3 1 Feature Description 3

4 Feature Objectives Avoid detecting CSFB when UE is redirected by enodeb to UTRAN for another reason than CSFB o Radio problem (entering coverage alarm, below serving floor) o Offload reason (reactive load control, preventive load control) Detect CSFB when UE provides both Pre-redirection Info and CSFB Indication IE in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST 4

5 is based on UA Purpose of UA8.1 PM is to send UE back to LTE at CS call completion after RNC has detected that UE has connected for a CSFB reason CSFB is detected by RNC if «Pre-redirection Info» is not present in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST 3GPP 9.4+ : UE shall not include «Pre-redirection Info» in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST if redirected by LTE CSFB detection is based on the absence of «Pre-Redirection info» IE at RRC connection If UE is LTE capable: CsfbDetection is set to TRUE VS.CsfbDetectionInRrcConn++ Detection of fake CSFB If UE redirected by LTE for radio or load reason Side effect: UE Fast Returned to LTE if CS call is setup 5

6 added value CSFB is detected by RNC if optional «CSFB Indication» IE is present in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST 3GPP 9.11+: UE should include «CSFB Indication» in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST if redirected by LTE for CSFB UE CSFB detection is based on the presence of «CSFB Indication» IE at RRC connection If UE is LTE capable: Risk of non detection of true CSFB if UE not supporting «CSFB Indication» CsfbDetection is set to TRUE Side effect: UE not Fast Returned to LTE at CS call release VS.CsfbDetectionInRrcConn++ 6

7 Impact on CSFB Detection at RNC LTE -> 3G redirections CSFB Non-CSFB (radio, offload) LTE 3G No Pre-redirection Pre-redirection Info CSFB Indication CSFB Indication (C) No CSFB Indication (B) No CSFB Indication No Pre-redirection Info Pre-redirection Info CS Speech call (A) No CS Speech call CSFB Detection based on «Pre-redirection Info» not present «CSFB Indication» present Call is not a CS fallback, and feature mistakenly fast returns the UE UE does not support CSFB Indication, and does not fast return the UE UE provides both Pre-redirection Info & CSFB Indication, and fast returns the UE where does not 7

8 Feature Pros & Cons Gain UE Types [1] Pre CSFB Redirectio (csfbdetectionm Indication n Info ethod= presence present CsfbDeduction) 1 Yes (csfbdetectionm Comments ethod= CsfbIndication) No Redirect Redirect Common CSFB scenario of R9 UE. Most of R8 UE performs also this CSFB scenario. Yes No Redirect Redirect Few cases observed for both R8 and R9 UE CSFB. 3 supports CSFB indication No Redirect No Redirect Not a CSFB scenario. Common scenario for non-csfb redirections. Rare cases of speech call setup after a redirection from LTE has been performed for a non-csfb cause (radio, ofload). Main improvement is regarding interpretation of CSFB detection counter. Yes No Redirect No Redirect Not a CSFB scenario. Speech call setup scenario for UE camping on 3G. No Pros does not support CSFB indication No Redirect No Redirect Yes No Redirect No Redirect No Common scenario for non-csfb redirections of R8 UE not supporting CSFB indication IE. Rare cases of R9 UE CSFB. Still observed for a significant part of R8 UE CSFB. Not a normal CSFB scenario. Speech call setup scenario for UE camping on 3G. Can correspond to a CSFB performed in poor radiio conditions. Cons Gain is expected if feature is activated for R9 UE only (csfbdeductionandindication). [1] Actual Support of CSFB Indication IE is not know by RNC since it is an Optional R9 IE. Field observation showed that some R9 UE don t support it but also some R8 UE support it. 8

9 Two steps activation of the feature CSFB Indication optional IE has been introduced in R9 version 11 therefore lots of R8 UE currently on the field don t support it Feature is designed to be able to activate feature in two steps for R9+ UE only in a 1st step (the only step assessed in ORF FA) for any UE in a 2nd step (all UE supporting CSFB Indication IE) New parameter 1st step 2nd step CSFB Detection at RNC R8 UE R9+ UE "Pre-redirection "Pre-redirection csfbdeduction Info" not present Info" not present csfbdeductionandind "Pre-redirection "CSFB Indication" ication Info" not present present "CSFB Indication" "CSFB Indication" csfbindication present present csfbdetectionmethod 9

10 2 Interactions with other features and Upgrade rules 10

11 PM interactions with other features UA Fast Return to LTE at CS call completion Introduces the capability to redirect LTE capable UE at the end of a CSFB that was detected either as an RRCbased CSFB (at RRC CONNECTION without UE providing the Pre-redirection Info IE) or as a PS HO-based CSFB (at incoming 4G->3G RELOCATION REQUEST with Radio Network Layer Cause Extension IE = CS Fallback triggered ). The PM adds supplementary options on top of it. Required Feature. Strong interaction. UA LTE to UMTS PS HO and cell reselection enhancements Introduces the capability to detect an incoming PS HO-based CSFB call as a CS speech call that is setup in a TmaxDelayForCsCallEstablishment time period after an incoming 4G->3G RELOCATION REQUEST with Radio Network Layer Cause Extension IE = CS Fallback triggered has been successfully performed. Recommended Feature. No interaction but gain of is less when is enabled as most of the CSFB scenario will be PS HO-based and brings improvement for RRC-based CSFB only. UA imcta Enhanced - Redirection to LTE sub-feature Introduces the capability to trigger a redirection to LTE on AO downsize from DCH to FACH or xpch. Recommended Feature. No interaction but of interest if was not triggered due to non-detection of CSFB. UA imcra Step 2 Introduces the capability to redirect to LTE an LTE capable UE at RRC CONNECTION with UE providing the Preredirection Info IE. Recommended Feature for LTE capable UE camping on 3G and connecting from Idle mode for PS service. Interaction with in the sense that in LR14.2W RNC does not trigger redirection to LTE if UE provides 11 CSFB Indication IE in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST

12 At upgrade to LR14.2W, the new parameter will get the following value : RadioAccessService::csfbDetectionMethod = CsfbDeduction 12

13 3 Activation Strategy in ORF Network 13

14 The NodeB cluster included 13 sites upgraded in LR14.2W and 6 sites that were still in LR13.3W but feature was activated on these 19 sites as it is managed at RNC level. # RNC ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 ORLEANSV 1 enodeb CHATEAUROUX_OMELON CHATEAUROUX_MADRON Release LR14.2W LR14.2W LR14.2W CHATEAUROUX_ZI_EST CHATEAUROUX_CHRISTOP LR14.2W HE CHATEAUROUX_ETATS_UNI LR14.2W S CHATEAUROUX_DEOLS MONTS_RIPAULT LR14.2W LR14.2W ORLEANSV1 CHATEAUROUX_CENTRE CHATEAUROUX_CITE_GD_CH ORLEANSV1 AMPS CHATEAUROUX_CITE_ST_JEA ORLEANSV1 N ORLEANSV1 CHATEAUROUX_FT ORLEANSV1 ISSOUDUN_BASQUE_SFR ORLEANSV1 ISSOUDUN_BEL_AIR LR14.2W ISSOUDUN_HOPITAL CHATEAUROUX_PINGAUDIE LR14.2W 14 RE LR13.3W LR13.3W LR13.3W LR13.3W LR13.3W LR13.3W

16 4 Assessment Fast Return Time 16

17 Fast Return Time check (1/3) Live tests were performed in order to compute the 3G->LTE Fast Return Time and compare it to the value commited with ORF. Two kinds of tests were performed : TC11:CSFB-Release-FR-To-LTE when csfbdetectionmethod = csfbdeductionandindication Start a CS call on 4G, UE will fallback to 3G, when releasing the CS the UE Fast Returns to LTE TC14:CSFB-PS-Release-FR-To-LTE when csfbdetectionmethod=csfbdeductionandindication Start a CS call on 4G, UE will fallback to 3G, add a PS call on 3G, release CS, UE Fast Returns to LTE while PS traffic is ongoing on LTE Two kinds of UE were used : Samsung N4 : R9 supporting CSFB Indication IE Samsung S3 : R8 not supporting CSFB Indication IE Fast Return time were measured from two different perspectives: User perspective, preferred by ORF, time between Disconnect message on 3G and Tracking Area Update Complete on LTE Network perspective, preferred by ALU, time between last RRC Connection Release message on 3G and Tracking Are Update Request on LTE 17

20 5 Assessment - Performance 20

21 Improvement of Fast Return rate thanks to the decrease of the difference between number of CSFB detected and number of Fast Return trigerred, because LTE->3G redirections of R9+ UE for non-csfb causes are not anymore detected as CSFB by RNC 21

22 Fast Rate improvement is correlated with difference between CSFB Detected and Fast Return 22

23 New screenings of CSFB Detected from CSFB Indication IE are pegged (R9 UE CSFB) 23

24 New counters are pegged, CS Voice RAB Setup Success Rate is very good No CS Voice RAB setup for CSFB in Relocation as PS HO LTE->3G is not activated 24

25 New counters are pegged, CS Voice RAB Drop Rate is very good No CS Voice RAB drop for CSFB in Relocation as PS HO LTE->3G is not activated 25

26 First CS RRC Connection Success Rate globally stable with more variations after activation 26

27 CS Call Setup Success Rate globally stable with more variations after activation 27

28 First PS RRC Connection Success Rate globally stable with a temporary degradation on march period 28

29 PS Call Setup Success Rate globally stable with less variations after activation 29

30 CS Call Drop globally stable with more variations after activation 30

31 PS Call Drop globally stable 31

32 DL PS Traffic globally stable the week after activation and increased after vacation (march 9) 32

33 UL PS Traffic globally stable the week after activation and increased after vacation (march 9) 33

34 HSDPA Throughput globally stable after activation with more stability and an increase after vacation time (march 10) 34

35 HSUPA Throughput globally stable 35

36 7 Lessons learned from Call Trace 36

37 RNC call trace CTg trace on RNC ORLEANSV1 on Thursday 12th March evening (8pm) CS Speech calls traced for any UE type Focus on the 1346 LTE capable UE speech calls Analysis of these calls based on the combination of o Pre-redirection Info IE o CSFB Indication IE Goals were to assess : Distribution of R8/R9 LTE capable UE Percentage of R9 UE not supporting «CSFB Indication» IE Percentage of R9 UE calls where both IE are provided by UE Percentage of R8 UE supporting «CSFB Indication» IE 37

38 Distribution of R8/R9 LTE capable UE From all LTE capable UE speech calls : 87% R9-13% R R8 (86.78%) R8 UE (86.78%) 178 R9 (13.22%) R9 UE (13.22%) 1346 calls Assumption for R8/R9 distribution of LTE->3G redirections 38

39 Percentage of R9 UE not supporting «CSFB Indication» IE 2% of R9 UE not supporting «CSFB Indication» (2/92) corresponding to 1.5% of CSFB detected (2/146) 1346 calls R9 UE 178 calls 109 IMSI CSFB Detection based on Pre-redirection Info 146 calls 92 IMSI «Pre-redirection Info» not present CSFB Indication 144 calls 90 IMSI CSFB Indication 2 calls 2 IMSI -2 «CSFB Indication» present Non-detection of the 2 CSFB above is mitigated by the new detection of some other CSFB scenario (see next page) 39

40 R9 UE calls where both IE are provided by UE 4 calls observed with «Pre-redirection Info» and «CSFB Indication» IE provided by UE these 4 calls mitigate the 2 non-csfb detections 32 Pre-redirection Info 1346 calls «Pre-redirection Info» not present R9 UE 178 calls 146 Pre-redirection Info «CSFB Indication» present 4 CSFB Indication 28 CSFB Indication CSFB Indication 2 CSFB Indication -2 This call scenario is probably due to engaged CSFB as per UE perspective but for which the LTE->3G redirection is not properly completed RRC CONNECTION RELEASE with «redirectedcarrierinfo» not received by UE 40

41 R8 UE supporting «CSFB Indication» IE Lots of R8 UE do support R9 «CSFB Indication» IE : 75% of Detected CSFB still 25% or R8 UE do not (243/990) 178 Pre-redirection Info 1346 calls «Pre-redirection Info» not present R8 UE 1168 calls 990 Pre-redirection Info «CSFB Indication» present 4 CSFB Indication CSFB Indication 747 CSFB Indication 243 CSFB Indication Network is not mature enough to activate feature for R8 UE as well 41

42 8 Limitations 42

43 Feature limitations Poor LTE coverage In case of poor LTE coverage or LTE cells loaded, probability of a failure during the redirection to LTE may increase o 3G->LTE RRC redirection being triggered in blind mode (not measurement based) o If no suitable cell on indicated LTE frequency(ies) is found within 10s, an attempt to camp on any suitable cell on any other available LTE frequencies is applicable. o If no LTE coverage is available, UE can spend up to 20s searching for LTE, before coming back to 3G. For such areas, reselection should be preferred, avoiding a potential 20s period when UE cannot be paged nor perform traffic. A way to avoid this would be to deactivate the feature on 3G cells in areas with poor LTE coverage «Redirection to LTE on AO Downsize» can also be disabled on those cells 43

44 Feature limitations Non global activation of Fast Return In case Fast Return to LTE feature (134661) is not activated on the whole RNS, some UE, the ones having performed a CSFB, will not be redirected to LTE if CS call completion takes place after a Primary Cell Change to a cell where FRtoLTE is not activated This will degrade the Fast Return Success Rate A way to avoid this would be to activate the feature on all 3G cells of same RNS for which we know that LTE coverage is good enough on the same serving area As for LR13.3W, FRtoLTE is still not triggered after Iur mobility o Inter-RNS Primary Cell Change o SRNS relocation scenario These two scenarios will be covered by LR15.3W feature Fast Return to LTE Enhancements 44

45 9 Conclusion 45

46 Conclusion UE traces have shown that feature behaves as expected New counters were pegged Feature Pros & Cons : + no CSFB detection for non-csfb LTE->3G redirection => no Fast Return if subsequent non-csfb CS call ends on 3G + Fast Return if both «Pre-redirection Info» & «CSFB Indication» are provided by UE - CSFB not detected and Fast Return not triggered if UE does not provide «CSFB Indication» : R8 UE : mitigated by choosing CsfbDeductionAndIndication instead of CsfbIndication R9 UE : limited by the low quantity of such UE and availability of «Redirection to LTE on AO Downsize» feature 46

51 Test on Live Network Live tests objectives were to o Execute some functional test cases on the live context o Compute the Fast Return Time The Fast Return Time Computation has been done with the following hypothesis: Test11 & 14 were repeated several times, UE logs collected and information on 3G-4G transition time was extracted Fast Return time were measured from two different perspectives: User perspective, preferred by ORF, time between Disconnect message on 3G and Tracking Area Update Complete on LTE Network perspective, preferred by ALU, time between last RRC Connection Release message on 3G and Tracking Are Update Request on LTE LR14.2W NodeB tests have been done on Chateauroux Christophe site LR13.3W NodeB tests have been done on Chateauroux FT site Several roaming drives have been done in Chateauroux with both Samsung N4 and S3 51

52 Local Field Configuration Impacts It has been observed on the FA area that some FRtoLTE were not triggered after CSFB in the following scenario : LTE to 3G CSFB was performed on a 3G site A CSFB was detected and counted as such on site A UE moved to another site when connected to 3G CS call was completed on a 3G site B where FRtoLTE was not triggered FRtoLTE was not triggered due to one of the following causes : 3G site B coverage was not overlapped by sufficient LTE coverage Fast Return feature was not activated on 3G site B Consequence was a bigger difference at NodeB cluster level between o the number of CSFB detected o the number of Fast Return triggered 52
