2 Overview
In the early phase of E-UTRAN deployment, when UEs running voice services move out of
an E-UTRAN network, the voice services can continue by means of the following solutions.
l UEs running VoIP services can be handed over to the UTRAN or GERAN using PS
handover. This requires support from the UTRAN or GERAN and UEs.
l UEs running VoIP services can be handed over to the UTRAN or GERAN using
SRVCC, which converts the VoIP services into circuit service (CS) services.
This document describes SRVCC. SRVCC is a means of inter-RAT handover. For details, see
section 4.1.2 "Architectural Principles for 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN SRVCC and vSRVCC" in
3GPP TS 23.216 V11.1.0.
2.1 Introduction
SRVCC enables VoIP services to be carried in the CS domain, ensuring voice service
continuity.
NOTE
The SRVCC in the pre-alerting phase is called bSRVCC. For details, see section 12.2.3B.3.3 in 3GPP TS
24.237 V12.8.0.
The SRVCC in the alerting phase is called aSRVCC. For details, see section A.17 in 3GPP TS 24.237
V12.8.0.
This document focuses on eNodeB functions, which are the same for bSRVCC, aSRVCC, and SRVCC.
2.2 Benefits
Before E-UTRANs are fully deployed across an operator's coverage areas, SRVCC is used to
ensure voice service continuity.
2.3 Architecture
2.3.1 SRVCC
The SRVCC process consists of two parts. Figure 2-1 shows the network architecture for
SRVCC.
To support SRVCC, the Sv interface is introduced between the MSC server and MME. The
MSC server is used for signaling interaction for SRVCC handovers. The overall SRVCC
procedure is as follows:
1. The MME informs the MSC server through the Sv interface that a VoIP service initiated
by the local UE is to be handed over to the CS domain.
2. The MSC server instructs the UTRAN or GERAN to prepare for the handover.
3. The MSC server requests that the media gateway (MGW) provide the new media-plane
information, including the IP address and port number. After the request, the MSC server
notifies the service centralization and continuity application server (SCC AS) that the
media stream is to be changed. The SCC AS is a control point for the IMS session
transfer.
4. The SCC AS notifies the peer UE of the new media-plane information. The peer UE
establishes a new media stream to the MGW and releases the original media stream.
5. When the peer UE makes VoIP voice calls, the MGW needs to convert the media stream
to achieve interworking between the CS voice stream and VoIP voice stream. The
conversion occurs in protocol stacks and voice coding.
Table 2-1 lists the elements of the network architecture in Figure 2-1.
Element Function
E-UTRAN Sends an SRVCC indication to the MME and notifies the MME of whether
the target cell supports SRVCC and concurrent CS and PS handovers. The
SRVCC procedure in the E-UTRAN is similar to a PS handover procedure.
MME l Provides the bearer splitting function to separate the voice bearer from
non-voice bearers. The MME initiates a CS handover procedure for the
voice bearer towards the MSC and initiates a PS handover procedure for
the non-voice bearers towards the SGSN.
l Initiates an SRVCC procedure over the Sv interface for an emergency
call and includes an emergency indication in the transmitted message.
l Selects the MSC server that supports SRVCC based on the working
process of the domain name server (DNS) or local configuration.
P-CSCF Acts as the first contact point for UEs in the IMS and provides the proxy
function by accepting and forwarding service requests. The P-CSCF also
provides the user agent (UA) function by terminating and independently
creating Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) sessions when exceptions occur.
Element Function
S-CSCF Acts as the control center of the IMS, implements UE registration and
authentication and session control, and provides basic session routing for
calling and called parties on the IMS. In addition, the S-CSCF routes value-
added services to the application server (AS) and performs service control
interactions according to the IMS rules to which users are subscribed.
I-CSCF Assigns S-CSCFs to UEs, supports route query, and forwards SIP requests
to another IMS domain.
MGCF Enables interworking between the IMS control plane and the legacy CS
network.
SCC AS Ensures the centralization and continuity of VoIP services on the E-UTRAN
network.
2.3.2 eSRVCC
Although the signaling-plane handover of SRVCC can be completed within 300 ms, the
session transfer of SRVCC cannot meet the requirement. As a result, the service interruption
time for SRVCC to UTRAN or GERAN cannot meet the requirement, that is, be less than 300
ms. For details about this requirement, see section 8.4 "Co-existence and interworking with
3GPP RAT" in 3GPP TS 25.913 V8.0.0. To shorten the service interruption time, 3GPP
Release 10 proposes eSRVCC.
eSRVCC focuses on reducing the time for session transfer because session transfer prolongs
the service interruption time for SRVCC, especially when the calling and called parties are
being served by different networks or when the calling and called parties are roaming.
eSRVCC is implemented by adding the ATCF or ATGW functional entity between the P-
CSCF and I-CSCF or S-CSCF. Figure 2-2 shows the network architecture for eSRVCC.
l Access Transfer Control Function (ATCF)
The ATCF acts as an anchor point for the signaling plane before and after handovers. To
reduce delay, the ATCF must be deployed on the serving network. (The visited network
is the serving network for roaming UEs.) In this manner, the MSC server can be located
close to the ATCF to shorten the time for signaling routing from the MSC server to the
ATCF in roaming scenarios.
l Access Transfer Gateway (ATGW)
The ATGW acts as a media-plane anchor point for VoIP services before and after
handovers. The media plane of the VoIP service is anchored to the ATGW. When an
SRVCC procedure is initiated for a UE, the media-plane information is updated only on
the ATGW, but not on the peer UE, to shorten the handover duration. This avoids
incurring the media-plane interruption period.
For a UE running a voice service that may require SRVCC later, the media plane of the
service is anchored to the ATGW. When an SRVCC procedure is initiated for this UE, the
media-plane information is updated only on the ATGW, but not on the peer UE, to shorten the
handover duration.
NOTE
This document focuses on eNodeB functions, which are the same for SRVCC and eSRVCC. Therefore,
the following sections do not distinguish between SRVCC and eSRVCC. On live networks, eSRVCC is
used.
3 Principles
3.1 Triggering
Common Causes
Several factors may trigger SRVCC. For detailed triggering, see the documents listed in Table
3-1.
NOTE
LCS-based SRVCC is used when a UE triggers LCS in an E-UTRAN network that supports
VoIP services but does not support LCS. When the UE triggers LCS, the MME delivers a CS
Fallback Indicator to the eNodeB. The eNodeB performs SRVCC to hand the UE over to the
CS domain for LCS while ensuring voice service continuity.
The target cell signal requirements for LCS-based SRVCC are the same as those for CSFB to
UTRAN or GERAN. For details about the requirements, see CS Fallback Feature Parameter
Description.
This feature is also controlled by the UtranSrvccSteeringSwitch 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.
This feature can be used when the UTRAN is a multi-frequency network and CS and PS
steering is used for these frequencies. In this scenario, SRVCC considers the CS service
priorities of the frequencies, and the operator can achieve SRVCC from E-UTRAN to a
specific UTRAN frequency carrying SRVCC services. With this feature, fewer UTRAN
frequencies are measured, which reduces the measurement time and the probability of UE
errors.
This feature is an enhancement of LOFD-001022 SRVCC to UTRAN and requires that
LOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering be activated. LOFD-001087 SRVCC
LOFD-001087 SRVCC Flexible Steering to UTRAN uses the SRVCC priorities specified by
UtranNFreq.SRVCCPriority in the measurement phase. The procedure for selecting
measurement objects is the same as that for CS/PS service steering. For details about the
procedure, see CS Fallback.
Table 3-2 describes measurement frequency selection for different services based on the
status of this feature and LOFD-001078 E-UTRAN to UTRAN CS/PS Steering.
3.3 Execution
If SRVCC to UTRAN and SRVCC to GERAN are supported on the network, the eNodeB
delivers measurement configurations, instructing the UEs to measure neighboring UTRAN
and GERAN cells. Cells in the first valid measurement report are selected as target cells for
SRVCC.
1. VoIP PS handover
2. CS+PS SRVCC
3. CS-only SRVCC
If requirements of the preceding three handovers are not met, no handover is performed.
NOTE
The redirection handover cannot be configured for QCI 1 VoIP services. Otherwise, call drops occur.
The redirection handover is controlled by the REDIRECTION option of the
InterRatPolicyCfgGroup.UtranHoCfg parameter.
Figure 3-1 Policy selection process for the handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN
VoIP PS handover
The VoIP PS handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN is controlled by the
UtranVoipCapSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch parameter.
If some operators or RNCs on the network do not support VoIP handover, you can configure
the support capabilities of operators or RNCs as follows:
l Enable LOFD-070216 Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN, which is
specified by the UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter.
l Configure the VoIP capabilities of operators or RNCs, which are specified by the
VoipCapCfg option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc, UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId, and UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg
parameters. VoIP is supported by an operator or RNC by default if VoIP is not
configured.
This function is also controlled by the UtranPsHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.
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 some operators or RNCs on the network do not support PS handover, you can configure the
support capabilities of operators or RNCs as follows:
l Enable LOFD-070216 Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN, which is
specified by the UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter.
l Configure PS handover of operators or RNCs, which is specified by the PsHoCapCfg
option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc, UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId, and UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg
parameters. PS handover is supported by an operator or RNC by default if PS handover
is not configured.
NOTE
CS+PS SRVCC
To trigger CS+PS SRVCC, you must perform the following operations:
l Enable SRVCC from E-UTRAN to UTRAN, which is controlled by the
UtranSrvccSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch.
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the UtranSrvccSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.
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 some operators or RNCs on the network do not support SRVCC, you can configure the
support capabilities of operators or RNCs as follows:
– Enable LOFD-070216 Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN,
which is specified by the UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter.
– Configure SRVCC of operators or RNCs, which is specified by the SrvccCapCfg
option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc, UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId, and UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg
parameters. SRVCC is supported by an operator or RNC by default if SRVCC is not
configured.
l Enable PS handover from E-UTRAN to UTRAN, which is controlled by the
UtranPsHoSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch.
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the UtranPsHoSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.
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 some operators or RNCs on the network do not support PS handover, you can
configure the support capabilities of operators or RNCs as follows:
– Enable LOFD-070216 Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN,
which is specified by the UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter.
– Configure PS handover of operators or RNCs, which is specified by the
PsHoCapCfg option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc, UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId, and
UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg parameters. PS handover is supported by
an operator or RNC by default if PS handover is not configured.
l Select the SRVCC and PS_HO options of the InterRatPolicyCfgGroup.UtranHoCfg
parameter. Set the QciPara.InterRatPolicyCfgGroupId parameter to configure the
handover policy for the corresponding QCI.
If services with different QCIs exist, the handover policy for the highest-priority QCI
prevails. The handover policy priority of each QCI is controlled by the
CellQciPara.QciPriorityForHo parameter. You are advised to set the handover policy
priority of QCI 1 to 1 (highest) and that of QCI 5 to 9 (lowest).
NOTE
l For mandatory handovers, for example, coverage-based and UL-quality-based handovers, SRVCC
can be triggered when SRVCC is configured in the inter-RAT handover policy groups for the
highest-priority QCI.
l For optional handovers, for example, load-based, service-based, and CSFB-based handovers,
SRVCC can be triggered when SRVCC is configured in the inter-RAT handover policy groups for all
QCIs.
l If the GlobalProcSwitch.QciParaEffectFlag parameter is set to OFF, parameter settings of the
StandardQci, ExtendedQci, and CellStandardQCI MOs prevail. If this parameter is set to ON,
parameter settings of the QciPara and CellQciPara MOs prevail.
l The StandardQci, ExtendedQci, and CellStandardQCI MOs will no longer be used in later
versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the QciPara and CellQciPara MOs.
l Enable UTRAN cell CS and PS handover indication, which is controlled by the
UtranExternalCell.CsPsHOInd parameter. If this parameter is set to
BOOLEAN_FALSE(False), the external UTRAN cell does not support SRVCC for
concurrent CS and PS services. If this parameter is set to BOOLEAN_TRUE(True), the
external UTRAN cell supports SRVCC for concurrent CS and PS services.
For macro and LampSite eNodeBs, when triggering SRVCC for CS+PS services, the
eNodeB decides whether to check CS and PS handover indication of the external
UTRAN cell based on the CnOperatorHoCfg.SrvccWithPsBasedCellCapSw parameter.
– When this parameter is set to ON, the eNodeB does not check the CsPsHOInd
parameter of external UTRAN cells.
– When this parameter is set to OFF, the eNodeB checks the CsPsHOInd parameter
of external UTRAN cells.
For micro eNodeBs, when triggering SRVCC for CS and PS services, the eNodeB does
not support the CnOperatorHoCfg.SrvccWithPsBasedCellCapSw parameter and
checks CS and PS handover indication of the external UTRAN cell directly.
CS-only SRVCC
To trigger CS-only SRVCC, you must perform the following operations:
l Enable SRVCC from E-UTRAN to UTRAN, which is controlled by the
UtranSrvccSwitch option of the cell-level parameter CellHoParaCfg.HoModeSwitch.
NOTE
This function is also controlled by the UtranSrvccSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.
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 some operators or RNCs on the network do not support SRVCC, you can configure the
support capabilities of operators or RNCs as follows:
– Enable LOFD-070216 Separate Mobility Policies to UTRAN for Multi PLMN,
which is specified by the UtranSepOpMobilitySwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.MultiOpCtrlSwitch parameter.
– Configure SRVCC of operators or RNCs, which is specified by the SrvccCapCfg
option of the UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mcc, UtranNetworkCapCfg.Mnc,
UtranNetworkCapCfg.RncId, and UtranNetworkCapCfg.NetworkCapCfg
parameters. SRVCC is supported by an operator or RNC by default if SRVCC is not
configured.
l Select the SRVCC option of the InterRatPolicyCfgGroup.UtranHoCfg parameter. Set
the QciPara.InterRatPolicyCfgGroupId parameter to configure the handover policy for
the corresponding QCI.
If services with different QCIs exist, the handover policy for the highest-priority QCI
prevails. The handover policy priority of each QCI is controlled by the
CellQciPara.QciPriorityForHo parameter. You are advised to set the handover policy
priority of QCI 1 to 1 (highest) and that of QCI 5 to 9 (lowest).
NOTE
l For mandatory handovers, for example, coverage-based and UL-quality-based handovers, SRVCC
can be triggered when SRVCC is configured in the inter-RAT handover policy groups for the
highest-priority QCI.
l For optional handovers, for example, load-based, service-based, and CSFB-based handovers,
SRVCC can be triggered when SRVCC is configured in the inter-RAT handover policy groups for all
QCIs.
l If the GlobalProcSwitch.QciParaEffectFlag parameter is set to OFF, parameter settings of the
StandardQci, ExtendedQci, and CellStandardQCI MOs prevail. If this parameter is set to ON,
parameter settings of the QciPara and CellQciPara MOs prevail.
l The StandardQci, ExtendedQci, and CellStandardQCI MOs will no longer be used in later
versions. Therefore, you are advised to use the QciPara and CellQciPara MOs.
1. CS+PS SRVCC
2. CS-only SRVCC
If requirements of the preceding two handovers are not met, no handover is performed.
NOTE
If bearers with a QCI of 1 are used to carry VoIP services and the redirection handover for QCI 1 is
enabled, a call drop may occur during redirection. Therefore, the redirection handover cannot be
configured for QCI 1 VoIP services. The redirection handover is controlled by the REDIRECTION
option of the InterRatPolicyCfgGroup.GeranGprsEdgeHoCfg parameter.
Figure 3-2 Policy selection process for the handover from E-UTRAN to GERAN
CS+PS SRVCC
To trigger CS+PS SRVCC, you must perform the following operations:
This function is also controlled by the GeranSrvccSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.
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 some operators or neighboring GSM cells on the network do not support SRVCC, you
can configure the support capabilities of operators or neighboring GSM cells as follows:
CS-only SRVCC
To trigger CS-only SRVCC, you must perform the following operations:
This function is also controlled by the GeranSrvccSwitch option of the eNodeB-level parameter
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoModeSwitch.
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 some operators or neighboring GSM cells on the network do not support SRVCC, you
can configure the support capabilities of operators or neighboring GSM cells as follows:
Table 3-3 Retry and penalty mechanisms for SRVCC triggered by different features or
functions
Triggering Cause Retry and Penalty
Mechanism
If a CS+PS handover preparation for SRVCC fails, the handover attempt is controlled by the
SRVCCWITHPSCSRETRYSWITCH option of the CellHoParaCfg.SrvccHoOptSwitch
parameter.
l If this option is selected, the UE re-initiates a CS handover attempt in the target cell. This
function applies only to SRVCC to UTRAN.
l If this option is deselected, the UE does not initiate a CS handover attempt in the target
cell.
4 Signaling Procedure
4. The eNodeB determines that a handover should be performed and sends a Handover
Required message containing an SRVCC HO Indication to the MME.
5. The MME splits voice bearers from non-voice bearers, and then transmits a Relocation
Request message to both the MSC and the target SGSN.
6. After receiving the Relocation Request message, the SRVCC MSC server instructs the
target RNC or BSC to prepare for a handover. After resources are ready, the target RNC
or BSC informs the target MSC. Once the resources are ready, the target RNC or BSC
responds to the target MSC server. The conversion of the media plane is implemented in
the IMS.
NOTE
If the value of the SRVCC HO Indication information element (IE) is "CS Only" in the Handover
Required message sent from the eNodeB to the MME, the MME instructs only the MSC server to
prepare for a handover. If the value of the SRVCC HO Indication IE is "PS and CS", the MME
instructs both the MSC server and SGSN to prepare for a handover.
For a CS-only SRVCC procedure, if the target network is UTRAN, the PS services of the UE
resume during a routing area update (RAU) procedure in the UTRAN. If the target network is
GERAN, PS service handling depends on whether the UE and BSC support Dual Transfer Mode
(DTM). If both the UE and BSC support DTM, the PS services of the UE resume during an RAU
procedure in the GERAN. If either the UE or the BSC does not support DTM, the PS services of
the UE are suspended.
7. The MME acts based on the following scenarios:
– In the CS-only SRVCC scenario, the MME responds after receiving a handover
preparation complete indication from the target MSC server.
– In the CS+PS SRVCC scenario, the MME responds after receiving a handover
preparation complete indication from the target MSC server or target SGSN.
8. The MME delivers a handover command to the eNodeB.
9. The eNodeB delivers a handover command to the UE.
10. After receiving the handover command, the UE accesses the target network.
11. The UE completes the handover procedure for SRVCC.
LCS-based SRVCC
Figure 4-2 shows the signaling procedure for LCS-based SRVCC.

6 Network Impact
Network Performance
If the target network of a CS-only SRVCC procedure is a UTRAN, only the bearer with QCI 1
is diverted to the CS domain of the target network. Bearers with other QCIs can be
reestablished in the PS domain of the target network only after an RAU procedure. The CS-
only SRVCC procedure results in a service interruption period of several seconds for PS
services. However, the PS+CS SRVCC procedure has a service interruption period of only
hundreds of milliseconds for PS services.
Network Performance
With SRVCC flexible steering to UTRAN, UEs measure UTRAN frequencies with high CS
service priority but do not measure UTRAN frequencies with low CS service priority. If an
operator does not deploy sufficient UTRAN frequencies with high CS service priority, the
SRVCC success rate may decrease.
Network Performance
If the target network of a CS-only SRVCC procedure is a GERAN that supports DTM, only
the bearer with QCI 1 is diverted to the CS domain of the target network. Bearers with other
QCIs can be reestablished in the PS domain of the target network only after an RAU
procedure. Otherwise, the bearer with QCI 1 is diverted to GERAN using SRVCC and the PS
service is suspended.
During SRVCC to GERAN, the function of releasing inter-frequency measurements after the
GSM measurement is triggered improves the call drop rate in the following scenarios:
l The serving cell is not under inter-frequency coverage of an LTE network.
l The serving cell is under coverage of a GSM network.
l The signal of the serving cell attenuates quickly and maintains at least 2s.
This function may increase the call drop rate and the number of handovers to GSM, and
decrease the number of inter-frequency handovers and number of reestablishments in the
following scenarios:
l The serving cell is under inter-frequency coverage of an LTE network.
l The serving cell is under coverage of a GSM network.
l The signal of the serving cell attenuates quickly and maintains at most 3s.
7 Engineering Guidelines
7.1.3 Process
To deploy SRVCC to UTRAN, you must complete the following steps:
1. Formulate a neighboring cell plan and configure the neighboring cells accordingly when
both UMTS and LTE networks are deployed.
2. Configure parameters of handover thresholds related to SRVCC to UTRAN.
3. Prepare the license file related to SRVCC to UTRAN and configure feature switches
related to SRVCC to UTRAN.

l For the Huawei EPC, the EPC version for eRAN6.0 is required. If the EPC version is not
for eRAN6.0, messages may not be parsed.
l For a third party's EPC, the EPC must support SRVCC complying with 3GPP Release 8.
Check that software versions for the EPC are correct.
License
The operator has purchased and activated the license for the feature listed in the following
table.
NOTE
For SRVCC to UTRAN for combined services, if the UTRAN uses Huawei devices, corresponding
licenses need to be activated on the UTRAN. For details, see the engineering guidelines for
WRFD-150215 SRVCC from LTE to UMTS with PS Handover in Interoperability Between UMTS
and LTE Feature Parameter Description.
Required Data
Before configuring SRVCC 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. Collect
data for the parameters in the following MOs:
1. UtranNFreq: used to configure a neighboring UTRAN frequency.
2. UtranExternalCell: used to configure external UTRAN cells. If CS+PS SRVCC is
enabled, you need to set the UtranExternalCell.Rac parameter.
Scenario-specific Data
The following table describes the parameter that must be set in the CellHoParaCfg MO to
configure SRVCC to UTRAN.
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the CellHoParaCfg and
CnOperatorHoCfg MOs to enable SRVCC to UTRAN optimization for combined services.
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the
InterRatPolicyCfgGroup MO to configure an inter-RAT handover policy group.
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the QciPara MO to configure
a QCI-based inter-RAT handover policy group.
The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the CellQciPara MO to
configure the QCI priority used by each QCI-based handover algorithm.
The following table describes the parameters that must be set to configure LCS-based
SRVCC. If LCS is required when a UE is performing a service with QCI 1 in an E-UTRAN
network that supports IMS but does not support LCS, the UE needs to fall back to a CS
domain to perform LCS by using an SRVCC procedure.
NOTE
l The following table describes the parameters that must be set in the
UtranNetworkCapCfg MO to configure the UTRAN capability. The UTRAN
capability is supported by default if it is not configured.

Counter ID Counter Name Description
----End
7.4.2 Fault 2
Fault Description
The performance monitoring results show that the SRVCC handover success rate does not
meet the operator requirement. The SRVCC handover success rate is calculated according to
the following formula: SRVCC handover success rate = (Number of successful inter-RAT
handovers for SRVCC - Number of responses for abnormal causes received by the eNodeB
from the MME during inter-RAT handover executions for SRVCC)/Number of inter-RAT
handover executions for SRVCC.
l The number of successful handover executions for SRVCC: includes the number of
successful SRVCC-based outgoing handovers from E-UTRAN to WCDMA, number of
successful SRVCC-based outgoing CS-only handovers from E-UTRAN to TD-SCDMA,
and number of successful SRVCC-based outgoing handovers from E-UTRAN to
GERAN.
l The number of handover execution attempts for SRVCC: includes the number of
SRVCC-based outgoing handover executions from E-UTRAN to WCDMA, number of
SRVCC-based outgoing CS-only handover executions from E-UTRAN to TD-SCDMA,
and number of SRVCC-based outgoing handover executions from E-UTRAN to
GERAN.
Fault Handling
Step 1 In the target system of handovers, check the counters related to incoming inter-RAT
handovers to find out whether the UEs accessed the target system.
If the UEs accessed the target network, go to Step 2.
Step 2 Check the counters related to failed inter-RAT handovers in the target system to identify
whether the fault resides in the peer RAN or core network.
For details about the counters in the target system, see section "Monitoring" in
Interoperability Between UMTS and LTE Feature Parameter Description and section
"Performance Counters" in Interoperability Between GSM and LTE Feature Parameter
Description. You can locate the failure scope based on related traffic statistics changes and
check related signaling logs or CHRs to view detailed failure cause values.

Group B1ThdE RATHO TDLOF Mobility UTRAN. This parameter specifies the requirement for
cn0 UTRAN D-00101 between Ec/N0 of the target UTRAN cell. For a cell with large
GROUP 9 E- signal fading variance, set this parameter to a large
MOD TDLOF UTRAN value to prevent unnecessary handovers. For a cell
INTER D-00102 and with small signal fading variance, set this parameter to
RATHO 2 UTRAN a small value to ensure timely handovers. A large
UTRAN SRVCC value of this parameter results in a low probability of
GROUP to handover to the UTRAN cell, and a small value leads
UTRAN to a high probability. When the measurement value
LST exceeds this threshold, a measurement report will be
INTER sent.
