CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 3 General Principles
3 General Principles
Overview
Circuit switched fallback (CSFB) and voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) are the two
standard solutions for providing voice services to UEs on LTE networks. Considering the
technological maturity, industry chains, and deployment costs, CSFB is preferred as an
interim solution for voice service access before commercial use of the IP multimedia
subsystem (IMS) matures. CSFB allows for more efficient use of legacy CS networks.
With the CSFB solution, when a UE initiates a CS service, such as a voice service, short
message service (SMS), location service (LCS), or emergency call, the mobility management
entity (MME) instructs the UE to fall back to a legacy CS network before the UE accesses the
service. CSFB is a session setup procedure, in which the UE falls back to the CS network
before the CS session is set up and stays on the CS network during the CS session. For details,
see 3GPP TS 23.272 V8.5.0.
Applicable Scenarios
CSFB can be used when the coverage area of the UTRAN/GERAN is at least as large as that
of the evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN).
All mobile switching centers (MSCs) whose served areas overlap E-UTRAN coverage must
be upgraded to support the SGs interfaces between the MSCs and the MMEs. After the
upgrade, the MSCs can provide CSFB-related functions including combined attach, combined
tracking area update/location area update (TAU/LAU), paging, and SMS. If the live network
uses an MSC pool, only one or several of the MSCs in the MSC pool need to be upgraded to
support the SGs interface.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 4 CSFB to UTRAN

4.1 Principles
This function is controlled by the UtranCsfbSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter. Figure 4-1 shows the procedure for CSFB to
UTRAN.

eRAN
Figure 4-1 CSFB procedure
The CSFB procedure is described in detail in the following sections:

l 4.1.1 Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection
l 4.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection
l 4.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency Selection
l 4.1.4 Decision
l 4.1.5 Execution
An enhancement to CSFB to UTRAN is described in 4.1.6 Load-based CSFB to UTRAN.
4.1.1 Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection

After the eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator, it selects either blind or measurement-
based handling. Figure 4-2 illustrates how this selection is performed. If UTRAN and E-
UTRAN cells cover the same area, or if the UTRAN cell covers a larger area than the E-
UTRAN cell, blind handling is recommended because the CSFB delay is shorter.

eRAN
Figure 4-2 Blind/Measurement-based handling selection
The eNodeB- and cell-level blind handover switches described in Figure 4-2 are:
l The BlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter.
l The BlindHoSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter.
The measurement configuration for measurement-based handling is the same as that for
coverage-based handovers from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see Mobility Management
in Connected Mode.
CSFB to UTRAN uses the same set of event-B1-related parameters as the coverage-based
inter-RAT handovers except the threshold and time-to-trigger for event B1, which are
described in Table 4-1.

Time To Trig UtranTimeToTrig
Blind Handling
After selecting blind handling, the eNodeB can choose whether to use adaptive blind handling
for CSFB. The CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable adaptive blind
handling. This function does not take effect when optimization of redirection-based CSFB for
RRC_IDLE UEs is enabled. The optimization is controlled by the
IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter.
For details about this optimization function, see 4.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection.
If E-UTRAN and UTRAN base stations are co-sited and the E-UTRAN coverage area is
larger than the UTRAN coverage area, the eNodeB uses adaptive blind handling to estimate
the signal strength of the neighboring UTRAN cells based on the signal strength of the
serving E-UTRAN cell. The procedure is shown in Figure 4-3.

eRAN
Figure 4-3 Adaptive blind handling for CSFB
The threshold for event A1 is specified by the CSFallBackHo.BlindHoA1ThdRsrp

parameter. The event-A1-related mechanisms are the same as those for coverage-based
handovers from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see Mobility Management in Connected
Mode.
4.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection

There are two policies for CSFB from E-UTRAN to UTRAN: PS handover and redirection.
PS handover takes priority over redirection. Figure 4-4 shows how the policy is selected. This
section assumes that neighboring frequencies and cells have been configured appropriately.

eRAN
Figure 4-4 EUTRAN-to-UTRAN CSFB policy selection procedure
Figure 4-4 involves the following parameters:

l The CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectTimer parameter specifies the CSFB protection timer. If
the UE fallback has not been completed by the time this timer expires, the eNodeB takes
protection measures, as described in 4.1.5 Execution.

eRAN
l If the function described in 6 Flash CSFB to UTRAN is enabled, the

InterRatHoComm.UtranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameter must be specified.
l For parameters related to blind handling selection and adaptive blind handling, see 4.1.1
Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection.
l The CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter specifies the handover mode switch.
For FDD, if operators have their own network capabilities for PS handover in RAN
sharing scenarios, the Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN function
can be enabled to specify whether to select PS handover for a particular operator. For
details on how to activate this function, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
– The Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN function is controlled
by the UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter.
– The PS handover capability of an operator for Separate Mobility Policies to
UTRAN for Multi PLMN is specified by the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc, and UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId parameters and
the PsHoCapCfg option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg parameter.
If the capability is not configured for a given operator or RNC, PS handover is
supported by default.
l The CSFB policy is determined by different parameters, depending on whether the
function described in 10 CSFB Steering to UTRAN is enabled.
– If the function is enabled, the parameter for specifying the CSFB policy depends on
the UE status:
n The CSFB policy for RRC_IDLE UEs is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.
n The CSFB policy for RRC_CONNECTED UEs is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.
– If the function is disabled, the CSFB policy is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter, regardless of whether UEs are
in idle or connected mode.
If neither the REDIRECTION nor PS_HO option of these CSFB-policy-related
parameters is selected and measurement-based handling is used, the eNodeB does not
apply any CSFB policy to a UE until the CSFB protection timer expires. Upon the
expiration, the eNodeB performs a blind redirection. If blind handling is used, the
eNodeB directly performs a blind redirection for CSFB.
During a blind PS handover for CSFB, if the preparation for the handover to the 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 the preparation for the
handover to last cell still fails, the eNodeB performs a blind redirection.
If blind redirection is selected, the IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter can be selected to enable optimization of
redirection-based CSFB for RRC_IDLE UEs. The optimization accelerates CSFB by reducing
the end-to-end delay. It also reduces the probability that CSFB will fail because of an initial
context setup failure. For details about the signaling procedure used for optimization of
redirection-based CSFB for RRC_IDLE UEs, see 19.1.6 Redirection-based CSFB
Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode.

eRAN
NOTE
This function is alternatively controlled by the IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the eNodeB-level

parameter GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch.
If the option of the eNodeB-level parameter is selected, the option setting of the cell-level parameter
does not take effect; otherwise, the option setting of the cell-level parameter takes effect.
It is recommended that the cell-level parameter be used because the eNodeB-level parameter will no
longer be used in later versions.
4.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency Selection

In measurement-based handling for a UE, the eNodeB determines target cells for
measurement through operations described in this section and instructs the UE to measure
these cells. The eNodeB then selects a target cell for the handover or a target frequency for the
redirection through operations described in 4.1.4 Decision.
In blind handling for a UE, the eNodeB can select a target cell for the handover or a target
frequency for the redirection through operations described in this section.
The target cell or frequency selection procedure includes the following three steps, regardless
of whether measurement-based or blind handling is used:
1. The eNodeB selects the target RAT.
To prioritize a given RAT in measurement-based or blind handling, perform the
following operations:
– For measurement-based handling, enable both CSFB steering to UTRAN and CSFB
steering to GERAN. These functions allow for flexible configuration of target RATs
based on UE states. For details about the principles, see 10 CSFB Steering to
UTRAN and 11 CSFB Steering to GERAN.
– For blind handling, set the parameters listed in Table 4-2. The eNodeB selects a
target RAT based on RAT priorities without considering UE states. If both eNodeB-
and cell-level parameters are configured, the cell-level parameter settings prevail.
Alternatively, you can enable the preceding two functions mentioned in
measurement-based handling to allow for flexible configuration of target RATs
based on UE states.

2. The eNodeB filters frequencies and neighboring cells.

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:

eRAN
– Blacklisted neighboring cells

– Neighboring cells to which handovers are prohibited as indicated by the No
handover indicator parameter among cells in neighboring cell lists
– Neighboring cells that do not belong to any PLMN in the PLMN list among cells in
neighboring cell lists
A PLMN list consists of three parts:
n The PLMN that the serving cell belongs to
n The PLMNs configured in InterPlmnHoList managed objects (MOs), when
the InterPlmnHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected
n The equivalent PLMNs whose IDs are obtained by the eNodeB from the
information element (IE) Handover Restriction List (sent by the MME), when
both the InterPlmnHoSwitch and EPlmnSwitch options of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter are selected
– Cells to which handovers are forbidden as indicated by the Handover Restriction
List IE in the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message sent from the
MME
3. The eNodeB selects the target cell or frequency.
– In measurement-based handling, the eNodeB delivers a measurement configuration
to the UE, instructing the UE to measure the target cells. Figure 4-5 shows the
procedure for selecting the target cells for measurement.
Figure 4-5 Procedure for selecting the target cells for measurement

eRAN
The procedure shown in Figure 4-5 involves the following data configuration and
actions:
n Neighboring UTRAN frequencies are configured in UtranNFreq MOs.
n The service steering priorities are specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or
UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. For details about these
parameters, see 10 CSFB Steering to UTRAN and 12 Coverage-based E-
UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering.
n The priorities of neighboring UTRAN frequencies for RRC_CONNECTED
UEs are specified by the UtranNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter.
n The measurement priorities of neighboring UTRAN cells can be automatically
optimized by the inter-RAT neighbor relationship self-configuration function,
which is controlled by the UTRAN_SWITCH option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter. It is recommended that
this option be selected only if automatic neighbor relation (ANR) is enabled.
○ If this option is selected, the eNodeB automatically optimizes the
UtranNCell.NCellMeasPriority parameter setting for neighboring
UTRAN cells. This parameter cannot be modified manually. For details,
see ANR Management.
○ If this option is deselected, the measurement priority of a neighboring cell
is specified by the UtranNCell.CellMeasPriority parameter, which must
be configured manually.
n When the eNodeB selects highest-priority frequencies or cells, the number of
frequencies or cells selected does not exceed the maximum permissible
number. It is recommended that the highest priorities be set for the neighboring
UTRAN frequencies or cells that share the site with and have the same
coverage as the E-UTRAN cell. If there are several target frequencies with the
same priority, the UTRAN_CSFB_FREQ_CHOOSE_OPT_SW option of
the GlobalProcSwitch.CsfbFlowOptSwitch parameter can be selected so that
the eNodeB selects target frequencies at random.
n For FDD, the maximum permissible number of frequencies is specified by the
CellUeMeasControlCfg.MaxUtranFddMeasFreqNum parameter.
n 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.
– If blind handover is used, neighboring UTRAN cells must be configured on the
eNodeB and be assigned blind-handover priorities before the eNodeB can select a
cell as the target cell for the blind handover. Figure 4-6 shows the selection
procedure.

eRAN
Figure 4-6 Target cell selection for a blind handover
actions:
n The service steering priority is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or
n Neighboring UTRAN cells are configured in UtranNCell MOs.
n The blind-handover priorities of neighboring UTRAN cells are specified by
the UtranNCell.BlindHoPriority parameter.
n If there is more than one frequency or neighboring cell of the highest priority,
the eNodeB selects one at random.
– If blind redirection is used, neighboring UTRAN frequencies and their priorities for
RRC_CONNECTED UEs must be configured before the eNodeB can select a target
frequency for blind redirection. Neighboring UTRAN cell configurations are not
required. Figure 4-7 shows the selection procedure.

eRAN
Figure 4-7 Target frequency selection for blind redirection
actions:
n Neighboring UTRAN frequencies are configured in UtranNFreq MOs.
n The priorities of neighboring UTRAN frequencies for RRC_CONNECTED
UEs are specified by the UtranNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter.
n The service steering priority is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or
n Neighboring UTRAN cells are configured in UtranNCell MOs.
n The eNodeB selects a frequency from the candidates based on blind-handover
priorities of neighboring cells as follows:
○ If neighboring cells are assigned non-zero blind-handover priorities,
specified by UtranNCell.BlindHoPriority, the eNodeB selects the
operating frequency of the cell with the highest blind-handover priority.
○ If all blind-handover priorities are 0, the eNodeB considers frequency
priorities for RRC_CONNECTED UEs. It selects the frequency with the
highest priority for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.
n The PLMN information about neighboring UTRAN frequencies is contained
in the UtranRanShare or UtranExternalCell MOs.

eRAN
n If there is more than one frequency with the highest service steering priority
during final frequency selection, the eNodeB checks whether cells on these
frequencies are assigned blind-handover priorities.
○ If they are not assigned, the eNodeB selects the frequency with the
highest priority for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.
○ If they are assigned, the eNodeB selects the operating frequency of the
cell with the highest blind-handover priority.
n If there is more than one frequency with the highest priority for
RRC_CONNECTED UEs or with the highest blind-handover priority during
final frequency selection, the eNodeB selects one at random. Alternatively, if
the UTRAN_CSFB_FREQ_CHOOSE_OPT_SW option of the
GlobalProcSwitch.CsfbFlowOptSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB
randomly selects a frequency as follows:
○ If all the blind-handover priorities of the neighboring cells on all
candidate frequencies are 0, the eNodeB selects a target frequency at
random.
○ If not all blind-handover priorities of the neighboring cells on all
candidate frequencies are 0, the eNodeB selects a target frequency based
on the percentage of neighboring cells with the highest blind-handover
priority. More neighboring cells with the highest blind-handover priority
on a frequency indicate a higher probability for the frequency to be
selected.
n If it is found during final frequency selection that the PLMN of a neighboring
UTRAN frequency is different from the PLMN that the UE belongs to and the
PLMN is not included in the inter-PLMN list or equivalent PLMN list, the
eNodeB starts frequency selection for a blind redirection to the second-priority
RAT.
4.1.4 Decision
In measurement-based handling, the eNodeB evaluates the measurement reports (MRs) sent
from the UE and selects a target cell for handover or a target frequency for redirection. Two
evaluation methods are provided: basic handling based on a single MR and comprehensive
handling based on multiple MRs. The former takes effect by default. No additional
configuration is required. The latter takes effect based on parameter settings.
Basic Handling Based on a Single MR

The eNodeB handles the reported MRs in a first-in first-out manner. Based on the current
MR, the eNodeB generates a list of candidate cells arranged in order of signal quality, from
best to worst.
When the CSFB policy is handover, the eNodeB sends a handover request to candidate cells
in sequence. If the handover request for a candidate cell fails, the eNodeB sends the handover
request to the next candidate cell. If the handover request fails in all cells in the candidate cell
list, the eNodeB waits for the UE to send the next measurement report.
When the CSFB policy is redirection, the eNodeB selects the operating frequency of the first
cell in the candidate cell list for redirection.

eRAN
Comprehensive Handling Based on Multiple MRs

In this method, the eNodeB can wait for multiple MRs. It selects candidate cells from the
MRs to generate a candidate cell list and then generates a final candidate cell list. This method
is controlled by the CellHoParaCfg.L2UCsfbMRProMode parameter.
This parameter can be set to HANDOVER_IMMEDIATELY,
BASED_ON_SIGNAL_STRENGTH, or BASED_ON_FREQ_PRIORITY. Figure 4-8
shows the candidate cell list generation and evaluation procedure under different parameter
settings. When this parameter is set to HANDOVER_IMMEDIATELY, the comprehensive
handling procedure is the same as the basic handling procedure. For emergency call UEs, the
HANDOVER_IMMEDIATELY value takes effect no matter which value this parameter is
set to.

eRAN
Figure 4-8 Candidate cell list generation and evaluation procedure
The MR waiting timer for CSFB in Figure 4-8 is specified by the

CellHoParaCfg.CsfbMRWaitingTimer parameter.
If the attempts of handover to all the cells in the final candidate cell list generated based on
signal strength (BASED_ON_SIGNAL_STRENGTH) or frequency priority

eRAN
(BASED_ON_FREQ_PRIORITY) fail, the eNodeB no longer starts the timer but performs
the handover evaluation immediately after receiving a new MR.
BASED_ON_SIGNAL_STRENGTH is suitable for scenarios where the eNodeB delivers
measurement configurations for multiple frequencies and must select the cell with the best
signal strength for a handover or the frequency with the best signal strength for a redirection
from those included in MRs. If the eNodeB delivers measurement configurations for only one
frequency, BASED_ON_SIGNAL_STRENGTH is equivalent to
HANDOVER_IMMEDIATELY.
4.1.5 Execution
This section describes CSFB protection, process optimization, penalty, and retries during the
execution.
CSFB Protection
The CSFB protection timer is specified by the CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectTimer parameter.
If the UE fallback has not been completed by the time the CSFB protection timer expires, the
eNodeB takes protection measures as follows:
l If the fallback of a UE to UTRAN is performed through a blind PS handover, the
eNodeB delivers the operating frequency of the target UTRAN cell for the handover to
the UE for a blind redirection.
l If the fallback of a UE to UTRAN is performed through a measurement-based PS
handover or redirection, the eNodeB acts differently based on whether it has received
inter-RAT measurement reports from the UE when the timer expires.
– If the eNodeB has received inter-RAT measurement reports from the UE, the
eNodeB delivers the operating frequency of the target UTRAN cell for the
handover to the UE for a redirection.
– If the eNodeB has not received inter-RAT measurement reports from the UE, the
eNodeB performs an emergency blind redirection in compliance with the following
rules:
n 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 a blind redirection. If only the UTRAN is available, the
eNodeB still selects the UTRAN for a blind redirection. If both systems have
been measured, the eNodeB selects a frequency based on the settings of the
CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri and
CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.IdleCsfbHighestPri parameters.
n If there is no target frequency available for blind redirection, the eNodeB stops
the procedure.
Process Optimization
l Handover and CSFB procedure conflict resolution
If an RRC_CONNECTED UE initiates a CSFB procedure during the preparation for an
S1- or X2-based handover, 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 request in such a
scenario, the CSFB call fails.

eRAN
When a UE is attaching to the network or one 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 considers the handover request from the
eNodeB as inappropriate and discards it. The eNodeB waits for a response to the
handover request for 20s (default timer value). If the eNodeB receives a UE CONTEXT
MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the CS Fallback Indicator IE from the MME
within the 20s, the eNodeB rejects the CSFB request and therefore the CSFB call fails.
To resolve CSFB call failure problems in these scenarios, the eNodeB needs to
preferentially process the CSFB procedure. If the CsfbFlowFirstSwitch option of the
GlobalProcSwitch.HoProcCtrlSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB preferentially
processes the CSFB procedure during handover preparation. If the eNodeB receives a
UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message containing the CS Fallback
Indicator IE before it sends a handover indication over the air interface, the eNodeB
cancels the handover and performs an emergency blind redirection for CSFB.
NOTE
If a CSFB procedure conflicts with a context-free inter-eNodeB reestablishment, the eNodeB

preferentially processes the reestablishment procedure.
l CSFB admission optimization for RRC_IDLE UEs
An RRC_IDLE UE only has a default bearer for data service, and the allocation and
retention priority (ARP) of the default bearer is generally low. During CSFB to a cell that
is congested or that cannot accommodate more UEs due to the limitation on the number
of UEs, this UE cannot preempt resources in the target cell for CSFB. 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 RRC_IDLE UEs are admitted to target cells for CSFB. For details
about the admission procedure, see Admission and Congestion Control.
Retry and Penalty

For CSFB based on PS handover, if admission to the target cell fails for resource or non-
resource reasons after the eNodeB sends a handover request to the target cell, the eNodeB
penalizes the target cell. During the penalty period, the eNodeB prohibits UEs from being
handed over to that cell, preventing the transmission of unnecessary handover requests and
the increase in the handover preparation failure rate. After the penalty period, if the target cell
meets handover requirements, the eNodeB retries handovers to that cell. For details about the
penalty and retry, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
If an emergency blind redirection procedure for CSFB is triggered, the eNodeB does not
consider whether the target cell is penalized during target cell selection.
4.1.6 Load-based CSFB to UTRAN

This function is an enhancement to the CSFB to UTRAN function. The
CSFBLoadInfoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter specifies
whether to enable this enhanced function.
This function enables the eNodeB to use the RIM procedure in Multiple Reports mode to
obtain the load information about UTRAN cells. For details about RIM-related principles and
parameter configurations, see the descriptions of RIM for E-UTRAN to obtain load

eRAN
information of UTRAN cells in RIM. After receiving the load information about UTRAN
cells, the eNodeB stores the information and considers the information when determining the
target UTRAN cell for CSFB.
In load-based CSFB to UTRAN, the measurement-based and blind handling procedures are
the same as those in the CSFB to UTRAN function.
There are four UTRAN cell load states: Normal, Midload, Congestion, and Overload. After
load-based CSFB to UTRAN is enabled, the eNodeB selects target cells for CSFB to UTRAN
in descending order of priority in cell load status: Normal > Midload > Congestion >
Overload.
If all of the cells in a measurement report received by the eNodeB are in the Congestion or
Overload state and the eNodeB selects any of these cells as a handover target cell, handover
preparation may fail due to the high load state. To prevent this failure, operators can select the
BASED_ON_LOAD option of the CellHoParaCfg.L2UCsfbMRProMode parameter. After
this option is selected, the eNodeB selects target cells as follows:
l In a measurement-based handover (which is the scenario where operators are advised to

select the BASED_ON_LOAD option), the eNodeB does not select cells whose load
status is Congestion or Overload in the measurement reports. If the load status of all of
the cells in a measurement report is Congestion or Overload, the eNodeB waits for
subsequent measurement reports until it receives a measurement report that contains
cells whose load status is Normal or Midload. The eNodeB then selects one of these
cells as the target cell. If the CSFB protection timer expires while the eNodeB is waiting
for measurement reports, the eNodeB triggers a blind redirection.
l In a measurement-based redirection, the eNodeB filters out the frequencies on which the
cells are all in the Congestion or Overload state. The eNodeB does not deliver these
frequencies to the UE for redirection. The eNodeB waits until it receives a measurement
report that contains cells whose load status is Normal or Midload. The eNodeB then
delivers the operating frequencies of these cells to the UE for redirection. If the CSFB
protection timer expires before the eNodeB can deliver appropriate frequencies to the
UE, the eNodeB triggers a blind redirection.
If flash CSFB to UTRAN is enabled, the eNodeB preferentially includes the system
information of the cells whose load status is Normal or Midload in an RRC Connection
Release message. If the number of these cells is less than the
InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxUtranCellNum parameter value, the eNodeB also
includes the system information of the cells whose load status is Congestion or
Overload in the message. The total number of cells whose system information is
included in the message cannot exceed the
InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxUtranCellNum parameter value.
In load-based CSFB to UTRAN, cell load status affects the target cell selection for CSFB but
does not affect frequency selection for measurement, if necessary, in an earlier phase. The
eNodeB does not select a low-priority frequency for measurement because all UTRAN cells
on a high-priority frequency are overloaded.
4.2 Network Analysis
4.2.1 Benefits
CSFB offers the following benefits:

eRAN
l It facilitates CS services for LTE networks.

l It helps operators reduce costs by reusing legacy CS networks with no need to deploy an
IMS network.
4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
CSFB affects the access success rate as follows:
l If redirection is used as the CSFB policy, each CSFB procedure is an access procedure
for the initiation of a new CS service in the UTRAN. Therefore, the access success rate
for CSFB UEs is theoretically the same as that for normal CS UEs in the UTRAN.
l If PS handover is used as the CSFB policy, the access success rate for CSFB UEs
depends on the success rate of handovers to the target RAT. Handover-based CS service
access has a higher requirement for signal quality than 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.

4.4 Operation and Maintenance
4.4.1 Data Configuration (FDD)
4.4.1.1 Data Preparation

Before configuring CSFB to UTRAN, collect data related to neighbor relationships with
UTRAN cells. For details about how to collect data for the parameters related to neighboring
UTRAN cells, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode. This section only provides
information about the managed objects (MOs) related to neighboring UTRAN cells.
1. UtranNFreq: used to configure neighboring UTRAN frequencies.
2. UtranExternalCell: used to configure external UTRAN cells. The
UtranExternalCell.Rac parameter must be set.
3. UtranExternalCellPlmn: used to configure additional PLMN IDs for each shared
external UTRAN cell. This MO is required only if the NodeB that serves the external
UTRAN cell works in RAN sharing with common carriers mode and multiple operators
share the external UTRAN cell.
4. UtranNCell: used to configure the neighbor relationship with a UTRAN cell. If blind
handovers to a neighboring UTRAN cell are allowed according to the network plan, a
blind-handover priority must be specified for the cell by setting the
UtranNCell.BlindHoPriority parameter.

4.4.2 Activation Verification

Signaling
The verification procedure is as follows:
1. Enable a UE to camp on an E-UTRAN cell, and use the UE to 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 use the UE to receive a voice call so that
the UE falls back to a UTRAN cell and completes the call.
The activation verification procedure for load-based CSFB to UTRAN is as follows:
Assume that there are two UTRAN cells A and B. They are both included in UE-reported
MRs. Cell A is under overload control and cell B in the normal state. The RSCP of cell A is
greater than that of cell B.
When measurement-based PS handover is used for CSFB to UTRAN:
1. If the RSCP of cell B meets the handover requirements, the eNodeB transfers the UE to
cell B.
2. 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 and queuing.
Figure 4-9 and Figure 4-10 show example procedures for CSFB to UTRAN for a mobile-
originated call and CSFB to UTRAN for a mobile-terminated call, respectively. In the
examples, the UE was in idle mode before the call and redirection is used for the fallback.
NOTE
In the following figures, the UE on the left side and the UE on the right side are the same UE. The
messages on the UTRAN side are only for reference.

eRAN
Figure 4-9 CSFB to UTRAN using redirection for a mobile-originated call

eRAN
Figure 4-10 CSFB to UTRAN using redirection for a mobile-terminated call
If the UE capability information 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
information 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 B1-
related measurement configuration.
If blind redirection is used for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB does not deliver the B1-related
measurement configuration. It sends an RRC Connection Release (RRC Conn Rel in the
figures) message to the UE. As shown in the red and green boxes in Figure 4-11, in the RRC
Connection Release message, the cause value is "other" and the target RAT is UTRAN. For an
emergency call, the cause value is "CSFBhighpriority."

eRAN
Figure 4-11 mobilityFromEUTRACommand IE sent during CSFB to UTRAN
If PS handover is used for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB initiates a PS handover procedure
rather than send an RRC Connection Release message to the UE after receiving a
measurement report from the UE. Figure 4-12 shows the PS handover procedure. As shown
in the red and green boxes in Figure 4-13, in the handover command sent over the air
interface, the cs-FallbackIndicator IE is TRUE and the target RAT is UTRAN.

MML Commands
To verify the activation of load-based CSFB to UTRAN, run the DSP
UTRANRIMLOADINFO command to query neighboring UTRAN cell load status obtained
through the RIM procedure.
If the neighboring UTRAN cell load status is displayed, load-based CSFB has been activated
and the eNodeB has obtained the neighboring UTRAN cell load information.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 5 CSFB to GERAN
5 CSFB to GERAN
5.1 Principles
The GeranCsfbSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter specifies
whether to enable this function.

eRAN
Figure 5-1 CSFB procedure
The CSFB procedure is described in detail in the following sections:

l 5.1.1 Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection
l 5.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection
l 5.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency Selection
l 5.1.4 Decision
l 5.1.5 Execution

After the eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator, it selects either blind or measurement-
based handling. Figure 5-2 illustrates how this selection is performed. If GERAN and E-
UTRAN cells cover the same area, or if the GERAN cell covers a larger area than the E-
UTRAN cell, blind handling is recommended because the CSFB delay is shorter.

eRAN
Figure 5-2 Blind/Measurement-based handling selection
The eNodeB- and cell-level blind handover switches described in Figure 5-2 are:
l The BlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter
l The BlindHoSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter
The measurement configuration for measurement-based handling is the same as that for
coverage-based handovers from E-UTRAN to GERAN. For details, see Mobility Management
in Connected Mode.
CSFB to GERAN uses the same set of event-B1-related parameters as the coverage-based
inter-RAT handovers except the threshold and time-to-trigger for event B1, which are
described in Table 5-1.

Trigger Threshold

eRAN
When the CSFB_MEAS_DEL_INTERFREQ_SW option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.MeasOptAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB takes the following
actions for measurement optimization:
l When a GERAN measurement is triggered by CSFB, the eNodeB releases all inter-
frequency measurements of the UE.
l When a CSFB-triggered GERAN measurement is ongoing, the eNodeB no longer
instructs the UE to start inter-frequency measurements.
Blind Handling
After selecting blind handling, the eNodeB can choose whether to use adaptive blind handling
for CSFB. The CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this adaptive blind
handling function. This function does not take effect when optimization of redirection-based
CSFB for RRC_IDLE UEs is enabled. The optimization is controlled by the
IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter.
For details this optimization function, see 5.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection.
If E-UTRAN and GERAN base stations are co-sited and the E-UTRAN coverage area is
larger than the GERAN coverage area, the eNodeB uses this adaptive blind handling function
to estimate the signal strength of the neighboring GERAN cells based on the signal strength
of the serving E-UTRAN cell. The procedure is shown in Figure 5-3.

eRAN
Figure 5-3 Adaptive blind handling for CSFB
The threshold for event A1 is specified by the CSFallBackHo.BlindHoA1ThdRsrp

parameter. The event-A1-related mechanisms are the same as those for coverage-based
handovers from E-UTRAN to GERAN. For details, see Mobility Management in Connected
Mode.

There are four policies for CSFB to GERAN: PS handover, cell change order (CCO) with
network assisted cell change (NACC), CCO without NACC, and redirection, in descending
order of selection priority. Figure 5-4 shows how the policy is selected. This section assumes
that neighboring frequencies and cells have been configured appropriately.

eRAN
Figure 5-4 EUTRAN-to-GERAN CSFB policy selection procedure
Figure 5-4 involves the following parameters:

l The CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectTimer parameter specifies the CSFB protection timer. If
the UE fallback has not been completed by the time this timer expires, the eNodeB takes
protection measures, as described in 5.1.5 Execution.
l The InterRatHoComm.GeranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameter must be specified if
flash CSFB is enabled.

eRAN
l The options of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter control the CSFB

policies:
– PS handover is controlled by the GeranPsHoSwitch option.
– CCO without NACC is controlled by the GeranCcoSwitch option.
– CCO with NACC is controlled by the GeranNaccSwitch and GeranCcoSwitch
options. CCO with NACC requires the RIM procedure, through which the eNodeB
obtains system information of external cells. For details about the principles for
RIM, see RIM.
l The CSFB policy is determined by different parameters, depending on whether the
function described in 11 CSFB Steering to GERAN is enabled.
– If the function is enabled, the parameter for specifying the CSFB policy depends on
the UE status:
n The CSFB policy for RRC_IDLE UEs is specified by the
n The CSFB policy for RRC_CONNECTED UEs is specified by the
– If the function is disabled, the CSFB policy is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter, regardless of whether UEs are
in idle or connected mode.
If none of the REDIRECTION, CCO_HO, and PS_HO options of these CSFB-policy-
related parameters is selected and measurement-based handling is used, the eNodeB does
not apply any CSFB policy to a UE until the CSFB protection timer expires. Then the
eNodeB performs a blind redirection. If blind handling is used, the eNodeB directly
performs a blind redirection for CSFB.
If admission to the target cell fails during CSFB to GERAN, the eNodeB starts a penalty and
retry procedure for the target cell. The penalty and retry procedure for CSFB to GERAN is the
same as that for CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see Retry and Penalty.
If blind redirection is selected, the IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter can be selected to enable optimization of
redirection-based CSFB for RRC_IDLE UEs. The optimization accelerates CSFB by reducing
the end-to-end delay. It also reduces the probability that CSFB will fail because of an initial
context setup failure. For details about the signaling procedure used for optimization of
redirection-based CSFB for RRC_IDLE UEs, see 19.1.6 Redirection-based CSFB
Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode.
NOTE
This function is alternatively controlled by the IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the eNodeB-level

parameter GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch.
If the option of the eNodeB-level parameter is selected, the option setting of the cell-level parameter
does not take effect; otherwise, the option setting of the cell-level parameter takes effect.
It is recommended that the cell-level parameter be used because the eNodeB-level parameter will no
longer be used in later versions.

Target cell/frequency selection in CSFB to GERAN involves three steps. The first two steps
are the same as in CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see 4.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
The third step, in which the eNodeB selects the target cell or frequency, is as follows:

eRAN
l Measurement-based handling
The eNodeB selects frequencies from the frequency group that has the highest frequency
priority for RRC_CONNECTED UEs. The priority is specified by the
GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. If the number of frequencies in the
frequency group with the highest priority exceeds the number specified by
CellUeMeasControlCfg.MaxGeranMeasFreqNum, the eNodeB does not deliver any
frequency in this group and proceeds with evaluation on other frequency groups in
descending order of frequency priority for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.
l Blind handling
– If blind handover is used, neighboring GERAN cells must be configured on the
eNodeB and be assigned blind-handover priorities (specified by
GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority) before the eNodeB can select a cell as the target cell
for the blind handover. The eNodeB selects the neighboring cell with the highest
blind-handover priority for handover. If the preparation for the handover to the 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 the preparation for the handover to the last cell still fails, the eNodeB
performs an emergency blind redirection. Neighboring GERAN cells are configured
in GeranNCell MOs. If there is more than one highest-priority neighboring cell, the
eNodeB randomly selects one.
– If blind redirection is used, neighboring GERAN frequencies and their priorities for
RRC_CONNECTED UEs must be configured before the eNodeB can select a target
frequency for blind redirection. Neighboring GERAN cell configurations are not
required. Figure 5-5 shows the selection procedure.

eRAN
Figure 5-5 Target frequency selection for blind redirection
n Neighboring GERAN frequencies are configured in GeranNfreqGroup MOs.

n The priorities of neighboring GERAN frequencies for RRC_CONNECTED
UEs are specified by the GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter.
n Neighboring GERAN cells are configured in GeranNCell MOs.
n The eNodeB selects a frequency group from the candidates based on blind-
handover priorities of neighboring cells as follows:
○ If neighboring cells are assigned non-zero blind-handover priorities,
which are specified by GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority, the eNodeB selects
the frequency group that contains the operating frequency of the cell with
the highest blind-handover priority.
○ If all blind-handover priorities are 0, the eNodeB considers frequency
priorities for RRC_CONNECTED UEs. It selects the frequency group
with the highest frequency priority for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.
n If there is more than one frequency with the highest priority for
RRC_CONNECTED UEs or with the highest blind-handover priority during
final frequency selection, the eNodeB selects one at random.
n If the PLMN of a neighboring GERAN frequency during final frequency
selection is different from the PLMN that the UE belongs to and it is not

eRAN
included in the inter-PLMN list or equivalent PLMN list, the eNodeB starts
evaluating frequencies of the second-priority RAT for the blind redirection.
5.1.4 Decision
The evaluation of CSFB to GERAN is the same as that of CSFB to UTRAN, except that
CSFB to GERAN does not support comprehensive handling based on multiple MRs. For
details, see 4.1.4 Decision.
5.1.5 Execution
This section describes CSFB protection, process optimization, penalty, and retries during the
execution.
CSFB Protection
The CSFB protection timer is specified by the CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectTimer parameter.
If the PS handover, CCO with NACC, or CCO without NACC policy is used, and the UE has
not accessed the target cell and still stays in the area covered by the eNodeB when the timer
expires, the eNodeB performs an emergency blind redirection based on the following rules:
l The eNodeB preferentially selects a system that the UE has not measured. For example,
if the UE has measured the GERAN, the eNodeB preferentially selects the UTRAN for a
blind redirection. If only the GERAN is available, the eNodeB still selects the GERAN
for a blind redirection.
l If there is no target frequency available for blind redirection, the eNodeB stops the
procedure.
5.2.1 Benefits
The benefits are the same as those of CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see 4.2.1 Benefits.
5.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
CSFB affects the access success rate as follows:
l If redirection, CCO with NACC, or CCO without NACC is used as the CSFB policy,
each CSFB procedure is an access procedure for the initiation of a new CS service in the
GERAN. Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is theoretically the same as
that for normal CS UEs in the GERAN.
l If PS handover is used as the CSFB policy, the access success rate for CSFB UEs
depends on the success rate of handovers to the target RAT. Handover-based CS service
access has a higher requirement for signal quality than normal CS service access.
Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is a little lower than that for normal CS
UEs in the GERAN.

4. GeranExternalCellPlmn: used to configure additional PLMN IDs for each shared
external GERAN cell. This MO is required only if the BTS that serves the external
GERAN cell works in RAN sharing with common carriers mode and multiple operators
share the external GERAN cell.

handovers to a neighboring GERAN cell are allowed according to the network plan, a
blind-handover priority must be specified for the cell by setting the
GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority parameter.

Signaling
1. Enable a UE to camp on an E-UTRAN cell, and use the UE to originate a voice call so
that the UE falls back to a GERAN cell and completes the call.
2. Enable a UE to camp on an E-UTRAN cell, and use the UE to receive a voice call so that
the UE falls back to a GERAN cell and completes the call.
Figure 5-6 shows the signaling procedure for redirection-based CSFB to GERAN.
NOTE
In the following figures, the UE on the left side and the UE on the right side are the same UE. The
signaling on the GERAN side is for reference only. The procedure for mobile-terminated calls is similar
to the procedure for mobile-originated calls. The difference is that the procedure for mobile-terminated
calls includes paging.

eRAN
Figure 5-6 Redirection-based CSFB to GERAN for a mobile-originated call
The signaling procedure for PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN differs from that for
redirection-based CSFB to GERAN in that 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 PS handover procedure, see 4.4.2 Activation Verification.
In such a procedure for CSFB to GERAN, the cs-FallbackIndicator IE is TRUE and the target
RAT is GERAN in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message.
Figure 5-7 shows the signaling procedure for CCO-based CFSB (with or without NACC) to
GERAN for a mobile-originated call. In the CSFB, handover preparation is absent. The
MobilityFromEUTRACommand message carries the CCO with/without NACC information
and the CSFB target is GERAN.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 6 Flash CSFB to UTRAN
6 Flash CSFB to UTRAN
6.1 Principles
The UtranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter
specifies whether to enable flash CSFB to UTRAN.
Flash CSFB to UTRAN is based on CSFB to UTRAN. In flash CSFB to UTRAN, the
eNodeB uses the RIM procedure to obtain system information of UTRAN cells and uses a
message for redirection to UTRAN to send the obtained system information to the UE. When
the UE accesses one of the UTRAN cells, it does not need to read the system information of
the UTRAN cell. This shortens access delay. Figure 6-1 shows the enhancements in flash
CSFB to UTRAN in comparison with CSFB to UTRAN.

eRAN
Figure 6-1 Enhancements in flash CSFB to UTRAN in comparison with CSFB to UTRAN
As shown in Figure 6-1:

l Before CSFB policy selection, the eNodeB requests system information of UTRAN cells
through a RIM procedure. For details about the principles for RIM, see RIM.
l Flash CSFB to UTRAN can be used only if redirection is selected as the CSFB policy.
This is because the eNodeB needs to use a message for redirection to UTRAN to send
the obtained system information of UTRAN cells to the UE. If another CSFB policy is
selected, CSFB to UTRAN is performed. For details on the procedure for selecting a
CSFB policy and related parameter settings, see 4.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection.
l During target cell/frequency selection in the case of blind redirection, the eNodeB selects
cells whose system information has been obtained. For details, see 6.1.1 Target Cell/
Frequency Selection. In the decision phase of measurement-based redirection, the
eNodeB selects cells whose system information has been obtained. For details, see 6.1.2
Decision. As the UE has obtained system information of UTRAN cells from the RRC
Connection Release message, the UE does not need to read the system information of
UTRAN cells. This shortens the redirection delay.
For FDD, if operators' network capabilities for the RIM procedure are different in RAN
sharing scenarios, you can enable the Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN
function (see Mobility Management in Connected Mode) to specify whether a particular
operator supports the RIM procedure and whether flash CSFB to UTRAN is enabled for the
operator.
If flash CSFB cannot be performed for some UEs due to UE compatibility issues and there are
service drops as a result, Terminal Awareness Differentiation can be enabled to add these UEs
to the blacklist of flash CSFB. In this case, CSFB instead of flash CSFB is performed for

eRAN
these UEs, decreasing the service drop rate. For details, see descriptions related to blacklist
control in Terminal Awareness Differentiation.

In a blind redirection, in addition to the operations described in 4.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency
Selection, the eNodeB performs the following operations to select cells whose system
information has been obtained:
1. The eNodeB generates a target cell list (containing a maximum of eight cells) based on
the blind-handover priorities of neighboring cells on the target frequency for redirection.
The eNodeB then adds other neighboring cells on the target frequency to the list. The
UTRAN_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter
controls the sequence of adding these neighboring cells.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB adds these neighboring cells in descending order of
the priority specified by the UtranNCell.NCellMeasPriority parameter.
If this option is deselected, the eNodeB adds these neighboring cells at random.
2. If the InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxUtranCellNum and
InterRatHoComm.UtranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameters (the latter is used only
for emergency redirection) are set to N:
– If the number of target cells is greater than or equal to N, the eNodeB selects the
first N cells.
– If the number of target cells is smaller than N, the eNodeB selects all these cells.
3. The eNodeB filters out the target cells whose system information has not been obtained.
4. The eNodeB filters cells based on SPID-based mobility management in connected mode.
For details, see the descriptions of SPID-based camping and handover in Flexible User
Steering.
6.1.2 Decision
In a measurement-based redirection, in addition to the operations described in 4.1.4 Decision,
the eNodeB performs the following operations to select cells whose system information has
been obtained:
1. The eNodeB adds the neighboring cells on the target frequency for redirection but not in
measurement reports, in a random sequence, to the target cell list generated based on
measurement reports.
2. If the InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxUtranCellNum and
InterRatHoComm.UtranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameters (the latter is used only
first N cells.
3. The eNodeB filters out cells whose system information has not been obtained.

eRAN
6.2.1 Benefits
Flash CSFB to UTRAN enables UEs to obtain information about target UTRAN cells for
redirection before RRC connections to the LTE network are released, reducing the delay of
CSFB to UTRAN by approximately 0.2s to 0.5s. This gain varies depending on the radio
network environment and the processing capability of UEs.
6.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
Flash CSFB affects the access success rate as follows:
l Each flash CSFB procedure is an access procedure for the initiation of a new CS service
in the UTRAN. 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 is updated frequently.
The RNC cannot update the uplink interference information in the system information
sent to the LTE network as frequently as the information is updated in SIB7 in the
UTRAN. Therefore, the uplink interference information obtained by the LTE network
from SIB7 is a default value (–105 dBm). If the actual uplink interference in the
UTRAN is greater than –105 dBm, the UEs' transmit power for the physical random
access channel (PRACH) increases and the RRC connection setup success rate may
decrease.

7.1 Principles
The GeranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter
specifies whether to enable flash CSFB to GERAN.
Flash CSFB to GERAN is based on CSFB to GERAN. In flash CSFB to GERAN, the
eNodeB uses the RIM procedure to obtain system information of GERAN cells and uses a
message for redirection to GERAN to send the obtained system information to the UE. When
the UE accesses one of the GERAN cells, it does not need to read the system information of
the GERAN cell. This shortens access delay. Figure 7-1 shows the enhancements in flash
CSFB to GERAN in comparison with CSFB to GERAN.

eRAN
Figure 7-1 Enhancements in flash CSFB to GERAN in comparison with CSFB to GERAN
As shown in Figure 7-1:

l Before CSFB policy selection, the eNodeB requests system information of GERAN cells
through a RIM procedure. For details about the principles for RIM, see RIM.
l Flash CSFB to GERAN can be used only if redirection is selected as the CSFB policy.
This is because the eNodeB needs to use a message for redirection to GERAN to send
the obtained system information of GERAN cells to the UE. If another CSFB policy is
selected, CSFB to GERAN is performed. For details on the procedure for selecting a
CSFB policy and related parameter settings, see 5.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection.
l During target cell/frequency selection in the case of blind redirection, the eNodeB selects
cells whose system information has been obtained. For details, see 7.1.1 Target Cell/
Frequency Selection. In the decision phase of measurement-based redirection, the
eNodeB selects cells whose system information has been obtained. For details, see 7.1.2
Decision. As the UE has obtained system information of GERAN cells from the RRC
Connection Release message, the UE does not need to read the system information of
GERAN cells. This shortens the redirection delay.
If operators' network capabilities for the RIM procedure are different in RAN sharing
scenarios, you can enable the Separate Mobility Policies to GERAN for Multi PLMN function
(see Mobility Management in Connected Mode) to specify whether a particular operator
supports the RIM procedure and whether flash CSFB to GERAN is enabled for the operator.

In a blind redirection, in addition to the operations described in 5.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency
Selection, the eNodeB performs the following operations to select cells whose system
information has been obtained:

eRAN
1. The eNodeB generates a target cell list (containing a maximum of eight cells) based on
the blind-handover priorities of neighboring cells on the target frequency for redirection.
The eNodeB then adds other neighboring cells on the target frequency to the list. The
GERAN_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter
controls the sequence of adding these neighboring cells.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB adds these neighboring cells in descending order of
the priority specified by the GeranNCell.NCellMeasPriority parameter.
If this option is deselected, the eNodeB adds these neighboring cells at random.
2. If the InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxGeranCellNum and
InterRatHoComm.GeranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameters (the latter is used only
first N cells.
4. The eNodeB filters cells based on SPID-based mobility management in connected mode.
For details, see the descriptions of SPID-based camping and handover in Flexible User
Steering.
7.1.2 Decision
In a measurement-based redirection, in addition to the operations described in 5.1.4 Decision,
the eNodeB performs the following operations to select cells whose system information has

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 8 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN
8 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN
8.1 Principles
The UtranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies whether to enable ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN. Use this function in areas
where UMTS and LTE coverage areas overlap if the following conditions are met: The
eNodeB, RNC, MME, and MSC are provided by Huawei, and a proportion of UEs support
single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) from E-UTRAN to UTRAN.
This function has the following enhancements to CSFB to UTRAN:
The function of disabling blind handling is added to blind/measurement-based handling

selection. For details, see 8.1.1 Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection.
The eNodeB can select SRVCC as the CSFB policy to hand over the UE to the UTRAN using
an 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. For
details, see 8.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection.

The blind/measurement-based handling selection for ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN is the same
as that for CSFB to UTRAN except that measurement-based handling can be used for ultra-
flash CSFB even if blind handling has been selected.
If blind handling is selected for a UE supporting ultra-flash CSFB, the eNodeB further checks
whether to use blind handling for the UE based on the UFCsfbBlindHoDisSwitch option
setting of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter.
l If this option is selected, the eNodeB disables blind handling and performs a
measurement-based CSFB procedure for the UE.
l If this option is deselected, the eNodeB performs a blind CSFB procedure for the UE.

Ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN uses the SRVCC procedure. Figure 8-1 shows the policy
selection.

eRAN
Figure 8-1 EUTRAN-to-UTRAN ultra-flash CSFB policy selection procedure
Ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN is controlled by the UtranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter. Other parameter settings for ultra-flash CSFB
to UTRAN are consistent with those for CSFB to UTRAN described in 4.1.2 CSFB Policy
Selection.
If a UE does not support ultra-flash CSFB, there will be UE compatibility issues. To address
the issues, select the UltraFlashCsfbComOptSw option of the
GlobalProcSwitch.UeCompatSwitch parameter.
For FDD, if operators' network capabilities for ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN are different in
RAN sharing scenarios, the Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN function

eRAN
can be enabled to specify whether to use ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN for a particular
operator. For details on how to activate the Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi
PLMN function, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
l The Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN function is controlled by the
UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch
parameter.
l The ultra-flash CSFB capability of operators for Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN
for Multi PLMN is controlled by the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc, and UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId parameters, and the
UltraFlashCsfbCapCfg option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg
parameter. If ultra-flash CSFB is not configured for a given operator or RNC, ultra-flash
CSFB is supported by default.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 9 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN
9 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN
9.1 Principles
The GeranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies whether to enable ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN. Use this function in areas
where GSM and LTE coverage areas overlap if the following conditions are met: The
eNodeB, BSC, MME, and MSC are provided by Huawei, and a proportion of UEs support
SRVCC from E-UTRAN to GERAN.
This function works when external GERAN cells support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN.
l If all external GERAN cells support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN, no configuration on
the eNodeB is required.
l If some external GERAN cells do not support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN, set the
GeranExternalCell.UltraFlashCsfbInd parameter to BOOLEAN_FALSE for these
external GERAN cells.
This function has the following enhancements to CSFB to GERAN:

l The function of disabling blind handling is added to blind/measurement-based handling
selection. For details, see 9.1.1 Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection.
l The eNodeB can select SRVCC as the CSFB policy to hand over the UE to the GERAN
using an 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. For details, see 9.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection. As for the signaling procedure of
this function, see 19.1.5 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN.
l The following enhancements have been added to the execution phase:
– The UE quickly returns to the LTE network after completing the voice service.
– The UE performs measurements in consecutive sections of sleep time in DRX to
accelerate the measurements and decrease the delay.
For details, see 9.1.3 Execution.

The blind/measurement-based handling selection for ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN includes a
function for disabling blind handling, which is not included in regular CSFB to GERAN. This

eRAN
function is the same as the corresponding function for ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN. For
details, see 8.1.1 Blind/Measurement-based Handling Selection.

Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN uses the SRVCC procedure. Figure 9-1 illustrates the policy
selection procedure.
Figure 9-1 EUTRAN-to-GERAN ultra-flash CSFB policy selection procedure
Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN is controlled by the GeranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter. Other parameter settings for ultra-flash CSFB
to GERAN are consistent with those for CSFB to GERAN described in 5.1.2 CSFB Policy
Selection.

eRAN
If a UE does not support ultra-flash CSFB, there will be UE compatibility issues. To address
the issues, select the UltraFlashCsfbComOptSw option of the
GlobalProcSwitch.UeCompatSwitch parameter.
If operators' network capabilities for ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN are different in RAN
sharing scenarios, the Separate Mobility Policies to GERAN for Multi PLMN function can be
enabled to specify whether to use ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN for a particular operator. For
details on how to activate this function, see Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
l The Separate Mobility Policies to GERAN for Multi PLMN function is controlled by the
GeranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch
parameter.
l The ultra-flash CSFB capability of operators for Separate Mobility Policies to GERAN
for Multi PLMN is controlled by the GeranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc,
GeranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc, and GeranNetworkCapCfg.Lac parameters, and the
UltraFlashCsfbCapCfg option of the GeranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg
parameter. If ultra-flash CSFB is not configured for a given operator or neighboring
GERAN cell, ultra-flash CSFB is supported by default.
9.1.3 Execution
Compared with CSFB to GERAN, this function has the following enhancements:
l Fast Return to LTE

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. For this
purpose, the Channel Release message must contain E-UTRA frequency information,
which the UE uses to select a suitable E-UTRAN cell to camp on.
When the IratMeasCfgTransSwitch option of the
GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB filters E-
UTRA frequencies supported by the UE 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.
l Measurement acceleration
If the CellDrxPara.DrxForMeasSwitch parameter is set to ON, the eNodeB delivers the
DRX and gap-assisted measurement configurations in a certain scenario. The UE
performs measurements preferentially in consecutive sections of sleep time in DRX to
accelerate the measurements and decrease the delay. In that specific scenario, all the
following conditions must be met:
– 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 GERAN frequency is TRUE in
the UE capability message.
– The UE supports DRX.
– The BlindHoSwitch option of at least one of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch and CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch
parameters is deselected.
For details about how to configure measurement-specific DRX parameters, see DRX and
Signaling Control.

9.2.1 Benefits
This function shortens the delay of CSFB to GERAN by approximately 0.5s to 1.5s,
improving user experience.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 10 CSFB Steering to UTRAN
10 CSFB Steering to UTRAN
10.1 Principles
The UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch parameter
specifies whether to enable this function.
This function is based on CSFB to UTRAN. It can improve network efficiency if an operator
has different requirements for target RATs, target frequencies, and CSFB policies for CS-only
services and CS+PS services. If the operator owns both UTRAN and GERAN networks and
preferential measurement of only UTRAN is required, CSFB steering to UTRAN and CSFB
steering to GERAN must be both activated.
There are two types of CSFB UEs based on their status:

l RRC_IDLE CSFB UEs
If the MME uses an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to send the CS
Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB, the eNodeB determines that the UE is in idle mode at
the time when the UE initiates the CS service. This UE is called an RRC_IDLE CSFB
UE.
l RRC_CONNECTED CSFB UEs
If the MME uses a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to send the
CS Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB, the eNodeB determines that the UE is performing
PS services at the time when the UE initiates the CS service. This UE is called an
RRC_CONNECTED CSFB UE.
This function allows for flexible parameter settings for the two types of CSFB UEs.
NOTE
For a UE initiating an emergency call, the eNodeB preferentially selects RATs that support LCS and
then selects a RAT from them based on the configured RAT priorities.
Target RAT Configuration

If a UE is an RRC_IDLE CSFB UE, the eNodeB selects a target RAT for the UE based on the
RAT priorities specified by the parameters in Table 10-1.

NOTE
l Parameters in the CSFallBackBlindHoCfg MO are eNodeB-level parameters. When you run the
ADD CNoperator command with CnOperatorId specified to add an operator, parameters in the
CSFallBackBlindHoCfg MO are automatically set to their default values. Cell-level operator-
specific parameters for inter-RAT handovers are set by running the ADD CELLOPHOCFG
command. When both the CSFallBackBlindHoCfg and CellOpHoCfg MOs are configured, the
CellOpHoCfg MO configuration prevails.
l If CSFB with LAI is enabled, the eNodeB preferentially selects the frequency of inter-RAT cells
with the same PLMN ID as that contained in the LAI. When the eNodeB determines the RAT
priority, it considers whether only one of or both of CSFB with LAI to GERAN and CSFB with LAT
to UTRAN are enabled. If, for example, only CSFB with LAI to GERAN is enabled, the eNodeB
preferentially selects a GERAN cell or frequency. If both of CSFB with LAI to GERAN and CSFB
with LAT to UTRAN are enabled, the eNodeB selects the target cell or frequency based on the RAT
priorities configured using the parameters in the preceding tables.
Target Frequency Configuration

The eNodeB can select a neighboring cell or frequency of a lower-priority RAT only if no
neighboring cell or frequency of a higher-priority RAT can be selected.
For RRC_IDLE CSFB UEs, if UTRAN is assigned the highest RAT priority, the eNodeB
selects target frequencies based on the setting of the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter.

eRAN
For RRC_CONNECTED CSFB UEs, if UTRAN is assigned the highest RAT priority, the
eNodeB selects target frequencies based on the setting of the
UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter.
CSFB Policy Configuration

The CSFB policy for RRC_IDLE CSFB UEs is specified by the
The CSFB policy for RRC_CONNECTED CSFB UEs is specified by the
10.2.1 Benefits
This function allows operators that own inter-RAT networks to specify the target RAT and
frequency for CSFB based on the network plan and network load balancing requirements to
improve network operating efficiency.
10.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
If a high- or medium-priority frequency is configured inappropriately, for example, if the
frequency has coverage holes, a UE may fail to measure this frequency and therefore the
CSFB delay increases.
This function may conflict with the service-based directed retry decision (DRD) algorithm
used for UTRAN, 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 further transfer the
UE to an R99 frequency.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 12 Coverage-based E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering
12 Coverage-based E-UTRAN to UTRAN

CS/PS Steering
12.1 Principles
This chapter describes the CS service steering function in coverage-based E-UTRAN to
UTRAN CS/PS steering. For details on the PS service steering function, see Mobility
Management in Connected Mode.
This function 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 ensure that UEs fall back to the UTRAN frequencies that have the highest CS service
priority.
CS Steering in CSFB
This function has the following enhancements to CSFB to UTRAN:
l Frequencies with the highest CS service priority are selected for inter-RAT measurement
on the UTRAN.
This selection is controlled by the UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch option of the cell-level
parameter CellAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwitch.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB selects frequencies with the highest CS service
priority, which is 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 for a frequency, the eNodeB does not select this frequency for measurement.
l Cells on the frequencies with the highest CS service priority are selected as the target
cells for blind handling.
This selection is controlled by the UtranFreqLayerBlindSwitch option of the cell-level
parameter CellAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwitch.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB selects a frequency with the highest
UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter value 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 for a frequency, this frequency is not involved in frequency prioritization.

eRAN
LAI-based CS Steering in CSFB

Target selection is enhanced when CSFB with LAI to UTRAN is enabled. The enhancements
are as follows:
l Enhancement in measurement
a. The eNodeB selects inter-RAT frequencies where there are neighboring cells whose
PLMN IDs are the same as the PLMN ID in the LAI.
b. The eNodeB selects the frequencies with the highest CS service priority, which is
specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter, from the previously selected
frequencies.
The difference is that the eNodeB additionally sorts neighboring cells in the following
order after receiving measurement reports from the 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
c. Neighboring cells with PLMN IDs the same as the serving PLMN ID of the UE
l Enhancement in blind handling
a. The eNodeB selects frequencies whose PLMN ID is the same as the PLMN ID in
the LAI.
b. The eNodeB selects the frequencies with the highest CS service priority, which is
specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter, from the previously selected
frequencies.
c. The eNodeB selects a neighboring cell whose LAC is the same as that in the LAI.
d. If such a neighboring cell is unavailable, the eNodeB selects a neighboring cell
whose LAC is different from that in the LAI.
12.2.1 Benefits
E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS 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 E-
UTRAN and the UTRAN help prevent further handovers for service steering after CSFB.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 13 CSFB with LAI to UTRAN
13 CSFB with LAI to UTRAN
13.1 Principles
This function is under license control but not under switch control.
This function 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.
l In a tracking area (TA) that overlaps multiple location areas (LAs)
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.
The eNodeB selects target 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.
Measurement
l Selecting frequencies
During measurement configuration, the eNodeB only selects inter-RAT frequencies
where there are neighboring cells whose PLMN IDs are the same as that in the LAI that
was received. The follow-up measurement procedure is similar to that in CSFB to
UTRAN.
l Selecting neighboring cells
The eNodeB selects neighboring cells in the following order after receiving
measurement reports from a UE:

eRAN
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
4.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
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
RRC_CONNECTED UEs. For details, see 4.1.3 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
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 to ensure the CSFB
success rate and reduce the delay.
When the option is selected, neighboring cells are selected in the following sequence:
a. Neighboring cells with PLMN IDs the same as those in the LAI
b. Neighboring cells with the highest blind-handover priority among a
c. Neighboring cells with LACs the same as those in the LAI among b
When the option is deselected, neighboring cells are selected in the following sequence:
a. Neighboring cells with PLMN IDs the same as those in the LAI
b. Neighboring cells with LACs the same as those in the LAI among a
c. Neighboring cells with the highest blind-handover priority among b
13.2.1 Benefits
CSFB with LAI ensures that a UE can fall back to the CS network that the UE has attached to.
This prevents CSFB failure or long delay caused by incorrect target RAT selection and
increases the CSFB success rate.

Manage
D-00201 message. According to the security requirements of
ment
8 3GPP CR (R2-1714284), this option takes effect only
LOFD-0 CS for redirections to UTRAN cells. This option applies
01033/ Fallback only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
TDLOF to
UTRAN UlNasBufferSwitch: If this option is selected, the
D-00103 eNodeB buffers uplink NAS messages sent by the UE
3 CS before the UE-associated logical S1 connection is
Fallback available and sends these messages after the UE-

eRAN

nd
LOFD-0 to associated logical S1 connection is available. If this

01034/ GERAN option is deselected, the eNodeB releases this UE after
TDLOF RAN the procedures end. This option applies only to LTE
D-00103 Sharing FDD and LTE TDD.
4 with IratMeasCfgTransSwitch: If this option is selected, the
LOFD-0 Commo Handover Required message that the eNodeB sends to
01036/ n a BSC contains the IE IRAT Measurement
TDLOF Carrier Configuration. This option applies only to LTE FDD
D-00103 and LTE TDD.
6
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. This option
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. This option involves procedures of an
eNodeB waiting for Uu interface response messages,
such as RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete,
SecurityModeComplete, RRCConnectionReestablish-
mentComplete, UECapabilityInformation, and
CounterCheckResponse messages, from UEs. This
option applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
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 SRVCC
based on the SRVCCOperationPossible IE that the
MME sends to the eNodeB. This option applies only
L2GPLMNChooseOptSwitch: This option specifies
whether to enable target PLMN ID optimization for
handovers to GERAN. If this option is selected, the
eNodeB takes the NCL-defined PLMN IDs and

eRAN

nd
includes them in the handover request messages or

RIM request messages. If this option is deselected, the
optimization is not activated. This option applies only
HoInRrcRecfgMcCombSwitch: If this option is

selected, after a UE is handed over to a cell, the cell
delivers the radio resource configuration and
measurement configuration in a single RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message to the UE
during the resource reconfiguration procedure. This
UeCapEnquiryCombSwitch: If this option is selected

and a UE sends an Attach Request message to an
eNodeB during initial access, the eNodeB directly
queries capabilities of the UE after the RRC
connection for the UE is established. This option does
not apply to subsequent UE capability query induced
by the CA extended frequency band combination
query. If this option is deselected and a UE sends an
Attach Request message to an eNodeB during initial
access, the eNodeB does not query capabilities of the
UE until the MME sends a UE context setup request
to the eNodeB. This option applies only to LTE FDD
and LTE TDD.
UeTraceOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the

eNodeB does not handle the DEACTIVATE TRACE
message sent by the MME or stop the UE tracing task
in the eNodeB until the UE is released or handed over
to a cell served by another eNodeB. This option
PaDistributeMechOptSwitch: If this option is selected,

the PaPcOff parameter value is taken as the PA value
in the RRCConnectionSetup or RRC Connection
Reestablishment message. If this option is deselected,
the PA value is set to -3 dB by default. This option
InactReSyncCompatSwitch: If this option is selected

and the eNodeB determines that the UE inactivity
timer expires and the resynchronization procedure is
being performed, the eNodeB preferentially processes
the resynchronization procedure and the timer restarts.
If this option is deselected, the optimization does not
take effect. That is, the UE is directly released when
the UE inactivity timer expires. This option applies

eRAN

nd
VolteX2HoDelayOptSwitch: If this option is selected,

when receiving a VoLTE UE handover complete
message, the target eNodeB for an X2-based handover
starts to send uplink data with QCI of 1. If this option
is deselected, the target eNodeB for an X2-based
handover starts to send uplink data with QCI of 1 after
receiving an MME PATH SWITCH REQUEST
ACKNOWLEDGE message. This option applies only
UeUtranCapEnquiryOptSwitch: When a serving cell
is not configured with neighboring UTRAN cells, the
eNodeB does not query UE's UTRAN capability if
this option is selected. If this option is deselected, this
optimization does not take effect. This option applies
only to LTE TDD.
FreqRandomOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the
eNodeB randomly selects a target frequency when
there are multiple candidate frequencies with the same
priority. If this option is deselected, this optimization
function does not take effect. This option applies only
MrMdtMeasOptSwitch: If this option is selected,
measurement configurations related to MR and MDT
are delivered separately. If this option is deselected,
this optimization does not take effect. This option
CellReselectionOptSwitch: If this option is selected,
when the cell reselection configuration needs to be
contained in an RRC release message, the eNodeB
performs as follows:
- If inter-RAT cell reselection is not configured in the
eNodeB, the eNodeB does not determine inter-RAT
operator-dedicated cell reselection frequency
priorities.
-If inter-RAT cell reselection is configured in the
eNodeB, the eNodeB determines inter-RAT operator-
dedicated cell reselection frequency priorities.
If this option is deselected, the eNodeB always
determines inter-RAT operator-dedicated cell
reselection frequency priorities regardless of whether
inter-RAT cell reselection is configured in the
eNodeB. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.
X2GuGroupIdInfoOptSwitch: If this option is
selected, the eNodeB does not include any GU Group

eRAN

nd
Id dedicated to NB-IoT in the IE GU Group Id List in

X2 setup request, X2 setup response, and eNodeB
configuration update messages when the eNodeB has
multiple GU Group Ids. (For details about the IE, see
3GPP TS 36.423.) If all GU Group Ids are dedicated
to NB-IoT, the eNodeB can include the GU Group Ids
dedicated to NB-IoT. If this option is deselected, the
eNodeB can include the GU group Ids dedicated to
NB-IoT in the IE Group Id List in X2 setup request,
X2 setup response, and eNodeB configuration update
messages. This option applies only to LTE FDD and
LTE TDD.

19.1 CSFB to UTRAN
19.1.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure

The combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is performed by exchanging non-access stratum
(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 19-1.
Figure 19-1 Combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure

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.

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.
19.1.2 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.
CSFB Procedure for Mobile-Originated Calls

Figure 19-2 shows the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-
originated calls.

eRAN
Figure 19-2 CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-originated calls
1. The UE sends the MME an NAS message Extended Service Request to initiate a CS
service.
2. The MME sends an S1-AP message to instruct the eNodeB to initiate a CSFB procedure.
If the MME supports the LAI-related function, 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 a PS handover preparation. 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 4.1.3 Target Cell/
Frequency Selection and 4.1.2 CSFB Policy Selection.
5. After the handover, the UE initiates a CS call establishment procedure. The procedure
may be accompanied 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, which are performed together with step 5.
CSFB Procedure for Mobile-Terminated Calls

Figure 19-3 shows the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-
terminated calls.

eRAN
Figure 19-3 CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-terminated calls
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. This situation is used as an example in the
preceding figure.
– 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 in the UTRAN cell.
19.1.3 CSFB Based on Redirection

During CSFB based on 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.

Figure 19-4 shows the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on redirection for mobile-
originated calls.

eNodeB.
3. The eNodeB determines whether to perform a blind redirection based on the UE
4. The eNodeB sends an RRC Connection Release message to instruct the UE to perform a
redirection. The message contains information about a target UTRAN frequency. Then,
the eNodeB initiates an S1-based UE context release procedure.
NOTE
5. The UE may initiate an LAU, a combined RAU/LAU, or both an RAU and an LAU in
the target cell.
6. The UE initiates a CS call establishment procedure in the target UTRAN cell.

In a mobile-terminated call, the MSC sends a Paging Request message from the CS domain to
the MME over the SGs interface, and then the MME or eNodeB initiates a paging procedure
for the UE. The paging procedure is similar to that for CSFB to UTRAN based on PS
handover for mobile-terminated calls described in 19.1.2 CSFB Based on PS Handover. The
subsequent steps are the same as the steps in the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on
redirection for mobile-originated calls.

eRAN
19.1.4 Flash CSFB

After the eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator, it sends an RRC Connection Release
message to release the UE. The message contains information about a target UTRAN
frequency, physical cell identities of target cells working on this frequency, and system
information of the target cells. In this way, the UE can quickly access the target UTRAN
without the need to perform the procedure for acquiring system information of UTRAN cells.
Then, the UE can directly initiate a CS service in a target UTRAN cell.

originated calls.

19.1.5 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN

Figure 19-6 shows the procedure of ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN for mobile-originated calls.
For details about the standard procedure, see chapter 6 "Mobile Originating Call" in 3GPP TS
23.272 V10.9.0 and 3GPP TS 24.008 V11.0.0.

eRAN

Figure 19-7 shows the procedure of ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN for mobile-terminated calls.
The paging procedure is excluded from the figure. For details about the paging procedure, see
step 1 in Figure 19-3. For details about the standard procedure, see chapter 7 "Mobile
Terminating Call" in 3GPP TS 23.272 V10.9.0 and 3GPP TS 24.008 V11.0.0.

eRAN
Figure 19-7 Ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN for mobile-terminated calls
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. The MME and MSC use
special handling to ensure a normal SRVCC procedure.
Step 5: The RNC receives a CSFB request and prepares CS and PS resources.
Step 6: The eNodeB receives the handover command transferred over the core network and
sends it to the UE.
Step 7: The UE is handed over to the UTRAN.
Steps 8 to 13: 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 CSFB. Therefore, the ciphering
procedure is not required after the UE is handed over to the UTRAN.

eRAN
l IMEI check procedure

The MME has sent the IMEI to the MSC during the preparation for CSFB. The
procedure is not required in the UTRAN after SRVCC.
l CS resource setup procedure
The UTRAN system has prepared CS resources during SRVCC and therefore the UE
does not need to reestablish the CS resource after SRVCC. The procedure is not required
in the UTRAN after SRVCC.
19.1.6 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, Uu security mode
command, or RRC connection reconfiguration procedure with dashed lines in the following
figure. If the eNodeB does not obtain the UE capability query before CSFB execution, the
eNodeB still needs to initiate a UE capability query procedure.
Figure 19-8 Redirection-based CSFB optimization for UEs in idle mode
19.1.7 Signaling Procedures for SMS

SMS services are unknown to the eNodeB because SMS messages are encapsulated in NAS
messages. During interworking with the UTRAN, SMS messages are exchanged between the

eRAN
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.
19.1.8 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.
19.1.9 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.
19.2 CSFB to GERAN
19.2.1 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 19.1.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure.

eRAN
19.2.2 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.

originated calls.

2. The MME instructs the eNodeB to initiate a CSFB procedure. If the MME supports the
LAI-related function, the MME also delivers the LAI to the eNodeB.
4. The eNodeB initiates a PS handover preparation. If the preparation is successful, the
eNodeB instructs the UE to perform a handover. If the GERAN or UE does not support
DTM, the ongoing PS services of the UE are suspended. Meanwhile, the SGSN updates
the bearers toward the S-GW/P-GW.

5. After the handover, the UE initiates a CS call establishment procedure. The procedure
may be accompanied with an LAU or combined RAU/LAU procedure in the GERAN.
6. The follow-up procedures are performed for the PS handover. These procedures include
data forwarding, path switching, and RAU, which are performed together with step 5.

subsequent steps are the same as the steps in the procedure for CSFB to GERAN based on PS
handover for mobile-originated calls.
19.2.3 CSFB Based on CCO/NACC

During CSFB based on CCO/NACC, the eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator from the
MME, and then it sends a Mobility From EUTRA Command message to the UE over the Uu
interface. The message contains information about the operating frequency, ID, and system
information of a target GERAN cell. It then initiates a CS service in the GERAN. The UE
searches for a target cell based on the information it received, and then it performs initial
access to the cell to initiate a CS service. If the GERAN or UE does not support DTM, the
ongoing PS services of the UE are suspended before a CS service is set up.

originated calls.

19.2.4 CSFB Based on Redirection

During CSFB based on 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 GERAN frequency, reducing the time for the UE to search for a
target network. After selecting the GERAN, the UE acquires the system information of a
GERAN cell. Then, the UE performs initial access to the cell to initiate a CS service. For the
GERAN, the UE is an initially accessing user.

19.2.5 Flash CSFB

After the eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator, it sends an RRC Connection Release
message to release the UE. The message contains information about a target GERAN
frequency, physical cell identities of target cells working on this frequency, and system
information of the target cells. In this way, the UE can quickly access the target GERAN
without the need to perform the procedure for acquiring system information of GERAN cells.
Then, the UE can directly initiate a CS service in a target GERAN cell. If the GERAN or UE
does not support DTM, the ongoing PS services of the UE are suspended before a CS service
is set up.
The UEs involved must comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later and the networks involved must
comply with 3GPP Release 8 or later.

subsequent steps are the same as the steps in the procedure for flash CSFB to GERAN based
on redirection for mobile-originated calls.
19.2.6 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN

Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN is a Huawei-proprietary procedure. To enable this function, the
MSC, MME, and eNodeB must be all provided by Huawei and support this function.
Resources are prepared in advance on the GERAN during the SRVCC, and authentication and
ciphering procedures are excluded to reduce delays. The following figures show the procedure
of ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN for mobile-originated calls and that for mobile-terminated
calls. The paging procedure is excluded from the figure for mobile-terminated calls. For
details about the paging procedure, see step 1 in Figure 19-3.

eRAN
Figure 19-13 Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN for mobile-originated calls

eRAN
Figure 19-14 Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN for mobile-terminated calls
Steps 1 to 3a: The UE initiates voice services (mobile-originated calls and mobile-terminated
calls) on the E-UTRAN. The eNodeB triggers SRVCC to GERAN. The MME and MSC use
special handling to ensure a normal SRVCC procedure.
Step 3b: The BSC 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 GERAN.
Steps 6 to 9: The UE establishes voice services on the GERAN. Signaling is carried on the
traffic channel (TCH), which accelerates the transfer and reduces delays.
As shown in the preceding figures, ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN excludes the following
procedures:
l Authentication procedure
The UE has been authenticated in the LTE system before CSFB to GERAN.
l Ciphering procedure
The UE has performed ciphering as instructed during SRVCC. Therefore, the ciphering
procedure is not required after the UE is handed over to the GERAN.

eRAN
l IMEI check procedure

The MME has sent the IMEI to the MSC during the preparation for SRVCC. There, the
procedure is not required in the GERAN after SRVCC.
l CS resource setup procedure
The GSM network has prepared CS resources during the SRVCC procedure and
therefore does not need to trigger the CS resource setup procedure for the UE after
CSFB.
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. For this purpose, the
Channel Release message must contain E-UTRA frequency information, which the UE uses
to select a suitable E-UTRAN cell to camp on.
When the IratMeasCfgTransSwitch option is selected, the eNodeB filters LTE frequencies
supported by the UE based on the UE capability to obtain a frequency set. During the
SRVCC, the eNodeB sends a Handover Required message containing the frequency set to the
BSC of the target cell. The BSC uses the frequency set as a reference for LTE frequency
selection for fast return to E-UTRAN after the UE completes voice services on the GERAN.
19.2.7 Signaling Procedures for SMS

SMS services are unknown to the eNodeB because SMS messages are encapsulated in NAS
messages. During interworking with the GERAN, mobile-originated and mobile-terminated
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.
19.2.8 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.
19.2.9 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
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 indication to the MME over the SGs interface. Then, the MME

eRAN
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
