WCDMA RAN
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 2 Overview
2 Overview
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a technology that evolves from Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System (UMTS). LTE is gaining momentum to dominate the mobile communications networks.
During the initial stage of LTE network deployment, it is difficult to provide seamless LTE coverage in the
entire network. To solve this problem, the feature Mobility Between UMTS and LTE (WRFD-020126
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE Phase 1) is introduced.
With this feature, a UE supporting both UMTS and LTE can obtain higher rates in areas covered by both
UMTS and LTE. In addition, the UMTS network can take over LTE UEs in areas where the LTE network
does not provide coverage or the LTE network capacity is not enough. The feature protects investments
on the existing network, improves the quality of service (QoS), and enables smooth network evolution.
In a common initial deployment scenario, an LTE network provides high-rate mobile broadband services
in hotspots, whereas a UMTS network provides low- and medium-rate mobile broadband services and
seamless coverage in wide areas.
RAN12.0 supports:
 Cell reselection from UMTS to LTE
 Cell reselection from LTE to UMTS (see the LTE Feature Documentation)
 Handover from LTE to UMTS for coverage (see the LTE Feature Documentation)
RAN13.0 supports:
 PS service redirection from UMTS to LTE

WCDMA RAN
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 3 Cell Selection and Reselection
3 Cell Selection and Reselection

3.1 Overview
When a UE is powered on, it initially selects a public land mobile network (PLMN) based on the radio
access technology (RAT) priorities of PLMNs stored in its SIM card.
If the UE receives system information block type 19 (SIB19) from a UMTS network, it selects a PLMN
based on the RAT priorities of PLMNs included in SIB19. Otherwise, it remains in the current PLMN.
In the UMTS network, SIB19 includes the absolute priority of the serving cell and the absolute priority of
each LTE frequency. When an LTE frequency has a higher absolute priority than the serving cell, the UE
reselects an LTE cell on this frequency if other conditions for LTE cell reselection are also met. When the
absolute priority of each LTE frequency is lower than that of the serving cell, the UE reselects another
UMTS cell if other conditions for UMTS cell reselection are also met.
In the LTE network, SIB3 includes the absolute priority of the serving cell, SIB5 includes the absolute
priority of each LTE frequency, and SIB6 includes the absolute priority of each UMTS frequency. Based
on these priorities, a UE can determine whether to select/reselect a UMTS cell or an LTE cell.
3.2 Cell Reselection Procedure

Based on signal quality of neighboring cells, the UE determines whether to reselect a neighboring cell.
For details about the cell reselection procedure, see the UE Behaviors in Idle Feature Parameter
Description.
3.3 Measurement Criteria

The design of radio resource management (RRM) is closely related to the measurement procedure and
measurement results.
If the absolute priorities of LTE frequencies are configured for the serving cell, these priorities must be
different from the absolute priority of the serving cell. In this case, the criteria for triggering inter-RAT
measurement are as follows:
 If some neighboring LTE cells have higher absolute priorities than the serving cell, the UE measures
these LTE cells.
 If some neighboring LTE cells have lower absolute priorities than the serving cell, the UE measures
these LTE cells under the condition SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2.
Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2 are determined by the ThdPrioritySearch1 and ThdPrioritySearch2
parameters, respectively. These two parameters can be set by using the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or
MOD UCELLSELRESEL command on an RNC LMT.
For details about Srxlev and Squal, see 3GPP TS 25.304.
For neighboring UMTS cells and GSM cells, the criteria for inter-RAT measurement are the same as
those associated with the hierarchical cell structure (HCS), which are described in the UE Behaviors in
Idle Feature Parameter Description.
3.4 Cell Reselection Criteria

After the UE completes the measurement of the serving cell and neighboring cells, the UE reselects the
best available cell to camp on.
For cell reselection between UMTS and GSM, the UE uses the H criteria or R criteria. For details about
the H criteria and R criteria, see the UE Behaviors in Idle Feature Parameter Description.

WCDMA RAN
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 3 Cell Selection and Reselection
For cell reselection between UMTS and LTE, the UE uses the cell reselection criteria based on absolute
priorities.
If the absolute priorities of LTE frequencies are configured for the serving cell, the UE reselects a
neighboring LTE cell if one of the following conditions is met:
 Condition 1:
− This cell has a higher absolute priority than the serving cell.
− SrxlevnonServingCell is greater than Threshhigh, and the duration exceeds Treselection.
 Condition 2:
− This cell has a lower absolute priority than the serving cell.
− SrxlevnonServingCell is greater than Threshlow, and the duration exceeds Treselection.
− SrxlevServingCell
is less than or equal to Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell is less than or equal to Sprioritysearch2,
and the duration exceeds Treselection.
If there are multiple cells meeting these conditions, the UE reselects the cell with the highest absolute
priority. If there are multiple cells with the same highest absolute priority, the UE reselects the cell with
the highest SrxlevnonServingCell.
Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2 are determined by the ThdPrioritySearch1 and ThdPrioritySearch2
parameters, respectively. These two parameters can be set by using the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or
MOD UCELLSELRESEL command on an RNC LMT.
Threshhigh, Threshlow, and Treselection are specified by the ThdToHigh, ThdToLow, and Treselections
parameters, respectively. These parameters can be set by using the ADD CELLNFREQPRIOINFO
command on the RNC LMT.
For each UMTS cell, the absolute priorities of a maximum of eight LTE frequencies can be configured.
3.5 System Information Block Type 19

To access a cell, the UE needs to know the configuration information about the cell. The UE obtains this
type of information by reading the system information that is broadcast in the cell. The system
information is sent by the UTRAN to the UE through the master information block (MIB) and system
information blocks (SIBs). For detailed information about SIBs, see 3GPP TS 25.331.
To enable cell reselection from UMTS to LTE, the UTRAN must send a neighboring LTE cell list and
reselection parameters to the UE. Based on the information, the UE can perform neighboring cell
measurement and reselection.
In the UTRAN, the LTE frequencies and their absolute priorities are indicated in SIB19. Therefore, to
support cell reselection from UMTS to LTE, the RNC must support SIB19.
The UE determines whether to reselect a UMTS cell or an LTE cell based on the following criteria:
 If an LTE frequency has a higher absolute priority than the serving cell, the UE reselects the LTE cell if
other conditions for LTE cell reselection are also met.
 If the broadcasting of SIB19 is disabled or each LTE frequency has a lower absolute priority than the
serving cell, the UE reselects another UMTS cell according to the H criteria or R criteria.
Enabling or disabling SIB19 broadcasting is controlled by the SibCfgBitMap parameter, which can be
set by using the MOD UCELLSIBSWITCH command on the RNC LMT.

WCDMA RAN 4 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE UMTS to LTE
4 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to

LTE
4.1 Overview
This section describes the feature WRFD-020129 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to
LTE (trial).
If a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE establishes only PS services in UMTS under the hybrid macro coverage
of UMTS and LTE, the RNC can redirect the UE to the LTE network.
This feature provides a substitute for PS handover from UMTS to LTE, if the UE or network does not
support the PS handover from UMTS to LTE at the initial stage of UMTS and LTE hybrid network
deployment. With this feature, PS services can be redirected from UMTS to LTE to improve user
experience.
The RNC can redirect a UE from UTMS to LTE, if the following conditions are met:
 The UE reports its capability to the RNC that the UE supports both UMTS and LTE.
 After service setup or service modification, the UE is processing only PS services and all its PS
services are allowed to be established in LTE (the RAB assignment message from the CN does not
contain a restriction against PS handover to LTE).
 The conditions of PS handover from UMTS to LTE are met but the UE or network does not support the
PS handover from UMTS to LTE.
If the network does not support the PS handover, run the ADD ULTECELL command and set the
SuppPSHOFlag parameter to disable the PS handover on the Iu interface to avoid unnecessary
signaling procedures.
If the preceding conditions are met, the RNC sends a measurement control message to the UE and
instructs the UE to measure the signal quality of neighboring LTE cells. If the signal quality of
neighboring LTE cells is desirable, the UE reports event 3C to the RNC. The RNC sends the UE an RRC
CONNECTION RELEASE message, instructing the UE to be redirected to LTE. This message also
carries the information about the LTE frequency.
4.2 Triggering
The requirements for triggering PS service redirection from UMTS to LTE are as follows:
 The HO_LTE_PS_OUT_SWITCH check box in the HoSwitch parameter is selected.
 The HO_LTE_SERVICE_PS_OUT_SWITCH check box in the HoSwitch parameter is selected.
 The UE supports LTE and is capable of being redirected from UMTS to LTE.
 After Radio Access Bearer (RAB) setup, modification, release, and relocation, the RNC checks
whether the information element (IE) E-UTRAN Service Handover is contained in the remaining RABs.
As indicated in 3GPP TS 25.413-930, the E-UTRAN Service Handover IE has only one option
HO_TO_E-UTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM, which indicates that the RAB cannot be redirected
from UMTS to LTE.
− If
the RNC receives an E-UTRAN Service Handover IE from the CN for a given RAB, the RNC does
not trigger the measurement of LTE signals.
− If
the RNC does not receive any E-UTRAN Service Handover IE from the CN for a given RAB, the
RNC triggers the measurement of LTE signals if the EUTRANSHIND parameter is set to
HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM.
− Ifnone of the remaining RABs contains a restriction against service handover to LTE, the RNC
triggers the measurement of LTE signals.

WCDMA RAN 4 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE UMTS to LTE
4.3 Measurement
The RNC sends a measurement control command to the UE to initiate the measurement of LTE signals.
Only event 3C is involved in the measurement control process of service redirection.
The following table describes the details of the measurement.
Item Description
Measurement The measurement quantity is reference signal receiving power (RSRP) or reference
quantity signal receiving quality (RSRQ).
If LTEMeasTypOf3C is set to BOTH, the measure quantities are both of RSRP and
RSRQ.
If LTEMeasTypOf3C is set to Measurement quantity, the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter
specifies the measure quantity.
Report mode Only the report of event 3C is supported.
When the conditions for reporting event 3C are met for a period specified by the
TrigTime3C parameter, the UE sends a measurement report of event 3C.
Measurement The radio network performance is affected if the UE implements the measurement in
time compressed mode for a long period of time. To prevent this impact, the RNC stops the
measurement and deactivates the compressed mode to stop the service redirection, if no
redirection decision is made upon the expiration of the timer U2LTEMeasTime.
Neighboring A maximum of 32 neighboring LTE cells can be configured by using the ADD ULTECELL
cell list command.
The SuppPSHOFlag parameter is used to enable or disable the PS handover procedure
to a neighboring LTE cell.
Event 3C is triggered on the basis of the following formula:

MOtherRAT≥ TOtherRAT + H3c/2
Where,
 MOtherRAT is the filtered measurement value of the LTE cell. U2LTEFilterCoef specifies the filter
coefficient for the measurement value.
 TOtherRAT is the absolute inter-RAT redirection threshold and can be set by TargetRatThdRSRP and
TargetRatThdRSRQ.
 H3c is the hysteresis value of event 3C and can be set by Hystfor3C.
4.4 Decision and Execution

After receiving the measurement report of event 3C of an LTE cell, the RNC redirects the UE to the LTE
cell.
The RNC sends the UE an RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message and indicates the frequency of the
target LTE cell. The UE attempts to access the LTE cell on the frequency indicated in the message.

WCDMA RAN
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 5 Engineering Guidelines
5 Engineering Guidelines
5.1 Typical Scenarios
Typical Scenario 1
In the early stage of LTE network deployment, the network does not support CS services. To make voice
calls, users have to fall back to UMTS by using the Circuit Switch FallBack (CSFB) feature.
After the CS service of a UE falls back to UMTS, the PS service of the UE is also falls back from LTE to
UMTS. A PS service generally lasts longer than a CS service. Assuming that a UE under the UMTS and
LTE overlapping coverage has ended a CS service in UMTS and still has an ongoing PS service, the UE
and the ongoing PS service will be redirected to LTE.
Typical Scenario 2
When a UE under the UMTS and LTE overlapping coverage originates a PS service in UMTS, the RNC
makes a decision based on the indication in the RAB assignment message sent by the core network
(CN). If the indication does not specify RABs that cannot be shifted to LTE, the RNC will hand the UE
over to LTE if the LTE signal quality is satisfactory.
5.2 Main Factors Affecting This Feature

The RNC decides whether to redirect the UE to LTE, based on the IE "E-UTRAN Service Handover" in
the RAB assignment message or the Relocation Request message from the CN. If this IE specifies that
a RAB cannot be set up in LTE, the UE cannot be redirected to LTE. The UMTS-to-LTE PS handover or
redirection of a dual-mode UE is determined by the CN settings. If the CN does not issue the settings,
the RNC makes decision based on the parameter setting in the RNC.
The UE must support LTE signal measurement and UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection. This is because the
UE needs to measure the LTE signal quality before a redirection can be performed. Quality-based
redirection increases the redirection success rate and decreases the call drop rate.
5.3 Suggestions for Deploying This Feature

Compared with the PS redirection, the PS handover interrupts services for a shorter amount of time but
causes a heavier signaling load. Therefore, a PS handover is preferred if the network is capable of
handling the heavy signaling load. Otherwise, a PS redirection is preferred.
5.4 Performance Monitoring

The counter VS.U2LTEHO.RRCRelease.Service can be used to measure the number of service-based
cell-level redirections from UMTS to LTE triggered by the RRC Connection Release message.

UCORRMALGOSWITC 1) HO_ALGO_HCS_SPEED_EST_SWITCH:
H(Optional) When the switch is on, the RNC evaluates the
UE's moving speed in the HCS and initiates fast
intra-layer or slow inter-layer handover.
2) HO_ALGO_LDR_ALLOW_SHO_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the LDR inter-frequency
handover is allowed during soft handover.
3) HO_ALGO_MBMS_FLC_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the UE requires that the redirection
strategy be used for frequency layer
convergence.
4) HO_ALGO_OVERLAY_SWITCH: When the

mobility algorithms of the overlay network are
used. When the switch is not on, the associated
algorithms are not used. Overlay network is an
UTRAN network covering present network, it
supports HSPA, MBMS and other new features.
To satisfy new requirements of operator and
restrictions of present network, overlay network
realizes operation distribution and load sharing
between new network and present network, also
gives special handling for mobility management
of network verge.
5) HO_INTER_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH:

inter-frequency measure control and the CS
inter-RAT hard handover from the 3G network to
the 2G network.
7)
HO_INTER_RAT_PS_3G2G_CELLCHG_NACC
_SWITCH: When the switch is on, the NACC
function is supported during the PS inter-RAT
handover from the 3G network to the 2G network
in the cell change order process. When the
switch is not on, the NACC function is not
supported. When
PS_3G2G_RELOCATION_SWITCH is ON, this
switch is useless. When the NACC function is
supported, the UE skips the reading procedure
as the SI/PSI of the target cell is provided after
the UE accesses the 2G cell. Thus, the delay of
inter-cell handover is reduced.
8)
HO_INTER_RAT_PS_3G2G_RELOCATION_S
WITCH: When the switch is on, the PS inter-RAT
handover from the 3G network to the 2G network
is performed in the relocation process. When the

the delivery of intra-frequency measurement
control if the UE version is R6.
15) HO_INTRA_FREQ_SOFT_HO_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the cells on the RNC can
active the soft handover. When the RNC
receives reports on the events 1A, 1B, 1C, or 1D,
associated addition, removal, and replacement
of handover cell of the soft handover are
initiated.
16)

When the switch is on, intra-frequency handover
is allowed over the Iur interface if the UE has
only signaling.
19) HO_MC_SIGNAL_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, quality measurement on the active
set is delivered after signaling setup but before
service setup. If the UE is at the cell verge or
receives weak signals after accessing the
network, the RNC can trigger inter-frequency or
inter-RAT handover when the UE sets up the
RRC.
20) HO_MC_SNA_RESTRICTION_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the RNC controls the UEs
in the connected state based on the
configurations on the CN. The UEs can only

LTE MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to
the UE based on service and to initiate an
inter-RAT PS service-based handover from
UMTS to LTE. When this bit field is not selected,
this switch is set to OFF. In this case, the RNC is
not allowed to send an LTE MEASUREMENT
CONTROL message to the UE based on service
or to initiate an inter-RAT PS service-based
handover from UMTS to LTE.
23) HO_H2G_SRVCC_SWITCH :This bit is a
Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC)
switch for the VoIP service that is handed over to
GERAN. SRVCC ensures the continuity of voice
services that are handed over between the CS
domain and the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).

onal) reselection between different cells. Note that the
value 0 corresponds to the default value defined
in the protocol.
Set the parameter as follows:
1. Ensure that the UE can reselect a cell when
crossing the non-soft-switch area of the cell and
that the UE timely performs location updates,
cell updates, or URA updates when necessary.
2. Ensure that the UE does not reselect a cell
when it is in the soft-switch area of the cell. In
this way, the unnecessary location updates, cell
updates, and URA updates are avoided.
3. Consider the difference between cells that
cover different areas, for example the cells
covering highways and cells covering densely
populated areas. TIf the parameter is set to a
comparatively low value, the ping-pong
reselections may be caused. The parameter can
be increased in populated area and reduced in
high-speed movement. If the parameter is set to
a comparatively high value, the cell reselection
delay may become excessively high, and thus
cell reselections may be affected.
