CSFB Delay Analysis and Optimization: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Huawei Confidential

Customer informed Huawei that the Call setup time for CSFB was high and requested to analyze and provide
recommendations to improve the delay. At the time of the request the CSFB strategy was to 2G, during the last
3 weeks Huawei RF department and China GSM / LTE HQ team have analyzed LTE and GSM network , tested
and showed the improvement in the network.
This report shares the analysis , troubleshooting, optimization and recommendations for the CSFB set up time
improvement
When the CSFB test was done , the call was setup was setup in GSM and as
shown the Mobile Originate Setup time was around 21.8 seconds and
Mobile Terminate Setup time was around 12.9 seconds.
The initial analysis was done on the LTE signaling to identify whether any
abnormal delay was present in the LTE network. The analysis showed that
there was no exceptional delay in the LTE network during CSFB , so the
focus was placed on the GSM network
One of the authentication process was class mark enquiry sent by BSC, which is not required as UE will report by itself
the class mark change. The BSC needs to send class mark enquiry if 2G to 3G voice handover is enabled, which is not
the case in Customer and most networks. As such it was suggested to modify this parameter
To further reduce the delay when the UE falls back to 2G , the optimization has been done and optimized parameter setting
has been provided. It is suggested that CSFB to 3G with Blind HO be used in areas where 3G coverage is good and service
steering be used in remaining areas.
