6.1 AMR handover from WCDMA to GSM

Objective
Check whether UE can perform Inter-System CS service handover from WCDMA to GSM

Prerequisites
The GSM and WCDMA system are both configured correctly and operate normally.
A WCDMA Cell 1 and a GSM Cell 2 are configured as adjacent cell
PSTN is well connected and also runs normally.
UE is a dual-mode phone which can support both GSM and WCDMA network. UE camp on 3G network in
Cell 1.
Tracing Uu and Iu Interface in RNC and tracing Iu Interface in MSC.
In 3G MSC Server, tracing user interface by IMSI or tracing links to 2G network in MSC Server

Procedure

Establish a UE-PSTN voice call successfully

The duration of one call is set 45s

The interval time between two calls is set 45s

When the UE handover from 3G to 2G and end in 2G ,the 2G network will force the UE reselect from 2G
to 3G
