Why CS Fallback
Successful Story
Major Deployment Options of LTE Voice
IMS based LTE voice • Rich services experience
VoLTE Provide voice service based on • Less connection time than CS
(LTE for data & voice) LTE network, support inter-work • >3 times frequency efficiency
with 2G/3G
Reuse CS
(LTE for data only)
• Less impact to network
SVLTE • High cost & power consumption
Attach to 2G/3G & LTE of terminal
simultaneously, 2G/3G for voice • Traditional service in CS

CS Fallback Solution Overview
Terminal
• CSFB capable terminal
LI Billing Center OSS
Radio network HLR/HSS
• Optional upgrade of BSC/RNC Reused
1. Support sending the page response to MSC when the page request sent by MME, not through the BSC/RNC
RNC/BSS 2. Support 3GPP R8 phase and can broadcast 4G adjacent area information
3. Fast return to LTE after CS service is recommended to be triggered by BSC/RNC for better user experience
SCP/RBT/SMC NA
STP Support FNR(flexible number routing) function while using different HLR/HSS for 2G/3G and 4G user
MME All the new MME should support CSFB and select a MSC in the Pool base on IMSI-Hash
eNodeB Support CSFB function and R8 redirection fallback mechanism in blind mode at least
1. Support sending data to HSS or HLR based on the user’s type. If the user is 4G, the data should send to HSS and
STP with FNR. if the user is 2G/3G ,the data should send to HLR
Provision
2. Delete the 3G /2G data in HLR when user upgrade to 4G in HSS
3. Reuse existing CS for LI and charging

• 3GPP R8 redirection recommended for fast deployment without extra requirements on BSC/RNC
• 3GPP R9 redirection with SIB(2) and PSHO recommended considering less latency
CS data
Flexible Number Routing for CSFB provisioning
1. STP should be enhanced with flexible number routing between 2G/3G(including
fallback user) and 4G user
PS data
2. Routing data is updated to STP when 4G user provisioning
3. STP route service message to HLR or HSS based on FNR
Keep existing HLR no change for legacy 2G/3G user 4. Support 4G migration without changing number in 2G/3G with FNR

Benefits
BTS
• Fast deployment in 1 month, short TTM
eNodeB
• First LTE voice network in Hong Kong telecom market, increasing brand
• Brings successful market(10000sub in 2 months), win the beginning
Case DNA
Challenges: To win the competition edge, KPN needs to deploy commercial LTE voice network within 3 months
as the surging of smart phones capable of CS fallback.
Huawei solutions: 1 MSS as CSFB Proxy is deployed over the existing core network to meet the TTM, which
has no impacts on existing BSS, OSS and LI.
Benefits:
1) Reusing CS to provide voice/SMS service and saving CAPEX in the initial LTE phase
2) Fast launch of LTE voice before commercial VOLTE and win the competition edge
