Major Deployment Options of LTE Voice


IMS based LTE voice VoLTE
(LTE for data & voice) Provide voice service based on LTE network, support inter-work with 2G/3G
Rich services experience

Less connection time than CS >3 times frequency efficiency

LTE voice solution

CS fallback
Attach LTE first, switch to CS for voice

Fast supply basic voice service for LTE users Longer connection time

Reuse CS
LTE for data only

SVLTE
Attach to 2G/3G & LTE simultaneously, 2G/3G for voice

Less impact to network High cost & power consumption of terminal Traditional service in CS

Function Description
Support 2G/3G/4G subscription data. Convergent HSS for 2G/3G/4G recommended to get a simple user data management Support CSFB function, or deploy a new MSC as CSFB proxy No requirements if using R8 Redirection fallback mechanism 1. Support sending the page response to MSC when the page request sent by MME, not through the BSC/RNC 2. Support 3GPP R8 phase and can broadcast 4G adjacent area information 3. Fast return to LTE after CS service is recommended to be triggered by BSC/RNC for better user experience NA Support FNR(flexible number routing) function while using different HLR/HSS for 2G/3G and 4G user All the new MME should support CSFB and select a MSC in the Pool base on IMSI-Hash Support CSFB function and R8 redirection fallback mechanism in blind mode at least 1. Support sending data to HSS or HLR based on the users type. If the user is 4G, the data should send to HSS and STP with FNR. if the user is 2G/3G ,the data should send to HLR 2. Delete the 3G /2G data in HLR when user upgrade to 4G in HSS 3. Reuse existing CS for LI and charging

Different mechanisms result in different call set-up delays and deployment 3GPP R8 redirection recommended for fast deployment without extra requirements on BSC/RNC 3GPP R9 redirection with SIB(2) and PSHO recommended considering less latency

1. Provision system send data to HSS or HLR based on the users type. For 4G user, all data is sent to HSS, for 2G/3G user, the data is sent to HLR 2. 2G/3G data in HLR is deleted when user upgraded to 4G

Flexible Number Routing for CSFB provisioning


1. STP should be enhanced with flexible number routing between 2G/3G(including fallback user) and 4G user 2. Routing data is updated to STP when 4G user provisioning 3. STP route service message to HLR or HSS based on FNR 4. Support 4G migration without changing number in 2G/3G with FNR

Keep existing HLR no change for legacy 2G/3G user

Description
At the end of a CSFB call in GSM/UMTS network, the frequency information of LTE cell is sent in RRC Connection Release message in order to instruct the UE to camp on the LTE cell instead of cell re-selection to LTE.

Benefits
This feature accelerate the camping back to LTE after voice call release and reduce unreachable time of LTE user
Avoid the impact to non-CSFB user(e.g. UE may be out of network when trying to access LTE for about 10 seconds)

Some customer feedbacks sharing


2012.12 Holland KPN, CSFP Proxy deployment
Dear Victor, I would like to take this opportunity to formally express my appreciation to you and your team for the effort and excellent performance within the LTE program of KPN. Furthermore I want to congratulate you and your team with the current result. During the last couple of months we discussed the performance of the Huawei EPC team on several different management levels and I want to express how pleased KPN is with the efforts and achievements of the Huawei team. Huawei delivered the EPC project in the shortest timeline possible. All milestones are met on time or even before the deadline. The Huawei project team has shown tremendous commitment and perseverance in realizing project targets and requirements and succeeded in delivering this strategic project for KPN in a very controlled manor. I am also very pleased by way the Huawei project team members interacted with the KPN project members. All Huawei team members demonstrated great professionalism and maintained a pleasant constructive attitude during formal and informal discussions. I look forward to continue working with Huawei project team in the next steps of the project and I have full confidence we will be successful again. ---Rob Geurts, Program manager

Case DNA
Challenges: To win the competition edge, KPN needs to deploy commercial LTE voice network within 3 months as the surging of smart phones capable of CS fallback. Huawei solutions: 1 MSS as CSFB Proxy is deployed over the existing core network to meet the TTM, which has no impacts on existing BSS, OSS and LI. Benefits: 1) Reusing CS to provide voice/SMS service and saving CAPEX in the initial LTE phase 2) Fast launch of LTE voice before commercial VOLTE and win the competition edge
