2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
As wireless data services rapidly grow and conditions mature for LTE commercial use, telecom
operators are beginning to execute plans to build LTE networks upon existing UMTS networks. These
two types of networks will have to coexist for a long time, so interoperability between UMTS and LTE is
important. This feature helps make the most of existing network equipment, provide diversified services,
and achieve smooth network evolution. Huawei products support interoperability between UMTS and
time division duplex (TDD) LTE and between UMTS and frequency division duplex (FDD) LTE. However,
interoperability between UMTS and LTE is not currently an option if both TDD LTE and FDD LTE are
deployed.
2.2 Function Classification

Interoperability between UMTS and LTE functions are classified by UE status, as shown in Table 2-1.

Currently, LTE does not support voice services. Therefore, interoperability between UMTS and LTE does not address
UMTS-to-LTE handovers of CS services or CS/PS combined services.
2.3 Deployment Phases of Interoperability Between UMTS and

LTE
2.3.1 Phase 1: Only Data Cards, Only Data Services, LTE Coverage
Still Incomplete
Description
UMTS/LTE dual-mode UEs only support PS services and PS handovers.
No IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) has been deployed on the LTE network and therefore VoIP
services are not supported.
LTE coverage is still incomplete.
UE camping policy
Issue 04 (2013-05-10)

2-1
WCDMA RAN
2 Overview
An LTE-first policy is recommended for UE camping, because commercial UMTS/LTE dual-mode UEs
are all in data-card mode.
Cell reselection is performed to shift UEs in idle mode or the CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state between
UMTS and LTE. For details, see chapter 3 "Cell Reselection Between UMTS and LTE."
CS service policy
CS services are not supported, because commercial UMTS/LTE dual-mode UEs are all in data-card
mode.
PS service policy
Since LTE coverage is still incomplete, when a UE processing a PS service on the LTE network moves
out of the LTE coverage area, a PS handover or redirection to the UMTS network is performed for the
UE and the PS service. For details, see section 4.1 "LTE-to-UMTS PS Redirections and Handovers."
When a UE processing a PS service on the UMTS network moves to a UMTS/LTE overlapping

coverage area, a PS handover or redirection to the LTE network is not performed.
2.3.2 Phase 2: Not Only Data Cards, Only Data Services, CSFB
Supported, LTE Coverage Still Incomplete
Description
Commercial UMTS/LTE dual-mode UEs in data-card mode and non-data-card mode are in use.
No IMS has been deployed on the LTE network and therefore VoIP services are not supported.
The networks and UEs support CSFB.
UE camping policy
Huawei products support either the LTE network or the UMTS network as the preferred choice for UE
camping. An LTE-first policy is recommended for this phase.
CS service policy
When a UE initiates a voice service on the LTE network, both the UE and the voice service will fall
back to the UMTS network. Emergency calls initiated on the LTE network are ensured a high CSFB
success rate. For details, see chapter 5 "CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE Emergency Calls."
A UE processing a CS service or CS/PS combined service on the UMTS network remains on the
UMTS network to ensure CS service continuity.
PS service policy
Since LTE coverage is still incomplete in this phase, when a UE processing a PS service on the LTE
network moves out of LTE coverage, a PS handover or redirection to the UMTS network will be
performed. For details, see section 4.1 "LTE-to-UMTS PS Redirections and Handovers." When a UE
processing a PS service on the UMTS network moves to a UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage area, the
UE can remain on the UMTS network. For details, see section 4.1 "LTE-to-UMTS PS Redirections and
Handovers."
A UMTS-first policy can be adopted for UE camping. Under this policy, when a UE initiates a PS
service in a UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage area, a service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS handover or
redirection is performed to shift the UE and the PS service to the LTE network. This mechanism makes
efficient use of the LTE network. For details, see section 4.2 "Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS
Redirections and Handovers."
When a UE processing a PS service initiates a CS service, CSFB is performed and a PS handover or

redirection is used to shift the PS service to the UMTS network. If the PS service is still in progress

2 Overview
when the CS service is complete and the LTE signal quality meets specific conditions, a service-based
UMTS-to-LTE PS handover or redirection is performed to shift the UE and the PS service back to the
LTE network. For details, see section 4.2 "Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS Redirections and
Handovers."
2.3.3 Phase 3: Data and VoIP Services Supported, LTE Coverage

Still Incomplete
Description
An IMS has been deployed on the IMS. Therefore, both PS data services and VoIP services are
supported.
UE Camping Policy
An LTE-first policy is recommended. If the delay caused by CSFB is too long to ensure service quality,
adopt a UMTS-first policy.
CS service policy
When a UE processing a VoIP service on the LTE network moves out of the LTE coverage area, the
Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) feature converts the VoIP service to a CS service on the
UMTS network. This mechanism ensures voice service continuity.
A UE processing a CS service or CS/PS combined service remains on the UMTS network to ensure
CS service continuity.
PS service policy
Since LTE coverage is still incomplete, when a UE processing a PS service on the LTE network moves
out of the LTE coverage area, a PS handover or redirection to the UMTS network is performed. For
details, see section 4.1 "LTE-to-UMTS PS Redirections and Handovers." When a UE processing a PS
service on the UMTS network moves to a UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage area, the UE can remain
on the UMTS network. For details, see section 4.1 "LTE-to-UMTS PS Redirections and Handovers."
A UMTS-first policy can be adopted for UE camping. Under this policy, when a UE initiates a PS
service in a UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage area, a service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS handover or
redirection is performed to shift the UE and the PS service to the LTE network. This mechanism makes
efficient use of the LTE network. For details, see section 4.2 "Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS
Redirections and Handovers."
When a UE processing a PS service initiates a CS service, CSFB is performed and a PS handover or

redirection is used to shift the PS service to the UMTS network. If the PS service is still in progress
when the CS service is complete and the LTE signal quality meets specific conditions, a service-based
UMTS-to-LTE PS handover or redirection is performed to shift the UE and the PS service back to the
LTE network. For details, see section 4.2 "Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS Redirections and
Handovers."
NOTE
To adopt an LTE-first policy for UE camping, set high priorities for LTE frequencies so that the LTE network is preferred
during cell reselection. To adopt a UMTS-first policy for UE camping, set low priorities for LTE frequencies so that the
UMTS network is preferred during cell reselection.

3 Cell Reselection Between UMTS and LTE

This chapter describes the WRFD-020126 Mobility Between UMTS and LTE Phase 1 feature.
Cell reselection between UMTS and LTE includes UMTS-to-LTE cell reselection, LTE-to-UMTS cell
reselection, UMTS-to-LTE fast return, and UMTS-to-LTE quick cell reselection.
When camping on the UMTS network, a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE receives system information from the
serving UMTS cell. System information block 19 (SIB19) carries the absolute priorities of the serving
UMTS cell and LTE frequencies. If the absolute priorities of one or more LTE frequencies are higher than
the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell, the corresponding LTE cell or cells are the preferred target
cells for cell reselection. If the absolute priorities of all LTE frequencies are lower than the absolute
priority of the serving UMTS cell, UMTS cells are the preferred target cells for cell reselection.
UMTS-to-LTE fast return improves user experience by accelerating reselection. However, it can only be
used if UMTS and LTE are deployed together.
When camping on the LTE network, a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE receives system information from the
serving LTE cell. SIB3 carries the absolute priority of the serving LTE cell, SIB5 carries the absolute
priorities of the LTE frequencies, and SIB6 carries the absolute priorities of the UMTS frequencies. You
can manipulate these priorities to favor UMTS or LTE cells as target cells for reselection.
When camping on the UMTS network, a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE can initiate UMTS-to-LTE cell
reselection only when it is in the CELL_PCH or idle state. To accelerate the reselection process, you
need to enable fast state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH or from CELL_DCH to the idle state.
With this function, the UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE can transit to the CELL_PCH or idle state within a short
period of time after data transmission is complete, thereby initiating the UMTS-to-LTE cell reselection.
The SibCfgBitMap parameter in the ADD/MOD UCELLSIBSWITCH command specifies whether to
broadcast SIB19.
3.1 UMTS-to-LTE Cell Reselection

When a UE camping on the UMTS network receives SIB19 and specific conditions are met, the UE
starts measuring the LTE signal quality. Based on the measurement results, the UE camps on the best
cell by performing reselection.
3.1.1 Criteria for Starting Measurements

SIB19 carries the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell, the absolute priorities of the LTE
frequencies, and the cell reselection thresholds. Different radio access technologies (RATs) must have
different priorities. Upon receipt of SIB19, the UE does the following:
If the absolute priorities of one or more LTE frequencies are higher than the absolute priority of the
serving UMTS cell, the UE starts measuring the signal quality of the LTE frequencies.
The SPriority parameter in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command
specifies the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell.
The NPriority parameter in the ADD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO
command specifies the absolute priorities of the LTE frequencies.
If the absolute priorities of one or more LTE frequencies are lower than the absolute priority of the
serving UMTS cell and the formula SrxlevServingCell Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell Sprioritysearch2 is
true, the UE starts measuring the signal quality of the LTE frequencies.
Details about these two formulas are as follows:
Issue 04 (2013-05-10)

3-1
WCDMA RAN
The
ThdPrioritySearch1 and ThdPrioritySearch2 parameters in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or

MOD UCELLSELRESEL command specify the values of Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2,
respectively.
Sprioritysearch1
is a threshold for the received signal code power (RSCP) of the serving UMTS cell. If
the serving cell's RSCP measured by the UE minus Qrxlevmin is not larger than Sprioritysearch1, the
UE starts measuring the signal quality of the LTE frequencies whose absolute priorities are lower
than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell. The larger the value of this parameter, the more
likely the UEs are to start the measurements.
Sprioritysearch2
is a threshold for the Ec/No of the serving UMTS cell. If the serving cell's Ec/No
measured by the UE minus Qqualmin is not larger than Sprioritysearch2, the UE starts measuring the
signal quality of the LTE frequencies whose absolute priorities are lower than the absolute priority of
the serving UMTS cell. The larger the value of this parameter, the more likely the UEs are to start the
measurements.
The meanings of the other variables are as follows:

Srxlev:
Cell Selection RX level value (dB).
Squal:
Cell Selection quality value (dB), Applicable only for FDD cells.
Qrxlevmin:
Qqualmin:
required minimum RX level.
required minimum quality level.
SrxlevServingCell:
SqualServingCell:
the serving cell's RSCP measured by the UE minus Qrxlevmin.
the serving cell's Ec/No measured by the UE minus Qqualmin.
The UE should not perform cell reselection to a cell for which cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled. For
details about criterion S, see UE Behaviors in Idle Feature Parameter Description.
3.1.2 Criteria for Triggering Cell Reselection

After measuring the UMTS serving cell and LTE frequencies, the UE shifts to the best cell by performing
reselection.
SIB19 carries the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell, the absolute priorities of the LTE
frequencies, and the cell reselection thresholds. The UE performs cell reselection based on the absolute
priorities.
3GPP TS 25.304 specifies three sets of criteria for cell reselection based on the absolute priorities.
However, criteria set 2 is used for inter-frequency scenarios, not for inter-RAT scenarios, and SIB19
does not carry the absolute priorities of UMTS frequencies in Huawei products. Therefore, criteria set 2
is not supported by Huawei products.
Criteria sets 1 and 3 apply to UMTS-to-LTE reselection:
Criteria set 1 (both need to be fulfilled)

The
absolute priority of an LTE frequency is higher than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS
cell.
The
Srxlev value of the LTE frequency, SrxlevnonServingCell, has remained at or above the threshold
Threshhigh for a period of time longer than Treselection.
Criteria set 3 (all need to be fulfilled)

The
absolute priority of an LTE frequency is lower than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell.
SrxlevnonServingCell
has remained above Threshlow for a period of time longer than Treselection.
SrxlevServingCell has
remained below Threshserving,low for a period of time longer than Treselection, or

SqualServingCell has remained below 0 for a period of time longer than Treselection.
Issue 04 (2013-05-10)

3-2
WCDMA RAN
Details about these parameters are as follows:

Threshhigh
is the threshold for the target cell's signal level relative to EQrxlevmin during reselection
to a cell using a frequency with a higher absolute priority. The ThdToHigh parameter in the ADD
UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO command specifies the value of
Threshhigh. The larger the value of this parameter, the less likely that reselection occurs.
Threshlow
is the threshold for the target cell's signal level relative to EQrxlevmin during reselection
to a cell using a frequency with a lower absolute priority. The ThdToLow parameter in the ADD
UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO command specifies the value of
Threshlow. The larger the value of this parameter, the less likely that reselection occurs.
EQrxlevmin
is the minimum required signal level for the target cell. It is set by running the ADD
UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO command.
Treselection
is the reselection delay. The Treselections parameter in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL

or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command specifies the value of Treselection.
Threshserving,low
is the threshold for the serving cell's RSCP during reselection to an LTE cell working
at an LTE frequency with a lower absolute priority. The ThdServingLow parameter in the ADD
UCELLSELRESEL or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command specifies the value of Threshserving,low.
When the LTE frequencies of lower absolute priorities are being measured, if the signal quality of the
serving UMTS cell constantly remains below Threshserving,low and the signal quality of an LTE
frequency satisfies the formula SrxlevnonServingCell > Threshlow, the UE triggers reselection to the cell
working at this LTE frequency. The larger the value of this parameter, the more likely reselection is to
occur.
To summarize:
If both criteria in criteria set 1 are fulfilled, the UE performs reselection to a cell working at an LTE
frequency with a higher absolute priority.
If all criteria in criteria set 3 are fulfilled, the UE performs reselection to a cell working at an LTE
frequency with a lower absolute priority.
If the criteria in neither group are fulfilled, the UE remains on the UMTS network.
If multiple cells fulfill a set of criteria, the UE performs reselection to the cell with the highest absolute
priority. If multiple cells have the highest absolute priority, the UE performs reselection to the cell with the
largest SrxlevnonServingCell value.
3.2 LTE-to-UMTS Cell Reselection

LTE-to-UMTS cell reselection is used when the LTE network is new and provides incomplete coverage,
but the UMTS coverage is complete. LTE-to-UMTS cell reselection is based on absolute priorities and
mainly involves the LTE network.
For details, see LTE document Idle Mode Management Feature Parameter Description.
3.3 UMTS-to-LTE Fast Return

This section describes WRFD-140226 UMTS-to-LTE Fast Return (a trial feature).
3.3.1 Principles
Before RAN14.0, if UMTS and LTE are deployed together and the absolute priority of a neighboring LTE
cell's LTE frequency is higher than that of the serving UMTS cell, UE accesses UMTS due to CSFB,
when RRC connection is released (CS or PS is finished) in UMTS. The UE generally camps on the
UMTS cell, if the neighboring LTE cell fulfills the criteria for reselection, UE camps on the neighboring
LTE cell by reselection. The UE needs to receive system information and make decisions before
performing UMTS-to-LTE reselection. As a result, the process takes a longer time. To reduce delay,
UMTS-to-LTE fast return has been introduced.
Issue 04 (2013-05-10)

WCDMA RAN
UMTS-to-LTE fast return is applicable for scenes below:
A UE starting voice call in LTE is handed over to UMTS due to CSFB. The cause in RELOCATION
RQEUSET is "CS Fallback triggered (268)" or CSFB information carried in the RELOCATION
REQUEST message is set to "CSFB" or "CSFB High Priority" and RRC connection is released in
UMTS.
A UE that complies with 3GPP Release 9.4.0 or later starting voice call in LTE is redirected to UMTS
due to CSFB, and the first RAB setup in UMTS is the CS domain. The RRC connection is released in
UMTS.
In RAN14.0, for these UEs, when the RRC connection is released, the RNC sends an RRC
CONNECTION RELEASE message carrying neighboring LTE cells' frequencies whose absolute
priorities are higher than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell. After releasing the RRC
connection, the UE attempts to camp on one of the suitable LTE cells whose frequencies are carried in
the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message. This mechanism reduces the reselection delay from
UMTS to LTE in idle state and improves user experience.
The algorithm is recommended in scenes with good LTE coverage. However, if no suitable cell on the
frequencies carried in the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message is found within 10s, the UE attempts
to camp on a suitable cell on any LTE frequency it supports. If no suitable LTE cell is found, UE camps
on a suitable GSM cell or UMTS cell. When UE is searching for an LTE signal, it cannot start a call or be
paged. If there is no LTE coverage, Huawei's UE E398 keeps searching LTE signals for 23s before
camping on a UMTS cell.
Relationship with other algorithms:
After receiving SCRI, RRC connection is released, RNC sends RRC CONNECTION RELEASE
message, carrying LTE frequencies information. The UE selects and camps on LTE network on
receiving the message.
UMTS-to-LTE Fast Return is applicable for UEs accessing to UMTS due to CSFB, and the RRC
CONNECTION RELEASE message contains all the LTE neighboring cell frequencies of higher priority
than the serving cell. While "Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS Redirections and Handovers" is suitable
for PS only services, the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message contains only LTE neighbor cell
frequency with the best signal.
HO_UMTS_TO_LTE_FAST_RETURN_SWITCH under the HoSwitch parameter is the switch for

UMTS-to-LTE fast return. The SPriority parameter in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or MOD
UCELLSELRESEL command specifies the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell. The NPriority
parameter in the ADD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO command
specifies the absolute priorities of the LTE frequencies.

3.4 UMTS-to-LTE Quick Cell Reselection

A UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE camping on the UMTS network can initiate UMTS-to-LTE cell reselection
only when it is in the CELL_PCH or idle state. In RAN14.0 and earlier versions, state transition to the
CELL_PCH or idle state is slow because the state transition is triggered only when the UE does not
transmit or receive service data during the time length of an inactivity timer.
The inactivity timer can be:
PsInactTmrForCon (conversational services), PsInactTmrForStr (streaming services),

PsInactTmrForInt (interactive services), or PsInactTmrForBac (background services) for UEs that are
not enabled with enhanced fast dormancy
PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch for UEs that are enabled with enhanced fast dormancy and in the
CELL_DCH state
PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach for UEs that are enabled with enhanced fast dormancy and in the
CELL_FACH state
To accelerate the UMTS-to-LTE cell reselection, you need to enable the UMTS-to-LTE quick cell
reselection function by running the SET UALGORSVPARA command with
RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT10 under RsvSwitch0 set to ON. The details of this function are as
follows:
For UEs that are not enabled with enhanced fast dormancy
State transition to the CELL_PCH or idle state is triggered when the UE does not transmit or receive
service data during the time length specified by PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch, not the time length
specified by PsInactTmrForCon. The default value of PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch is smaller than
that of PsInactTmrForCon and therefore the cell reselection process is faster.
State transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH or the idle state by running the SET
UALGORSVPARA command with RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT8 set to an appropriate value under
RsvSwitch0. When RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT8 is set to OFF, the UE transits from CELL_DCH to
CELL_PCH. When RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT8 is set to ON, the UE transits from CELL_DCH to
the idle state.
The default value of RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT8 under RsvSwitch0 is OFF. Set it to ON if some
UEs in the network do not support state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH.
For UEs that are enabled with enhanced fast dormancy and in the CELL_DCH state
When RSVDBIT1_BIT29 under RsvdPara1 is set to OFF by running the SET URRCTRLSWITCH
command, the UE transits from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH when it does not transmit or receive
service data during the time length specified by PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch and then transits from
CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH or the idle state when it does not transmit or receive service data during the
time length specified by PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach. After UMTS-to-LTE quick cell reselection is
enabled, the UE is able to transit from CELL_DCH directly to CELL_PCH or the idle state when it does
not transmit or receive service data during the time length specified by PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch,
without the need to wait until PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach expires. This shortens the duration of the
UMTS-to-LTE cell reselection.
When RSVDBIT1_BIT29 under RsvdPara1 is set to ON, UMTS-to-LTE quick cell reselection does
not provide gains for these UEs. State transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH or the idle state is
triggered when the UE does not transmit or receive service data during the time length specified by
PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch, regardless of whether UMTS-to-LTE quick cell reselection is enabled.
For UEs that are enabled with enhanced fast dormancy and in the CELL_FACH state
UMTS-to-LTE quick cell reselection does not provide gains for these UEs. State transition from
CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH or the idle state is triggered when the UE does not transmit or receive
service data during the time length specified by PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach, regardless of whether
UMTS-to-LTE quick cell reselection is enabled.

4 PS Redirections and Handovers Between UMTS

and LTE
4 PS Redirections and Handovers Between UMTS and

LTE
This chapter describes PS directions and handovers from UMTS to LTE and from LTE to UMTS.
4.1 LTE-to-UMTS PS Redirections and Handovers

When a UE processing a PS service on the LTE network moves out of the LTE coverage area or the LTE
signal quality falls below a specific threshold, a PS redirection or handover is performed to shift the UE to
the UMTS network. The choice between a PS redirection and a PS handover depends on the UE
capability.
LTE-to-UMTS PS handovers or redirections are performed mainly by the LTE network. For details, see
LTE document Idle Mode Management Feature Parameter Description.
If certain UL/LTE dual-mode UEs do not support UMTS network measurements when in connected
mode, the LTE network needs to support LTE-to-UMTS blind redirections or blind handovers.
4.2 Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS Redirections and

Handovers
This chapter corresponds to the features WRFD-020129 PS Service Redirection from UMTS to LTE and
WRFD-140218 Service-Based PS Handover from UMTS to LTE.
4.2.1 Overview
Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections have the same characteristics as service-based
UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers. After a UE sets up a PS service on the UMTS network, a PS redirection or
handover is used to shift the UE and the PS service to the LTE network when the LTE signal quality
fulfills the criteria.
During a UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection, the RNC sends the UE an RRC Connection Release message,
which contains LTE frequencies. After the connection is released, the UE enters idle mode on the UMTS
network, selects the LTE network, and sets up a PS service on it.
During a UMTS-to-LTE PS handover, the RNC sends a handover request to the LTE network through the
core network (CN). When the LTE network finishes preparing resources, the UE and the PS service are
handed over to the LTE network.
If the UE and networks support UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers and the SuppPSHOFlag parameter for the
target LTE cell is set to support PS handovers, PS handovers are preferred over PS redirections.
Otherwise, PS redirections are preferred.
NOTE
PS handovers cause heavy signaling traffic and require smooth collaboration between network elements, but such
collaboration is not readily available yet. If telecom operators care about these issues, run the ADD ULTECELL command
to set the SuppPSHOFlag parameter to disable UMTS-to-LTE handovers for LTE cells.
Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers or redirections are mainly used in the following two
situations:
A UE that has fallen back to the UMTS network by using CSFB is still processing PS services and the
LTE signal quality is good when the UE's voice services are complete, that is, the RNC receives the
RADIO BEARER RELEASE COMPLETE message of the voice service or the Iu Release message in
the CS domain. In this scenario, if RNC receives the 3C event report, a UMTS-to-LTE PS handover or
redirection will be performed.
Issue 04 (2013-05-10)

4-1
WCDMA RAN

and LTE
A UE only initiates a PS service on the UMTS network in a UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage area and
the LTE signal quality is good. In this scenario, if RNC receives the 3C event report, a UMTS-to-LTE
PS handover or redirection will be performed.
To minimize the possibility of redirection or handover failures, UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections and

handovers are based on the LTE signal quality measurements. Redirections or handovers are only
triggered if the LTE signal quality is good.
4.2.2 Measurements on LTE Signal Quality

After receiving Radio Bearer Setup, Radio Bearer Reconfiguration (except for D2F, D2P and RAB DRD),
Radio Bearer Release message or inter-frequency hard handover or the Iu Release message in the CS
domain. RNC determines whether LTE measurement is started. RNC start LTE measurement if all the
following conditions are met:
There are no CS RABs among the UE's RABs.
The value of the information element E-UTRAN Service Handover in a certain PS RAB of the UE is not
"Handover to E-UTRAN shall not be performed."
The value of the service handover attribute EUTRANSHIND of a certain PS RAB of the UE is not set
to HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM.
The neighboring LTE cells are configured for UMTS serving cell.
The UE supports both UMTS and LTE.
The UE supports LTE measurements in connected mode.
The UE supports UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handover.
The general switch for UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers is turned on. This switch is configured by
HO_LTE_PS_OUT_SWITCH under the HoSwitch parameter.
Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections are controlled by

HO_LTE_SERVICE_PS_OUT_SWITCH under the HoSwitch parameter, and PS handovers are
controlled by HO_LTE_SERVICE_PSHO_OUT_SWITCH under the HoSwitch parameter.
Where
The information element E-UTRAN Service Handover is optional and specifies which RABs cannot be
shifted to the LTE network through a redirection or handover. If one or more of the PS RABs for the UE
cannot be shifted to the LTE network, the UE cannot be redirected or handed over to the LTE network.
The parameters EUTRANSHIND and TrafficClass in MML ADD UTYPRABBASIC command are
used for controlling whether the type of services can be handed over or redirected to LTE network. The
parameter EUTRANSHIND can be set to HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM or
HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM , and the parameter TrafficClass can be set to
conversational, streaming, interactive, or background. For example, if the parameter TrafficClass is
set to conversational and the parameter EUTRANSHIND is set to
HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM , the conversational services are not allowed to hand
over or redirect to LTE network.
If all these conditions are met and a UMTS-to-PS redirection or handover is allowed, the RNC sends a
measurement control command to the UE, instructing the UE to measure the LTE signal quality. Event
3C is triggered when the LTE signal quality satisfies the following formula:
MOtherRAT TOtherRAT + H3c/2
where
MOtherRAT is the measured quality of the LTE cell after filtering. The LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter
specifies which of the following is used as the measured quantity of the LTE cell: Reference Signal
Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ). U2LTEFilterCoef is the filter
Issue 04 (2013-05-10)

WCDMA RAN

and LTE
coefficient for the measurement results. A larger value for this parameter results in a greater
smoothing effect and higher anti-fading capabilities, but also lower capabilities of tracking signal
fluctuations. A smaller value for this parameter results in more unnecessary handovers.
TOtherRAT is the threshold that the LTE signal must reach before a redirection or handover to the LTE
network can be performed. The TargetRatThdRSRP or TargetRatThdRSRQ parameter specifies the
TOtherRAT value. The TargetRatThdRSRP parameter is the RSRP threshold, and the
TargetRatThdRSRQ parameter is the RSRQ parameter.
If
the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter is set to RSRP, event 3C is reported when the RSRP of the
LTE cell has remained greater than or equal to the sum of TargetRatThdRSRP and H3c/2 for a period
of time longer than TrigTime3C.
If
the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter is set to RSRQ, event 3C is reported when the RSRQ of the
LTE cell has remained greater than or equal to the sum of TargetRatThdRSRQ and H3c/2 for a
period of time longer than TrigTime3C.
The TrigTime3C parameter is the hysteresis for the UE triggering event 3C. The value of this
parameter relates to slow fading. A larger value for this parameter results in a lower possibility of
handovers and unnecessary handovers and a stronger resistance to instantaneous signal
fluctuations. An excessively large value for this parameter results in a higher possibility of call drops.
H3c is the hysteresis for reporting event 3C, and it is configured by the Hystfor3C parameter. The
value of this parameter relates to slow fading. A larger value for this parameter results in stronger
resistance to signal fluctuations. This curbs the ping-pong effect but slows the handover algorithm's
response to signal fluctuations.
These parameters can be configured at the RNC or cell level with the SET UU2LTEHONCOV command
or the ADD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV command, respectively. If these parameters are configured at both
RNC and cell levels, cell-level settings override RNC-level settings.
4.2.3 Target Cell Selection and Execution of Redirections or

Handovers
The event 3C report from the UE to the RNC carries the LTE cell or cells that meet the conditions for
event 3C. If the report carries multiple LTE cells, the one with the best signal quality is selected as the
target cell. The RNC shifts the UE to the target cell by using a redirection or handover.

5 CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE Emergency Calls

This chapter describes the feature WRFD-140102 CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE Emergency Calls.
5.1 Overview
When a UE within the LTE coverage area attempts to initiate a CS service, the Circuit Switched Fallback
(CSFB) enables the UE to be redirected or handed over to the UMTS network for CS service access. In
this way, the existing UMTS network can be reused to provide traditional voice services for UEs on the
LTE network.
CSFB applies to scenarios where the LTE network does not support voice services because the IP
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is not available for use. The eNodeB can instruct a UE to fall back to the
UMTS network when the UE attempts to process voice services on the LTE network. A UE in idle mode
needs to transit to connected mode and then fall back to the UMTS network.
When a UE is attaching to LTE network, MME sends an ATTACH ACCEPT message to the UE, carrying
IE "EPS attach result" to indicate whether the LTE network supports CSFB. If this IE value is "combined
EPS/IMSI attach", it indicates that the LTE network supports CSFB. For details, see 3GPP TS 24.301.
When a UE in connected mode initiates a CS service on the LTE network, it sends an Extended Service
Request message that contains a CS Fallback Indicator to the Mobility Management Entity (MME),
indicating that CSFB is required for the CS service. The MME instructs the eNodeB to initiate a CSFB
procedure so that the UE can fall back to the UMTS network.
Each UE maintains a default PS connection on the LTE network, regardless of whether it is processing
PS services. Upon receiving the CSFB indication from the MME, the eNodeB performs an LTE-to-UMTS
PS handover or redirection to execute CSFB. After falling back to the UMTS network, the UE re-initiates
the CS service. The procedure is as follows:
If a UE is to fall back to the UMTS network by using the LTE-to-UMTS PS redirection, the eNodeB
sends the UE an RRC Connection Release message containing the UMTS frequency to be used by
the UE. The UE accesses the UMTS network using the received UMTS frequency, and then
re-initiates the CS and PS services on the UMTS network.
If a UE is to fall back to the UMTS network by using the LTE-to-UMTS PS handover, the RNC performs
resource reservation and service admission for the PS service of the UE upon receiving a PS
handover request. If resource reservation and service admission are successful, the eNodeB instructs
the UE to perform an inter-RAT handover for UMTS network access. After falling back to the UMTS
network, the UE re-initiates the CS service. The PS service or default PS connection is set up by using
an LTE-to-UMTS PS handover.
Upon receiving the CS fallback indicator from the MME, the eNodeB decides whether to perform the
fallback by using an LTE-to-UMTS PS handover or redirection, based on the capability of the network
and UE.
For details about message exchange during the procedure, see 3GPP TS 23.272.
For CSFB for an emergency call:
If the UE is to fall back to the UMTS network by using the LTE-to-UMTS PS redirection, the LTE
network will send an RRC connection release message to the UE and the UE re-initiates an
emergency call on the UMTS network. CSFB should be successful once the UE has accessed the
UMTS network. The feature WRFD-021104 Emergency Call ensures that emergency calls are granted
access to the UMTS network before other call types.
If a UE is to fall back to the UMTS network by using the LTE-to-UMTS PS handover, the RNC performs
resource reservation and service admission for the PS service of the UE. Then the eNodeB instructs
the UE to perform an inter-RAT handover for UMTS network access. After falling back to the UMTS

WCDMA RAN
network, the UE re-initiates an emergency call. CSFB should be successful once resource reservation
and service admission are successful for the PS service on the RNC. The feature WRFD-140102 CS
Fallback Guarantee for LTE Emergency Calls ensures that resource reservation and service
admission are successful for PS services, by decreasing the PS service rate, performing resource
preemption, or both.
This document only describes resource reservation and service admission for PS services. For details about
implementation of the feature WRFD-021104 Emergency Call, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
The HO_L2U_EMGCall_Switch field has been added to the HoSwitch parameter in the SET
UCORRMALGOSwitch command. The feature WRFD-140102 CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE
Emergency Calls is enabled when this switch is turned on.
5.2 Policy
If a UE is to fall back to the UMTS network by using the LTE-to-UMTS PS handover, the eNodeB sends
the MME a Handover Required message. This message carries a transparent container, Source RNC to
Target RNC Transparent Container, which contains an IE referred to as CSFB Information. If this IE
value is CSFB, it indicates a PS handover caused by CSFB for a common CS service. If this IE value is
CSFB High Priority, it indicates a PS handover caused by CSFB for an emergency call.
The transparent container is forwarded by the CN to the destination RNC. When the destination RNC
receives CSFB Information whose value is CSFB High Priority, the RNC determines that an incoming
LTE-to-UMTS PS handover is caused by CSFB for an emergency call. In this case, the RNC decreases
the service rate or performs resource preemption for the PS service. The specific policy is as follows:
For a best effort (BE) PS service, such as an interactive or background service, the RNC attempts to
admit it on the DCH with the 8 kbit/s access rate in UL and DL regardless of the capability of the UE
(even if the UE is HSPA-capable). If the admission attempt fails, the RNC preempts the resources of
low-priority user. For a non-BE PS service, such as a streaming service, the RNC attempts to admit it
based on the GBR. If the admission attempt fails, the RNC preempts the resources of low-priority user.
After the PS service admission succeeds, the PS service rate is gradually increased if there are
available resources in the UMTS network.
For details about service admission, see Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description. For
details about resource preemption, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
For a CSFB procedure during which a UE falls back to the UMTS network through an LTE-to-UMTS PS
handover, the CSFB delay can be reduced by increasing the bearing data rate on the signaling radio
bearer (SRB). The bearing data rate is set by CSFBSRBRate of the SET UFRC command.

6 CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE Common Calls
6 CS Fallback Guarantee for LTE Common Calls

6.1 Overview
RAN14.0 provides a CSFB guarantee for LTE emergency calls and common calls. This reduces
admission failures and increases successful handovers for CS services.
To enable CSFB guarantee for LTE common calls, users need to set
PERFENH_L2U_CSFB_COMMCALL_SWITCH under PerfEnhanceSwitch to ON by running the SET
UCORRMPARA command.
6.2 Policy
The RNC determines that an incoming LTE-to-UMTS PS handover is caused by CSFB for a common
call when either of the following conditions is met:
The cause value is CS Fallback triggered (268) in the Relocation Request message received at the
RNC.
The value of the IE "CSFB Information" is CSFB in the IE "Source RNC To Target RNC Transparent
Container" of the Relocation Request message.
In this case, the RNC decreases the service rate or performs resource preemption for the PS service.
The specific policy is as follows:
For a non-real-time PS service, the RNC attempts to admit it on the DCH with the 8 kbit/s access rate.
If the admission attempt fails, the RNC preempts the resources of a low-priority service for the
non-real-time PS service.
For a real-time PS service, the RNC attempts to admit it based on the GBR. If the admission attempt
fails, the RNC preempts the resources of a low-priority service for the real-time PS service.
After the PS service admission succeeds, the PS service rate is gradually increased if there are
available resources in the UMTS network.
For details about service admission, see Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description. For
details about resource preemption, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
For a CSFB procedure during which a UE falls back to the UMTS network through an LTE-to-UMTS PS
handover, the CSFB delay can be reduced by increasing the bearing data rate on the signaling radio
bearer (SRB). The bearing data rate is set by CSFBSRBRate of the SET UFRC command.

1. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLSIBSWITCH. In this step, deselect the SIB19 check box
under the parameter SIB Switch to turn off the SIB19 switch in a cell. After the switch is turned off,
the RNC stops sending SIB19 messages to UEs. In such a case, the configured absolute priority of
the serving cell and the configured information about the frequencies of neighboring cells become
ineffective.
2. Run the RNC MML command SET LICENSE to deactivate the license controlling the feature Mobility

8.3 WRFD-020129 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from

UMTS to LTE
8.3.1 When to Use Service-based PS Redirection or Handover from
UMTS to LTE
This feature is recommended in UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage areas. Determine whether to enable
the UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handover based on the UE capabilities in the live network. If only a
few UEs support the UMTS-to-LTE PS handover, enable only UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection. If a majority
of UEs support the UMTS-to-LTE PS handover, enable both UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection and handover.
In the latter case, UEs supporting handovers use the UMTS-to-LTE PS handover and UEs not
supporting handovers use the UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection.
If UEs preferentially camp on the UMTS network, this feature must be used. Otherwise, UEs can camp
on the LTE network by cell reselection only in weak UMTS coverage areas, which leads to an idle LTE
network.
If the target LTE network is a MOCN network and the UMTS and LTE networks of the operator are
different PLMNs, do not enable service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers, because they may cause
call drops.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD-020129
Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to LTE.
Prerequisites
There is no requirement for RNC and NodeB.

License
The license " Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to LTE" on the RNC side has been
activated. For details about the license items and how to activate the license, see License
Management Feature Parameter Description.
Others
The UE must support 3GPP Release 8 (Sept. 2008) or later. It also must support both UMTS and LTE.
The SGSN support this feature.
CN should support cooperation from UMTS to LTE.
The neighboring LTE cell has been configured. For details, see Configuring a Neighboring LTE Cell
section in BSC6900 UMTS Initial Configuration Guide.
Procedure
1. Run the RNC MML command MOD ULTECELL (CME single configuration: Object Group > UMTS

Cell Supporting PS HO Indicator to NotSupport and set BlackCell List Flag to False.
2. Run the RNC MML command SET UU2LTEHONCOV (CME single configuration: UMTS Radio
Global Configuration Express > HandOver Parameter Configuration > RNC-Oriented
Non-Coverage-Based UMTS-LTE Handover Measurement Algorithm Parameters; CME batch
modification center: not supported) to set RNC-oriented non-coverage-based UMTS-LTE handover
measurement algorithm parameters. The RNC sends these parameters to the UE by means of a
measurement control message.
3. Optional: Run the RNC MML command ADD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV (CME single configuration:
UMTS Cell Configuration Express > Cell Parameters > Cell-Oriented Non-Coverage-Based
UMTS-LTE Handover Measurement Algorithm Parameters; CME batch modification center:
Modifying UMTS Cell Parameters in Batches) to set the cell-level non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE
handover measurement parameters for a cell.
4. Run the RNC MML command MOD UTYPRABBASIC (CME single configuration: UMTS Radio

1. Start Uu interface tracing on the LMT to trace messages on the Uu interface.

2. View the RRC_MEAS_CTRL message, as shown in Figure 8-4. If the measurementCommand
message contains the information element (IE) e-UTRA-FrequencyInfo, this feature takes effect.
The measurement control message sent by the RNC contains the LTE cell information.
After receiving the message, the UE measures the signal quality in the LTE cell. The measurement
result serves as the basis for handover decision.

The success rate of service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers is calculated with the following formula:
Success rate of service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers =
VS.U2LTEHO.SuccOutPS.Service/VS.U2LTEHO.AttOutPS.Service.
Parameter optimization is required if this success rate falls below expectation.
Parameter Optimization
Analyze the causes of UMTS-to-LTE PS handover failures and modify parameter values accordingly.
If VS.U2LTEHO.FailOutPS.CfgUnSupp, VS.U2LTEHO.FailOutPS.PhyChFail, and

VS.U2LTEHO.FailRelocPrepOutPS.ReloUnSupp have large values, there is a possibility that some
types of UEs do not support UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers. In this case, modify the cell parameter
settings to use UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections in this cell.
If VS.U2LTEHO.FailOutPS.NoReply has a large value, raise the value of TargetRatThdRSRP or

TargetRatThdRSRQ accordingly.
If VS.U2LTEHO.FailRelocPrepOutPS.NoResAvail and
VS.U2LTEHO.FailRelocPrepOutPS.TgtHighLoad have large values, the LTE network traffic load is
high. In this case, take measures to lower the LTE network traffic load to ensure a high success rate
for UMTS-to-LTE PS handovers.

Currently, this feature only involves the following RNC-level counters:
VS.L2U.AttRelocPrepInPS.Emerg.RNC: Number of incoming LTE-to-UMTS PS handover attempts

caused by LTE emergency calls at the RNC level. When receiving the Relocation Request message
which carries Source RNC To Target RNC Transparent Container containing CSFB High Priority, the
RNC increases the counter value by 1 and stamps the identity of CSFB High Priority on the UE. This
identity is erased after the emergency call is released.
VS.L2U.SuccRelocInPS.Emerg.RNC: Number of successful incoming LTE-to-UMTS PS handovers

caused by LTE emergency calls at the RNC level. When the RNC sends the SGSN a Relocation
Complete message, the incoming LTE-to-UMTS PS handover is successful and the RNC increases
the counter value by 1.
The success rate of LTE-to-UMTS PS handovers caused by CSFB for LTE emergency calls is calculated
with the following formula:
Success rate of LTE-to-UMTS PS handovers caused by CSFB for LTE emergency calls =
VS.L2U.SuccRelocInPS.Emerg.RNC/VS.L2U. AttRelocPrepInPS.Emerg.RNC

During cell reselection decision, the
Srxlev is obtained by the RSRP of the
cell on the target frequency measured by
the UE minus the value of this parameter.
If the Srxlev is greater than the
parameter of the target cell during the
interval defined by Treselections, the UE
performs cell reselection to the target
cell.
The value of this parameter is set during
network planning.
The greater the value of this parameter
is, the harder the UE reselects a cell on
this frequency, the smaller the value of
this parameter is, the easier the UE
reselects a cell on this frequency.

services of the UE involved in a CS
fallback are switched to a DCH with a
data rate of 8 kbit/s before the access to
the UMTS network. For the real-time PS
services, the UE follows the standard
access procedure. If the access fails and
the "PreemptAlgoSwitch" parameter

The UE compares the absolute priority

level of the serving cell with that of
neighboring frequencies, and specifies
the target frequency based on the
comparison result.
That is,
when the priority level of the serving cell
is smaller than that of the neighboring
frequency, the UE measures the
neighboring frequency. If the signal of
cells on the neighboring frequency
satisfies relevant requirements, the UE
initiates the cell reselection.
When the priority level of the serving cell
is greater than that of the neighboring
frequency, the UE measures the
neighboring frequency only when the
signal of the serving cell is weak. If the
signal of cells on the neighboring
frequency satisfies relevant
requirements, the UE initiates the cell
reselection.
