Introduction
 SRVCC is a solution aimed at providing continuous voice
services on LTE networks.

 The SRVCC technology is used to ensure voice service continuity


when a single-radio UE is handed over from the E-UTRAN/EPC
to the UTRAN or GERAN.

Common Causes
 Several factors may trigger SRVCC to UTRAN.

SRVCC trigger Scenario
 SRVCC Trigger Scenario
 coverage caused
 Trigger in EUTRAN cell edge with B1 event.

 load caused
 EUTRAN is high load, and UTRAN neighbour cell is low load.

 service caused
 Totally 3 modes can be configured by MOD
ServiceIrHoCfgGroup.InterRatHoState for each QCI: NO_HO,
PERMIT_HO, MUST_HO. If QCI1 is configured to MUST_HO, eNB will
trigger SRVCC procedure once UE setup QCI1.

SRVCC Procedure

PS service continuity
 PS service continuity
 UE & UTRAN support “CS+PS” SRVCC.
 MME initiate the HO prepare procedure of voice bearer and PS
bearer to MSC and SGSN respectively.

 UE or UTRAN only support “CS only” SRVCC.


 MME only initiate the HO prepare procedure to MSC for voice bearer.

 PS service will resume in UTRAN by RAU (Routing Area Update)


procedure.

SRVCC Selection Procedure
 SRVCC is one of the policies on
E-UTRAN to GERAN handover.
Other policies include PS
handover, CCO/NACC,
redirection, and flash redirection;
their selection procedures are
described in Inter-RAT Mobility
Management in Connected

 Enabling the SRVCC Flexible Steering to UTRAN Feature:
 Perform all configurations for “SRVCC to UTRAN feature”
 Add UTRAN neighbour cell

 Switch on SRVCC to UTRAN: MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH: HoModeSwitch :


UtranSrvccSwitch-10

 Add an inter-RAT handover policy group: ADD INTERRATPOLICYCFGGROUP: UtranHoCfg:


SRVCC

 Configure the settings of a standardized QCI1 policy group: MOD STANDARDQCI: Qci: QCI1

 Configure enable the UTRAN hierarchy-based measurement algorithm and


SRVCC flexible steering switch

 Configure voice service priority for the neighboring cell on the UTRAN
frequency

Verification – SRVCC to UTRAN
 The SRVCC feature is efficient when the
L.IRATHO.SRVCC.E2W.PrepAttOut start to count;

 The following counters can evaluate the successful rate of SRVCC to


UTRAN, and insulate the issue if there is failure
