Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 2 Overview

2 Overview
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a technology that evolves from Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System (UMTS). LTE is gaining momentum to dominate the mobile communications networks.
During the initial stage of LTE network deployment, it is difficult to provide seamless LTE coverage in the
entire network. To solve this problem, the feature Mobility Between UMTS and LTE (WRFD-020126
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE Phase 1) is introduced.
With this feature, a UE supporting both UMTS and LTE can obtain higher rates in areas covered by both
UMTS and LTE. In addition, the UMTS network can take over LTE UEs in areas where the LTE network
does not provide coverage or the LTE network capacity is not enough. The feature protects investments
on the existing network, and enables smooth network evolution.
In a common initial deployment scenario, an LTE network provides high-rate mobile broadband services
in hotspots, whereas a UMTS network provides low- and medium-rate mobile broadband services and
seamless coverage in wide areas.
RAN12.0 supports:
Cell reselection from UMTS to LTE
Cell reselection from LTE to UMTS (see the LTE Feature Documentation)
PS handover from LTE to UMTS for coverage (see the LTE Feature Documentation)
RAN13.0 supports:
Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to LTE

Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 3 Cell Reselection Between UMTS and LTE

3 Cell Reselection Between UMTS and LTE


This chapter describes the feature WRFD-020126 Mobility Between UMTS and LTE Phase 1.
Cell reselection between UMTS and LTE has two parts: UMTS-to-LTE cell reselection and LTE-to-UMTS
cell reselection.
When camping on the UMTS network, a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE receives system information from the
serving UMTS cell. System information block 19 (SIB19) carries the absolute priorities of the serving
UMTS cell and LTE frequencies. If the absolute priorities of one or more LTE frequencies are higher than
the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell, the corresponding LTE cell or cells are the preferred target
cells for cell reselection. If the absolute priorities of all LTE frequencies are lower than the absolute
priority of the serving UMTS cell, UMTS cells are the preferred target cells for cell reselection.
When camping on the LTE network, a UMTS/LTE dual-mode UE receives system information from the
serving LTE cell. SIB3 carries the absolute priority of the serving LTE cell, SIB5 carries the absolute
priorities of the LTE frequencies, and SIB6 carries the absolute priorities of the UMTS frequencies. You
can manipulate these priorities to favor UMTS or LTE cells as target cells for reselection.
The SibCfgBitMap parameter in the ADD/MOD UCELLSIBSWITCH command specifies whether to
broadcast SIB19.

3.1 UMTS-to-LTE Cell Reselection


When a UE camping on the UMTS network receives SIB19 and specific conditions are met, the UE
starts measuring the LTE signal quality. Based on the measurement results, the UE camps on the best
cell by performing reselection.

3.1.1 Criteria for Starting Measurements


SIB19 carries the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell, the absolute priorities of the LTE
frequencies, and the cell reselection thresholds. Different radio access technologies (RATs) must have
different priorities. Upon receipt of SIB19, the UE does the following:
If the absolute priorities of one or more LTE frequencies are higher than the absolute priority of the
serving UMTS cell, the UE starts measuring the signal quality of the LTE frequencies.
The SPriority parameter in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command
specifies the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell.
The NPriority parameter in the ADD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO
command specifies the absolute priorities of the LTE frequencies.
If the absolute priorities of one or more LTE frequencies are lower than the absolute priority of the
serving UMTS cell and the formula SrxlevServingCell Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell Sprioritysearch2 is
true, the UE starts measuring the signal quality of the LTE frequencies.
Details about these two formulas are as follows:
TheThdPrioritySearch1 and ThdPrioritySearch2 parameters in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or
MOD UCELLSELRESEL command specify the values of Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2,
respectively.
Sprioritysearch1
is a threshold for the received signal code power (RSCP) of the serving UMTS cell. If
the serving cells RSCP measured by the UE minus Qrxlevmin is not larger than Sprioritysearch1, the
UE starts measuring the signal quality of the LTE frequencies whose absolute priorities are lower
than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell. The larger the value of this parameter, the more
likely the UEs are to start the measurements.

Issue 02 (2011-12-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 3-1


Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd
WCDMA RAN
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 3 Cell Reselection Between UMTS and LTE

Sprioritysearch2
is a threshold for the Ec/No of the serving UMTS cell. If the serving cells Ec/No
measured by the UE minus Qqualmin is not larger than Sprioritysearch2, the UE starts measuring the
signal quality of the LTE frequencies whose absolute priorities are lower than the absolute priority of
the serving UMTS cell. The larger the value of this parameter, the more likely the UEs are to start the
measurements.
For details about Srxlev and Squal, see 3GPP TS 25.304.

3.1.2 Criteria for Triggering Cell Reselection


After measuring the UMTS serving cell and LTE frequencies, the UE shifts to the best cell by performing
reselection.
SIB19 carries the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell, the absolute priorities of the LTE
frequencies, and the cell reselection thresholds. The UE performs cell reselection based on the absolute
priorities.
The following two groups of criteria apply to UMTS-to-LTE reselection:
Group 1
The absolute priority of an LTE frequency is higher than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS
cell.
TheSrxlev value of the LTE frequency, SrxlevnonServingCell, has remained at or above the threshold
Threshhigh for a period of time longer than Treselection.
Group 2
The absolute priority of an LTE frequency is lower than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell.
SrxlevnonServingCell has remained above Threshlow for a period of time longer than Treselection.
SrxlevServingCell hasremained below Threshserving,low for a period of time longer than Treselection, or
SqualServingCell has remained below 0 for a period of time longer than Treselection.
Details about these parameters are as follows:
Threshhighis the relative threshold for the target cells signal level during reselection to a cell with a
higher absolute priority. The ThdToHigh parameter in the ADD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD
UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO command specifies the value of Threshhigh. The larger the value of this
parameter, the less likely reselection is to occur.
Threshlowis the relative threshold for the target cells signal level during reselection to a cell with a
lower absolute priority. The ThdToLow parameter in the ADD UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO or MOD
UCELLNFREQPRIOINFO command specifies the value of Threshlow. The larger the value of this
parameter, the less likely reselection is to occur.
TheTreselections parameter in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command
specifies the value of Treselection.
Threshserving,low
is the threshold for the serving cells RSCP during reselection to an LTE cell working
at an LTE frequency with a lower absolute priority. The ThdServingLow parameter in the ADD
UCELLSELRESEL or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command specifies the value of Threshserving,low.
When the LTE frequencies of lower absolute priorities are being measured, if the signal quality of the
serving UMTS cell constantly remains below Threshserving,low and the signal quality of an LTE
frequency satisfies the formula SrxlevnonServingCell > Threshlow, the UE triggers reselection to the cell
working at this LTE frequency. The larger the value of this parameter, the more likely reselection is to
occur.
To summarize:
If the criteria in group 1 are fulfilled, the UE performs reselection to a cell working at an LTE frequency
with a higher absolute priority.

WCDMA RAN
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE 3 Cell Reselection Between UMTS and LTE

If t the criteria in group 2 are fulfilled, the UE performs reselection to a cell working at an LTE frequency
with a lower absolute priority.
If the criteria in neither group are fulfilled, the UE remains on the UMTS network.
If multiple cells fulfill a group of criteria, the UE performs reselection to the cell with the highest absolute
priority. If multiple cells have the highest absolute priority, the UE performs reselection to the cell with the
largest SrxlevnonServingCell value.

3.2 LTE-to-UMTS Cell Reselection


LTE-to-UMTS cell reselection is used when the LTE network is new and provides incomplete coverage,
but the UMTS coverage is complete. LTE-to-UMTS cell reselection is based on absolute priorities and
mainly involves the LTE network.
For details, see LTE document Mobility Management in Idle Mode Feature Parameter Description.

Mobility Between UMTS and LTE UMTS to LTE

4 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from UMTS to


LTE
4.1 Overview
This chapter corresponds to the features WRFD-020129 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from
UMTS to LTE.
After a UE sets up a PS service on the UMTS network, a PS redirection is used to shift the UE and the
PS service to the LTE network when the LTE signal quality fulfills the criteria.
During a UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection, the RNC sends the UE an RRC Connection Release message,
which contains LTE frequencies. After the connection is released, the UE enters idle mode on the UMTS
network, selects the LTE network, and sets up a PS service on it.
Service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections is mainly used in the following two situations:
A UE that has fallen back to the UMTS network by using CSFB is still processing PS services and the
LTE signal quality is good when the UEs voice services are complete, that is UE received RADIO
BEARER RELEASE COMPLETE messages of voice services. In this scenario, a PS redirection
improves PS service quality.
A UE only initiates a PS service on the UMTS network in a UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage area and
the LTE signal quality is good. In this scenario, a redirection improves user experience and makes
more efficient use of the LTE network.
To minimize the possibility of redirection failures, UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections are based on the LTE
signal quality measurements. Redirections are only triggered if the LTE signal quality is good.
LTE-to-UMTS PS redirections are performed mainly by the LTE network. For details, see LTE document
Idle Mode Mobility Management Feature Parameter Description.

4.2 Measurements on LTE Signal Quality


After receiving Radio Bearer Setup, Radio Bearer Reconfiguration, Radio Bearer Release message or
inter-frequency hard handover. RNC determines whether LTE measurement is started. RNC start LTE
measurement if all the following conditions are met:
All of the following conditions must not be met:
Some of the UEs RABs are CS RABs.
Theinformation element E-UTRAN Service Handover in a certain PS RAB of the UE carries the
value "Handover to E-UTRAN shall not be performed."
Theservice handover attribute EUTRANSHIND of a certain PS RAB of the UE is set to
HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM, which means that this type of service cannot be
handed over or redirected to the LTE network.
Where
The information element E-UTRAN Service Handover is optional and specifies which RABs cannot
be shifted to the LTE network through a redirection or handover. If one or more of the PS RABs for
the UE cannot be shifted to the LTE network, the UE cannot be redirected to the LTE network.
The parameters EUTRANSHIND and TrafficClass in MML ADD UTYPRABBASIC command are
used for controlling whether the type of services can be redirected to LTE network. The parameter
EUTRANSHIND can be set to HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM or
HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM, and the parameter TrafficClass can be set to
CONVERSATIONAL, STREAMING, INTERACTIVE, or BACKGROUND. For example, if the
parameter TrafficClass is set to CONVERSATIONAL and the parameter EUTRANSHIND is set to

WCDMA RAN 4 Service-Based PS Service Redirection from
Mobility Between UMTS and LTE UMTS to LTE

HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM, the conversational services are not allowed to


redirect to LTE network.
The neighboring LTE cells are configured for UMTS serving cell
The UE supports both UMTS and LTE.
The UE supports LTE measurements when in connected mode.
The UE supports UMTS-to-LTE PS redirections.
If all these conditions are met and a UMTS-to-PS redirection is allowed, the RNC sends a measurement
control command to the UE, instructing the UE to measure the LTE signal quality. Event 3C is triggered
when the LTE signal quality satisfies the following formula:
MOtherRAT TOtherRAT + H3c/2
where,
MOtherRAT is the measured quality of the LTE cell after filtering. The LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter
specifies which of the following is used as the measured quantity of the LTE cell: Reference Signal
Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ). U2LTEFilterCoef is the filter
coefficient for the measurement results. A larger value for this parameter results in a greater
smoothing effect and higher anti-fading capabilities, but also lower capabilities of tracking signal
fluctuations. A smaller value for this parameter results in more unnecessary redirection.
TOtherRAT is the threshold that the LTE signal must reach before a redirection to the LTE network can be
performed. The TargetRatThdRSRP or TargetRatThdRSRQ parameter specifies the TOtherRAT value.
The TargetRatThdRSRP parameter is the RSRP threshold, and the TargetRatThdRSRQ parameter
is the RSRQ parameter.
the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter is set to RSRP, event 3C is reported when the RSRP of the
If
LTE cell has remained greater than or equal to the sum of TargetRatThdRSRP and H3c/2 for a period
of time longer than TrigTime3C.
the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter is set to RSRQ, event 3C is reported when the RSRP of the
If
LTE cell has remained greater than or equal to the sum of TargetRatThdRSRP and H3c/2 for a period
of time longer than TrigTime3C.
The TrigTime3C parameter is the hysteresis for the UE triggering event 3C. The value of this
parameter relates to slow fading. A larger value for this parameter results in a lower possibility of
handovers and unnecessary handovers and a stronger resistance to instantaneous signal
fluctuations. An excessively large value for this parameter results in a higher possibility of call drops.
H3c is the hysteresis for reporting event 3C, and it is configured by the Hystfor3C parameter. The
value of this parameter relates to slow fading. A larger value for this parameter results in stronger
resistance to signal fluctuations. This curbs the ping-pong effect but slows the handover algorithms
response to signal fluctuations.
These parameters can be configured at the RNC or cell level with the SET UU2LTEHONCOV command
or the ADD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV command, respectively. If these parameters are configured at both
RNC and cell levels, cell-level settings override RNC-level settings.

4.3 Target Cell Selection and Execution of Redirections


The event 3C report from the UE to the RNC carries the LTE cell or cells that meet the conditions for
event 3C. If the report carries multiple LTE cells, the one with the best signal quality is selected as the
target cell. The RNC shifts the UE to the target cell by using a redirection.
Figure 4-1 shows the procedure for a UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection.

5.2.1 When to Use Service-based PS Redirection from UMTS to LTE
This feature is recommended in UMTS/LTE overlapping coverage areas. Determine whether to enable
the UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection based on the UE capabilities in the live network..
If UEs preferentially camp on the UMTS network, this feature must be used. Otherwise, UEs can camp
on the LTE network by cell reselection only in weak UMTS coverage areas, which leads to an idle LTE
network.

5.2.2 Deployment Requirements


The SGSN can send the RNC a RAB Assignment Request message containing the E-UTRAN Service
Handover IE.

To turn on the general switch for the UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection, run the following command:
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: HoSwitch= HO_LTE_PS_OUT_SWITCH-1
To turn on the switch for the service-based UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection, run the following command:
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: HoSwitch= HO_LTE_SERVICE_PS_OUT_SWITCH-1.
Step 3 Set the basic parameters of an LTE cell.
To add an LTE cell and specify its basic information, run the ADD ULTECELL command. The following
is an example:
ADD ULTECELL: LTECellIndex=1, LTECellName="LTECELL1", EUTRANCELLID=100, MCC="460",
MNC="01", TAC=10, CnOpGrpIndex=1, CellPHYID=100, LTEBand=10, LTEArfcn=500,
SuppPSHOFlag=NotSupport;
To modify the LTE cell attributes, run the MOD ULTECELL command. The following is an example:
MOD ULTECELL: LTECellIndex=1, TAC=9;
To remove the LTE cell, run the RMV ULTECELL command. The following is an example:
RMV ULTECELL: LTECellIndex=1;
The key parameters are as follows:
EUTRANCELLID: the LTE cell identity, which uniquely identifies an LTE cell in a PLMN. For macro
base stations, EUTRANCELLID consists of a 20-bit eNodeBID and an 8-bit CellID. For micro base
stations, EUTRANCELLID is a 28-bit eNodeBID. The parameter setting depends on the network
plan.
TAC: the tracing area code of the LTE cell. In principle, eNodeBs within a certain area are managed
by the MME in charge of this area. The tracing area code specified for an LTE cell must be within the
TAC range configured on the MME.
Step 4 Set the parameters of neighboring LTE cells.
To configure a neighboring LTE cell with a cell index of 1 for a UMTS cell whose RNC ID is 1 and
UMTS cell ID is 2, run the following command:
ADD ULTENCELL: RNCId=1, CellId=2, LTECellIndex=1;
To remove a neighboring LTE cell with a cell index of 1 from a UMTS cell whose RNC ID is 1 and
UMTS cell ID is 2, run the following command:
RMV ULTENCELL: RNCId=1, CellId=2, LTECellIndex=1;
Step 5 To set the RNC-level non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE redirection measurement parameters,
run the SET UU2LTEHONCOV command. The following is an example:
SET UU2LTEHONCOV: LTEMeasTypOf3C=MeasurementQuantity, U2LTEFilterCoef=D6,
U2LTEMeasTime=30, LTEMeasQuanOf3C=RSRP, Hystfor3C=2, TrigTime3C=D10,
TargetRatThdRSRP=20, TargetRatThdRSRQ=30;
Step 6 Set the cell-level non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE redirection measurement parameters.
To add the cell-level non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE redirection measurement parameters, run the
ADD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV command. The following is an example:
ADD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV: CellId=1, LTEMeasTypOf3C=MeasurementQuantity,
U2LTEFilterCoef=D6, U2LTEMeasTime=30, LTEMeasQuanOf3C=RSRP, Hystfor3C=2,
TrigTime3C=D10, TargetRatThdRSRP=20, TargetRatThdRSRQ=30;
To modify the cell-level non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE redirection measurement parameters, run
the MOD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV command. The following is an example:
MOD UCELLU2LTEHONCOV: CellId=1, U2LTEFilterCoef=D0;

the RMV UCELLU2LTEHONCOV command. The following is an example:
RMV UCELLU2LTEHONCOV: CellId=1;
If the cell-level redirection measurement parameters are configured, UEs access the cell by using
these parameters. If no cell-level redirection measurement parameters are configured, UEs access the
cell by using the RNC-level redirection measurement parameters.
Step 7 Run the ADD UTYPRABBASIC command and set the TrafficClass and EUTRANSHIND
parameter for service handover attributes.
For example: run the ADD UTYPRABBASIC command with TrafficClass set to interactive and
EUTRANSHIND set to HO_TO_EUTRAN_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM, UEs processing interactive
services cannot be redirected to the LTE network.

5.2.4 Activation Observation


After the preceding parameters are set, verify that a redirection procedure is executed as expected..

5.2.5 Performance Optimization

UCELLSELRESEL(Option reselects the neighboring cell. It is used to avoid
al) ping-pong reselection between different cells.
Note that the value 0 corresponds to the default
value defined in the protocol.
Set the parameter as follows:
1. Ensure that the UE can reselect a cell when
crossing the non-soft-switch area of the cell and
that the UE timely performs location updates,
cell updates, or URA updates when necessary.
2. Ensure that the UE does not reselect a cell
when it is in the soft-switch area of the cell. In
this way, the unnecessary location updates, cell
updates, and URA updates are avoided.
3. Consider the difference between cells that
cover different areas, for example the cells
covering highways and cells covering densely
populated areas. TIf the parameter is set to a
comparatively low value, the ping-pong
reselections may be caused. The parameter can
be increased in populated area and reduced in
high-speed movement. If the parameter is set to
a comparatively high value, the cell reselection
delay may become excessively high, and thus
cell reselections may be affected.
