Background
CSFB-capable
MSC server
UTRAN
3GPP-compliant CSFB enables LTE subscribers to simultaneously register with EPS
and CS networks and fall back to CS networks as instructed by the EPS network to
use CS services, such as voice calls.

When detecting a 4G frequency is available, the RNC triggers the PSHO or redirection flow
(preferred) for the subscriber to return to an LTE network. During the redirection flow, the
RNC adds the LTE frequency to an RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message to be sent to the
subscriber.

The CSFB Indication and End of CSFB IEs indicate that the subscriber is an LTE
subscriber. The BSC or RNC then notifies the MSC server of the LTE frequency, ensuring
that the subscriber can return to the LTE network in a fast manner.

Fallback flow
MME
Compared with the legacy networking for the CSFB Proxy service, the networking for the CSFB
Proxy Backup and Recovery feature provides CSFB proxy-level and MME-level redundancy in
MT voice calls and SMS when the CSFB proxy or MME is faulty.

GERAN/UTRAN
E-UTRAN
The UE falls back to a 2G/3G
network for a voice call.
The CSFB Proxy Backup and Recovery feature enables the MSOFTX3000 to perform the
following functions as a CSFB proxy to interwork with an MME Pool when the CSFB proxy is
deployed in standalone mode and to interwork with an MME or MME Pool when the CSFB
proxy is deployed in a CSFB Proxy Pool.

SGs
The CSFB proxy solution requires that MSC servers that support SGs interface protocols be
deployed to function as the CSFB proxies. In this solution, only simple CS network
reconstruction is required for CSFB deployment.

When attempting to release a CSFB call, the MSC server adds the CSFB Indication IE to a
CLEAR_COMMAND message to be sent to the BSC or adds the End of CSFB IE to an
IU_RELEASE_COMMAN message to be sent to the RNC.
The CSFB Backup and Redundancy feature enables the a standalone or pooled VMSC server to
interwork with an MME or an MME Pool when the VMSC server is deployed in an MSC Pool and
to interwork with an MME Pool when the VMSC server is deployed in standalone mode.

The MTRF feature enables the original MSC server to route the call to the new MSC
server, thereby ensuring successful connection of the call.

The CSMT feature enables the MSC server not to connect a call until an intra-MSC location
update is complete when the intra-MSC location update request contains the CSMT flag.
