PLMN information reported by the eNodeB. Then, the MME sends the MSC/VLR a Location update request message, which contains the new LAI, IMSI, MME name, and location update type.

4.

The MSC/VLR performs the location update procedure in the CS domain.

5.

The MSC/VLR responds with a Location update accept message that contains information about the VLR and temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI). The location update procedure is successful.

6.

The UE is informed that the combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is successful. If the network supports SMS over SGs but not CSFB, the message transmitted to the UE contains the information element (IE) SMS-only. The message indicates that the combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is successful but only SMS is supported.

13.1.2 CSFB Based on PS Handover During CSFB based on PS handover, the UE is transferred from the E-UTRAN to the UTRAN by performing a PS handover. It then initiates a CS service in the UTRAN.

2.

The MME sends an S1-AP message to instruct the eNodeB to initiate a CSFB procedure. If the MME supports the LAI-related feature, the MME also delivers the LAI to the eNodeB.

3.

The eNodeB determines whether to perform a blind handover based on the UE capabilities, parameters settings, and algorithm policies.

4.

The eNodeB initiates the preparation phase for a PS handover. If the preparation is successful, the eNodeB instructs the UE to perform a handover. NOTE

For details about how the eNodeB selects a target cell and a CSFB policy, see 3.5 Decision and 3.6 Execution.

5.

After the handover, the UE may initiate a CS call establishment procedure with an LAU or combined RAU/LAU procedure in the UTRAN.

6.

The follow-up procedures are performed for the PS handover. These procedures include data forwarding, path switching, and RAU. This step is performed together with 5.

1.

The MSC sends a Paging Request message from the CS domain to the MME over the SGs interface. Then, either of the following occurs: –

If the UE is in idle mode, the MME sends a Paging message to the eNodeB. Then the eNodeB sends a Paging message over the Uu interface to inform the UE of an incoming call from the CS domain.

If the UE is in active mode, the MME sends the UE an NAS message to inform the UE of an incoming call from the CS domain.

2.

The UE sends an Extended Service Request message containing a CS Fallback Indicator after receiving the paging message from the CS domain.

3.

The MME instructs the eNodeB over the S1 interface to perform CSFB.

4.

The subsequent steps are similar to steps 3 through 6 in the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-originated calls. The only difference is that the UE sends a Paging Response message from the UTRAN cell.

13.1.3 CSFB Based on Redirection During CSFB based on PS redirection, the eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator, and then it sends an RRC Connection Release message to release the UE. The message contains information about a target UTRAN frequency, reducing the time for the UE to search for a target network. After selecting the UTRAN, the UE acquires the system information of a UTRAN cell. Then, the UE performs initial access to the cell to initiate a CS service. For the UTRAN, the UE is an initially accessing user.

Steps 1 to 4b: The UE initiates voice services (mobile-originated calls and mobile-terminated calls) on the E-UTRAN. The eNodeB triggers SRVCC to UTRAN. Special treatment has been applied to the MME and MSC to ensure a proper procedure. Step 3b: The RNC receives an SRVCC request and prepares CS resources. Step 4: The eNodeB receives the handover command transferred over the core network and sends it to the UE. Step 5: The UE is transferred to the UTRAN. Steps 6 to 9: The UE establishes voice services on the UTRAN. Signaling is transmitted at a speed of 13.6 kbit/s, which accelerates the transfer and reduces delays. As shown in the preceding figures, Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN excludes the following procedures: l

Authentication procedure The UE has been authenticated in the LTE system before CSFB to UTRAN.

l

Ciphering procedure The UE has performed ciphering as instructed during SRVCC. Therefore, the ciphering procedure is not required after the UE is transferred to the UTRAN.

13.1.6 Redirection-based CSFB Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode After the eNodeB receives an initial context setup request with a CS Fallback Indicator from the MME, the eNodeB does not perform the UE capability query, security mode activation, or RRC connection reconfiguration procedure with dashed lines in the following figure. If the eNodeB does not obtain the UE capability before CSFB execution, the eNodeB still needs to initiate a UE capability query procedure.

MME and the MSC over the SGs interface. Because a UE does not require fallback to the UTRAN to perform an SMS service, the SMS over SGs function can be used in a place covered only by the E-UTRAN. As the SMS service is transparent to the eNodeB, the procedure is not described in this document. For details about the procedure, see section 8.2 in 3GPP TS 23.272 V10.0.0.

13.1.8 Emergency Call The CSFB procedure for an emergency call is the same as the CSFB procedure for a normal mobile-originated voice service. The UE sends an RRC Connection Request message over the Uu interface or the MME sends an Initial Context Setup Request or UE Context Modification Request message, which contains an IE to inform the eNodeB of the service type. Emergency calls take precedence over other services in the eNodeB. If PS handover is used for CSFB for emergency calls, the eNodeB does not restrict the cells in the handover restriction list when selecting the target cell. The eNodeB sends the RNC a handover request with the IE CSFB high priority in the IE Source to Target Transparent Container. This request informs the RNC that a CSFB procedure is required for an emergency call. Upon receiving the information, the RNC preferentially processes this call when using related algorithms such as admission control. If redirection is used for CSFB for emergency calls, the RRC Connection Request message that the UE sends when accessing the UTRAN contains the indication of a CS emergency call. The UTRAN will treat this call as a common CS emergency call. For details about admission and preemption of emergency calls, see Emergency Call.

13.1.9 CSFB for LCS After a UE initiates an LCS request, the MME performs an attach or combined TAU/LAU procedure to inform the UE of the LCS capability of the EPS. If the EPS does not support LCS, the UE falls back to the UTRAN to initiate LCS under the control of the EPS. The CSFB procedure is the same as the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN for mobile-originated calls. If the UTRAN initiates an LCS request towards a UE camping on an E-UTRAN cell, the MSC sends an LCS indicator to the MME over the SGs interface. Then, the MME instructs the eNodeB to perform CSFB for the UE. The CSFB procedure is the same as the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN for mobile-terminated calls. The UE performs the LCS service after the fallback to the UTRAN. For details about the CSFB procedure for LCS, see section 8.3 in 3GPP TS 23.272 V10.0.0 and LCS.

13.2 Signaling Procedures Involved in CSFB to GERAN 13.2.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure The combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure for CSFB to GERAN is the same as that for CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see 13.1.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure. Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

13.2.2 CSFB Based on PS Handover During CSFB based on PS handover, the UE is transferred from the E-UTRAN to the GERAN by performing a PS handover. It then initiates a CS service in the GERAN. If the GERAN or UE does not support dual transfer mode (DTM, in which CS and PS services run simultaneously), the ongoing PS services of the UE are suspended before a CS service is set up.

If the Fast Return to LTE feature is enabled on the GERAN side, the UE can quickly return to the E-UTRAN when it completes the voice service on the GERAN. To achieve this, the Channel Release message must contain E-UTRA frequency information, based on which the UE selects a suitable E-UTRAN cell to camp on. When IratMeasCfgTransSwitch is set on, the eNodeB filters E-UTRA frequencies supported by the UE based on the UE capability to obtain a frequency set. During the SRVCC procedure, the eNodeB sends the target BSC a Handover Required message containing the frequency set, which serves as a reference for the fast return procedure. When DrxForMeasSwitch is set to ON, the eNodeB supports specific DRX parameters for measurements during the delivery of measurement configurations about GERAN. Measurements are accelerated for UEs that support DRX-based measurements. Other UEs still use the gap-assisted measurement method.

13.2.7 Signaling Procedures for SMS SMS services are unknown to the eNodeB because SMS messages are encapsulated in NAS messages. During interworking with the GERAN, SMS messages are exchanged between the MME and the MSC over the SGs interface. Because a UE does not require fallback to the GERAN to perform an SMS service, the SMS over SGs function can be used in a place covered only by the E-UTRAN. As the SMS service is transparent to the eNodeB, the procedure is not described in this document. For details about the procedure, see section 8.2 in 3GPP TS 23.272 V10.0.0.

13.2.8 Emergency Call The CSFB procedure for an emergency call is the same as the CSFB procedure for a normal mobile-originated voice service. The UE sends an RRC Connection Request message over the Uu interface or the MME sends an Initial Context Setup Request or UE Context Modification Request message, which contains an IE to inform the eNodeB of the service type. Emergency calls take precedence over other services in the eNodeB. If PS handover is used for CSFB for emergency calls, the eNodeB does not restrict the cells in the handover restriction list when selecting the target cell. If redirection is used for CSFB for emergency calls, the Channel Request message that the UE sends when accessing the GERAN contains the indication of a CS emergency call. The GERAN will treat this call as a common CS emergency call. For details about admission and preemption of emergency calls, see Emergency Call.

13.2.9 CSFB for LCS After a UE initiates an LCS request, the MME performs an attach or combined TAU/LAU procedure to inform the UE of the LCS capability of the EPS. If the EPS does not support Issue 02 (2016-04-20)

eRAN TDD CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description

13 Appendix

LCS, the UE falls back to the GERAN to initiate LCS under the control of the EPS. The CSFB procedure is the same as the procedure for CSFB to GERAN for mobile-originated calls. If the GERAN initiates an LCS request towards a UE camping on an E-UTRAN cell, the MSC sends an LCS indicator to the MME over the SGs interface. Then, the MME instructs the eNodeB to perform CSFB for the UE. The CSFB procedure is the same as the procedure for CSFB to GERAN for mobile-terminated calls. The UE performs the LCS service after the fallback to the GERAN. For details about the CSFB procedure for LCS, see section 8.3 in 3GPP TS 23.272 V10.0.0 and LCS.
