UTRAN or GERAN can protect their investments in legacy CS networks and reduce their
investments in the EPS by using the legacy UTRAN or GERAN to provide CS services.
Currently, CSFB and voice over IP (VoIP) over IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) are the two
standard solutions to provide voice services for UEs on LTE networks. After the technological
maturity, industry chain, and deployment costs of the two methods are well weighed, CSFB is
chosen to serve as an interim solution for voice service access before mature commercial use
of IMS.

eRAN TDD
2.1 Introduction
With the CSFB solution, when a UE initiates a CS service, the mobility management entity
(MME) instructs the UE to fall back to a legacy CS network before the UE performs the
service. CSFB is a session setup procedure. The UE falls back to the CS network before the
CS session is set up, and it stays in the CS network during the CS session. For details, see
3GPP TS 23.272 V8.5.0.
After receiving CS Fallback Indicator, eNodeBs handle CSFB for different types of CS
services in a uniform way. The CS services can be voice services, short message service
(SMS), location service (LCS), and emergency calls.
2.2 Benefits
CSFB offers the following benefits:
l Facilitates voice services for LTE networks.
l Helps operators reduce costs by reusing legacy CS networks with no need to deploy an
IMS network.
2.3 Application Scenarios

CSFB can be used when the CS network of the UTRAN/GERAN has the same or larger
coverage area than that of the E-UTRAN.
Figure 2-1 shows the network architecture for CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN.
Figure 2-1 Network architecture for CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN
Table 2-1 describes the elements of the network architecture in Figure 2-1.

eRAN TDD
Table 2-1 Elements of the network architecture for CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN

Element Function
SGs interface l Is an interface between the MME and the mobile switching center
(MSC) server.
l Assists mobility management and paging between the EPS and the
CS network.
l Transmits mobile originated (MO) and mobile terminated (MT)
SMS messages.
l Transmits messages related to combined attach and combined TAU/
LAU. (TAU is short for tracking area update, and LAU is short for
location area update.)
UE l Is capable of accessing the EPS and accessing the UTRAN,

GERAN, or both.
l Supports combined EPS/IMSI (IMSI is short for international
mobile subscriber identity) attach, combined EPS/IMSI detach, and
combined TAU/LAU.
l Supports CSFB mechanisms, such as redirection and handover.
NOTE
CSFB-capable UEs must support SMS over SGs, but UEs that support SMS over
SGs are not necessarily CSFB-capable.
MME l Supports the SGs interface to the MSC/VLR.

l Selects the VLR and location area identity (LAI) based on the
tracking area identity (TAI) of the serving cell.
l Forwards paging messages delivered by the MSC.
l Performs public land mobile network (PLMN) selection and
reselection.
l Supports combined EPS/IMSI attach, combined EPS/IMSI detach,
and combined TAU/LAU.
l Routes CS signaling.
l Supports SMS over SGs.
l Supports RAN information management (RIM), which is required
when flash CSFB or CCO with NACC is used as the CSFB
mechanism. (CCO is short for cell change order and NACC is short
for network assisted cell change.)
MSC l Supports combined EPS/IMSI attach.

l Forwards paging messages transmitted through the SGs interface.

eRAN TDD
Element Function
E-UTRAN l Forwards paging messages related to CSFB.

l Selects target cells for CSFB.
l Supports one or more of the following functions:
PS redirection to UTRAN or GERAN, if PS redirection is used
as the CSFB mechanism.
PS handover to UTRAN or GERAN, if PS handover is used as
the CSFB mechanism.
CCO to GERAN, if CCO is used as the CSFB mechanism.
RIM for acquiring the system information of GERAN cells, if
NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism.
RIM for acquiring the system information of UTRAN or
GERAN cells, in addition to PS redirection, if flash CSFB is
used as the CSFB mechanism.
UTRAN/ Supports one or more of the following functions:

GERAN l Incoming handovers from the E-UTRAN, if PS handover is used as
the CSFB mechanism.
l RIM for delivering the system information of GERAN cells to
eNodeBs, if NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism.
l RIM for delivering the system information of UTRAN or GERAN
cells to eNodeBs, in addition to PS redirection, if flash CSFB is
used as the CSFB mechanism.
NOTE
The UTRAN and GERAN do not need to provide extra functions to support PS
redirection. The GERAN does not need to provide extra functions to support
CCO.
SGSN l Supports the follow-up procedures performed for PS handovers,

including data forwarding, path switching, RAU, authentication,
and encryption.
l Supports RIM, which is required when flash CSFB or CCO with
NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism.
eCoordinator Is a network element provided by Huawei, and is optional. The

eCoordinator supports information exchange during RIM procedures.
To implement CSFB to provide CS services for E-UTRAN, all MSCs that serve overlapping
areas with the E-UTRAN coverage must be upgraded to support functions involving the SGs
interfaces between MSCs and MMEs. These functions include combined attach, combined
TAU/LAU, paging, and SMS. If the live network uses an MSC pool, only one or multiple
MSCs in the MSC pool need to be upgraded to support the SGs interface.
2.4 CSFB Mechanisms

eRAN TDD
2.4.1 CSFB to UTRAN

Based on the capabilities of UEs and networks, three fallback mechanisms are available for an
eNodeB to perform CSFB to UTRAN:
l R8 PS redirection
After receiving a CS Fallback Indicator, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Release message that contains frequency information about the target UTRAN. Based on the
received frequency information, the UE searches for a UTRAN cell, reads the system
information of the UTRAN cell, and initiates initial access and CS sservice setup.
l R9 PS redirection (flash CSFB)
After receiving a CS Fallback Indicator, the eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Release message that contains information about a target UTRAN frequency as well as
system information about multiple cells on the frequency. Based on the received frequency
information, the UE searches for a UTRAN cell. As the UE has obtained the system
information about the target cell, the UE directly initiates initial access and CS service setup
in the target cell, reducing voice delay.
l PS handover
The UE is handed over to the UTRAN through a PS handover procedure between the eNodeB
and the UTRAN. After the handover, the UE initiates CS service setup in the target cell.
Table 2-2 describes the requirements of the three CSFB mechanisms on the network side and
UEs.

2.4.2 CSFB to GERAN

Based on the capabilities of UEs and networks, five fallback mechanisms are available for an
eNodeB to perform CSFB to GERAN:
l R8 PS redirection
For details, see 2.4.1 CSFB to UTRAN.
l R9 PS redirection (flash CSFB)
l CCO
After receiving a CS Fallback Indicator, the eNodeB sends the UE a

MobilityFromEUTRACommand message that contains a target GERAN cell, instructing the
UE to access the cell. The UE must acquire synchronization with the cell and read system
information about the cell before it can access the cell to initiate a CS service.
l CCO with NACC
If NACC is enabled, the RIM procedure is started during CCO from E-UTRAN to GERAN.
With this procedure, the eNodeB acquires system information about the target cell and
delivers it to the UE. The UE accesses the target cell to initiate a CS service with no need to
read the system information, reducing the delay.
l PS handover
Table 2-3 describes the requirements of the five CSFB mechanisms for networks and UEs.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 3 CSFB to UTRAN
3 CSFB to UTRAN
This chapter describes each CSFB to UTRAN feature, CSFB procedure, and RIM procedure
between E-UTRAN and UTRAN.

eRAN TDD
3.1 Overview
CSFB to UTRAN can be implemented in different ways and includes the following features
and functions:
l TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN

l TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN
l TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN
l TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN
l TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN
l Load-based CSFB to UTRAN
CSFB Procedure
Figure 3-1 shows the CSFB to UTRAN procedure.
Figure 3-1 CSFB to UTRAN procedure
Measurement and Blind Handling

The eNodeB determines whether to trigger UTRAN measurements or blind handling for
CSFB to UTRAN based on the status of the blind handover switch first.

eRAN TDD
l If the switch is on, the eNodeB triggers a blind handling.

l If the switch is off, the eNodeB checks the UE capability:
If the UE supports UTRAN measurements, the eNodeB triggers inter-RAT
measurements.
If the UE does not support UTRAN measurements, the eNodeB triggers blind
handling.
For details about the measurement and handover, see Overview of Mobility Management in
Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, blind handling includes PS HO, redirection, and fast redirection for CSFB to
UTRAN and includes PS HO, CCO, NACC, redirection, and fast redirection for CSFB to GERAN in
this document.
3.2 Feature Description
3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN. This
feature is controlled by the UtranCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter
CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch.
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the UtranCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch.
The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level parameter
is cleared.
The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to use
the cell-level parameter.
When a UE initiates a CS service in the E-UTRAN, the MME sends the eNodeB an S1-AP
message containing CS Fallback Indicator, instructing the eNodeB to transfer the UE with the
CS service to a target network. For details about MOC and MTC signaling procedures, see
13.1 Signaling Procedures Involved in CSFB to UTRAN.
3.2.2 TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN.
This feature is controlled by the UtranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the UtranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
is cleared.
This feature is an enhancement to the optional feature TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to

UTRAN. After the two features are activated, the eNodeB obtains the system information of

eRAN TDD
UTRAN cells through RIM procedures and then sends UEs the EUTRAN-to-UTRAN
redirection messages that contain the system information. In this way, the UEs access the
UTRAN cells with no need to read the system information in the cells. This reduces the
access delay. For details about how the UTRAN sends the system information to the eNodeB
through RIM procedures, see Flash CS Fallback Based on RIM Feature Parameter
Description.
This feature requires that the eNodeB can obtain UTRAN cell information through the RIM
procedures and the networks and UEs involved should comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later.
For details about the RIM procedure, see 3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and
UTRAN.
Other procedures are the same as those for CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.2.1
TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN.
3.2.3 TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN.
The UtranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies whether to enable this feature. This feature is a Huawei-proprietary one.
To enable this feature, the MME, MSC, and RNC must be all provided by Huawei and
support this feature. No IMS needs to be deployed.
When a UE initiates a CS service setup request in an LTE network that does not support
VoLTE, this feature enables the eNodeB to hand over the UE to the UTRAN through the
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, shortening
the CSFB delay by 1s and improving user experience significantly. For the detailed signaling
procedure, see 13.1.5 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN.
The measurement procedure and blind handling procedure for this feature are the same as
those described in 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN.
NOTE
If a UE does not support ultra-flash CSFB, a UE compatibility issue arises. To address this issue, select
the UltraFlashCsfbComOptSw option of the GlobalProcSwitch.UeCompatSwitch parameter.
3.2.4 TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN
Application Scenarios
This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to
UTRAN. This feature is under license control but not under switch controll .
This feature 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)

eRAN TDD
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.

UTRAN. With this feature, the eNodeB selects 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.
Handover Measurement
l Selecting frequencies
During measurement configuration, the eNodeB selects only inter-RAT frequencies on
which the PLMN ID of any neighboring cell is the same as that in the LAI received. The
follow-up measurement procedure is similar to that in CS Fallback to UTRAN.
l Selecting neighboring cells
The eNodeB additionally filters neighboring cells in the following order after receiving
measurement reports from a 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
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 3.3
Triggering Events.
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 connected-mode
UEs. For details, see 3.3 Triggering Events.
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, thereby ensuring
the CSFB success rate and reducing the delay.
When the option is selected, the selection sequence is as follows:
a. Neighboring cells with PLMN IDs the same as those in the LAI
b. Neighboring cells with the highest blind-handover priority among a

eRAN TDD
c. Neighboring cells with LACs the same as those in the LAI among b
When the option is cleared, the selection sequence is as follows:
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
3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering

This section describes the CS steering function in the optional feature TDLOFD-001078 E-
UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering. For details about the PS steering function in this feature,
see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
This feature 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 achieve CSFB from E-UTRAN only to the UTRAN frequency that has the highest CS
service priority.
CS Steering in CSFB
This function is an enhancement to the CS Fallback to UTRAN feature. The enhancements
are as follows:
l Frequencies with the highest CS service priority are preferentially selected for inter-RAT
measurement on the UTRAN.
This function is controlled by the UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch option of the cell-level
parameter CellAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwitch.
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the UtranFreqLayerMeasSwitch option of the eNodeB-level

parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwtich.
The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-level
parameter is cleared.
The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are advised to
use the cell-level parameter.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB preferentially selects frequencies with the highest
CS service priority 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(Priority 0) for a frequency, the eNodeB does not select this frequency for
measurement. The follow-up measurement procedure is the same as that in CS Fallback
to UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
l Frequencies with the highest CS service priority are preferentially selected for blind
redirection, or cells on frequencies with the highest CS service priority are preferentially
selected as the target cells of blind handovers.
This function is controlled by the UtranFreqLayerBlindSwitch option of the cell-level
parameter CellAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwitch.

eRAN TDD
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the UtranFreqLayerBlindSwitch option of the eNodeB-level

parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.FreqLayerSwtich.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB preferentially selects a frequency with the highest
CS service priority specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter 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(Priority 0) for a frequency, this frequency is not
involved in frequency prioritization. The follow-up blind handling procedure is the same
as that in CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
LAI-based CS Steering in CSFB

This function is an enhancement to the CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN feature. The
enhancements are as follows:
l Enhancement in measurement
a. The eNodeB selects inter-RAT frequencies on which the PLMN ID of a
neighboring cell is the same as the PLMN ID in the LAI.
b. Among the selected frequencies, the eNodeB selects frequencies with the highest
CS service priority, which is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter.
c. The follow-up measurement procedure is the same as that in CS Fallback to
UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
The difference is that the eNodeB additionally sorts neighboring cells in the following
order after receiving measurement reports from a 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. Among the selected frequencies, the eNodeB selects frequencies with the highest
CS service priority, which is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter.
c. The eNodeB selects a neighboring cell whose PLMN ID and LAC are the same as
those in the LAI.
d. If such a neighboring cell is unavailable, the eNodeB selects a neighboring cell
whose PLMN ID is the same as that in the LAI but LAC is different from that in the
LAI.
e. The follow-up blind handling procedure is the same as that in CS Fallback to
UTRAN. For details, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.

eRAN TDD
3.2.6 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to
UTRAN. This feature is controlled by the UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the cell-level
parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch.
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the UtranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
is cleared.

UTRAN. Operators can set target RATs for UEs in different states at the time when the UEs
initiate CS services. There are two types of UEs:
l CS-only UE
If the MME uses an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to send a CS
Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB, the eNodeB determines that the UE is in idle mode
when initiating the CS service. This UE is called a CS-only UE.
l CS+PS UE
If the MME uses a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message to send a CS
Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB, the eNodeB determines that the UE is performing PS
services when initiating the CS service. This UE is called a CS+PS UE.
CS-Only UE
The eNodeB selects the target RAT based on the RAT priorities specified by the parameters in
Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Target RAT priority parameter list for CSFB of CS-only UEs

NOTE
Parameters in the CSFallBackBlindHoCfg MO are eNodeB-level. When you run ADD CNoperator
with CnOperatorId configured to add an operator, parameters in the CSFallBackBlindHoCfg MO are
automatically set to default values. Cell-level parameters for inter-RAT handovers are configured by
running ADD CELLOPHOCFG. When both CSFallBackBlindHoCfg and CellOpHoCfg are
configured, CellOpHoCfg prevails.
The eNodeB can select a neighboring cell or frequency with a lower-priority RAT only if no
neighboring cell or frequency with higher-priority RATs is configured.
If UTRAN is assigned the highest RAT priority, the eNodeB selects target frequencies based
on the setting of the UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameter. For details, see 3.2.5
TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering.
The eNodeB selects the handover policy for CSFB of CS-only UEs based on the setting of the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. PS handover takes priority
over redirection.
CS+PS UE
If the UE is a CS+PS UE, the eNodeB selects the target RAT based on the RAT priorities
specified by the parameters in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2 Target RAT priority parameter list for CSFB of CS+PS UEs

The eNodeB can select a neighboring cell or frequency with a lower-priority RAT only if no
neighboring cell or frequency with higher-priority RATs is configured.
If UTRAN is assigned the highest RAT priority, the eNodeB selects target frequencies based
on the setting of the UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. The
UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority and UtranNFreq.CsPriority parameters have similar
setting principles. For details, see 3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS
Steering.
The eNodeB selects the handover policy for CSFB based on the setting of the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. PS HO and redirection are selected in
descending order.

eRAN TDD
3.2.7 Load-based CSFB to UTRAN

This section describes load-based CSFB to UTRAN. This function is an enhancement to the
CS Fallback to UTRAN feature. The CSFBLoadInfoSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this function.
In load-based CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Multiple Report
mode to obtain the load information about UTRAN cells. For details about the RIM
procedure, see 3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN. After receiving the
load information about UTRAN cells, the eNodeB saves the information and uses the
information to determine the target UTRAN cell for the CSFB.
In load-based CSFB to UTRAN, the measurement and blind handover procedures are the
same as those in the CS Fallback to UTRAN feature. For details, see 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033
CS FallBack to UTRAN.
When selecting a target cell for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB considers UTRAN cells in the
following priority order of load status: normal, congested, and overloaded.
Load-based CSFB to UTRAN affects the target cell selection at a later phase. In the
measurement phase, if necessary, cell load status does not affect frequency selection: The
eNodeB does not select a low-priority frequency because all UTRAN cells on a high-priority
frequency are overloaded.
3.3 Triggering Events

CSFB triggering is classified into measurement triggering and blind handling triggering.
Measurement Triggering
During CSFB, the eNodeB starts UTRAN measurements after it receives a CS Fallback
Indicator. The measurement configuration procedure is the same as that for coverage-based
handovers from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in
Connected Mode.
They have different thresholds and time-to-trigger. Table 3-3 lists the thresholds and time-to-
trigger related to event B1 for CSFB to UTRAN. Other parameters are the same as those
related to event B1 for coverage-based inter-frequency handovers.

Blind Handling Triggering

Blind handling is controlled by the following two options. The blind handling function takes
effect only when both options are selected.
l BlindHoSwitch of the eNodeB-level ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter
l BlindHoSwitch of the cell-level CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter
After ultra-flash CSFB to UTRAN or GERAN is enabled and the blind handling function
takes effect, the eNodeB performs further operations on UEs supporting ultra-flash CSFB
based on the UFCsfbBlindHoDisSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch
parameter.
l If this option is selected, the blind handling function for UEs supporting ultra-flash
CSFB does not take effect. Therefore, the eNodeB performs a measurement-based CSFB
procedure for the UEs.
l If this option is cleared, the eNodeB performs a blind-handling-based CSFB procedure
for the UEs supporting ultra-flash CSFB.
When an E-UTRAN coverage area is larger than a UTRAN coverage area and E-UTRAN and
UTRAN base stations are co-sited, adaptive blind handover for CSFB can be used. It It
estimates the signal strength of the neighboring UTRAN cell based on the signal strength of
the serving E-UTRAN cell. The estimation result determines the type of handover.
l If the UE is located in the center of the E-UTRAN cell, the eNodeB performs a blind
handling.
l If the UE is located at the edge of the E-UTRAN cell, the eNodeB performs a
measurement before the CSFB decision.
When the blind handling function is enabled:
l If adaptive blind handover for CSFB is disabled, the eNodeB enters the blind handling
procedure.
l If adaptive blind handover for CSFB is enabled, the eNodeB delivers the event A1-
related measurement configuration after CSFB is started.
If the eNodeB receives an event A1 report, it determines that the UE is located in
the center of the E-UTRAN cell. A blind handling procedure starts.
If the eNodeB does not receive an event A1 report, it determines that the UE is
located at the edge of the E-UTRAN cell. A measurement procedure starts.
The threshold for event A1 is specified by the CSFallBackHo.BlindHoA1ThdRsrp
parameter, and other event-A1-related principles are the same as these in coverage-based
handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN. For details, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management
in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection

Measurement Object Selection
The selection procedure is as follows:
1. The eNodeB selects the target RAT.
If CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN and CS Fallback Steering to GERAN are
enabled and the highest-priority RAT is specified, the eNodeB selects only

eRAN TDD
frequencies of the highest-priority RAT. For example, if the

CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.IdleCsfbHighestPri parameter is set to UTRAN, the
eNodeB selects only UTRAN frequencies for measurement.
If CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN and CS Fallback Steering to GERAN are
disabled, the eNodeB selects all frequencies for measurement.
2. The eNodeB filters frequencies and neighboring cells.
When selecting frequencies of a target RAT for measurement, 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:
Blacklisted neighboring cells
Neighboring cells to which handovers are prohibited as indicated by the No
handover indicator parameter for cells in neighboring cell lists
Neighboring cells with different PLMN IDs from the serving cell in neighboring
cell lists (If the inter-PLMN handover switch is on, the eNodeB does not filter out
these neighboring cells.)
Cells to which handovers are prohibited as indicated by the Handover Restriction
List IE in the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message sent from the
MME
3. The eNodeB selects cells to measure.
Figure 3-2 shows the selection procedure.
Figure 3-2 Procedure for selecting cells to measure

eRAN TDD
The procedure shown in Figure 3-2 involves the following data configuration and
activities:
Neighboring UTRAN frequencies are configured in UtranNFreq MOs.
The CS service priority is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or
UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. For details about this parameter, see
3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering and 3.2.6
TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN.
The priorities of neighboring UTRAN frequencies for connected-mode UEs are
specified by the UtranNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter.
The measurement priority for neighboring UTRAN cells can be automatically
optimized by ANR. The UTRAN_SWITCH option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter controls the automatic
optimization function. It is recommended that this option be selected only if ANR is
enabled.
n If this option is selected, the eNodeB automatically optimizes the
UtranNCell.NCellMeasPriority parameter for neighboring UTRAN cells.
This parameter cannot be modified manually. For details, see ANR
Management Feature Parameter Description.
n If this option is deselected, the measurement priority is specified by the
UtranNCell.CellMeasPriority parameter, which must be configured manually.
When the eNodeB selects highest-priority frequencies or cells, the number of
frequencies or cells selected is equal to the number of candidates if the number does
not exceed the maximum permissible number. If the number of candidates exceeds
the maximum permissible number, the eNodeB randomly selects the maximum
permissible number of frequencies or cells from the candidates.
The maximum permissible number of frequencies is specified by the
CellUeMeasControlCfg.MaxUtranTddMeasFreqNum parameter.
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.
Blind Handling Target Selection

The selection procedure is as follows:
1. The eNodeB selects the target RAT.
During blind handling for CSFB, the eNodeB selects the target RAT based on the RAT
priorities specified by the parameters in Table 3-4. If both eNodeB- and cell-level
parameters are set, the cell-level parameter settings prevail.
Table 3-4 RAT priority parameters

RAT Priority eNodeB-Level Parameter Cell-Level Parameter
Highest priority CSFallBackBlind- CellOpHoCfg.InterRatHi

InterRat HoCfg.InterRatHighestPri ghestPri
Second priority CSFallBackBlind- CellOpHoCfg.InterRatSe

InterRat HoCfg.InterRatSecondPri condPri
Lowest priority CSFallBackBlind- CellOpHoCfg.InterRatLo

InterRat HoCfg.InterRatLowestPri westPri

eRAN TDD
If CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri or CellOpHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri
is set to UTRAN, the eNodeB performs CSFB to UTRAN.
2. The eNodeB filters frequencies and cells.
During target selection, 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:
Blacklisted neighboring cells
Neighboring cells to which handovers are prohibited as indicated by the No
handover indicator parameter for cells in neighboring cell lists
Neighboring cells with different PLMN IDs from the serving cell in neighboring
cell lists (If the inter-PLMN handover switch is on, the eNodeB does not filter out
these neighboring cells.)
Cells to which handovers are prohibited 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.
Before the eNodeB can select a cell as the target cell for the blind handover from E-
UTRAN to UTRAN, the neighboring UTRAN cell must be configured on the
eNodeB and be assigned a blind-handover priority. Figure 3-3 shows the procedure
for selecting the target cell for a blind handover.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-3 Target cell selection for a blind handover
activities:
n The CS service priority is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or
UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. For details about this parameter,
see 3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering and 3.2.6
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 highest-priority frequency or neighboring cell, the
eNodeB randomly selects one.
Before the blind redirection from E-UTRAN to UTRAN, neighboring UTRAN
frequencies and their priorities for connected-mode UEs must be configured.
Neighboring UTRAN cell configurations are not required. Figure 3-4 shows the
procedure for selecting the target frequency for blind redirection.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-4 Target frequency selection for blind redirection
activities:
n Neighboring UTRAN frequencies are configured in UtranNFreq MOs.
n The priorities of neighboring UTRAN frequencies for connected-mode UEs
are specified by the UtranNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter.
n The CS service priority is specified by the UtranNFreq.CsPriority or
UtranNFreq.CsPsMixedPriority parameter. For details about this parameter,
see 3.2.5 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering and 3.2.6
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,
which is specified by UtranNCell.BlindHoPriority, the eNodeB selects
the operating frequency of the cell with the highest blind-handover
priority.
If all neighboring cells are assigned blind-handover priority 0, the
eNodeB considers frequency priorities for connected-mode UEs It

eRAN TDD
preferentially selects the frequency with the highest priority for

connected-mode UEs.
n The PLMN information about neighboring UTRAN frequencies is contained
in UtranRanShare or UtranExternalCell MOs.
n If there is more than one highest-priority frequency or cell, the eNodeB
randomly selects one.
3.5 Decision
In the decision phase, the eNodeB checks the candidate cell list. Based on the check result, the
eNodeB determines whether a CSFB needs to be initiated and, if so, to which cell the UE is to
be fallen back to.
The candidate cell list generated for CSFB is controlled by the
CellHoParaCfg.L2UCsfbMRProMode parameter.
This parameter has three values: HANDOVERIMMEDIATELY,
BASEDONSIGNALSTRENGTH, and BASEDONFREQPRIORITY. Figure 3-5 shows
the candidate cell list generation procedure when parameter configurations are different.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-5 Candidate cell list generation procedure
As shown in Figure 3-5, the CellHoParaCfg.CsfbMRWaitingTimer parameter specifies the

timer for candidate cell list generation during CSFB.
When a candidate cell based on BASEDONSIGNALSTRENGTH or
BASEDONFREQPRIORITY is selected and the subsequent handover preparation fails, the
eNodeB no longer starts the timer to wait but performs the decision immediately after
receiving the measurement report.
3.5.1 Basic Decision Method

When the CSFB policy is PS handover, SRVCC, or redirection (excluding flash redirection),
the eNodeB uses the basic decision method, with no need to obtain system information of the
peer.
In the decision phase, the eNodeB checks the candidate cell list. Based on the check result, the
eNodeB determines whether a CSFB needs to be initiated and, if so, to which cell the UE is to
be fallen back to. If the eNodeB receives measurement reports about different RATs, it
handles the reports in a first-in first-out manner.

eRAN TDD
The eNodeB sends a handover request to the target cell. If the handover request fails, the
eNodeB sends the handover request to the next target cell, as described in Table 3-5.
Table 3-5 Sequence of handover requests to be sent by the eNodeB

Candidate Cell List Sequence of Handover Requests
Generated by
Measurement A handover request is sent to the cell with the best signal
quality.
Blind handover A handover request is sent to a cell or frequency that has the
highest priority. If multiple cells have the highest priority, the
eNodeB randomly selects a cell for blind handover.
If the handover request fails in all candidate cells:

l In a measurement-based handover procedure, the eNodeB waits for a next measurement
report from the UE.
l In a blind handover procedure, the eNodeB stops the handover attempt.
3.5.2 Decision Based on System Information

When the handover policy (for example, flash redirection) requires the eNodeB to obtain
system information about the peer, the eNodeB makes a handover decision based on system
information. In this phase, the eNodeB delivers system information about cells about the
target RAT to the UE. Therefore, the UE does need to read the system information, shortening
the delay of access to the target network.
Decision based on system information adheres to the following principles:
l In blind handling scenarios:
a. The eNodeB generates a candidate cell list based on the blind-handover priorities of
cells on the target frequencies of redirection and then adds other cells on these
frequencies to the list. The UTRAN_SWITCH option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch parameter specifies the sequence of
adding other cells.
If this switch is on, the eNodeB adds other cells on the target frequencies in
descending order of UtranNCell.NCellMeasPriority.
If this switch is off, the eNodeB adds cells with the highest measurement priority
specified by the UtranNCell.CellMeasPriority parameter.
b. The eNodeB takes the actions described in 3.5.1 Basic Decision Method.
c. The eNodeB filters out the cells whose system information has not been obtained.
d. The eNodeB filters cells based on SPID-based mobility management in connected
mode. For details, see LOFD-00105401 Camp & Handover Based on SPID in
Flexible User Steering Feature Parameter Description.
l In measurement scenarios:
a. The eNodeB adds cells on the target frequency for redirection but not in
measurement reports to the target cell list generated based on measurement reports.

eRAN TDD
The UTRAN_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.NCellRankingSwitch

parameter specifies the sequence of adding other cells.
b. The eNodeB takes the actions described in 3.5.1 Basic Decision Method.
c. The eNodeB filters out the cells whose system information has not been obtained.
Operators can set the InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxUtranCellNum parameter to specify
the maximum permissible number of UTRAN cells contained in a redirection message.
Assume that this parameter is set to N.
l If the number of target cells in the filtering result is greater than N, the eNodeB selects
the first N cells.
l If the number of target cells in the filtering result is smaller than N, the eNodeB selects
all these cells.
The eNodeB obtains system information about target cells through the RIM procedure. If a
target cell does not support the RIM procedure, the eNodeB cannot obtain system information
about that cell.
3.6 Execution
In the execution phase, the eNodeB controls the fallback of the UE from the source cell to the
target cell or frequency.
3.6.1 CSFB Policy Selection

CSFB from E-UTRAN to UTRAN can be based on PS handover, redirection, or flash
redirection, as shown in Figure 3-6. This policy selection procedure is based on the
assumption that neighboring frequencies and cells have been configured appropriately.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-6 EUTRAN-to-UTRAN CSFB policy selection procedure
The CSFB policy is determined by different parameters, depending on whether

TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN is enabled.
l If this feature is enabled:

The CSFB policy for UEs in idle mode is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.
The CSFB policy for UEs in connected mode is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.
l If this feature is disabled, the CSFB policy is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter, regardless of whether UEs are in
idle or connected mode.
The parameters in Figure 3-6 are described as follows:

eRAN TDD
l If blind redirection for CSFB is required, select the REDIRECTION option of the
l The CSFB protection timer is specified by the CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectionTimer
parameter.
If the UE does not send inter-RAT measurement reports and stays in the area covered by
the eNodeB when the timer expires, the eNodeB performs redirection for CSFB.
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 redirection.
The eNodeB preferentially selects the operating frequency of a cell to which the
eNodeB has never attempted to hand over the UE as the target frequency for
redirection.
If there is no target frequency available for redirection, the eNodeB stops the
procedure.
If flash CSFB is enabled in this situation, redirection performed by the eNodeB is
referred to as emergency redirection for CSFB. In this scenario, operators must
must set the InterRatHoComm.UtranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameter to
specify the maximum number of UTRAN cells that can be included in an
emergency redirection message.
l The eNodeB selects the target cell for redirection as it does during blind handling. For
details about the selection, see 3.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection.
Blind handover is controlled by the BlindHoSwitch option in the eNodeB-level
parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch and the BlindHoSwitch option in
the cell-level parameter CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch. The blind handover
function takes effect only when both options are selected.
Adaptive blind handover for CSFB is controlled by the
CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the cell-level parameter
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-

level parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch.
The option of the cell-level parameter takes effect only when that option of the eNodeB-
level parameter is cleared.
The eNodeB-level parameter will no longer be used in later versions. Therefore, you are
advised to use the cell-level parameter.
l If PS handover for CSFB is required, the UtranPsHoSwitch option of the
CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter and the PS_HO option of the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter must be selected. If either option is
cleared, PS handover for CSFB does not take effect. The eNodeB selects redirection as
the CSFB policy. If redirection does not take effect either, the eNodeB enters the
emergency blind redirection procedure when the CSFB protection timer expires.
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the UtranPsHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.

eRAN TDD
l During a blind PS handover for CSFB, if the handover preparation in the target 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 all
these cells fail in handover preparation, the eNodeB performs emergency blind
redirection.
3.6.2 Redirection-based CSFB Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode

Redirection-based CSFB for UEs in idle mode has been optimized to accelerate CSFB by
shortening end-to-end delay and to reduce the CSFB failure rate due to initial context setup
failures.
An eNodeB evaluates whether to perform the optimized redirection procedure after it
determines to perform a blind handover, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7 Redirection-based CSFB optimization for UEs in idle mode
The optimization is controlled by the IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch option of the

GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch parameter.
For details about how to decide between redirection and flash redirection, see 3.6.1 CSFB
Policy Selection.

eRAN TDD
For details about the signaling procedure for redirection-based CSFB optimization for UEs in
idle mode, see 13.1.6 Redirection-based CSFB Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode.
NOTE
When the optimization switch is turned on and CSFB with LAI to UTRAN or GERAN is enabled, it is
recommended that the RsvdSwPara1_bit25 option of the ENBRsvdPara.RsvdSwPara1 parameter be
selected to prevent function conflicts.
3.6.3 CSFB Admission Optimization for UEs in Idle Mode

A UE in idle mode only has a default bearer for data service, and the allocation/retention
priority (ARP) of the default bearer is generally lower. At CSFB to a cell that is congested or
cannot accommodate more UEs, this UE cannot preempt resources in the target cell.
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 UEs in idle mode are admitted to target cells for CSFB. For details
about the admission procedure, see Admission and Congestion Control .
3.6.4 Retry and Penalty

For CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover, after the eNodeB sends a handover request to
the target cell and admission failure, including resource admission failure and non-resource
admission failure, occurs, the eNodeB imposes a penalty on the target cell. During the penalty
period, the eNodeB does not allow UEs to be handed over to the target cell, avoiding
unnecessary handover request signaling and increasing the handover preparation failure rate.
After the penalty period, if the target cell meets handover requirements, the eNodeB retries
the handover request to the target cell. For details about the penalty and retry, see Intra-RAT
Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
If the emergency blind redirection procedure for CSFB is triggered, the eNodeB does not
consider whether the target cell is penalized during target cell selection.
3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN

The RIM procedure exchanges information between the E-UTRAN and UTRAN.
In CSFB procedures, an eNodeB obtains the load information of external UTRAN cells from
RNCs through the RIM procedure. When the GlobalProcSwitch.UtranLoadTransChan
parameter is set to BASED_ON_RIM, the eNodeB obtains UTRAN cell load information
through the RIM procedure for target cell selection.
In flash CSFB procedures, an eNodeB obtains the system information (SI) of UTRAN cells
from RNCs through the RIM procedure.
The RIM procedure may use one of the following information exchange modes:
l Single Report
In Single Report mode, the source sends a request, and then the target responds with a
single report.

eRAN TDD
When flash CSFB to UTRAN is activated, the eNodeB sends a RIM request to the RNC
and then includes the obtained SI in a redirection message to the UE. If the eNodeB fails
to obtain SI from the RNC, the eNodeB no longer sends the RIM request.
l Multiple Report
Currently, the eNodeB triggers a RIM procedure in Multiple Report mode only if MMEs
comply with 3GPP Release 9 or later.
In Multiple Report mode, the target responds with a report after receiving a request from
the source, and the target also sends a report to the source each time information about
the target changes.
When flash CSFB to UTRAN is enabled, the eNodeB sends RIM requests to all
neighboring UTRAN cells every 4 seconds no matter whether the eNodeB has CSFB
services.
To ensure that the SI of a UTRAN neighboring cell can be obtained successfully, the
eNodeB starts a 4s timer when it sends a RIM request.
If the eNodeB receives a response to the RIM request before the timer expires, the
eNodeB saves the obtained SI.
If the eNodeB receives a response to the RIM request after the timer expires, the
eNodeB considers that an exception has occurred and discards the SI.
If the eNodeB does not receive a response to the RIM request even after the timer
expires, the eNodeB sends the RIM request and starts the timer again (called a
retry) 2 hours later. If the eNodeB still does not receive a response after 10 retries,
the RIM request fails. The interval between the nth and (n-1)th retries is twice the
number of the retries n. For example, the first retry occurs 2 hours after the first SI
acquisition fails, the second retry occurs 4 hours after the first retry fails, and the
third retry occurs 6 hours after the second retry fails. For each retry, the eNodeB
sends a RIM request and restarts the timer.
The eNodeB may obtain incorrect SI due to errors in the UTRAN, core network, or
transport network. To avoid this situation, the eNodeB randomly selects a time point
every day from 02:00 a.m. to 04:00 a.m and deletes all the obtained SI. Then, the
eNodeB requests the SI of UTRAN cells through the RIM procedure again.
If a neighboring UTRAN cell is faulty or deactivated, the RNC sends the eNodeB an
END message, instructing the eNodeB to stop the RIM procedure. The eNodeB then
deletes the obtained SI and requests SI again in the next RIM procedure.
The RIM procedure can be performed through the core network or eCoordinator.
3.7.1 RIM Procedure Through the Core Network

If ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch is set to OFF(Off), the RIM procedure is
performed through the core network. As shown in Figure 3-8, the RIM procedure involves
the eNodeB, MME, SGSN, and RNC Among these NEs, the MME and the SGSN transfer but
do not interpret information. For details, see section 8c "Signalling procedures between RIM
SAPs" in 3GPP TS 48.018 V10.0.0.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-8 RIM procedure through the core network
In Figure 3-9:
l The UTRAN_RIM_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimSwitch parameter
controls the RIM procedure between E-UTRAN and UTRAN.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Multiple Report mode
to obtain the SI of external UTRAN cells.
l The UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter specifies whether UTRAN operators
can use different mobility policies.
l The UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg parameter specify the capability of SI
acquisition through RIM. If the capability is not configured for an operator or RNC, it is
supported by default.

eRAN TDD
Figure 3-9 Information exchange mode selection for the RIM procedure
3.7.2 RIM Procedure Through the eCoordinator

If ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch is set to ON(On), the RIM procedure is performed
through the eCoordinator. As shown in Figure 3-10, the RIM procedure through the
eCoordinator involves the eNodeB, eCoordinator, and RNC. Among these NEs, the
eCoordinator transfers but does not interpret information.
Figure 3-10 RIM procedure through the eCoordinator

eRAN TDD
The RIM procedure through the eCoordinator requires that the corresponding switches of this
function be on at all these NEs.
During this RIM procedure, each NE does not send RIM messages to the core network or
process RIM messages from the core network.
The information exchange mode for the eCoordinator-based RIM procedure is controlled by
UTRAN_RIM_SWITCH of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimSwitch parameter.
l If this switch is on, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Multiple Report mode to
obtain the SI of external UTRAN cells.
l If this switch is off, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Single Report mode.

4.2 Feature Description
4.2.1 TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN. This
feature is controlled by the GeranCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter

eRAN TDD
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the GeranCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
is cleared.
This feature has the same principles as CS Fallback to UTRAN, except the preceding
parameters. For details about the principles, see 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to
UTRAN.
Handover Measurement
The frequency priority used during target frequency selection is specified by the
GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
During the GERAN frequency selection for measurement that is different from the UTRAN
frequency selection, if the total number of the GERAN frequencies that can be delivered in
the frequency group with the highest priority and the frequencies that have been delivered
exceeds the allowed maximum number 32, all frequencies in this frequency group cannot be
delivered. The eNodeB determines whether the GERAN frequencies in the frequency group
with the second highest priority can be delivered until the number of delivered frequencies is
less than or equal to the maximum number of GERAN frequencies allowed for measurement
or all frequency groups are determined.
In GERAN, no cell measurement priority is configured. If the number of cells working on a
frequency exceeds the specification, the eNodeB randomly measures certain cells.
Blind Handling
If the eNodeB-level CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri parameter or cell-level
CellOpHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri parameter is set to GERAN(GERAN), the eNodeB
performs CSFB to GERAN. In case that both eNodeB- and cell-level parameters are
configured, the cell-level parameter settings prevail.
During blind handling, the target RAT selection procedure is different, depending on whether
neighboring GERAN cells are configured.
l If neighboring GERAN cells are configured:
The blind handover priority of a GERAN neighboring cell is specified by the
GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
The GERAN frequency group with the highest priority (specified by the
GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter) is selected for blind handling. A
larger value indicates a higher priority.
If the priorities of neighboring cells or frequencies are the same, the eNodeB
randomly selects a target cell or frequency. Due to uncertainty of random selection,
you are not advised to set the priorities to the same to ensure the blind handover

4.2.2 TDLOFD-001053 Flash CSFB to GERAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001053 Flash CSFB to GERAN. This
feature is controlled by the GeranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the cell-level parameter
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the GeranFlashCsfbSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter

GERAN. After this feature is activated, the eNodeB obtains the system information of
GERAN cells through the RIM procedure and then sends UEs the EUTRAN-to-GERAN
redirection messages that contain the system information. The
InterRatHoComm.CellInfoMaxGeranCellNum parameter specifies the maximum number
of GERAN cells that can be contained in a redirection message.
With this feature, UEs access the GERAN cells with no need to read the system information
in the cells. This reduces the access delay. For details about how the GERAN sends the
system information to the eNodeB through RIM procedures, see Interoperability Between
GSM and LTE.
This feature has the same principles as Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN. For details, see 3.2.2
TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN.
4.2.3 TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback with LAI to GERAN

GERAN. This feature is under license control but not under switch control.
This feature has the same principles as CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN. For details, see

4.2.4 TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to
GERAN. This feature is controlled by the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the cell-level
parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch.
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
is cleared.
The principles of this feature are similar to the principles of the CS Fallback Steering to
UTRAN feature. For details about the principles, see 3.2.6 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback
Steering to UTRAN.

eRAN TDD
The eNodeB selects a handover policy for CSFB of a CS-only UE based on the setting of the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. The eNodeB selects PS
handover, CCO, or redirection in descending order of priority.
The eNodeB selects a handover policy for CSFB of a CS+PS UE based on the setting of the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter. The eNodeB selects PS handover, CCO,
or redirection in descending order of priority.
4.2.5 TDLOFD-081203 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN

This section describes the optional feature TDLOFD-081203 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN.
The GeranUltraFlashCsfbSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies whether to enable this feature. This feature is a Huawei-proprietary one.
To enable this feature, the MME, MSC, and eNodeB must be all provided by Huawei and
support this feature. No IMS needs to be deployed.
When a UE initiates a CS service setup request in an LTE network that does not support
VoLTE, this feature enables the eNodeB to hand over the UE to the GERAN through the
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, shortening
the CSFB delay by 2s. For the detailed signaling procedure, see 13.2.6 Ultra-Flash CSFB to
GERAN.
The measurement procedure and blind handling procedure for this feature are the same as
those described in 3.2.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN.
This feature works when external GERAN cells support it.
l If all external GERAN cells support this feature, no configuration on the eNodeB is
required.
l If some external GERAN cells do not support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN, the
following configurations are required:
Set UltraFlashCsfbInd to BOOLEAN_FALSE for external GERAN cells that do
not support ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN.
The ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN capability for external GERAN cells is specified
by the GeranExternalCell.UltraFlashCsfbInd parameter.
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. To achieve this, the
Channel Release message must contain E-UTRA frequency information, based on which the
UE selects a suitable E-UTRAN cell to camp on.
When IratMeasCfgTransSwitch under the GlobalProcSwitch.ProtocolMsgOptSwitch
parameter is on, the eNodeB filters E-UTRA frequencies supported by the UE based on the
UE capability 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.
If the CellDrxPara.DrxForMeasSwitch parameter is set to ON(On), the eNodeB delivers the
DRX and gap-assisted measurement configurations if the following conditions are met. In the
following scenarios, the UE performs measurements preferentially in consecutive sections of
sleep time in DRX to accelerate the measurements and decrease the delay.
l 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 GSM frequency is TRUE in the UE
capability message.

eRAN TDD
l The UE supports DRX.

l The BlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter is
cleared or the following conditions are met:
The BlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter
is selected.
The BlindHoSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch parameter is
selected.
The UFCsfbBlindHoDisSwitch option of the CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch
parameter is selected.
To increase the probability of the UE entering sleep time, set DRX parameters to achieve a
longer sleep time. However, this setting affects scheduling and therefore decreases cell
throughput.
For details about how to configure measurement-specific DRX parameters, see DRX and
Signaling Control.
NOTE
If a UE does not support ultra-flash CSFB, a UE compatibility issue arises. To address this issue, select
the UltraFlashCsfbComOptSw option of the GlobalProcSwitch.UeCompatSwitch parameter.
4.3 Triggering
CSFB triggering is classified into measurement triggering and blind handling triggering. For
details, see 3.3 Triggering Events.
When the CSFB_MEAS_DEL_INTERFREQ_SW option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.MeasOptAlgoSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB implements the
following optimization for measurement:
l When the GSM measurement is triggered by CSFB, the eNodeB releases all the inter-
frequency measurement.
l After the GSM measurement is triggered by CSFB, starting the inter-frequency
measurement is forbidden.
4.4 Target Cell/Frequency Selection

Measurement Object Selection
The frequency priority used during measurement object selection is specified by the
GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
Unlike the UTRAN frequency selection, in the GERAN frequency selection, if the total
number of GERAN frequencies in the highest-priority frequency group to be delivered and
frequencies that have been delivered exceeds the maximum number 32, the eNodeB does not
deliver any frequency in this group. The eNodeB then evaluates whether to deliver the
GERAN frequencies in the frequency group with the second highest priority. The evaluation
stops when the number of delivered frequencies is less than or equal to the maximum number
or all frequency groups have been evaluated.

eRAN TDD
For CSFB to GERAN, no cell measurement priority is configured. If the number of cells on a
frequency exceeds the maximum permissible number, the eNodeB randomly selects cells for
measurement.
Blind Handling Target Selection

If CSFallBackBlindHoCfg.InterRatHighestPri is set to GERAN(GERAN), the eNodeB
performs CSFB to GERAN.
The target RAT selection procedure varies depending on whether neighboring GERAN cells
have been configured.
l If neighboring GERAN cells have been configured, the eNodeB selects a target cell with
the highest blind handover priority or a target frequency group with the highest priority
for connected-mode UEs.
The blind handover priority of a GERAN neighboring cell is specified by the
GeranNcell.BlindHoPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
The GERAN frequency group priority for connected-mode UEs is specified by the
GeranNfreqGroup.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher
priority.
If neighboring cells or frequencies have the same priority, the eNodeB randomly
selects one. To prevent uncertainty of random selection and increase the success
rate of blind handovers, you are not advised to set an identical priority for cells or
frequencies.
l If no neighboring GERAN cell has been configured:
Neighboring GERAN frequency groups are configured in GeranNfreqGroup
MOs.
The PLMN information about neighboring GERAN frequencies is contained in the
GeranRanShare or GeranExternalCell MOs.
4.5 Decision
The decision for CSFB to GERAN is the same as that for CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see
3.5 Decision.
4.6 Execution
When a UE in an LTE network needs to perform a voice service but the LTE network does not
support VoLTE, a procedure of CSFB to an inter-RAT network is triggered.
CSFB from E-UTRAN to GERAN can be based on PS handover, CCO/NACC, redirection, or

flash redirection, as shown in Figure 4-2. This policy selection procedure is based on the
assumption that neighboring frequencies and cells have been configured appropriately.
During a blind PS handover for CSFB, if the handover preparation in the target 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 all these cells fail in
handover preparation, the eNodeB performs emergency blind redirection.

eRAN TDD
Figure 4-2 EUTRAN-to-GERAN CSFB policy selection procedure
The parameters in Figure 4-2 are described as follows:
l The CSFB protection timer is specified by the CSFallBackHo.CsfbProtectionTimer

parameter. If the UE stays in the area covered by the eNodeB when the timer expires, the
eNodeB performs redirection for CSFB.
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 redirection.
If there is no target frequency available for redirection, the eNodeB stops the
procedure.
If flash CSFB is enabled in this situation, redirection performed by the eNodeB is
referred to as CSFB emergency redirection. For this type of CSFB, you must set the
InterRatHoComm.GeranCellNumForEmcRedirect parameter to specify the
maximum number of GERAN cells that can be contained in a message delivered to
the UE during a CSFB emergency redirection procedure.
l Blind handover is controlled by the BlindHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level
parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch and the BlindHoSwitch option of the

eRAN TDD
cell-level parameter CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch. The blind handover function takes

effect only when both options are selected.
l Adaptive blind handover for CSFB is controlled by the CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch
option of the cell-level parameter CellAlgoSwitch.HoAllowedSwitch.
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the CsfbAdaptiveBlindHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level

parameter ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch.
l The CSFB policies are controlled by the options of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter:
The PS handover capability is specified by GeranPsHoSwitch.
The CCO capability is specified by GeranCcoSwitch.
The NACC capability is specified by GeranNaccSwitch.
The redirection capability is specified by GeranRedirectSwitch.
When CSFB to GERAN is based on CCO with NACC, the eNodeB obtains SI of
external cells from RNCs through the RIM procedure. For details about the RIM
procedure, see 4.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and GERAN.
l The CSFB policy is determined by different parameters, depending on whether
TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN is enabled.
If this feature is enabled:
The CSFB policy for UEs in idle mode is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.IdleModeCsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter.
The CSFB policy for UEs in connected mode is specified by the
If this feature is disabled, the CSFB policy is specified by the
CSFallBackPolicyCfg.CsfbHoPolicyCfg parameter, regardless of whether UEs are in
idle or connected mode.
If a target cell experiences admission failure during a handover from E-UTRAN to
GERAN, the target cell enters the penalty and retry procedure. The penalty and retry
procedure from E-UTRAN to GERAN is the same as that from E-UTRAN to UTRAN.
For details, see 3.6.4 Retry and Penalty.
4.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and GERAN

The principles of the RIM procedure between E-UTRAN and GERAN are the same as those
described in 3.7 RIM Procedure Between E-UTRAN and UTRAN.
The RIM procedure between E-UTRAN and GERAN is enabled by default because there is
no switch for selecting a load information transfer channel.
If ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch is set to OFF(Off), the RIM procedure is
performed through the core network. If this parameter is set to ON(On), the RIM procedure is
performed through the eCoordinator. The two RIM procedures select information exchange
modes in the same way.
In Figure 4-3:

eRAN TDD
l The RIM procedure between E-UTRAN and GERAN is controlled by the

GERAN_RIM_SWITCH option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimSwitch parameter.
If this option is selected, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Multiple Report
mode to obtain the SI of external GERAN cells. If external GERAN cells do not
support the Multiple Report mode, they do not notify the eNodeB of any system
information change after the initial request.
If this option is cleared, the eNodeB uses the RIM procedure in Single Report mode
to obtain the system information of external GERAN cells.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 5 Handover and CSFB Procedure Conflict Optimization
5 Handover and CSFB Procedure Conflict

Optimization
When the UE in connected mode initiates the CSFB procedure during S1/X2-based handover
preparation, 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 reestablishment request in such a scenario, the CSFB
call fails.
When a UE attaching to the network or 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 identifies the handover request from the eNodeB as inappropriate and
discards it. The eNodeB waits for the handover request response for 20s (default value
specified by the timer). If the eNodeB receives the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION
REQUEST message with the CS Fallback Indicator IE from the MME, the eNodeB rejects the
CSFB request and therefore the CSFB call fails.
To solve CSFB call failure problems in the preceding scenarios, the eNodeB needs to
preferentially process the CSFB procedure upon the conflict. Select the
CsfbFlowFirstSwitch option of the GlobalProcSwitch.HoProcCtrlSwitch parameter so that
the eNodeB preferentially processes the CSFB procedure during handover preparation. If the
eNodeB receives the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the CS
Fallback Indicator IE before handover indication is transmitted over the air interface, the
eNodeB sends the HANDOVER CANCEL message to the MME to cancel the handover
procedure and prioritize the CSFB procedure.
NOTE
When the CSFB procedure conflicts with the inter-eNodeB reestablishment with no context, the eNodeB
preferentially processes the reestablishment procedure.

CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description 7 Network Impact
7 Network Impact
7.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS FallBack to UTRAN

System Capacity
In essence, CSFB provides CS service access for E-UTRAN UEs. Considering that the
number of UEs that request CS services within an area is relatively stable and is not affected
by EPS deployment, CSFB has no impact on the total number of UEs that request CS services
within a network.
Load-based CSFB to UTRAN prevents PS handover preparation failure caused by UTRAN
cell congestion, because the eNodeB selects a target cell based on the UTRAN cell load
status. This increases system capacity.
CSFB mechanisms affect signaling overhead as follows:
l If redirection is used as the CSFB mechanism, no extra signaling message is required for
the UTRAN because each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS
service. The EPS does not need to interact with the target network. Therefore, signaling
overhead is negligible.
l If PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism, extra signaling messages are required
from each NE for the request, preparation, and execution of each handover. However,
from the perspective of traffic statistics, the number of UEs that initiate CS services per
second per cell during peak hours is far below cell capacity. Therefore, signaling
overhead caused by PS handovers is low.
Network Performance
Load-based CSFB to UTRAN prevents PS handover preparation failure caused by UTRAN
cell congestion, because the eNodeB selects a target cell based on the UTRAN cell load
status. This increases the CSFB delay.
CSFB affects the access success rate as follows:
l CSFB affects the access success rate as follows: If redirection is used as the CSFB
mechanism, each CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service.
Therefore, the access success rate for CSFB UEs is theoretically the same as that for
normal CS UEs in the UTRAN.

eRAN TDD
l If PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism, the access success rate for CSFB UEs
depends on the success rate of handovers to the target RAT. Handover-triggered CS
service access has a higher requirement for signal quality compared with 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.
7.2 TDLOFD-001052 Flash CS Fallback to UTRAN

System Capacity
within a network.
l Extra signaling messages are required only during eNodeB deployment. Afterward,
signaling overhead is negligible because of infrequent system information updates.
Network Performance
Flash CSFB to UTRAN decreases the CSFB delay by up to 1.28s because UEs obtain
information about the target UTRAN cell for redirection before RRC connections to the LTE
network are released.
Flash CSFB affects the access success rate as follows:
l Each flash CSFB procedure is equivalent to the initiation of a new CS service. 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 updates frequently.
The RNC cannot update the uplink interference information in the system information
sent to the LTE network based on SIB7 in the UTRAN. Therefore, the uplink
interference information contained in SIB7 in the LTE network is a default value (105
dBm). If the actual uplink interference in the UTRAN is greater than 105 dBm, the
transmit power on UEs' physical random access channel (PRACH) increases and the
RRC connection setup success rate may decrease.
7.3 TDLOFD-081223 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN

7.4 TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
CSFB with LAI ensures that a UE can fall back to the CS network to which the UE has
attached. This prevents CSFB failure or long delay caused by incorrect target RAT selection
and increases the CSFB success rate.
7.5 TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
Using this feature, an operator that owns inter-RAT networks can specify the target RAT and
frequency for CSFB based on the network plan and network load balancing requirements and
thereby improve network operating efficiency.
If the frequency with the highest priority is inappropriately configured, for example, if the
highest-priority frequency has coverage holes, a UE may fail to measure this frequency and
therefore the CSFB delay increases.
This feature may conflict with the service-based directed retry decision (DRD) algorithm used
for UTRAN, thereby 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 transfer the UE
to an R99 frequency.
7.6 TDLOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS 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.

l If redirection or CCO without NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism, no extra signaling

Therefore, signaling overhead is negligible.
l If CCO with NACC is used as the CSFB mechanism, extra signaling messages are

l If PS handover is used as the CSFB mechanism, the access success rate for CSFB UEs
depends on the success rate of handovers to the target RAT. Handover-triggered CS
service access has a higher requirement for signal quality compared with normal CS

Flash CSFB to GERAN decreases the CSFB delay by up to 2s because UEs obtain

When DRX is used for measurements, there is a higher probability that the UE enters sleep

8 Engineering Guidelines
8.1 TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN

This section provides engineering guidelines for TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN.
8.1.1 When to Use CS Fallback to UTRAN

Use this feature in the initial phase of LTE network deployment when the following
conditions are met:
l The operator owns a mature UTRAN network.

l The LTE network does not provide VoLTE services, or UEs in the LTE network do not
support VoLTE services.
For policies on whether to use PS handover or PS redirection for CSFB, see Inter-RAT
Mobility Management in Connected Mode. If UTRAN and E-UTRAN cells cover the same
area, or the UTRAN cell provides better coverage than the E-UTRAN cell, use CSFB based
on blind handover to decrease the CSFB delay.
8.1.2 Required Information

1. Collect the operating frequencies, coverage areas, and configurations of the E-UTRAN

sites (such as latitude and longitude), TX power of cell reference signals, and neighbor
relationship configurations.
2. Collect the versions and configurations of the NEs in the E-UTRAN, UTRAN, and core
networks, and ensure that they all support CSFB. Table 8-1 describes the requirements
of CSFB to UTRAN for the core networks.
3. Collect the following information about the UEs that support UMTS and LTE on the live
network:
Supported frequency bands
Whether the UEs support redirection from E-UTRAN to UTRAN
Whether the UEs support PS handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN
Whether the UEs support UTRAN measurements

eRAN TDD
This information is used to configure neighboring UTRAN cells and to determine

whether to perform CSFB based on handover or redirection. For details, see Inter-RAT
Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
4. Collect information about the RNC, MME, and SGSN to check whether they all support
RIM procedures.

8.1.5 Data Preparation and Feature Activation
8.1.5.1 Data Preparation

This section describes the data that you need to collect for setting parameters. Required data is
data that you must collect for all scenarios. Collect scenario-specific data when necessary for
a specific feature deployment scenario.
There are three types of data sources:
l Network plan (negotiation not required): parameter values planned and set by the
operator
l Network plan (negotiation required): parameter values planned by the operator and
negotiated with the EPC or peer transmission equipment
l User-defined: parameter values set by users
Required Data
Before configuring CSFB to UTRAN, collect the data related to neighbor relationships with
UTRAN cells. This section provides only the information about managed objects (MOs)
related to neighboring UTRAN cells. For more information about how to collect data for the
parameters in these MOs, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature
Parameter Description. Collect data for the parameters in the following MOs:
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 neighboring relationship with a UTRAN cell. If a
neighboring UTRAN cell supports blind handovers according to the network plan, the
blind-handover priority of the cell must be specified by the
UtranNCell.BlindHoPriority parameter.

8.1.6 Activation Observation

Signaling Observation
The activation observation procedure for CSFB to UTRAN is as follows:
1. Enable a UE to camp on an E-UTRAN cell and 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 receive a voice call so that the UE falls
The activation observation procedure for load-based CSFB to UTRAN is as follows:

eRAN TDD
Two UTRAN cells A and B report MRs and are under overload control and in the normal
state, respectively. The RSCP of cell A is larger than that of cell B.
Enable a UE to perform a PS-handover-based CSFB when both cell A and cell B provide
services correctly.
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 or queuing.
Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2 show sample 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 is forced to fall back to the UTRAN
using a redirection.
NOTE
The same UE is shown in the left and right sides of the figure. This applies to all figures in the rest of
this document. The messages on the UTRAN side are only for reference.

eRAN TDD
Figure 8-1 Redirection-based CSFB to UTRAN for a mobile-originated call

eRAN TDD
Figure 8-2 Redirection-based CSFB to UTRAN for a mobile-terminated call
If the UE capability 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 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 but 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 8-3, 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 TDD
Figure 8-3 The RRC Connection Release message during CSFB to UTRAN
If PS handover is used for CSFB to UTRAN, the eNodeB initiates a PS handover procedure
after receiving a measurement report from the UE, instead of sending an RRC Connection
Release message to the UE. Figure 8-4 shows the PS handover procedure. As shown in the
red and green boxes in Figure 8-5, in the handover command sent over the air interface, the
cs-FallbackIndicator IE is TRUE and the target RAT is UTRAN.

MML Command Observation

The activation observation procedure for load-based CSFB to UTRAN is as follows: Run the

check whether load-based CSFB has been activated.
If the neighboring UTRAN cell load status is displayed, load-based CSFB has been activated.

8.1.8 Performance Monitoring

CSFB is an end-to-end service. The performance counters on the LTE side can only indicate
the success rate of the CSFB procedure on the LTE side, and. they cannot indicate the success
rate of the CSFB procedure on the target side. Therefore, the performance counters on the
LTE side cannot directly show user experience of the CSFB procedure. It is recommended
that you perform drive tests and use the performance counters on the UE side to indicate the
actual user experience of the CSFB procedure.
Table 8-5 lists counters related to the execution of CSFB by the eNodeB.

Blind Handover for CSFB

Compared with measurement-based handovers, blind handovers reduce access delays but
affect handover success rates.

Measurement-based Handovers for CSFB

An appropriate event B1 threshold for CSFB ensures that inter-RAT handovers are triggered
in a timely fashion. A high threshold results in a low probability of triggering event B1,
thereby affecting user experience. A low threshold results in a high probability of triggering
event B1, but causes a high probability of incorrect handover decisions and a low handover
success rate. Tune this parameter based on site conditions.
Event B1 for CSFB has a time-to-trigger parameter. This parameter lowers the probability of
incorrect handover decisions and raises the handover success rate. However, if the value of
this parameter is too large, CSFB delay is extended, affecting user experience. Tune this
parameter based on site conditions.
Appropriate settings of the threshold and time-to-trigger for event B1 raise the handover
success rate and lower the call drop rate. The following table describes the parameters that
must be set in the CSFallBackHo MO.

8.2 RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to UTRAN
8.2.1 When to Use RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to UTRAN

It is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the Huawei-proprietary
eCoordinator when the following conditions are met:
l Both the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are provided by Huawei and are connected to the
same eCoordinator.
l The core network that the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are connected to does not support
the RIM procedure or is not enabled with the RIM procedure.
To perform the RIM procedure through the eCoordinator, set

ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to ON(On).
In other conditions, it is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the core
network. In this case, set ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to OFF(Off).
If load-based CSFB to UTRAN is used, you need to obtain load information about UTRAN
cells through the RIM procedures. If flash CSFB to UTRAN is used, you need to obtain
system information about UTRAN cells through the RIM procedures.

Check whether the RNC, MME, and SGSN support the RIM procedure, and whether an
eCoordinator has been deployed.
8.2.3 Requirements
If the RIM procedure is performed through the core network, the core-network equipment
must support this feature:
If the RIM procedure is performed through the eCoordinator, the RNC/BSC, eNodeB, and
eCoordinator must all be provided by Huawei and with the switch for supporting the RIM
procedure through eCoordinator turned on.
To facilitate connection setup for RIM message exchange, you must enable RIM in the
UTRAN before you enable it in the E-UTRAN.

If the RIM procedure is performed through the core network, trace signaling messages as
follows:
Step 1 Start an S1 interface tracing task on the eNodeB LMT.
Check whether the ENB DIRECT INFORMATION TRANSFER message containing the
RAN-INFORMATION-REQUEST IE is sent over the S1 interface. If the message is sent, you
can infer that the eNodeB has sent the RIM request successfully.
Step 2 Start an Iu interface tracing task on the RNC LMT.
If after receiving the DIRECT INFORMATION TRANSFER message containing the RAN-
INFORMATION-REQUEST IE, the RNC sends the DIRECT INFORMATION TRANSFER
message containing the RAN-INFORMATION IE to the SGSN, you can infer that the RNC
can response to the RIM request normally.
Step 3 Change the state of the UTRAN cell.
If the RNC sends the DIRECT INFORMATION TRANSFER message containing the RAN-
INFORMATION IE over the Iu interface, you can infer that the RNC can notify the eNodeB
with the cell state change through the RIM procedure.

This section provides engineering guidelines for TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to
UTRAN.
8.5.1 When to Use CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN

Use this feature when the following conditions are met:
l The E-UTRAN cell has neighboring UTRAN cells that belong to different PLMNs and
supports inter-PLMN handovers, or the E-UTRAN cell has neighboring UTRAN cells
that have different location area codes (LACs).
If both TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN and TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to
GERAN have been enabled, you are advised to enable both TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback
with LAI to UTRAN and TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback with LAI to GERAN.

CSFB with LAI to UTRAN is automatically activated when two conditions are met: The
license for this feature has been purchased. CSFB to UTRAN has been activated.

Data preparation for activating CSFB with LAI to UTRAN is the same as that for activating
CSFB to UTRAN. For details, see 8.1.5.1 Data Preparation.


For details, see 8.1.5.3 Using MML Commands.

The activation observation procedure is as follows:
1. Configure two neighboring UTRAN cells with different LAIs for an E-UTRAN cell, and
enable the MME to include only one of the two LAIs in the instructions that will be
delivered to the eNodeB.

4. Enable the UE to camp on the E-UTRAN cell and receive a voice call so that the UE
falls back to the UTRAN cell with the specified LAI and completes the call.
You can observe the signaling procedure for CSFB with LAI to UTRAN, which is
similar to that for CSFB to UTRAN described in 8.1.6 Activation Observation. The
difference is that the Initial Context Setup Request or UE Context Mod Request message
carries the LAI that the MME delivers to the eNodeB, as shown in the following figure:

l An operator owns multiple UTRAN frequencies or the operator has different handover
policies for CS-only services and combined CS+PS services.
If the operator owns both UTRAN and GERAN, you can also activate TDLOFD-001089 CS

3. Collect information about the frequencies and frequency policies of the UTRAN. The
frequency policies for UTRAN and E-UTRAN must be the same. For example, if F1 is
the preferred frequency for voice services on UTRAN, the same configuration is
recommended for E-UTRAN.
4. If LOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN is also to be activated, consider the
GERAN frequencies when making frequency policies.

The signaling procedure is the same as that for CSFB to UTRAN. After CS Fallback Steering
to UTRAN is used, check whether it works as expected.
The activation observation procedure for CSFB steering to UTRAN is as follows:
1. Check that the UE supports redirection-based CSFB and handover-based CSFB.

2. Set CSFB policies for RRC_IDLE UEs and RRC_CONNECTED UEs to redirection and
handover, respectively.
3. Enable the UE to initiate a voice call in idle mode and in connected mode.
4. Observe the counters L.CSFB.E2W, L.RRCRedirection.E2W.CSFB, and
L.IRATHO.E2W.CSFB.ExecAttOut. If the values of the counters increase by 2, 1, and
1, respectively, CSFB steering to UTRAN has been activated.
If TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN has also been activated, the activation
observation procedure is as follows:
1. Check that the UE supports CSFB to GERAN and CSFB to UTRAN.

2. Set GERAN as the highest-priority RAT for CSFB triggered for RRC_IDLE UEs and
UTRAN as the highest-priority RAT for CSFB triggered for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.
4. Observe the counters L.CSFB.E2W and L.CSFB.E2G. If both the values increase by 1,
both CSFB steering to UTRAN and CSFB steering to GERAN have been activated.

1. Verify that the UE supports CSFB and multiple UTRAN frequencies are available.
2. Enable measurement-based and blind handover for E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS
Steering. Set the highest PS service priority for UTRAN frequency F1 and the highest
CS service priority for UTRAN frequency F2.
3. Have the UE camp on an LTE cell and initiate a voice call in the cell. The expected result
is that the UE falls back to a UTRAN cell on F2.

Required Data
Before configuring CSFB to GERAN, collect the data related to neighbor relationships with
GERAN cells. This section provides only the information about MOs related to neighboring
GERAN cells. For more information about how to collect data for the parameters in these
MOs, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode.

3. GeranExternalCell: used to configure external GERAN cells. The
GeranExternalCell.Rac parameter must be set.
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.

You can observe the signaling procedures for CSFB to GERAN, which is similar to that for
CSFB to UTRAN described in section Figure 8-9.
NOTE
In the following figures, the UE on the left side and the UE on the right side are the same UE. The

Figure 8-9 Redirection-based CSFB to GERAN for a mobile-originated call
The signaling procedure for PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN is different from the
signaling procedure for redirection-based CSFB to GERAN. The difference is as follows: In
PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN, 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 signaling procedure of PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN,
see 8.1.6 Activation Observation. In the signaling procedure of PS handover-based CSFB to
GERAN, the CSFB indication flag is true and the CSFB target is GERAN in the
MobilityFromEUTRACommand message.
In the signaling procedure for PS handover-based CSFB to GERAN, the cs-FallbackIndicator
IE is TRUE and the CSFB target is GERAN in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message.
Figure 8-10 shows the signaling procedure for CCO/NACC-based CFSB to GERAN for a
mobile-originated call. In the CSFB, handover preparation is absent. The
MobilityFromEUTRACommand message carries the CCO/NACC information and the CSFB
target is GERAN.

CSFB is an end-to-end service. The performance counters on the LTE side can only indicate
the success rate of the CSFB procedure on the LTE side, and. they cannot indicate the success

the average number of handovers, and the number
of incorrect handovers, preventing unnecessary
handovers.
8.9 RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to GERAN
8.9.1 When to Use RIM Procedure from E-UTRAN to GERAN

It is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the Huawei-proprietary
eCoordinator when the following conditions are met:
l Both the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are provided by Huawei and are connected to the
same eCoordinator.
l The core network that the eNodeB and the RNC/BSC are connected to does not support
the RIM procedure or is not enabled with the RIM procedure.
To perform the RIM procedure through the eCoordinator, set
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to ON(On).

eRAN TDD
In other conditions, it is recommended that the RIM procedure be performed through the core
network. In this case, set ENodeBAlgoSwitch.RimOnEcoSwitch to OFF(Off).

Check whether the BSC, MME, and SGSN support the RIM procedure, and whether an
eCoordinator has been deployed.
8.9.3 Requirements
If the RIM procedure is performed through the core network, the core-network equipment
must support this feature:
l The BSC, MME, and SGSN must support the RIM procedures. If one of the NEs does
not support, the RIM procedures fail.
NOTE
In a multioperator core network (MOCN) scenario, the eNodeB preferentially selects the link for
the primary operator when sending an RIM request. If the RIM procedure fails, the eNodeB no
longer attempts to send the RIM request on other links.
If the RIM procedure is performed through the eCoordinator, the RNC/BSC, eNodeB, and
eCoordinator must all be provided by Huawei and with the switch for supporting the RIM
procedures through eCoordinator turned on.

follows:
Step 1 Start an S1 interface tracing task on the eNodeB LMT.
RAN-INFORMATION-REQUEST IE is sent over the S1 interface. If the message is sent, you
Step 2 Start a Gb interface tracing task on the BSC LMT.
If after receiving the DIRECT INFORMATION TRANSFER message containing the RAN-

This section provides engineering guidelines for TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback with LAI to
GERAN.
8.12.1 When to Use CS Fallback with LAI to GERAN

Use TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback with LAI to GERAN when both of the following
conditions are met:
l TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN has been enabled.

l The E-UTRAN cell has neighboring GERAN cells that belong to different PLMNs and
supports inter-PLMN handovers, or the E-UTRAN cell has neighboring GERAN cells
that have different LACs.
If both TDLOFD-001033 CS Fallback to UTRAN and TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to

GERAN have been enabled, you are advised to enable both TDLOFD-001069 CS Fallback
with LAI to GERAN and TDLOFD-001068 CS Fallback with LAI to UTRAN.

This feature is automatically activated when two conditions are met: The license for this
feature has been purchased. CSFB to GERAN has been activated.

Data preparation for activating CSFB with LAI to GERAN is the same as that for activating
CSFB to GERAN. For details, see 8.1.5.1 Data Preparation.


For details, see 8.8.5.3 Using MML Commands.

1. Configure two neighboring GERAN cells with different LAIs for an E-UTRAN cell, and
enable the MME to include only one of the two LAIs in the instructions that will be
delivered to the eNodeB.
2. Ensure that the signal strengths of the two GERAN cells both reach the threshold for
event B1. You can query the threshold by running the LST
INTERRATHOGERANGROUP command.
3. Enable a UE to camp on the E-UTRAN cell and make a voice call.
4. Enable the UE to camp on the E-UTRAN cell and receive a voice call.
You can observe the signaling procedure for CSFB with LAI to GERAN, which is similar to
that for CSFB to GERAN described in 8.9.6 Activation Observation. The difference is that
the Initial Context Setup Request or UE Context Mod Request message carries the LAI that
the MME delivers to the eNodeB, as shown in the following figure:

8.13 TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to GERAN

This section provides engineering guidelines for TDLOFD-001089 CS Fallback Steering to
GERAN.
8.13.1 When to Use CS Fallback Steering to GERAN

Use this feature to improve the network efficiency when the following conditions are met:
l TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN has been enabled.
l An operator owns multiple GERAN frequencies and the operator has different handover
policies for CS-only services and combined CS+PS services.
If the operator owns both UTRAN and GERAN, you can also activate TDLOFD-001088 CS
Fallback Steering to UTRAN to improve the network efficiency.

1. Collect information about whether TDLOFD-001034 CS Fallback to GERAN has been
activated.
2. Collect the following information about the UEs that support GSM and LTE on the live
network:
Whether the UEs support CCO from E-UTRAN to GERAN
whether to perform CSFB based on handover, redirection, or CCO. For details, see Inter-
RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode Feature Parameter Description.
3. Collect information about the frequencies and frequency policies of the GERAN.
Frequency policies must be the same for GERAN and E-UTRAN.
4. If TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN is also to be activated, consider
the UTRAN frequencies when making frequency policies.

Using MML Commands

The configuration is just an example, and configurations on the live network can differ from
this example. For MML command settings in scenarios where the UTRAN and GERAN
cover the same area but only the GERAN provides contiguous coverage, see 8.6.5 Data
Preparation and Feature Activation.
The prerequisite is that CSFB to GERAN has been activated.
Step 1 Run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command with the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option
of the Handover Allowed Switch parameter selected.

eRAN TDD
NOTE
This feature is also controlled by the GeranCsfbSteeringSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter

Step 2 Run the MOD CSFALLBACKBLINDHOCFG command with the Highest priority
InterRat, Second priority InterRat, CSFB Highest priority InterRat for Idle UE, and
CSFB Second priority InterRat for Idle UE parameters to UTRAN, GERAN, GERAN,
and UTRAN, respectively.
Step 3 Run the MOD CSFALLBACKPOLICYCFG command with the PS_HO option of the
CSFB handover policy Configuration parameter and the REDIRECTION option of the
CSFB handover policy Configuration for idle ue parameter selected.

The signaling procedure is the same as that for CSFB to GERAN. After CS Fallback Steering
to GERAN is used, check whether it works as expected.
The activation observation procedure for CSFB steering to GERAN is as follows:
1. Check that the UE supports redirection-based CSFB and handover-based CSFB.
2. Set CSFB policies for RRC_IDLE UEs and RRC_CONNECTED UEs to redirection and
handover, respectively.
4. Observe the counters L.CSFB.E2G, L.RRCRedirection.E2G.CSFB, and
L.IRATHO.E2G.CSFB.ExecAttOut. If the values of the counters increase by 2, 1, and 1,
respectively, CSFB steering to GERAN has been activated.
If TDLOFD-001088 CS Fallback Steering to UTRAN has also been activated, the activation
observation procedure is as follows:
1. Check that the UE supports CSFB to GERAN and CSFB to UTRAN.
2. Set GERAN as the highest-priority RAT for CSFB triggered for RRC_IDLE UEs and
UTRAN as the highest-priority RAT for CSFB triggered for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.
4. Observe the counters L.CSFB.E2W and L.CSFB.E2G. If both the values increase by 1,
both CSFB steering to UTRAN and CSFB steering to GERAN have been activated.

8.14 Troubleshooting
8.14.1 CSFB Calling Procedure Failure

Fault Description
A UE performs cell reselection to an inter-RAT neighboring cell directly after initiating a
voice call in an E-UTRAN cell, and the S1 interface tracing result shows that CSFB is not
triggered.
Fault Handling
Step 1 Create an S1 interface tracing task, use the UE to camp on the E-UTRAN cell again, and
check whether the value of the information element (IE) ePS-attach-type-value is "combined-
attach" in the traced Attach Request message.

eRAN TDD
l If so, go to Step 2.
l If not, replace the UE with one that supports combined EPS/IMSI attach, and try again.
Step 2 Check whether the traced Attach Accept message includes the IE cs-domain-not-available.
l If it does, go to Step 3.
l If not, contact Huawei technical support.
Step 3 Contact the vendors of core network NEs to ensure the following:
l Attach procedures to the CS domain are allowed according to the subscription data on
the HSS.
l The core network supports CSFB.
l The SGs interface is correctly configured.
----End
8.14.2 eNodeB Receiving No Measurement Report
Fault Description
An eNodeB delivers an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message for measurement control
to a UE that has initiated a voice call in the LTE network, but the eNodeB does not receive a
measurement report.
Fault Handling
Step 1 Check whether the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message contains B1-related
measurement configurations and whether the information about the inter-RAT systems in the
configuration is correct.
l If it is, go to Step 2
l If not, rectify the faults and try again.
Step 2 Check whether the coverage of the inter-RAT neighboring cell is satisfactory. If the coverage
is unsatisfactory, adjust B1-related parameters or use CSFB based on blind handovers.
For details about how to adjust B1-related parameters, see Inter-RAT Mobility Management in
Connected Mode.
----End
8.14.3 CSFB Blind Handover Failure
Fault Description
Even when blind handovers are configured as the preferred choice according to the operator
policies, instead of triggering a blind handover for CSFB, an eNodeB delivers an inter-RAT
measurement configuration to a UE that has initiated a voice call.
Fault Handling
Step 1 Run the LST ENODEBALGOSWITCH command and check the setting of BlindHoSwitch
under the Handover Mode Switch parameter. If BlindHoSwitch is Off, run the MOD

eRAN TDD
ENODEBALGOSWITCH command with the BlindHoSwitch(BlindHoSwitch) check box

under the Handover Mode Switch parameter selected.
Step 2 Run the LST CELLHOPARACFG command and check the setting of BlindHoSwitch
under the Handover Mode Switch parameter. If BlindHoSwitch is Off, run the MOD
CELLHOPARACFG command with the BlindHoSwitch(BlindHoSwitch) check box under
the Handover Mode Switch parameter selected. In addition, check the CSFB mechanism and
perform the following:
l If CSFB to UTRAN is required, go to Step 3.
l If CSFB to GERAN is required, go to Step 4.
Step 3 Run the LST UTRANNCELL command and check whether Blind handover priority is 0
for a neighboring UTRAN cell that is supposed to accept incoming blind handovers.
l If Blind handover priority is 0, blind handovers to this cell are not allowed. In this
case, run the MOD UTRANNCELL command with the Blind handover priority
parameter set to a value other than 0.
l If Blind handover priority is not 0, contact Huawei technical support.
Step 4 Run the LST GERANNCELL command and check whether Blind handover priority is 0
for a neighboring GERAN cell that is supposed to accept incoming blind handovers.
l If Blind handover priority is 0, blind handovers to this cell are not allowed. In this
case, run the MOD GERANNCELL command with the Blind handover priority
parameter set to a value other than 0.
l If Blind handover priority is not 0, contact Huawei technical support.

01020/ and during RRC connection reestablishment. The option
TDLOF GERAN will not take effect on the interaction of RRC
D-00102 connection reestablishment and other signaling
0 procedures.
RrcRecfgMcOptSwitch: If this option is selected, the
cell measurement configurations with the CIO of 0

included in the measurement configurations delivered
to UEs.
IdleCsfbRedirectOptSwitch: If this option is selected
and the preferred CSFB policy for UEs in idle mode is
redirection, the eNodeB no longer activates security
mode or performs RRC connection reconfiguration,
but sends a redirection message.
UlNasBufferSwitch: If this option is selected, the
eNodeB buffers uplink NAS messages sent by the UE
before the UE-associated logical S1 connection is
available and sends these messages after the UE-
associated logical S1 connection is available. If this
option is deselected, the eNodeB releases this UE after
the procedures finish.

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.
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.
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 handover based on the SRVCCOperationPossi-
ble IE that the MME sends to the eNodeB.
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
includes them in the handover request messages or
RIM request messages. If this option is deselected, the
optimization is not activated.
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.

CSFallB CsfbHo MOD LOFD-0 CS Fall Meaning: Indicates the time-to-trigger for event B1
ackHo GeranTi CSFAL 01034 / Back to that is used in CS fallback to GERAN. When CS
meToTri LBACK TDLOF GERAN fallback to GERAN is applicable, this parameter is set
g HO D-00103 for UEs and used in the evaluation of whether to
LST 4 trigger event B1. When detecting that the signal
CSFAL quality in at least one GERAN cell meets the entering
LBACK condition, the UE does not send a measurement report
HO 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 to prevent unnecessary
handovers. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.

13.1 Signaling Procedures Involved in CSFB to UTRAN
13.1.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure

The combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is performed by exchanging 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 13-1.
Figure 13-1 Combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure
HSS: home subscriber server VLR: visitor location register

eRAN TDD
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.
l A plain box denotes a mandatory procedure.
l A dashed box denotes an optional procedure.
The combined EPS/IMSI attach procedure is described as follows:

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.
13.1.2 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.
Mobile-Originated Call
Figure 13-2 shows the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-
originated calls.

eRAN TDD
Figure 13-2 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 feature, 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 the preparation phase for a PS handover. 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 3.5 Decision and 3.6
Execution.
5. After the handover, the UE may initiate a CS call establishment procedure 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. This step is performed together with 5.
Mobile-Terminated Call
Figure 13-3 shows the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on PS handover for mobile-
terminated calls.

eRAN TDD
Figure 13-3 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.
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 from the UTRAN cell.
13.1.3 CSFB Based on Redirection

During CSFB based on PS 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 13-4 shows the procedure for CSFB to UTRAN based on redirection for mobile-
originated calls.

eNodeB.
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 UE context release procedure.
NOTE
Execution.
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 UTRAN described in 13.1.2 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 TDD
13.1.4 Flash CSFB

During the flash CSFB procedure, 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, as well as one or more physical cell identities
and their associated system information. In this way, the UE can quickly access the target
UTRAN without the need to perform the procedure for acquiring system information of the
target UTRAN cell. Then, the UE can directly initiate a CS service in the UTRAN cell.

originated calls.

13.1.5 Ultra-Flash CSFB to UTRAN

Figure 13-6 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 TDD

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 TDD
Figure 13-7 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. Special treatment has been
applied to the MME and MSC to ensure a proper procedure.
Step 3b: The RNC 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 UTRAN.
Steps 6 to 9: 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 SRVCC. Therefore, the ciphering
procedure is not required after the UE is transferred to the UTRAN.

eRAN TDD
l IMEI check procedure

The MME has sent the IMEI to the MSC during the preparation for SRVCC. 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.
13.1.6 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, security mode activation, or
RRC connection reconfiguration procedure with dashed lines in the following figure. If the
eNodeB does not obtain the UE capability before CSFB execution, the eNodeB still needs to
initiate a UE capability query procedure.
Figure 13-8 Redirection-based CSFB optimization for UEs in idle mode
13.1.7 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 TDD
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.
13.1.8 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.
13.1.9 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.
13.2 Signaling Procedures Involved in CSFB to GERAN
13.2.1 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 13.1.1 Combined EPS/IMSI Attach Procedure.

eRAN TDD
13.2.2 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.
Figure 13-9 shows the procedure for CSFB to GERAN based on PS handover for mobile-
originated calls.
Figure 13-9 CSFB to GERAN based on PS handover for mobile-originated calls
The procedure is described as follows:
1. The UE sends the MME a NAS message Extended service request to initiate a CS
service.
2. The MME instructs the eNodeB to initiate a CSFB procedure. If the MME supports the
LAI-related feature, the MME also delivers the LAI to the eNodeB.
3. The eNodeB determines whether to perform blind handover based on the UE
4. The eNodeB initiates the preparation phase for a PS handover. 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, and the SGSN
update bearers with the S-GW/P-GW.

data forwarding, path switching, and RAU, which are performed together with step 5.
CSFB to GERAN based on PS handover for mobile-originated calls.
13.2.3 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.
Figure 13-10 shows the procedure for CSFB to GERAN based on CCO/NACC for mobile-
originated calls.

Because flash CSFB complies with 3GPP Release 9, the networks and UEs involved must
support 3GPP Release 9 or later.

13.2.6 Ultra-Flash CSFB to GERAN

Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN is a Huawei-proprietary procedure. To enable this feature, the
MSC, MME, and eNodeB must all be provided by Huawei and support this feature.
Resources are prepared in advance on the GERAN using the SRVCC procedure, and
authentication and ciphering procedures are excluded to reduce delays. The following figures
show ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN of mobile-originated calls and mobile-terminated calls,
respectively.
Figure 13-13 Ultra-flash CSFB to GERAN for mobile-originated calls

eRAN TDD
Figure 13-14 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. Special treatment has been
applied to the MME and MSC to ensure a proper 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
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 transferred to the GERAN.

eRAN TDD
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 system has prepared CS resources during SRVCC and therefore the UE does
not need to reestablish the CS resource after SRVCC. There, the procedure is not
required in the GERAN after SRVCC.
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. To achieve this, the
Channel Release message must contain E-UTRA frequency information, based on which the
UE selects a suitable E-UTRAN cell to camp on.
When IratMeasCfgTransSwitch is set on, the eNodeB filters E-UTRA frequencies
supported by the UE based on the UE capability 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.
When DrxForMeasSwitch is set to ON, the eNodeB supports specific DRX parameters for
measurements during the delivery of measurement configurations about GERAN.
Measurements are accelerated for UEs that support DRX-based measurements. Other UEs
still use the gap-assisted measurement method.
13.2.7 Signaling Procedures for SMS

SMS services are unknown to the eNodeB because SMS messages are encapsulated in NAS
messages. During interworking with the GERAN, 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.
13.2.8 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.
13.2.9 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

eRAN TDD
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 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 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
and LCS.
