    No Paging On LTE Due To No TAU Procedure: Application Note

    Uploaded by

    burdun777
    This document describes an issue where the network does not send paging messages to user equipment (UE) on LTE after a circuit-switched fallback call is released. This can cause mobile-terminated calls to fail. The root cause is that the UE does not perform a tracking area update procedure when returning to LTE from UMTS, since the location update was not successfully sent over the radio interface. As a workaround, the UE will set a flag to perform the tracking area update on returning to LTE, ensuring the network maintains the UE's registration state. The document provides code changes to implement this workaround.

    1 Introduction

    1.1 Purpose
    This document describes why the UE does not send TAU Req with type2 after CSFB MT call
    release and NW does not send MT paging anymore, which leads to a MT call failure. A
    workaround for the network issue is provided, with the suggested code that solves the issue.

    1.2 Conventions
    Function declarations, function names, type declarations, attributes, and code samples appear in a
    different font, for example, #include.
    Code variables appear in angle brackets, for example, <number>.
    Commands to be entered appear in a different font, e.g., copy a:*.* b:.
    Button and key names appear in bold font, for example, click Save or press Enter.
    Shading indicates content that has been added or changed in this revision of the document.

    2 No Paging on LTE Issue

    2.1 Issue description


    Issue Scenario
    1. UE receives Paging on LTE and sends ESR.
    2. UE moves to UMTS cell via redirection.
    3. UE sends Paging Response but no response is received from the network.
    4. The network releases the RRC connection and redirects the UE to LTE.
    5. UE moves to LTE Idle.
    6. UE sends TAU Req with type1.
    7. The MT call fails.

    2.2 Issue Analysis


    With FR#3726, NAS will update SGs status (i.e. performing TAU with IMSI Attach on returning
    to LTE) after
     RR Connection is established for LU in GSM.
     CS session is established for LU in UMTS.
     PS session is established for Combined RAU in UMTS.
     L2 ACK for Combined RAU in GSM on PLs where GPRS L2 ACK is supported.
     Confirming that there is an existing PS session used for Combined RAU in UMTS, for
    example, when RAU is triggered after L2W PSHO.
    In the current scenario, after the call ends, the NAS sends LU but CS session is not established for
    LU because of the Fast Return To LTE feature. So the NAS doesn’t set SG association and
    doesn’t need to send TAU on LTE.
    As LU is not sent to the network successfully, SG association should not be broken on NW.
    Therefore, NW should not expect TAU when UE moves back to LTE. The UE’s behavior is thus
    compliant with 3GPP spec.
    But some NWs break the SG association in this case. So without TAU proceure on LTE, NW
    may think that the UE still stays on UMTS, and sends Paging on UMTS. As a result, the UE on
    LTE cannot receive the Paging.
    To conclude, this is a NW issue because there is no reason for NW to break SG association in this
    case.

    2.3 Impact
    The UE may miss the Paging on LTE.

    2.4 Change description


    NAS will set SG assoication flag upon sending LU, so that when coming back to LTE it performs
    a TAU.

    2.5 Code change

    printer, bold red text indicates code that is to be added.

    CCO fails and UE comes back to LTE, we should not do TAU as LU request is

    #endif

    NOTE: This is not a spec-compliant behavior. And this workaround works only in this scenario.

    NOTE: There can be more scenarios where page miss can be an issue for China Unicom due to NW
    issue.
