Three Driving Factors of the VoLTE

For voice calls, frequency

usage efficiency of the LTE
network is over four times
that of the circuit switched
(CS) network.

The CS Fallback (CSFB) voice call solution is one of the major voice over long
term evolution (VoLTE) solutions. During evolution of mobile broadband voice
calls, this solution is considered as the optimal solution in the industry to
provide the LTE voice call service with use of the CS network at the early stage
of the LTE. This solution helps operators to seize market opportunities.

The CSFB is critical to operators owning the LTE network.

Huawei CS Fallback solution document describes the principle,

networking, service interaction, and network reconstruction of the
CSFB solution.

Key Technologies (1)

Redundancy

The CS Fallback solution document provides the redundancy mechanism

and message flow.

The CSFB Proxy

Backup and
Recovery and CSFB
Backup and
Recovery features
provide CSFB proxylevel and MME-level
redundancy in mobile
terminated (MT) and
mobile originated
(MO) call services
when the CSFB
proxy/CSFB or MME
is faulty.

MTRR and MTRF

The CS Fallback solution document describes differences between two

solutions and provides deployment recommendations and message flows.

As illustrated in the figure

above, the CSFB solution
comprises the Mobile
Terminating Roaming
Retry (MTRR) and Mobile
Terminating Roaming
Forwarding (MTRF)
solutions.

CSFB fallback

The CS Fallback solution document compares the previous fallback

solutions and provides the delay analysis of these solutions in a table.

The CSFB can be

implemented in five
modes in terms of
UE and network
capabilities:
(1) PS handoverenabled CSFB
(2) Redirectionenabled CSFB
(3) R8 CCO with
NACC

Return from GERAN/

UTRAN to E-UTRAN

The CS Fallback solution document describes solutions for fast return to the
4G network.

The solution for

GERAN/UTRAN to
return to E-UTRAN
after mobile
terminals revert to
GERAN/UTRAN

Delay

The CS Fallback solution document describes the delay for MO and MT calls
and delay optimization solutions in the CSFB and CSFB Proxy solutions.

The delay is an
important network
indicator in the CSFB
solution.

03

CSFB Networking Policies

The CS Fallback solution document describes
network evolution solutions and redundancy
mechanisms for the CSFB and CSFB Proxy solutions.

You can select an evolution networking solution based on actual conditions of the live
network to quickly deploy the LTE network.

Introduction to CSFB and CSFB Proxy

Services
The CS Fallback solution document introduces you to message flows
of major services when the CSFB and CSFB Proxy solutions are
implemented. This helps you learn the fallback flows of voice calls.
