• For this IRAT testing, the UMTS network was changed to 2 digit MNC
– the same as the 2G network.
• After the testing, the UMTS network was reverted back to 3 digit
MNC.
• The way forward is to standardize the MNC length to ensure that
both UMTS and GSM networks have the same length MNC for
successful IRAT handovers.
