LTE is all IP based network and mainly designed for internet/data applications.

Hence to support voice over LTE there are two options:

Using VOIP(voice over IP) with the help of IMS (IP Multimedia system)
Using legacy 2G/3G Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) with the concept
called SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity).

LTE Cell Search Procedure used by UE:

A cell search procedure is used by the UE to acquire time and frequency


synchronization with a LTE cell and UE detects the physical layer Cell ID (PCI)
of that cell.
Two cell search procedures in LTE: initial synchronization and detecting
neighbor cells in preparation for handover LTE uses a hierarchical cell search
scheme similar to WCDMA

LTE System Architecture Evolution

The basic architecture contains the following network elements.


1. LTE EUTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio)
2. LTE Evolved Packet Core.
