Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) Core Network and RAN
• CSFB involves the delivery of a page for a cdma2000 voice call to a device operating on LTE
• Uses tunneled signaling to the UE across the S102 interface between the IWS and MME. This supports: – CSFB, eCSFB (voice) – SMS
cdma2000 Technology Webinar
eCSFB (Enhanced CSFB) is an enhanced form of CSFB that shortens the time to setup the call on cdma2000 1x.
June 19,2013
CSFB
• Page sent to IWS. • IWS sends page to UE
via MME and eNodeB using S102.
• UE moves to 1x. • UE sends a normal
page response on the 1x access channel.
• Call proceeds.

SMS
• MT-SMS – SMS are sent via S102
to the UE – UE does not leave LTE.
• MO-SMS – SMS are sent via S102
from the UE – UE does not leave LTE.

Two methods available: • OtherRATNeighborList Message
– Broadcasted message – Contains E-UTRAN information for AT to search for E-
UTRAN system • Threshold
• InterRATRedirect – Unicasted message – Contains E-UTRAN redirection information
• InterRAT= Inter Radio Access Technology

1. AT active on eHRPD
8. UE performs Handoff/Attach to E-UTRA
E-UTRA
9. Search more E-UTRA channel or go back to eHRPD based on MMSS rules (conditional)
5. The eAN decides to redirect the eAT
7. The eAT retunes to E-UTRA
2. The eAN decides to determine E-

SAP functionalities
• Records the current air interface (HRPD or non-HRPD) • Provides a virtual connection service between the access
terminal and the access network over the S101 tunnel • Provides encapsulation of HRPD packets over S101 • Triggers idle and active handoffs from LTE to eHRPD • It has a control plane as well as a user plane functionality

Changes to MAC and PHY Layer
• Initial output power calculation –X0 = - Mean RX Power (dBm) + OpenLoopAdjust + PilotInitialAdjust
where: PilotInitialAdjust = InitialAdjust + min(PilotStrengthCorrectionMax, max(PilotStrengthNominal – PilotStrength, PilotStrengthCorrectionMin)),
–This is necessary due to lack of access probe power correction.
