GSM BSS
CSFB Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
CSFB is one of a number of interoperability features provided by Huawei to enable GSM and
LTE networks to work together smoothly.
NOTE
l All MSs involved in this feature are GSM/LTE dual-mode MSs.

l The FDD-based LTE is not distinguished from the TDD-based LTE in this document. FDD stands
for frequency division duplex, and TDD stands for time division duplex.

GSM BSS
2.1 Background
As an IP network, an LTE network is typically deployed with an IP multimedia subsystem
(IMS) to support circuit switched (CS) services. At the initial stage of LTE network
deployment, some operators expect to provide CS services without deploying an IMS. If the
core network (CN) is not deployed with an IMS, the LTE network cannot use voice over IP
(VoIP) to carry CS services.
2.2 Introduction
2.2.1 CSFB
With CSFB, a UE initiating CS services in an LTE cell is migrated to a GSM cell and then
performs CS services on the GSM network.
2.2.2 Ultra-Flash CSFB

When CSFB is enabled, a UE in an LTE cell must reselect a GSM cell to perform CS services,
increasing the call setup delay.
The Ultra-Flash CSFB feature is introduced to speed up the CSFB procedure. When Ultra-
Flash CSFB is enabled, the GSM network prepares CS resources in advance for a UE using
the single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) handover procedure. This way, the CS
resource establishment procedure is not required after the UE falls back to the GSM network.
In addition, Ultra-Flash CSFB eliminates the authentication, encryption, and international
mobile equipment identity (IMEI) query procedures on the GSM network, decreasing the call
setup delay and improving user experience.
2.3 Benefits
2.3.1 CSFB
The CSFB feature provides the following benefits:
l Allows operators to provide CS services without deploying an IMS at the initial stage of
LTE network deployment.
l Allows UEs in areas covered by both GSM and LTE networks to process CS services on
the GSM network, fully utilizing legacy GSM networks.
2.3.2 Ultra-Flash CSFB

In addition to benefits provided by CSFB, Ultra-Flash CSFB reduces the LTE-to-GSM CSFB
delay by 1s to 2s, improving user experience.

CSFB Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
3.1 CSFB
On a CSFB-enabled network, a UE camping on an LTE cell is migrated to a GSM cell to
originate a CS call or receive a CS paging message. A CSFB call follows the same procedure
as that when the UE camps on a GSM cell.
3.1.1 MOC CSFB

A UE in idle mode or during a PS service initiates a CS call on an LTE network. To proceed
with the call procedure, the eNodeB initiates mobile originated call (MOC) CSFB to migrate
the UE to a GSM cell through PS handover, cell change order (CCO), or redirection. Figure
3-1 shows the MOC CSFB procedure.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-1 MOC CSFB procedure

GSM BSS
NOTE
In Figure 3-1, the procedures enclosed in the white dotted line frame are optional and those enclosed in
the gray dotted line frame have branch procedures.
1. A UE sends an Extended Service Request message carrying the CS Fallback Indicator

information element (IE) to the mobility management entity (MME), instructing the
MME to initiate CSFB.
NOTE
The UE sends an Extended Service Request message only when both the following conditions are met:
l The UE is attached to the CS domain with a combined EPS Attach.
l The UE cannot initiate IMS voice services.
2. The MME sends an S1-AP Request message carrying the CS Fallback Indicator IE to the
eNodeB, instructing the eNodeB to migrate the UE to a GSM cell.
3. The eNodeB selects a target GSM cell for the UE based on the measurement result or
LTE network configuration.
For details, see CSFB Feature Parameter Description.
4. (Optional) If GBFD-511308 eNACC Between GSM and LTE has been enabled on a
GSM network, and the LTE network and CN support the RAN information management
(RIM) procedure, the eNodeB starts the RIM procedure.
4a to 4c. The eNodeB requests the GSM system information (SI) from the BSS using the RIM
procedure.
4d to 4f. The BSC sends the GSM SI to the eNodeB. If

CSFBIDENTIFYMOSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to ON(On), the BSC changes the
new establishment causes indication (NECI) and sends SIB3 carrying the NECI to the
eNodeB.
5. The eNodeB instructs the UE to access the target GSM cell as follows:
l 5a. If both the UE and the network support PS handovers, the eNodeB initiates an LTE-
to-GSM PS handover.
l 5b. If both the UE and the network support LTE-to-GSM CCO instead of PS handovers,
the eNodeB sends a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message to the UE. The
MobilityFromEUTRACommand message indicates that the purpose is cellChangeOrder.
If the LTE-to-GSM eNACC procedure is used, the MobilityFromEUTRACommand
message carries the GSM cell ID and the SI (including SIB1, SIB3, and SIB13). If this
procedure is not used, the message carries only the GSM cell ID.
l 5c. If redirection is allowed, the eNodeB sends an RRC connection release message to
redirect the UE to the target GSM cell.
6. The eNodeB releases the S1 UE Context.
7. The UE sends a Channel Request message to the BSC.
If the location area (LA) has changed, the BSC proceeds with 9.
If the LA remains unchanged and CSFBIDENTIFYMOSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to

ON(On), the UE sends a Channel Request message with a specific cause value according to
the modified NECI in the RIM procedure in step 4.
l If the cause value is the same as that corresponding to the NECI in the GSM system, the
BSC determines that the call is processed within the GSM system.

GSM BSS
l If the cause value is the same as that corresponding to the NECI in the RIM procedure,
the BSC determines that the call is a CSFB call. This process is referred to as CSFB
MOC identification.
If the LA remains unchanged and CSFBIDENTIFYMOSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
OFF(Off), this call is not identified as a CSFB call.
8. (Optional) If the CSFBIMMASSENSW parameter involved in the GBFD-160203
CSFB QoS feature is set to ON(On), the BSC starts the TCH immediate assignment
procedure. For details about the CSFB QoS, see CSFB QoS Feature Parameter
Description.
9. (Optional) If the LA has changed, a local area update (LAU) procedure or combined
routing area update (RAU)/LAU procedure is performed.
The BSC determines whether the call is a CSFB call based on the value of CSMO in the
"Additional update parameters" IE contained in the RAU or LAU message.
– If the call is not a CSFB call, the BSC processes the call following the common call
access procedure.
– If the call is a CSFB call and SUPPORTCSFB(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to
SUPPORT(Support), the BSC proceeds with subsequent steps.
– If the call is a CSFB call but SUPPORTCSFB(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to
UNSUPPORT(Not Support), the BSC rejects the call.
NOTE
Some UEs cannot report the "Additional update parameters" IE to the BSC. Without this IE, the
BSC processes the call following the common call access procedure.
10 to 13. (Optional) If the UE is processing PS services before initiating a call, and neither the
UE nor the network supports Dual Transfer Mode (DTM), the UE suspends the PS services.
14 to 19. The UE initiates a CS call setup procedure.
The BSC determines whether the call is a CSFB call based on the value of CSMO in the
"Additional update parameters" IE contained in the CM Service Request message.
l If the call is not a CSFB call, the BSC processes the call following the common call
access procedure.
l If the call is a CSFB call and SUPPORTCSFB(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to
l If the call is a CSFB call but SUPPORTCSFB(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to
NOTE
Some UEs cannot report the "Additional update parameters" IE to the BSC. Without this IE, the BSC
processes the call following the common call access procedure.
If the MSC that the UE was attached to in the LTE cell before CSFB is not the MSC that the
UE was attached to in the GSM cell after CSFB, and if the UE has not performed any location
updates, the MSC rejects the MOC. After receiving a CM Service Reject message, the UE
performs an LAU procedure and then proceeds with the call procedure.
If a UMTS network is available, set SendUtranECSCFlag(BSC6900,BSC6910) to YES(Yes)
to allow UEs to proactively report 3G classmarks to the BSC. However, Classmark reporting
increases the call setup delay. To shorten this delay, set
UTRANCMDELAYFORCSFBSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) to ON(On) for CSFB calls. This
setting prohibits UEs from reporting 3G classmarks to the BSC. If an early assignment

GSM BSS
procedure is used, the BSC proactively queries 3G classmarks after the alerting procedure. If
a late assignment procedure is used, the BSC proactively queries 3G classmarks after
assignment is complete.
20. (Optional) After the CS call is complete:
l If the GBFD-511312 Fast LTE Reselection at 2G CS Call Release feature is enabled, the
UE quickly returns to an LTE cell. If there are suspended PS services, the UE restores
the PS services in the LTE cell.
l If the GBFD-511312 Fast LTE Reselection at 2G CS Call Release feature is disabled, the
UE continues to camp on the GSM cell. If there are suspended PS services, the UE
initiates an RAU in the GSM cell to restore the PS services.
3.1.2 MTC CSFB

A UE in idle mode or during a PS service receives a paging message on an LTE network. To
proceed with the call procedure, the eNodeB initiates mobile terminated call (MTC) CSFB to
migrate the UE to a GSM cell through PS handover, CCO, or redirection. Figure 3-2 shows
the MTC CSFB procedure.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-2 MTC CSFB procedure

GSM BSS
NOTE
In Figure 3-2, the procedures enclosed in the white dotted line frame are optional and those enclosed in
the gray dotted line frame have branch procedures.
1 to 3. An UE in an LTE cell receives a paging message.

l Upon detecting that the UE is in idle mode, the eNodeB sends a Paging request message
carrying an SAE-temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI) or international mobile
subscriber identity (IMSI), to the UE.
l Upon detecting that the UE is in connected mode, the eNodeB sends a CS Paging
Notification message to the UE.
4. The UE sets up a radio resource control (RRC) connection and sends an Extended Service
Request message that carries the "CS Fallback Indicator" IE to inform the MME to initiate
CSFB.
5. The MME sends an SGs Service Request message to stop the MSC from resending paging
messages over the SGs interface.
6. The MME sends an Initial UE Context Setup message carrying the CS Fallback Indicator
IE to instruct the eNodeB to migrate the UE to a GSM cell.
7. The eNodeB selects a target GSM cell for the UE based on the measurement result or LTE
network configuration.
For details, see CS Fallback Feature Parameter Description.
8. (Optional) If both the GSM and LTE networks support the RIM procedure, the eNodeB
starts the RIM procedure.
9. The eNodeB instructs the UE to access the target GSM cell as follows:
l 9a. If both the UE and the network support PS handovers, the eNodeB initiates an LTE-
to-GSM PS handover.
l 9b. If both the UE and the network support LTE-to-GSM CCO instead of PS handovers,
the eNodeB sends a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message to the UE. The
MobilityFromEUTRACommand message indicates that the purpose is cellChangeOrder.
If the LTE-to-GSM eNACC procedure is used, the MobilityFromEUTRACommand
message carries the GSM cell ID and the SI (including SIB1, SIB3, and SIB13). If this
procedure is not used, the message carries only the GSM cell ID.
l 9c. If the UE or the network supports neither LTE-to-GSM CCO nor PS handovers, the
eNodeB sends an RRC connection release message to redirect the UE to a GSM cell.
10. The eNodeB releases the S1 UE Context.
11. The UE sends a Channel Request message to the BSC.
If the LA changes, the BSC proceeds with step 13.
If the LA remains unchanged and CSFBIDENTIFYMTSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
ON(On), the BSC identifies the CSFB MTC based on the cause value contained in the
Channel Request message.

GSM BSS
NOTE
This process is referred to as CSFB MTC identification. According to 3GPP TS 44.018 v8.9.0,
depending on the Paging Indication value contained in the paging message from the GSM network, the
called UE contains any cause value (except the value corresponding to "Any channel") in the Channel
Request message. On the LTE network, however, the paging message from the eNodeB does not contain
the Paging Indication IE, and a UE that falls back to the GSM network contains the cause value
corresponding to "Any channel" in the Channel Request message.
12. (Optional) If the CSFBIMMASSENSW parameter involved in the GBFD-160203 CSFB

QoS feature is set to ON(On), the BSC starts the TCH immediate assignment procedure. For
details about the CSFB QoS, see CSFB QoS Feature Parameter Description.
13. (Optional) If the LA changes after the UE accesses the GSM cell, the UE performs an
LAU procedure or combined RAU/LAU procedure.
The BSC determines whether the call is a CSFB call based on the value of circuit switched
fallback mobile terminated call (CSMT) in the "Additional update parameters" IE contained
in the RAU or LAU message.
l If the call is not a CSFB call, the BSC processes the call following the common call
access procedure.
l If the call is a CSFB call and SUPPORTCSFB(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to
l If the call is a CSFB call but SUPPORTCSFB(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been set to
If a UE cannot report the "Additional update parameters" IE, it uses the paging-based CSFB
call identification function to identify a CSFB MTC. When
CSFBPagingIdentifySw(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), if the BSC receives a paging
message from the MSC:
l The BSC buffers the paging message carrying the temporary mobile subscriber identity
(TMSI).
Upon receiving a paging response message from the UE, the BSC will match the paging
response message and the buffered paging message. Based on the matching result, the
BSC determines whether the MTC is a CSFB MTC.
– If the paging response message and the buffered paging message match, the BSC
determines that the MTC is not a CSFB MTC.
– If the paging response message and the buffered paging message do not match, the
BSC determines that the MTC is a CSFB MTC. This is because the paging message
of a CSFB call is not included in buffered paging messages but delivered from the
LTE network.
– If the LA changes, the UE performs an LAU or combined RAU/LAU procedure
before initiating a call. In this case, the BSC needs to determine whether the UE
initiates an MTC based on the subsequent call procedure. If the UE initiates an
MTC, and the paging response message and the buffered paging message match,
the BSC determines that the call is not a CSFB MTC. Otherwise, the BSC
determines that the call is a CSFB MTC.
l The BSC does not buffer the paging message carrying the IMSI.
If such a call cannot be identified based on the CSMT or using the very early
identification mode, the BSC determines that the call is not a CSFB MTC.
When CSFBPagingIdentifySw(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off), the BSC
processes the call following the common call access procedure.

GSM BSS
14 to 17. (Optional) If the UE is processing PS services before initiating a call, and neither the
UE nor the network supports Dual Transfer Mode (DTM), the UE suspends the PS services.
18 and 19. The UE sends a paging response message to the MSC through the BSS.
The BSC determines whether the call is a CSFB call based on the value of CSMT in the
"Additional update parameters" IE carried in the paging response message. The determination
process is the same as that described in step 13.
In MSC pool networking mode, after receiving a message in response to the CSFB paging
message from a UE accessing a GSM cell, the BSC performs either of the following
operations:
l If the CSFB paging response message delivered by the eNodeB carries the Temporary
Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI), the BSC obtains the DSP of the MSC according to
the NRI in the TMSI information and sends a paging response message to the MSC.
l If the CSFB paging response message delivered by the eNodeB carries the IMSI
(International Mobile Subscriber Identity): When the
CSFBPAGRSPBCSWITCH(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to YES (namely, the
MSC supports Roaming Retry), the BSC randomly selects an MSC from the MSC pool
and sends the paging response message to the MSC. When the
CSFBPAGRSPBCSWITCH(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to NO (namely, the
MSC does not support Roaming Retry), the BSC discards the CSFB paging response
message.
20 to 22. (Optional) If the UE does not register with the MSC or the UE is not allowed to
access the LA, the MSC rejects the paging response and releases the A interface links. The
BSC then releases the signaling channel over the Um interface. After the signaling channel
over the Um interface is released, the UE obtains the location area identity (LAI) and
performs an LAU procedure.
23. The MSC initiates a CS call setup procedure.
If a UMTS network is available, set SendUtranECSCFlag(BSC6900,BSC6910) to YES(Yes)
to allow UEs to proactively report 3G classmarks to the BSC. However, Classmark reporting
increases the call setup delay. To shorten this delay, set
UTRANCMDELAYFORCSFBSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) to ON(On) for CSFB calls. This
setting prohibits UEs from reporting 3G classmarks to the BSC. If an early assignment
procedure is used, the BSC proactively queries 3G classmarks after the alerting procedure. If
a late assignment procedure is used, the BSC proactively queries 3G classmarks after
assignment is complete.
24. (Optional) The UE performs an LAU or combined RAU/LAU procedure.
l If the GBFD-511312 Fast LTE Reselection at 2G CS Call Release feature is enabled, the
UE quickly returns to an LTE cell. If there are suspended PS services, the UE restores
the PS services in the LTE cell.
l If the GBFD-511312 Fast LTE Reselection at 2G CS Call Release feature is disabled, the
UE continues to camp on the GSM cell. If there are suspended PS services, the UE
initiates an RAU in the GSM cell to restore the PS services.
3.2 Ultra-Flash CSFB

This section describes Ultra-Flash CSFB implementation only on a GSM network. For
information about its implementation on an LTE network, see CS Fallback Feature Parameter
Description in eRAN Feature Documentation.

GSM BSS
When UltraFlashCSFBSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), the BSC supports Ultra-

Flash CSFB. Figure 3-3 illustrates the MOC Ultra-Flash CSFB procedure. Figure 3-4
illustrates the MTC Ultra-Flash CSFB procedure.
Figure 3-3 MOC Ultra-Flash CSFB procedure

GSM BSS
Figure 3-4 MTC Ultra-Flash CSFB procedure
1a to 3a. A UE initiates voice services in an LTE cell. The eNodeB triggers an LTE-to-GSM
SRVCC handover for the UE.
NOTE
In the MTC Ultra-Flash CSFB procedure, the MSC sends the Paging request or CS Paging Notification
message to the UE before the UE sends the Extend Service Request message to the MME.
3b. After receiving the SRVCC handover request from the MSC, the BSC identifies the Ultra-
Flash CSFB call and prepares CS resources for the call.
The BSC checks whether the configurations of MCC, MNC, LAC, and SAC in the service
area identifier (SAI) for a call are consistent with those configured on the MSC server. If they
are, the BSC determines the call is an Ultra Flash CSFB call. If they are not, the BSC
determines that the UE performed a UMTS-to-GSM inter-RAT handover.
The MCC, MNC, LAC, and SAC can be configured using parameters in the
GCELLCSFBPARA or GSAIFORLTE MO. The details are as follows:

GSM BSS
l MCC: UltraFlashCSFBSAIMCC(BSC6900,BSC6910) (GCELLCSFBPARA MO) or

In the MME pool or MOCN scenarios, if a BSC is connected to multiple MSC servers, which
are configured with different SAI values, the BSC also needs to be configured with multiple
SAI values. The GCELLCSFBPARA MO can only be used to configure one set of SAI
parameters. To add more SAI values, the GSAIFORLTE MO can be used. The MCC, MNC,
LAC, and SAC on the BSC are the combination of the GCELLCSFBPARA MO and
GSAIFORLTE MO.
NOTE
When no SAI parameter has been configured through the GCELLCSFBPARA MO, the
GSAIFORLTE MO can also be used to configure multiple sets of SAI parameters.
4. The CN sends the Handover Command message to the eNodeB, and the eNodeB sends the
message to the UE.
5. The UE is handed over to the GSM network.
6 to 9. The UE establishes CS services on the GSM network.
l Signaling is carried by traffic channels (TCHs), accelerating signaling transmission.

l In the MOC Ultra-Flash CSFB and MTC Ultra-Flash CSFB procedures, before sending
or receiving the Alerting message, the MSC sends the UE a Disconnect message,
instructing the UE to release a default session generated during the SRVCC handover.
This mechanism helps prevent interference on subsequent session establishment. After
the UE is handed over to a GSM cell, if the UE sends the Disconnect message to the
MSC to release the default session, the MSC does not send the Disconnect message to
the UE before sending or receiving the Alerting message.
Ultra-Flash CSFB eliminates the dimmed signaling procedures shown in Figure 3-3 and
Figure 3-4. The following details the reasons why these signaling procedures are eliminated:
l Authentication
The UE has been authenticated on the LTE side before it is handed over from an LTE
cell to a GSM cell.
l Encryption
The UE has performed encryption as instructed during the SRVCC handover.
l IMEI query
The MME has sent the IMEI to the MSC during the preparation for the SRVCC
handover.
l CS resource establishment
The GSM network has prepared CS resources during the SRVCC handover procedure
and the UE does not need to reestablish CS resources after the SRVCC handover.

System Capacity
When both the GBFD-511312 Fast LTE Reselection at 2G CS Call Release and
GBFD-511313 CSFB features are enabled, the duration of UEs camping on GSM cells and
the number of times that UEs initiate services in the GSM cell can be reduced, improving the
overall network capacity of GSM and LTE networks.
Network Performance
l Deteriorating PS service experience
If a UE initiates a CS call or receives a paging message during a PS service in an LTE
cell, the UE reselects a GSM cell using CSFB to perform the CS service. The PS service
will be interrupted or the PS user rate decreases.
If the UE supports only the full rate, CSFB calls may be mistakenly identified, increasing
the TCH congestion rate.
l Prolonging the call setup delay
In CSFB, a UE in an LTE cell must reselect to a GSM cell to perform CS services. This
prolongs the call setup delay.
In scenarios where a UE sends the Utran Classmark Change message to the BSC when
accessing the GSM network, enabling the "access delay decrease with unreported 3G
classmark in the RIM procedure" function helps decrease the CSFB MOC or CSFB
MTC setup delay by 0.47s to 1.2s.
l Increasing the signaling load
The number of LAUs or RAUs increases. If the CSFB is performed through PS
handovers, the number of PS handovers also increases.
l Increasing the CPU load
When CSFB MTC identification is used, the paging message carrying the TMSI is to be
buffered and queried during call access. If this function is enabled, CPU load will
increase by up to 1%.

CSFB Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1.1 When to Use CSFB

CSFB helps provide voice services on an LTE network without the IMS. It is recommended
that this feature be enabled when operators expect to provide CS services without deploying
an IMS at the initial stage of LTE network deployment.
If a UE does not comply with 3GPP TS 44.018 v8.9.0 when sending the Channel Request
message to the BSC, the BSC may identify a CSFB call as a non-CSFB call, which cannot
experience CSFB services. Alternatively, the BSC may identify a non-CSFB call as a CSFB
call, which unexpectedly occupies TCHs, increasing the TCH congestion rate.
l If the proportion of MOCs not complying with 3GPP TS 44.018 v8.9.0 exceeds 5% in a
cell, you are advised not to enable CSFB MOC identification.
MOC protocol incompliance is determined when MOC signaling over the Um interface
meets either of the following conditions:
– When NECI is 1, the cause value of the Channel Request IE is 111xxxxx.
– When NECI is 0, the cause value of the Channel Request IE is 0100xxxx.
l If the proportion of MTCs not complying with 3GPP TS 44.018 v8.9.0 exceeds 5% in a
cell, you are advised not to enable CSFB MTC identification.
MTC protocol incompliance is determined when MTC signaling over the Um interface
meets either of the following conditions:
– The Paging request message on the network side does not contain the Paging
Indication IE.
– The Paging request message on the network side contains the Paging Indication IE,
and the cause value of the Channel Request IE for the MTC is 0001xxxx,
0010xxxx, or 0011xxxx.
If the proportion of UEs not supporting half rate exceeds 5% in a cell, you are advised not to
enable CSFB MOC identification.

GSM BSS
6.1.2 Required Information

Before deploying CSFB, check whether the MSC supports MSC Pool networking.
6.1.3 Planning
The cells to be enabled with CSFB must be covered by both GSM and LTE networks.
It is a good practice to jointly plan LTE tracking areas (TAs) and GSM LAs if the CSFB MOC
and MTC identification is required. This ensures that CSFB MOCs and CSFB MTCs are
correctly identified even when location updates occur in the CSFB procedure.
The capacity of GSM cells depends on the proportion of calls made by LTE subscribers.
