Huawei Confidential Page 3 CSFB: brief introduction Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB, 3GPP TS23.272) The CS fallback in EPS enables the provisioning of voice and other CS-domain services (e.g. SMS/ LCS) by reuse of CS infrastructure when the UE is served by E-UTRAN. This function is only available in case E-UTRAN coverage is overlapped by either GERAN coverage or UTRAN coverage. HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

No CS Fallback is performed for SMS HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 15 CSFB: Emergency call UE eNB MME MSC RNC Extended Service Request with Emergency Call Indication S1-AP message with Emergency Call Indication eNB indicates in the Source RNC to Target RNC Transparent container that PS handover was triggered due to CSFB and emergency purpose E-UTRAN may use the emergency indication for selecting a particular radio access network (2G or 3G) for CS emergency handling. If PS handover is initiated, E-UTRAN may indicate priority level of the CSFB to the target RAT, in order to prepare radio resource at target RAT in appropriate way, e.g. priority allocation of the RAB resource. HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 16 Chapter Two: CSFB Algorithm at eNB Triggering phase 开始 The eNodeB receives a CS Fallback Indicator from the 收到CS Fallback Indicator MME. If the eNodeB supports blind handovers to an interRAT system, it performs a blind handover without CSFB触发: 是否盲切换 是 delivering the measurement configuration to the UE. Otherwise, the eNodeB delivers the measurement 否 CSFB测量 测量超时或异常 CSFB决策 configuration to the UE. Compared with measurementbased handovers, blind handovers can reduce the access delay. Therefore, blind handovers take precedence over measurement-based handovers. Blind handovers, CSFB执行 however, have an impact on the handover success rate. 结束 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential eRAN2.0/2.1 R8 CSFB Blind Scenario: A list of candidate cells is generated on the basis of the blind handover priorities, which are determined by both the RAT-specific priorities and the cell-specific priorities. The RAT-specific priorities used in blind handovers for CSFB are defined through the InterRatHighestPri, InterRatSecondPri, and InterRatLowestPri parameters. Measure Scenario: eNB sends the UE the measurement configuration, according to which the UE performs measurements on the specified system. The measurement configuration sent to the UE contains the configuration information for only the RATs and frequencies that are supported by the UE. eNB selects the best cell from UE’s measurement report. B1 entering condition: Mn Ofn Hys Thresh Mn is the measurement result of the neighboring cell. Ofn is the frequency-specific offset for the frequency of the neighboring cell. Hys is the hysteresis for event B1. Thresh is the threshold for event B1. The values of Thresh are set on the basis of the measurement quantities of each RAT. The Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) threshold for CSFB to UTRAN, Ec/No threshold for CSFB to UTRAN, threshold for CSFB to GERAN, and threshold for CSFB to CDMA2000 1xRTT are specified through the CsfbHoUtranB1ThdRSCP, CsfbHoUtranB1ThdECN0, CsfbHoGeranB1Thd, and CsfbHoCDMAB1ThdPS parameters respectively.

Huawei Confidential CSFB key parameters MO Parameter ID CSFallBackBlindHoCfg InterRatHighestPri CSFallBackBlindHoCfg UtranLcsCap Description Indicates the high-priority system to be considered in blind handovers for CS fallback. It is UTRAN by default. Indicates the medium-priority system to be considered in blind handovers for CS fallback. It is GERAN by default. If this parameter is set to null, the system with the medium blind handover priority is not specified. In this case, only the blind handovers to the high-priority system are applicable. Indicates the low-priority system to be considered in blind handovers for CS fallback. It is CDMA2000 by default. If this parameter is set to null, the system with the low blind handover priority is not specified. In this case, only the blind handovers to the high- and medium-priority systems are applicable. Indicates the Location Services (LCS) capability of the UTRAN. CSFallBackBlindHoCfg GeranLcsCap Indicates the Location Services (LCS) capability of the GERAN. CSFallBackBlindHoCfg CdmaLcsCap Indicates the Location Services (LCS) capability of the CDMA2000. CSFallBackHo CsfbHoUtranTimeToTrig CSFallBackHo CsfbHoGeranTimeToTrig Indicates the time-to-trigger for event B1 that is used in CS fallback to UTRAN/GERAN/CDMA2000. When CS fallback to UTRAN/GERAN/CDMA2000 is applicable, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation of whether to trigger event B1. When detecting that the signal quality in at least one UTRAN/GERAN/CDMA2000 cell meets the entering condition, the UE does not send a measurement report to the eNodeB immediately. Instead, the UE sends a report only when the signal quality continuously meets the entering condition during the time-to-trigger. This parameter helps decrease the number of occasionally triggered event reports, the average number of handovers, and the number of wrong handovers, and thus helps prevent unnecessary handovers. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331. CSFallBackHo CsfbHoCDMATimeToTrig CSFallBackBlindHoCfg InterRatSecondPri CSFallBackBlindHoCfg InterRatLowestPri HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential MO CSFallBackHo Parameter ID Description CsfbHoUtranB1ThdRSCP Indicates the RSCP threshold for event B1, which is used in CS fallback to UTRAN. When CS fallback to UTRAN is applicable, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation about whether to trigger event B1. This parameter indicates the RSCP requirement for the UTRAN cells to be included in the measurement report. A UE sends a measurement report related to event B1 to the eNodeB when the RSCP in at least one UTRAN cell exceeds this threshold and other triggering conditions are met. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331. CSFallBackHo CsfbHoUtranB1ThdECN0 Indicates the Ec/No threshold for event B1, which is used in CS fallback to UTRAN. When CS fallback to UTRAN is applicable, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation about whether to trigger event B1. This parameter indicates the Ec/No requirement for the UTRAN cells to be included in the measurement report. A UE sends a measurement report related to event B1 to the eNodeB when the Ec/No in at least one UTRAN cell exceeds this threshold and other triggering conditions are met. For a cell with large signal fading variance, set this parameter to a large value to prevent unnecessary handovers. For a cell with small signal fading variance, set this parameter to a small value to ensure that the handover is performed in time. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331. CSFallBackHo CsfbHoGeranB1Thd Indicates the RSSI threshold for event B1 that is used in CS fallback to GERAN. A UE sends a measurement report related to event B1 to the eNodeB when the RSSI in at least one GERAN cell exceeds this threshold and other triggering conditions are met. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331. CSFallBackHo CsfbHoCDMAB1ThdPS Indicates the pilot strength threshold related to event B1, which is used in CS fallback to CDMA2000. A UE sends a measurement report related to event B1 to the eNodeB when the pilot strength in at least one CDMA2000 cell exceeds this threshold and other triggering conditions are met.
