Dual Radio vs. e1xCSFB


*Some 1x and LTE band combinations may need special attention. **If LTE roaming is not in place then the device will camp on 1x network, provided 1x roaming agreement is in place. *** Dependency on PRL configuration
Metric Dual Radio Solution e1xCSFB
Estimated MO Call Setup Delay 50ms+e1xCSFB Best
Estimated MT Call Setup Delay 1870ms+e1xCSFB Best
Standby Power Consumption 1x+LTE Idle Standby Best (LT-Only Standby)
User Experience Best (Simultaneous Voice and Data [SVD]) No SVD
Device Cost Higher Lower
Network Cost Lower (No Network Impact) Higher
Outbound Roaming No Network Impact* Needs LTE Roaming to Support e1xCSFB**
Inbound Roaming 1x voice, Data on EV-DO*** All Inbound Roamers Allowed
SMS Need IMS to Offload from 1x Network Reuse S102 to Offload from 1x n/w
Future Considerations VoLTE Will Require Nationwide LTE S102 Can Be Reused for SRVCC

In Conclusion
CSFB offers a solution with the cost, size, and battery life advantages of single-radio solutions,
LTE data speeds, and reliability/ubiquity of 2G/3G voice
Redirection-based CSFB using Release 9 SI Tunneling, for both 3G and 2G offer call delays
within subseconds of legacy call setup delay
Redirection-based CSFB offers call reliability on par with legacy call setup reliability
Compared to dual radio solution, e1xCSFB offers more cost effective device solution and also
with shorter call setup delay
