IMSI-based Mobility Management for Multiple Operators
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

2.1 User-Level Mobility Control


In inter-frequency or inter-RAT scenarios, operators expect user-level mobility control to
enable specific UEs to preferentially reselect or be handed over to a specific network.
Multiple UMTS features support user-level mobility control. These features are used in
different scenarios and adopt different control policies. Table 2-1 briefs the application
scenarios and control policies for these features.

WCDMA RAN
IMSI-based Mobility Management for Multiple Operators
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2.2 Background
Assume that operators A and B belong to the same country or area, and they have signed a
roaming agreement. According to this agreement, UEs belonging to operator B can roam to
and use the UMTS network of operator A, but they cannot use the GSM and LTE networks of
operator A. Operator B requires that its UEs preferentially select the GSM or LTE network of
its own when the UEs return to GSM or LTE from the UMTS network of operator A.
Therefore, the Mobility Management Based on IMSI for Multiple Operators feature needs to
be configured for the networks of operator A.

2.3 Introduction
The Mobility Management Based on IMSI for Multiple Operators feature classifies UEs
belonging to different operators into different groups based on IMSI number segments.
Diversified UMTS-to-GSM/LTE mobility management policies can be flexibly customized
for UE groups of different operators. Such policies include UMTS-to-GSM/LTE camping
policy in idle mode, UMTS-to-LTE mobility management policy in connected mode. These
policies enable UEs belonging to different operators preferentially to return to the GSM/LTE
network of their affiliated operators from a UMTS network.

2.4 Benefits
This feature enables multiple operators to share a UMTS network through roaming. With this
feature, each UE can preferentially return to the non-shared GSM or LTE network of its
HPLMN from the UMTS network, thereby improving user experience.

3 Technical Description

3.1 Introduction
The Mobility Management Based on IMSI for Multiple Operators feature includes the
following functions:

l IMSI-based UMTS-to-LTE mobility management in idle mode, including UMTS-to-


GSM/UMTS/LTE cell reselections
l IMSI-based UMTS-to-LTE mobility management in connected mode, including UMTS-
to-LTE PS redirections and handovers
l IMSI-based UMTS-to-LTE fast return

The implementation of this feature is as follows: IMSI number segments are configured. That
is, users of different operators are classified into different groups based on the IMSI number
segments. In this way, operators can use the IMSI number segments to make flexible service
management policies for UEs. In each service management policy, an operator can configure
information such as the UMTS/LTE frequency dedicated priority and dedicated priority of a
GSM cell group. For details, see 3.2 IMSI Number Segment Configuration and UE
Service Policy Configuration.

This feature needs the support of the CN, RAN, and UEs. The following table describes the
functions of each NE and the UE.

Table 3-1 Functions of each NE and the UE in the Mobility Management Based on IMSI for
Multiple Operators feature

NE Function

CN l In the attach, local area update (LAU), or routing area update (RAU)
procedure, the CN sends a COMMON ID message to the RNC, carrying
the IMSI of a UE.
l In a CS or PS service setup procedure, the CN sends a COMMON ID
message to the RNC, carrying the IMSI of a UE.
l In a service migration procedure, the CN sends a RELOCATION
REQUEST message to the target RNC, carrying the IMSI of a UE.

UE Service Policy Configuration


With IMSI number segments, operators can make flexible service management policies for
UEs using the IMSI number segments, as shown in Table 3-3, where:

l Each GsmFreqPriorityGroupId (BSC6900, BSC6910) corresponds to a group of


dedicated priority policies of GSM group cells.
l Each RatFreqPriorityGroupId (BSC6900, BSC6910) corresponds to a group of
dedicated priority policies of UMTS and LTE frequencies.
l T322CFGInd (BSC6900, BSC6910) indicates whether to configure the effective
duration of the dedicated priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency.
l T322 (BSC6900, BSC6910) indicates the effective duration time of the GSM/
UMTS/LTE frequency. After the T322 timer expires, the UE reselects another cell using
the absolute priority of the GSM cell group or UMTS/LTE frequency in the SIB19.
l EDetectInd (BSC6900, BSC6910) indicates whether a UE can detect signals in LTE cell
with a low priority when the UE camps on a UMTS cell.

3.3 IMSI-based Mobility Management in Idle Mode


The RNC must broadcast the SIB19 in UMTS cells to use this function. To enable this
function, run the ADD UCELLSIBSWITCH or MOD UCELLSIBSWITCH command,
and select SIB19 under SibCfgBitMap (BSC6900, BSC6910).
This function involves two priorities:
l Absolute priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency and cell reselection level threshold
broadcast in the SIB19 in UMTS cells
l Dedicated priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency carried by the Dedicated Priority
Information information element (IE) in the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION
message sent by the RNC

WCDMA RAN
IMSI-based Mobility Management for Multiple Operators
Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

NOTE

l Frequencies served by different modes cannot be configured with the same priority, in respective of
the absolute or dedicated priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency.
l The Dedicated Priority Information IE in the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message only
carries the dedicated priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency, instead of the cell reselection level
threshold. Therefore, the UE also needs to obtain the cell reselection level threshold of each
frequency from SIB19 after obtaining the dedicated priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency from
the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message. The RNC must broadcast the frequency carried
in the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message to the UE in the SIB19.

The following figure shows the IMSI-based mobility management process in idle mode on the
RNC side.

Figure 3-1 IMSI-based mobility management process in idle mode

NOTE

As specified in 3GPP protocols, the RNC can obtain the SPID of a UE from the PS CN only. When both
SPID-based mobility management and IMSI-based mobility management are enabled, the RNC only
uses the SPID and IMSI provided by the SGSN, and does not use the IMSI provided by the MSC.

In the preceding process, the RNC determines whether the SPID-based dedicated priority and
IMSI-based dedicated priority are available based on the following conditions:

Issue 03 (2017-03-25) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 13


WCDMA RAN
IMSI-based Mobility Management for Multiple Operators
Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

l When all the following conditions are met, the SPID-based dedicated priority is
available:
– SPID-based mobility management is enabled: HO_SPID_MM_SWITCH under
HoSwitch1 (BSC6900, BSC6910) is selected.
– The RNC obtains the SPID of the UE.
– The SPID of the UE is configured with RatFreqPriorityGroupId (BSC6900,
BSC6910) and other related parameters.
– The dedicated priority set of the UMTS/LTE frequencies specified by
RatFreqPriorityGroupId (BSC6900, BSC6910) is not an empty set.
NOTE

For how the RNC obtains the SPID of a UE and related data configuration, see Flexible User
Steering Feature Parameter Description.
l When all the following conditions are met, the IMSI-based dedicated priority is
available:
– IMSI-based mobility management is enabled: HO_IMSI_MM_SWITCH under
HoSwitch2 (BSC6900, BSC6910) is selected.
– The RNC obtains the IMSI of the UE.
– The IMSI of the UE is included in the IMSI number segment specified by
ImsiGrpIndex (BSC6900, BSC6910).
– The IMSI number segment covering the IMSI of this UE is configured with
RatFreqPriorityGroupId (BSC6900, BSC6910) and other related parameters.
– The dedicated priority set of the UMTS/LTE frequencies specified by
RatFreqPriorityGroupId (BSC6900, BSC6910) is not an empty set.
In the preceding process, the RNC determines the UE capability based on the following
conditions:
l If the UE multi-mode/multi-RAT capability IE in the RRC CONNECTION SETUP
COMPLETE message carries "Support of E-UTRA FDD", the UE supports LTE FDD.
l If the UE multi-mode/multi-RAT capability IE in the RRC CONNECTION SETUP
COMPLETE message carries "Support of E-UTRA TDD", the UE supports LTE TDD.
l If the UE multi-mode/multi-RAT capability IE in the RRC CONNECTION SETUP
COMPLETE message carries "Support of GSM" and the value of "Support of GSM" is
"1", the UE supports GSM.
l If the RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message carries "Support for absolute
priority based cell re-selection in UTRAN", the UE supports UTRAN cell reselection
based on absolute priorities.
In the preceding process, the UE performs UMTS-to-GSM/UMTS/LTE cell reselection in
different methods. Details are as follows:

l Method 1: The UE performs cell reselection using the SPID-based dedicated priority.
For SPID-based mobility management in idle mode, see Flexible User Steering Feature
Parameter Description.
l Method 2: The UE performs cell reselection using the IMSI-based dedicated priority.
Based on the UE capability, the RNC sends the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION
message to the UE, carrying the dedicated priorities of the GSM cell group and

in the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message based on the UE capability. For


details, see Table 3-8.
Upon receiving the Dedicated Priority Information IE in the UTRAN MOBILITY
INFORMATION message, the UE removes the stored PRIORITY_INFO_LIST, stops
the T322 timer specified by T322 (BSC6910, BSC6900) (if it has been started), sets
"Priority status" in PRIORITY_INFO_LIST to dedicated_priority, and stores the
dedicated priority of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency in the Dedicated Priority
Information IE. A UE not in the CELL_DCH state obtains the cell reselection level
threshold of the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequency from SIB19 for performing priority-based
cell reselection. For details, see sections 8.6.7.23 "Dedicated Priority Information" and
8.1.1.6.19 "System Information Block type 19" in 3GPP TS 25.331 of V10.12.0.
NOTE

If the dedicated priority of the UMTS frequency in the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION
message is the highest, UMTS-to-LTE fast cell reselection does not take effect. For details about
UMTS-to-LTE fast cell reselection, see Interoperability Between UMTS and LTE Feature

IMSI-based mobility management process in idle mode. For details, see section 3.3 IMSI-
based Mobility Management in Idle Mode.
In addition, the RNC selects frequencies using different methods in different situations, and
the UE performs the UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handover using the current mechanism.
The RNC uses the following methods to select frequencies:
l Method 1
The RNC selects frequencies using the method in SPID-based mobility management in
connected mode. For details, see Flexible User Steering Feature Parameter Description
and Interoperability Between UMTS and LTE Feature Parameter Description.
l Method 2
The RNC selects frequencies based on the basic process of the UMTS-to-LTE PS
redirection or handover, without considering the SPID-based dedicated priority and
IMSI-based dedicated priority. For details, see Interoperability Between UMTS and LTE
Feature Parameter Description.
l Method 3
The RNC selects LTE frequencies in the measurement control message for the
measurement-based UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handover, and selects LTE
frequencies in the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message for the PS blind
redirection, using the same method considering the IMSI-based dedicated priority. For
details, see Interoperability Between UMTS and LTE Feature Parameter Description.
l Method 4
In cross-Iur scenarios, the RNC selects LTE frequencies using the IMSI-based dedicated
priority in the UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection based on the neighboring cell measurement.
Details are as follows:
a. The SRNC sends a RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message to the DRNC,
carrying the IMSI of a UE.
b. When the IMSI-based dedicated priority is available on the DRNC, the DRNC
sends frequencies of neighboring LTE cells to the SRNC in descending order of the
IMSI-based dedicated priority. The DRNC only sends frequencies with
U2LConnTargetFreqInd (BSC6900, BSC6910) in RatFreqPriorityGroupId
(BSC6900, BSC6910) corresponding to the IMSI of the UE set to TRUE. If any
one of the preceding conditions is not met, the DRNC does not consider the IMSI-
based dedicated priority.
c. When HO_IUR_U2L_REDIR_SWITCH under HoSwitch1 (BSC6900,
BSC6910) is selected and
HO_U2L_REDIR_BASED_ABSOLUTE_FREQ_SWITCH is not selected, the
SRNC chooses at most four LTE FDD frequencies and at most four LTE TDD
frequencies in descending order of the IMSI-based dedicated priority. The SRNC
chooses these frequencies from the frequencies for neighboring LTE cells sent from
the DRNC with U2LConnTargetFreqInd (BSC6900, BSC6910) set to TRUE and
supported by the UE. Then, the SRNC sends these LTE frequencies to the UE in a
MEASUREMENT CONTROL message. If any one of the preceding conditions is
not met, the SRNC does not send these LTE frequencies in the MEASUREMENT
CONTROL message.

The RNC selects LTE frequencies using the IMSI-based dedicated priority in cross-Iur
scenarios. Details are as follows:
a. The SRNC sends a RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message to the DRNC,
carrying the IMSI of a UE.
b. When the IMSI-based dedicated priority is available on the DRNC, the DRNC

one of the preceding conditions is not met, the DRNC does not consider the IMSI-
based dedicated priority.
c. The RNC selects frequencies using different methods depending on whether the
UMTS-to-LTE fast return is based on LTE measurement.
For the non-measurement-based UMTS-to-LTE fast return for CSFB users, when
HO_UMTS_TO_LTE_FAST_RETURN_SWITCH and
HO_IUR_U2L_FAST_RETURN_SWITCH under HoSwitch1 (BSC6900,
BSC6910) are selected, the SRNC chooses at most four LTE FDD frequencies and
at most four LTE TDD frequencies with priorities higher than those of the UMTS
serving cell. The SRNC chooses these frequencies in descending order of the IMSI-
based dedicated priority from the frequencies for neighboring LTE cells sent from
the DRNC with U2LConnTargetFreqInd (BSC6900, BSC6910) set to TRUE and
supported by the UE. Then, the SRNC sends these LTE frequencies to the UE in an
RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message. Otherwise, the SRNC does not send
these LTE frequencies in the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message.
For the measurement-based UMTS-to-LTE fast return for CSFB users or SRVCC
users, when HO_UMTS_TO_LTE_FAST_RETURN_SWITCH and
HO_IUR_U2L_REDIR_SWITCH under HoSwitch1 (BSC6900, BSC6910) are
selected, the SRNC chooses at most four LTE FDD frequencies and at most four

Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines

6 Engineering Guidelines

6.1 When to Use Mobility Management Based on IMSI for


Multiple Operators
This feature is recommended in scenarios where a roaming user in the UMTS network
expects to fast return to the GSM or LTE network of the operator to which the user belongs.
Users of different operators can be differentiated by IMSI number segments, and this feature
is recommended when the users in one IMSI number segment correspond to the same
mobility management policy.
It is recommended that this feature and WRFD-160270 Camp & Handover Based on SPID be
used together when users in one IMSI number segment are configured with different mobility
management policies.
This feature cannot be enabled if users of different operators cannot be differentiated by IMSI
number segments. In this case, WRFD-160270 Camp & Handover Based on SPID is
recommended.

6.2 Required Information


This feature can be enabled if all the following conditions are met (obtain the following
information before activating this feature):
l Check whether users of different operators can be differentiated by IMSI number
segments.
l Check whether users in one IMSI number segment use the same mobility management
policy. If no, check whether WRFD-160270 Camp & Handover Based on SPID is
required.
l Check whether the COMMON ID message and RELOCATION REQUEST message
sent by the MSC or SGSN to the RNC carries the IMSI of a UE.
l Check the UMTS or LTE frequencies that can be used by each IMSI number segment,
and plan the priorities of the UMTS or LTE frequencies in the SIB19 and UTRAN
MOBILITY INFORMATION message for each IMSI number segment.
l Check whether the priority-based UMTS-to-GSM cell reselection function is required. If
yes, check the GSM frequencies that can be used by each IMSI number segment, and

plan the GSM cell groups and priority of each cell group in the SIB19 and UTRAN
MOBILITY INFORMATION message for each IMSI number segment.

6.3 Network Planning

6.3.1 RF Planning
It is recommended that the same mobility management policy be configured for same users
among different RNCs. That is, the same IMSI-based dedicated priority is configured among
RNCs.

If different mobility management policies with IMSI-based dedicated priorities are configured
among RNCs:

l The RNC sends the Dedicated priority information IE through the UTRAN MOBIITY
INFORMATION message based on related configurations on the SRNC in cross-Iur
scenarios.
l It is recommended that different LACs be planned among RNCs so that the UE can
obtain the latest mobility management policy from the location area update and routing
area update procedures when the UE moves from one RNC to another.

If RAN Sharing or MOCN is enabled, the licensed value is allocated among the primary and
secondary operators according to the value of "License Allocation for Multiple Operators".
Method 1: It is recommended that the license allocation proportion of a feature be consistent
with that of the capacity license item "Voice Erlang-Erlang". The licensed values can be set by
running the SET LICENSE command. If the FeatureResAssignMode parameter in this
command is set to AutoAssign, the licensed values are automatically allocated among the
primary and secondary operators. If the FeatureResAssignMode parameter in this command
is set to ManualAssign, you also need to specify the related license parameters to implement
manual license allocation.
Method 2: It is recommended that the license allocation proportion of a feature be consistent
with that of the capacity license item "PS throughput only-kbps". The licensed values can be
set by running the SET LICENSE command. If the FeatureResAssignMode parameter in
this command is set to AutoAssign, the licensed values are automatically allocated among the
primary and secondary operators. If the FeatureResAssignMode parameter in this command
is set to ManualAssign, you also need to specify the related license parameters to implement
manual license allocation.

6.4.4.3 Using the CME


Based on the parameter configurations involved in 6.4.2 Data Preparation, perform the
following operations to activate this feature:

NOTE

When configuring the feature on the CME, perform a single configuration first, and then perform a batch
modification if required.
Configure the parameters of a single object before a batch modification. Perform a batch modification
before logging out of the parameter setting interface.

Step 1 Configure a single object (such as a cell) on the CME.

Set parameters listed in the table in "Data Preparation" section from top to bottom on the
CME. For instructions on how to perform the CME single configuration, see CME Single
Configuration Operation Guide.

Step 2 (Optional) Modify objects in batches on the CME. (CME batch modification center)

To modify objects in batches, click on the CME to start the batch modification wizard.
For instructions on how to perform a batch modification through the CME batch modification
center, press F1 while running the wizard to obtain online help.

To check whether a parameter supports batch modification, see the Remarks column in the
table in "Data Preparation" section.

----End

6.4.5 Activation Observation


The activation of this feature can be monitored by signaling tracing.

1. Use a UE to access a UMTS cell. If the Common ID message over the Iu interface
contains the Permanent NAS UE Identity IE, the CN delivers the IMSI of the UE.

Issue 03 (2017-03-25) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 33


WCDMA RAN
IMSI-based Mobility Management for Multiple Operators
Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines

2. Use the UE to initiate a CS or PS service in the UMTS cell and trigger cross-RNC
migration. If the Relocation Request message over the Iu interface contains the
Permanent NAS UE Identity IE, the CN delivers the IMSI of this UE.
3. After the UE accesses the UMTS cell or triggers the migration, if the UTRAN mobility
information message over the Uu interface contains the Dedicated priority Information
IE and this IE carries different dedicated priorities of GSM/UMTS/LTE frequencies
based on the IMSI and capability of the UE, this feature has taken effect.
4. After CSFB or SRVCC, if the RNC delivers different LTE frequencies to the UE through
the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE or MEASUREMENT CONTROL message, IMSI-
based UMTS-to-LTE fast return takes effect.
5. Use the UE to initiate a PS service in the UMTS cell, and then trigger a UMTS-to-LTE
PS blind redirection in the UMTS cell. If the RNC delivers different LTE frequencies to
UEs of different operators through the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message, IMSI-
based UMTS-to-LTE mobility management in the connected state takes effect during
UMTS-to-LTE PS blind redirection.
6. Use the UE to initiate a PS service in the UMTS cell, and then trigger measurement-
based UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handover. If the RNC delivers different LTE
frequencies to UEs of different operators through the MEASUREMENT CONTROL
message, IMSI-based UMTS-to-LTE mobility management in the connected state takes
effect during UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handover.

6.4.6.3 Using the CME


The method of feature deactivation using the CME is the same as that of feature activation
using the CME. For detailed operations, see 6.4.4.3 Using the CME.

6.4.7 Reconfiguration
In multimode and multi-band networking, if an operator adopts new modes or bands, you
need to add information about the new modes or bands to the IMSI-based mobility
management policy.
If an operator is recruited, you need to configure the IMSI number segment and the
corresponding mobility management policy for this operator.

6.5 Performance Monitoring


The performance of this feature can be monitored in drive tests when a UE returns to its
affiliated LTE network from a UMTS network by performing cell reselection, fast return, or
PS redirection.
In addition, PS handovers from the UMTS network to the affiliated LTE network initiated by
users of different operators can be monitored by related counters for neighboring cells in
UMTS-to-LTE PS handover features. For details, see Interoperability Between UMTS and
LTE Feature Parameter Description.

HO_MC_INTRAFREQ_1A_REPLACE_1C_SWITC
H: When this switch is set to ON, the RNC does not
send the 1C measurement control message to the UE.
When this switch is set to OFF, the RNC sends the 1C
measurement control message to the UE. This switch
is set to off by default.
26. HO_U2L_CONN_PRIO_SWITCH: Whether the
RNC considers connected-mode E-UTRA frequency
priorities specified by [UCELLNFREQPRIOIN-
FO:NPriorityConnect] during UMTS-to-LTE
handovers and redirections. When this switch is
turned on, the RNC performs measurement control
and target frequency selection based on the configured
connected-mode E-UTRA frequency priorities during
non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE handovers or
redirections, measurement-based CSFBs or SRVCC
fast returns, and blind CSFB or SRVCC fast returns.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not
consider connected-mode E-UTRA frequency
priorities in the preceding scenarios. In addition, this
switch controls whether the RNC performs target
frequency selection preferentially based on the
frequency priorities (including priorities of SPIDs,
IMSIs, and connected-mode E-UTRA frequencies)
after receiving an event 3C measurement report from
LTE during non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE
handovers or redirections and measurement-based
CSFB or SRVCC fast returns. When this switch is

fast return for an SRVCC UE whose CS service has
been released in the UMTS network. SRVCC is short
for single radio voice call continuity.When this switch
is set to ON, measurement-based UMTS-to-LTE fast
return can be triggered for an SRVCC UE whose CS
service has been released in the UMTS network.

HO_CSFB_BASED_MEAS_FAST_RETURN_SWIT
CH: Whether the RNC triggers the measurement-
based UMTS-to-LTE fast return for CSFB UEs after
their voice services are released on the UMTS
network. When this switch is turned on and the UE
supports LTE measurement, the UE triggers an LTE
measurement after its voice service is complete. After
the RNC receives the measurement report, the RNC
decides whether to trigger a U2L fast return based on
the measurement result. When this switch is turned
off, the RNC can perform only a blind fast return for
the UE.

cell after their voice services are released on the
UMTS network. When this switch is turned on, the
RNC sends a periodic intra-frequency measurement
control message to the UE, instructing the UE to
measure the RSCP of the best cell. If the RSCP of the
best cell reported by the UE is equal to or greater than
the value of U2LNCovRscpThd, the RNC will trigger
a blind fast return. Otherwise, the RNC will not
trigger the blind fast return. When this switch is

groups and cell types to the SRNC through proprietary
IEs carried in the Radio Link Setup Response or
Radio Link Addition Response message. Upon
reception of this information, the SRNC selects
appropriate neighboring GSM cells as the target cells
for inter-RAT handovers. When this switch is set to

cannot be initiated. When this switch is set to OFF, the
SRNC does not perform the preceding filtering.
25.
HO_MC_INTRAFREQ_1A_REPLACE_1C_SWITC
H: When this switch is set to ON, the RNC does not
send the 1C measurement control message to the UE.
When this switch is set to OFF, the RNC sends the 1C
measurement control message to the UE. This switch
is set to off by default.
26. HO_U2L_CONN_PRIO_SWITCH: Whether the
RNC considers connected-mode E-UTRA frequency
priorities specified by [UCELLNFREQPRIOIN-
FO:NPriorityConnect] during UMTS-to-LTE
handovers and redirections. When this switch is
turned on, the RNC performs measurement control
and target frequency selection based on the configured
connected-mode E-UTRA frequency priorities during
non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE handovers or
redirections, measurement-based CSFBs or SRVCC
fast returns, and blind CSFB or SRVCC fast returns.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not
consider connected-mode E-UTRA frequency
priorities in the preceding scenarios. In addition, this
switch controls whether the RNC performs target
frequency selection preferentially based on the
frequency priorities (including priorities of SPIDs,
IMSIs, and connected-mode E-UTRA frequencies)
after receiving an event 3C measurement report from
LTE during non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE
handovers or redirections and measurement-based
CSFB or SRVCC fast returns. When this switch is
turned on, the RNC selects a target frequency in
descending order of priorities. When this switch is
turned off, the RNC selects a target frequency in
descending order of signal quality.

HO_CSFB_BASED_MEAS_FAST_RETURN_SWIT
CH: Whether the RNC triggers the measurement-
based UMTS-to-LTE fast return for CSFB UEs after
their voice services are released on the UMTS
network. When this switch is turned on and the UE
supports LTE measurement, the UE triggers an LTE
measurement after its voice service is complete. After
the RNC receives the measurement report, the RNC
decides whether to trigger a U2L fast return based on
the measurement result. When this switch is turned
off, the RNC can perform only a blind fast return for
the UE.

UMTS network. When this switch is turned on, the
RNC sends a periodic intra-frequency measurement
control message to the UE, instructing the UE to
measure the RSCP of the best cell. If the RSCP of the
best cell reported by the UE is equal to or greater than
the value of U2LNCovRscpThd, the RNC will trigger
a blind fast return. Otherwise, the RNC will not
trigger the blind fast return. When this switch is
