Feature Objectives
Avoid detecting CSFB when UE is redirected by eNodeB to UTRAN
for another reason than CSFB
o Radio problem (entering coverage alarm, below serving floor)
o Offload reason (reactive load control, preventive load control)
Detect CSFB when UE provides both Pre-redirection Info and CSFB

Indication IE in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
4
170715 is based on UA8.1 134661
Purpose of UA8.1 PM134661 is to send UE back to LTE at CS call completion
after RNC has detected that UE has connected for a CSFB reason
CSFB is detected by RNC if Pre-redirection Info is not present in RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST 3GPP 9.4+ : UE shall not include Pre-redirection
Info
in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST if redirected by LTE
CSFB detection is based on the absence

of
Pre-Redirection info IE at RRC
connection
If UE is LTE capable: Detection of fake CSFB

If UE redirected by LTE for radio or load
CsfbDetection is set to reason
TRUE
Side effect:
UE Fast Returned to LTE if CS call is setup
VS.CsfbDetectionInRrcConn++

170715 added value
CSFB is detected by RNC if optional CSFB Indication IE is present in RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST
3GPP 9.11+: UE should include CSFB Indication

in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST if redirected by LTE for
CSFB
UE CSFB detection is based on the presence of

CSFB Indication IE at RRC connection
Risk of non detection of true CSFB

If UE is LTE capable: if UE not supporting CSFB Indication
CsfbDetection is set to
TRUE
Side effect:
UE not Fast Returned to LTE at CS call release

Pros Gain is expected if feature is activated for R9 UE only (csfbDeductionAndIndication).

Cons
[1] Actual Support of CSFB Indication IE is not know by RNC since it is an Optional R9 IE. Field observation showed that
some R9 UE dont support it but also some R8 UE support it.

Two steps activation of the feature
CSFB Indication optional IE has been introduced in R9 version 11 therefore
lots of R8 UE currently on the field dont support it
Feature is designed to be able to activate feature in two steps
for R9+ UE only in a 1st step (the only step assessed in ORF FA)
for any UE in a 2nd step (all UE supporting CSFB Indication IE)

Interactions with other features and Upgrade rules

PM170715 interactions with other features
UA8 134661 Fast Return to LTE at CS call completion
Introduces the capability to redirect LTE capable UE at the end of a CSFB that was detected either as an RRC-
based CSFB (at RRC CONNECTION without UE providing the Pre-redirection Info IE) or as a PS HO-based CSFB
(at incoming 4G->3G RELOCATION REQUEST with Radio Network Layer Cause Extension IE = CS Fallback
triggered).
The PM170715 adds supplementary options on top of it.
Required Feature. Strong interaction.
UA8 108661 LTE to UMTS PS HO and cell reselection enhancements
Introduces the capability to detect an incoming PS HO-based CSFB call as a CS speech call that is setup in a
TmaxDelayForCsCallEstablishment time period after an incoming 4G->3G RELOCATION REQUEST with Radio
Network Layer Cause Extension IE = CS Fallback triggered has been successfully performed.
Recommended Feature. No interaction but gain of 170715 is less when 108661 is enabled as most of the
CSFB scenario will be PS HO-based and 170715 brings improvement for RRC-based CSFB only.
UA8 89858 iMCTA Enhanced - Redirection to LTE sub-feature
Introduces the capability to trigger a redirection to LTE on AO downsize from DCH to FACH or xPCH.
Recommended Feature. No interaction but of interest if 134661 was not triggered due to non-detection of
CSFB.
UA8 89857 iMCRA Step 2

Introduces the capability to redirect to LTE an LTE capable UE at RRC CONNECTION with UE providing the Pre-
redirection Info IE.
Recommended Feature for LTE capable UE camping on 3G and connecting from Idle mode for PS service.
Interaction with 170715 in the sense that in LR14.2W RNC 11 does not trigger redirection to LTE if UE provides
CSFB Indication IE in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
At upgrade to LR14.2W, the new parameter will get the following value :
RadioAccessService::csfbDetectionMethod = CsfbDeduction

The NodeB cluster included 13 sites upgraded in LR14.2W and 6 sites that
were still in LR13.3W but feature was activated on these 19 sites as it is
managed at RNC level.

Assessment Fast Return Time
16
Fast Return Time check (1/3)
Live tests were performed in order to compute the 3G->LTE Fast Return Time and compare it
to the value commited with ORF.
Two kinds of tests were performed :
TC11:CSFB-Release-FR-To-LTE when csfbDetectionMethod = csfbDeductionAndIndication
Start a CS call on 4G, UE will fallback to 3G, when releasing the CS the UE Fast Returns to LTE
TC14:CSFB-PS-Release-FR-To-LTE when csfbDetectionMethod=csfbDeductionAndIndication
Start a CS call on 4G, UE will fallback to 3G, add a PS call on 3G, release CS, UE Fast Returns to LTE
while PS traffic is ongoing on LTE
Two kinds of UE were used :
Samsung N4 : R9 supporting CSFB Indication IE
Samsung S3 : R8 not supporting CSFB Indication IE
Fast Return time were measured from two different perspectives:
User perspective, preferred by ORF, time between Disconnect message on 3G and
Tracking Area Update Complete on LTE
Network perspective, preferred by ALU, time between last RRC Connection Release
message on 3G and Tracking Are Update Request on LTE

Assessment - Performance
20
Improvement of Fast Return rate thanks to the decrease of the difference between number of
CSFB detected and number of Fast Return trigerred, because LTE->3G redirections of R9+ UE
for non-CSFB causes are not anymore detected as CSFB by RNC
21
Fast Rate improvement is correlated with difference between CSFB Detected and Fast Return
22
New screenings of CSFB Detected from CSFB Indication IE are pegged (R9 UE CSFB)
23
New counters are pegged, CS Voice RAB Setup Success Rate is very good
No CS Voice RAB setup for CSFB in Relocation as PS HO LTE->3G is not activated
24
New counters are pegged, CS Voice RAB Drop Rate is very good

Limitations
42
Feature limitations Poor LTE coverage
In case of poor LTE coverage or LTE cells loaded, probability of a
failure during the redirection to LTE may increase
o 3G->LTE RRC redirection being triggered in blind mode (not measurement
based)
o If no suitable cell on indicated LTE frequency(ies) is found within 10s, an
attempt to camp on any suitable cell on any other available LTE frequencies is
applicable.
o If no LTE coverage is available, UE can spend up to 20s searching for LTE,
before coming back to 3G.
For such areas, reselection should be preferred, avoiding a potential 20s
period when UE cannot be paged nor perform traffic.
A way to avoid this would be to deactivate the feature on 3G cells in

areas with poor LTE coverage
Redirection to LTE on AO Downsize can also be disabled on those cells
43
Feature limitations Non global activation of
Fast Return
In case Fast Return to LTE feature (134661) is not activated on the
whole RNS, some UE, the ones having performed a CSFB, will not be
redirected to LTE if CS call completion takes place after a Primary Cell
Change to a cell where FRtoLTE is not activated
This will degrade the Fast Return Success Rate
A way to avoid this would be to activate the feature on all 3G cells

of same RNS for which we know that LTE coverage is good enough on
the same serving area
As for LR13.3W, FRtoLTE is still not triggered after Iur mobility
o Inter-RNS Primary Cell Change
o SRNS relocation scenario
These two scenarios will be covered by LR15.3W feature 179215 Fast Return
to LTE Enhancements 44

Conclusion
45
Conclusion
UE traces have shown that feature behaves as expected
New counters were pegged
Feature Pros & Cons :
+ no CSFB detection for non-CSFB LTE->3G redirection
=> no Fast Return if subsequent non-CSFB CS call ends on 3G
+ Fast Return if both Pre-redirection Info & CSFB Indication
are provided by UE
- CSFB not detected and Fast Return not triggered if UE does not
provide CSFB Indication :
R8 UE : mitigated by choosing CsfbDeductionAndIndication instead of
CsfbIndication
R9 UE : limited by the low quantity of such UE and availability of
Redirection to LTE on AO Downsize feature

Test on Live Network
Live tests objectives were to
o Execute some functional test cases on the live context
o Compute the Fast Return Time
The Fast Return Time Computation has been done with the following hypothesis:
Test11 & 14 were repeated several times, UE logs collected and information on 3G-4G
transition time was extracted
Fast Return time were measured from two different perspectives:
User perspective, preferred by ORF, time between Disconnect message on 3G and
Tracking Area Update Complete on LTE
Network perspective, preferred by ALU, time between last RRC Connection Release
message on 3G and Tracking Are Update Request on LTE
LR14.2W NodeB tests have been done on Chateauroux Christophe site
LR13.3W NodeB tests have been done on Chateauroux FT site
Several roaming drives have been done in Chateauroux with both Samsung N4 and S3
51
Local Field Configuration Impacts
It has been observed on the FA area that some FRtoLTE were not
triggered after CSFB in the following scenario :
LTE to 3G CSFB was performed on a 3G site A
CSFB was detected and counted as such on site A
UE moved to another site when connected to 3G
CS call was completed on a 3G site B where FRtoLTE was not triggered
FRtoLTE was not triggered due to one of the following causes :
3G site B coverage was not overlapped by sufficient LTE coverage
Fast Return feature was not activated on 3G site B
Consequence was a bigger difference at NodeB cluster level between
o the number of CSFB detected
o the number of Fast Return triggered
52

KTS LR14.

Detect CSFB when UE provides both Pre-redirection Info and CSFB

CSFB detection is based on the absence

If UE is LTE capable: Detection of fake CSFB

3GPP 9.11+: UE should include CSFB Indication

UE CSFB detection is based on the presence of

Risk of non detection of true CSFB

CSFB Non-CSFB (radio, offload)

No Pre-redirection Pre-redirection No Pre-redirection Info Pre-redirection Info

CSFB Indication CSFB Indication CS Speech call (A)

3 Not a CSFB scenario. Common scenario for non-CSFB

5 Common scenario for non-CSFB redirections of R8 UE

Pros Gain is expected if feature is activated for R9 UE only (csfbDeductionAndIndication).

Goals were to assess :

Assumption for R8/R9 distribution of LTE->3G redirections

Non-detection of the 2 CSFB above is mitigated by the new detection of some

CSFB Indication present CSFB Indication -2

Network is not mature enough to activate 170715 feature for R8 UE as well

A way to avoid this would be to deactivate the feature on 3G cells in

A way to avoid this would be to activate the feature on all 3G cells
