eNodeB orders UE to move to a GSM or WCDMA cell by using PSHO
procedures. eNodeB may decide target cell based on measurements
during the HO preparation phase. Target cell SI provided to UE during the
HO procedure

Two solutions:
MSC Pool assures page response to correct MSC (by TMSI-NRI)
Strongly recommended in CSFB implementations
MT Roaming Forward reroutes the call and subscriber to the new MSC
Solving the problem but with additional call setup delay, note ~5s addition

authorize use of MTRF. (for auth.) from MSC 1, also MSC 2 which provides
indicating support of MTRF MSRN. MSC 1 reroutes the
call to MSC 2 (IAM)

Fea t u r e in t r o d u c t io n
CSFB requires SW upgrade and SGs-interface in the MSC
With MSC Pool only one or a few MSCs can serve all LAs
More CSFB-MSCs can be upgraded as traffic demand grows
CSFB can be provided to a pool of MSC-S Blade Cluster nodes
