Need for Inter-RAT
LTE, primarily was available only in hot spots, hence mobility
across radio access technology is essential.
Non real-time data should not be lost during the handoverprocedure.
Tearing down and setting up new connection may cause
significant degradation of user experience.

What is I-RAT Handover
Inter RAT HO is network controlled through source accesssystem.
The source access system decides about starting thepreparation and provides the necessary information to the
target system in the format required by the target system. The handover execution is decided in the source system.
Inter RAT HO is backwards handover, i.e. radio resources areprepared in the target 3GPP access system before the UE iscommanded by the source 3GPP access system

What is I-RAT Handover(cont.)
To enable backwards handover, a control interface exists in CN
level. In Inter RAT HO involving E-UTRAN access, this interface
is between 2G/3G SGSN and corresponding MME/Serving
Gateway
The target access system will be responsible for giving exact
guidance for the UE on how to make the radio access there.
This information is given during the handover preparation
and should be transported completely transparently through
the source access system to the UE

What is I-RAT Handover(cont.)
The handover procedure should not require any UE to CN
signalling in order for data to start to flow in the target
system. This requires that the security context, UE capability
context and QoS context is transferred within the networkbetween source and target system

LTE to UMTS IRAT Handover
The source eNodeB connects to the S-MME and S-SGW while
the target RNC connects to the T-SGSN and T-SGW
Source and target SGWs connect to the same PGW
Procedure is divided into:- Preparation
- Resources are reserved in the target network
- Execution
-The UE is handed over to the target network fromthe source network.

Preparation Phase (cont.)
Once the inter-RAT handover is decided at the S-eNB based
on the measurement report procedure, it prepares and sends
a HANDOVER REQUIRED message to the S-MME.
The S-MME detects that it is an Inter-RAT handover from the
message contents, retrieves the target SGSN details from the
database based on the information in the message. It now
prepares and sends a FORWARD RELOCATION REQUEST to
the T-SGSN
The T-SGSN detects the change of SGW and creates thebearer resources in the T-SGW by initiating the CREATE
SESSION procedure

Preparation Phase (cont.)
Once the resources are reserved at the T-SGW, it responds tothe T-SGSN with a GTP: CREATE SESSION RESPONSE message.
The T-SGSN now reserves the resources at the T-RNC bysending a RANAP: RELOCATION REQUEST message to it
The T-RNC reserves the radio resources and responds to theT-SGSN with a RANAP: RELOCATION REQUEST ACK message.
The T-SGSN creates the indirect data forwarding tunnels inthe T-SGW for the DL packets transfer from the S-SGW to T-SGW during the handover

Preparation Phase (cont.)
After the Indirect Data forwarding tunnel creation, the T-SGSN
responds with a GTP: FORWARD RELOCATION RESPONSE
message to the S-MME.
The S-MME has to create the indirect data forwarding tunnels
as the resources are reserved successfully in the target
network to forward the DL packets to the target network.
With this, the preparation phase is complete.

Execution Phase (cont.)
The S-MME sends the HANDOVER COMMAND message to the
S-eNB with the target to source transparent container (i.e., it
has the reserved resource information at the target).
The S-eNB prepares and sends the MOBILITY FROM EUTRA
COMMAND message to prepare the UE for the handover
toward the target network.
After accessing the target UMTS cell, the UE sends a HO TO
UTRAN COMPLETE message to the T-RNC signaling the
successful handover.

Execution Phase (cont.)
The S-eNB forwards the DL data packets toward the T-SGW via theS-SGW during the handover. This step can happen any time after itreceives the S1AP HANDOVER COMMAND message from the S-MME. This step is executed in case a direct forwarding path is not
available with the T-RNC, otherwise it will forward the DL datapackets to the T-RNC directly.
Once the T-RNC detects the UE in its area, it notifies the T-SGSNabout the completion of the handover by sending a RANAP:
RELOCATION COMPLETE message. The S-MME acknowledges thismessage and proceeds with release of the resources associatedwith this UE at the S-SGW and S-eNB

Execution Phase (cont.)
The T-SGSN modifies the E-RAB resources at the T-SGW by
initiating the GTP MODIFY BEARER procedure.
The T-SGW notifies the bearer parameters with the PGW by
initiating the GTP MODIFY BEARER procedure
