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:

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:
The
ThdPrioritySearch1 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)
3-1

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. details about Srxlev and Squal, see 3GPP TS 25.304.
For
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.
The
Srxlev value of the LTE frequency, SrxlevnonServingCell, has remained at or above the threshold Threshhigh for a period of time longer than Treselection. absolute priority of an LTE frequency is lower than the absolute priority of the serving UMTS cell. has remained above Threshlow for a period of time longer than Treselection.
Group 2
The SrxlevnonServingCell
SrxlevServingCell has
remained 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. is 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. is 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. Treselections parameter in the ADD UCELLSELRESEL or MOD UCELLSELRESEL command specifies the value of Treselection. 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.
Details about these parameters are as follows:

Threshhigh
Threshlow
The
Threshserving,low
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.
Issue 02 (2011-12-30)
3-2

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.

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 The The
of the UEs RABs are CS RABs.
information element E-UTRAN Service Handover in a certain PS RAB of the UE carries the value "Handover to E-UTRAN shall not be performed."
service 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. 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
Where
Issue 02 (2011-12-30)
4-1
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.
If
the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter is set to RSRP, event 3C is reported when the RSRP of the LTE cell has remained greater than or equal to the sum of TargetRatThdRSRP and H3c/2 for a period of time longer than TrigTime3C.
If
the LTEMeasQuanOf3C parameter is set to RSRQ, event 3C is reported when the RSRP of the 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.

5.1.3 Activation Observation

Start Uu interface message tracing on the RNC LMT. If the message trace indicates that the RNC has sent SIB19, this feature has been activated. To check for SIB19 on the Uu interface, perform the following steps: Step 1 Start Uu interface message tracing in the navigation tree of the LMT. Step 2 If SIB19 can be traced on the Uu interface, this feature has been activated. Otherwise, check the data configured in the steps for feature activation. Then, try again.
5.2 Service-based PS Redirection from UMTS to LTE

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. UEs in connected mode support measuring the LTE signal quality.
5.2.3 Feature Activation

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. 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.
TAC:
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.

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;
Issue 02 (2011-12-30)
5-3
To remove the cell-level non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE redirection measurement parameters, run 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.

BSC6900 ADD Meaning: If the signal quality (CPICH Ec/No UCELLSELRESEL(Option measured by the UE) of a neighboring cell is al) better than that of the serving cell during the specified time of this parameter, the UE MOD UCELLSELRESEL(Option reselects the neighboring cell. It is used to avoid ping-pong reselection between different cells. al) 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.
