 The following cell reselection strategy is recommended for multimode terminals in idle state on the LTE network:
The terminal preferentially camps on the LTE network. If no LTE coverage is available or the signal quality on the LTE network is poor, the
terminal camps on the UMTS network. If no UMTS coverage is available or the UMTS network coverage is insufficient, the terminal camps
on the GSM network.
 The following cell reselection strategy is recommended for GU dual-mode terminals in idle state:
The terminal preferentially camps on the UMTS network. If no UMTS coverage is available or the signal quality on the UMTS network
is poor, the terminal camps on the GSM network.
 Single-mode terminals camp on networks that the terminals support.

Coverage-based inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover or redirection is recommended. This enables a terminal to be handed over to an inter-
frequency or inter-RAT cell, ensuring service continuity.
• Insufficient LTE coverage
Sequence: Cell with insufficient LTE coverage  Inter-frequency target LTE cell  Target UMTS cell  Target GSM cell
• Insufficient UMTS coverage
UMTS cell with insufficient coverage  Inter-frequency target UMTS cell Inter-frequency target GSM cell
If the cell with insufficient coverage is a UMTS900 cell with continuous coverage, GSM cells are recommended for a handover or reselection.

G900/1800 G900/1800 G900/1800 Cell with heavy load

• GSM cell with heavy load


Access state: An MS directly reselects to another cell.
Connected state: An MS performs a load-based handover to a neighboring GSM cell.
• UMTS cell with heavy load
Access state: A UE redirects to a neighboring UMTS cell. If no neighboring cell meets requirements, the UE redirects to a GSM cell. Connected
state: Inter-frequency load-based handovers, code tree readjustment of common channels, and BE service rate decrease can be performed on downlink
services. Inter-frequency load-based handovers and BE service rate decrease can be performed on uplink services. If the UMTS cell is still congested, the
UE can hand over to a GSM cell.
• LTE cell with heavy load
A UE preferentially performs a load-based intra-RAT handover so that it can be handed over to an inter-frequency neighboring cell with the same
coverage or with a large overlap area. If the LTE serving cell load is still heavy, inter-RAT MLB needs to be performed so that the terminal can be
handed over or redirected to an inter-RAT neighboring cell with the same coverage or with large-scale overlap area.

HHUISAILWICEOI Page
Traffic Steering

• Traffic steering between GSM and UMTS networks


In this scheme, CS services are preferentially carried on the GSM network, whereas PS services are preferentially carried on the UMTS network.
Access phase:
UEs processing CS services are redirected to GSM cells, and UEs processing PS services remain in UMTS cells.
After service setup:
UEs processing CS services are handed over to GSM cells as much as possible, and UEs processing PS services remain in UMTS cells if possible.

• CSFB from the LTE network to the UMTS or GSM


network CS service processing
It is recommended that the CS service initiated on the LTE network be forced to fall back to the UMTS network by using CSFB. If there is GSM coverage but no UMTS
coverage, the CS service falls back to the GSM network by using CSFB.
• If traffic steering is used on the UMTS network, it is recommended that the CS service be forced to fall back to a UMTS cell using an R99 carrier.
• If traffic steering is not used on the UMTS network, it is recommended that the CS service be forced to fall back to a UMTS cell using a carrier with
contiguous coverage.
CS+PS composite service processing
• For CS+PS composite services between GSM and LTE networks, the CS service is forced to fall back to the GSM network using the CSFB and the PS service
is suspended because inter-RAT DTM is not supported.
• CS+PS composite services between UMTS and LTE networks can simultaneously fall back to the UMTS network using the handover- or redirection-based CSFB.
• If a UE processing CS services on the LTE network has fallen back to the UMTS network, the UE can return to the LTE network using fast return.

• Traffic steering within the UMTS network


Currently, traffic steering is mainly implemented between UMTS 2100 MHz carriers. This scheme categorizes carriers into R99 and HSPA carriers based on their
service capabilities. In most cases, the carrier with continuous coverage is configured as the R99 carrier, and other carriers are configured as HSPA carriers.
CS services are handed over to or remain in cells using the R99 carrier, and PS services are handed over to or remain in cells using HSPA carriers

GUL Strategy Audit – Inquiries (1)
Customer Inquiries:
• If SIM Card is GU Only:
• G2U Reselection:
• R7 or Earlier  Will use Normal G2U Reselection Parameters.

• Later  Will Follow normal Priority Procedure “Low to High”.

• U2G Reselection  will Follow Normal U2G Reselection Parameters.


• If UE don’t Support Priority:
• This is 3GPP, if UE don’t support, it should be abnormal UE & Can’t know it's behavior.
• Recommended L2GU CSFB Strategy:
• L2U  Measured & L2G  Blind after Certain Timer if L2U Fails as a Protection Mechanism.
• If L2GU  Blind, Will always fallback to UMTS Priority based.
• If L2GU  Measured, Can’t measure GU at same time.
• Blind or Measured L2U CSFB:
• Introducing Measured L2U CSFB will Result in 600ms extra delay but with better accuracy than Blind CSFB.
• Recommended U2L PS Redirection Strategy:
• Based on Service not coverage as we need to push the User to LTE even in Less Acceptable Coverage Cases.

FASTRETURNMEASSPT Support Measurement-based Fast LTE Reselect GCELLPRIEUTRANSYS ON

• Below is my feedback after log file analysis with GTAC:


o It’s normal because the UE doesn’t support EUTRAN Measurement.
o So, UE will not Report EUTRAN Neighboring Cells in MRs.
o Resulting that G2L Fast Return will not be effective.

• Also, would like to highlight the below points:


o If UE doesn’t support LTE measurement & Blind Fast Return is disabled, there will be no effective G2L Fast Return.
o In that Case, UE will fast return to 3G or go in Idle Mode.
o GTAC Confirmed that Very few Kind of UEs support the LTE Measurement on 2G like Huawei D2.

• Conclusion:
o As there are no many Commercial UEs Support LTE Measurement on 2G, So it is Recommended to activate the G2L Blind Fast
Return as per Current Network Settings.

5. U2L PS Redirection Time
• As mentioned that “U2LServTrigSource” is the Triggering for U2L Service PS Redirection:
• Trigger Source  Compressed Mode  Event 3C.
• Currently Settings for this parameter are:
 U2L_SERV_PERIOD_TRIGGER-1.
 U2L_SERV_LOWACTIVE_TRIGGER-1.
• There are 2 ways to optimize this triggering source so as to speed up the Redirection:
i. First Way:  Recommended
 U2LServPrdTrigTimerLen (Timer for Periodic Service-based U2L)  10Sec. “Currently 60 Sec.”  RNC Parameter.
 U2LPunishTimer (U2L Penalty Timer)  30Sec. “Currently 60 Sec.”  RNC Parameter.
ii. Second Way:
 U2LServTrigSource  U2L_SERV_RAB_SETUP_TRIGGER-1. “Currently = 0.”  RNC/Cell Parameter.
 U2LPunishTimer (U2L Penalty Timer)  30Sec. “Currently 60 Sec.”  RNC Parameter.
• Disadvantages:
• The number of UMTS to LTE redirections increases.
• If the LTE coverage is poor, the duration for which UEs stay in compressed mode increases and user experience in throughput
deteriorates, call drop rate increase.

HHUISAILWICEOI Page
5. U2L PS Redirection Time – DT Results
• First Trial was implemented Successfully on the 25th of April at 5PM.

• Below Changes were implemented on “KHS_RNC”:


• U2LServPrdTrigTimerLen (Timer for Periodic Service-based U2L)  10Sec.
• U2LPunishTimer (U2L Penalty Timer)  30Sec.

• From DT Results, It is very Clear that U2L PS Redirection time was hugely enhanced as per below:

LTE Description:
PS handover to LTE is performed in the following two scenarios.
Scenarios1: CS voice call hand up in UMTS
CSFB to UMTS is performed when UMST&LTE dual-mode UE trigger a CS voice call in LTE.
Ongoing PS connection will handover to UMTS along with CSFB.
UMTS After voice call terminated, the ongoing PS service will be handover back to LTE.
Scenario2: PS call initiated in UMTS

CSFB Principles:
• Handover to G/U voice service in the overlay coverage area
Internet
between LTE and G/U
PS data • If CSFB voice service is triggered, there are 2 options for the pre-
PS data
existing LTE data services:
LTE Core GSM/UMTS GSM/UMTS
PS Core CS Core • Data services are hand-over to GSM/UMTS networks (DTM
supported by G/U network)
• Data services are suspended in LTE until voice call is released (e.g.
DTM not supported)
LTE Access 2G/3G Access
• SMS services do not need to fall back GSM/UMTS
Voice fall back to GU Dependency:
• No addition Core equipment, Reuse traditional GU Core network
PS data Voice • Multimode G/U/L Terminals to support CSFB

SRVCC

• SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) is a solution to provide continuous voice services on LTE networks.

• SRVCC is a means of inter-RAT handover (RAT stands for radio access technology). It enables a smooth
session transfer from VoIP over IMS on the LTE network to CS services in the UTRAN or GERAN.

R8 CSFB
 Blind Scenario:
 A list of candidate cells is generated on the basis of the blind handover priorities, which are determined by both the RAT-specific priorities and the cell-specific
priorities.
 The RAT-specific priorities used in blind handovers for CSFB are defined through the InterRatHighestPri, InterRatSecondPri, and InterRatLowestPri
parameters.

 Measure Scenario:
 eNB sends the UE the measurement configuration, according to which the UE performs measurements on the specified system. The measurement configuration
sent to the UE contains the configuration information for only the RATs and frequencies that are supported by the UE.
 eNB selects the best cell from UE’s measurement report.

B1 entering condition: Mn  Ofn  Hys 


Thresh
 Mn is the measurement result of the neighboring cell.
 Ofn is the frequency-specific offset for the frequency of the neighboring cell.
 Hys is the hysteresis for event B1.
 Thresh is the threshold for event B1. The values of Thresh are set on the basis of the measurement quantities of each RAT.
 The Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) threshold for CSFB to UTRAN, Ec/No threshold for CSFB to UTRAN, threshold for CSFB to GERAN, and threshold
for CSFB to CDMA2000 1xRTT are specified through the CsfbHoUtranB1ThdRSCP, CsfbHoUtranB1ThdECN0, CsfbHoGeranB1Thd, and
CsfbHoCDMAB1ThdPS parameters respectively.

Adaptive blind CSFB “Not Mature”

LTE Cell
GU Blind Neighbor Cell

LTE Cell edge & Non-edge User’s CSFB Blind HO GU neighbor


cells may be misalignment, due to LTE site not fully reusing the
current GU sites.
Solution:

Distinguish cell edge users from other users by a new A1 event.

The cell edge users will perform measured HO while the other users will perform blind HO. Benefit:
Increasing the success rate of cell edge users’ CSFB.
