1. SRVCC from LTE to UMTS with PS Handover


Sample Script

//Activating the SRVCC from LTE to UMTS with PS Handover feature

SET URRCTRLSWITCH: PROCESSSWITCH2=L2U_SRVCC_WITH_PS_HO_SWITCH-1;

//Setting the timer for another relocation request in the CS and PS domains

SET USTATETIMER: IRatHoWaitPSRelocReqTmr=3000,IRatHoWaitCSRelocReqTmr=5000;

//Enabling the CS-domain key to be used during the combined service relocation

SET URRCTRLSWITCH: OptimizationSwitch4=SRVCC_RELOC_IN_USE_CS_KEY_SWITCH-1;

//Setting the encryption key supported by the CS, PS, RNC, and UEs for combined service relocations

SET URRCTRLSWITCH: OptimizationSwitch8= SRVCC_RELOC_IN_CIPHER_OPT_SWITCH;

//Setting the method of delivering the security mode command for combined services

SET URRCTRLSWITCH: OptimizationSwitch8= CSPS_SYS_HO_IN_SMC_SWITCH-1&SYS_HO_RELOC_CMP_OPT_SWITCH-1;

//Activating the SRVCC for emergency calls

SET UFRC: L2USRVCCEmerCallARP=1;

//Enabling the PS admission reattempt with a reduced rate upon the failure of a PS service in combined services

SET UCORRMPARA: PerfEnhanceSwitch7=PERFENH_CSPS_IRAT_HO_FAIL_RETRY_SWITCH-1;

//Enabling the CS only handover for combined services upon expiry of the timer

SET URRCTRLSWITCH: PROCESSSWITCH5=L2U_SRVCC_PS_TIMEOUT_CS_RELOC_IN_SWITCH-1;

//(Optional) Enabling the CS only service admission in case of admission failures of combined services
SET UALGORSVPARA: RsvSwitch16=RESERVED_SWITCH_16_BIT6-1;

//(Optional) Configuring the CS RB reconfiguration activation time offset

SET URNCTIMEPARA: ActTimeOffValForSRVCC=160;

//Configuring the rate at which the non-real-time PS service is admitted during a combined service handover

SET UFRC: NRTInitRateforL2U-1, NRTInitRateforL2U=DCH8K;

Activation (Using MML Commands)

1. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to activate the feature. In this
step, L2U_SRVCC_WITH_PS_HO_SWITCH under Process Control Switch 2.

2. Run the RNC MML command SET USTATETIMER with Inter-RAT HO PS Relocation Request Wait Timer and Inter-RAT
HO CS Relocation Request Wait Timer set to appropriate values.

3. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with SRVCC_RELOC_IN_USE_CS_KEY_SWITCH selected under
the Optimization Switch4 parameter so that the CS-domain key can be used during the SRVCC combined service
relocation.

4. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with SRVCC_RELOC_IN_CIPHER_OPT_SWITCH selected
under Optimization Switch8 so that the encryption algorithm is supported by the CS, PS, RNC, and UEs.

5. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with CSPS_SYS_HO_IN_SMC_SWITCH selected under Optimization
Switch 8 so that the RNC delivers the security mode commands of the CS domain and the PS domain to implement
integrity protection.

6. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with SYS_HO_RELOC_CMP_OPT_SWITCH selected
under Optimization Switch 8 so that the RNC delivers the Relocation Complete message after receiving the Handover to
UTRAN Complete message and finishing integrity protection. This mechanism further increases the handover success
rate.

7. Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMPARA and


select PERFENH_CSPS_IRAT_HO_FAIL_RETRY_SWITCH under Performance Enhance Switch 7 so that the RNC can
reattempt the admission with a reduced rate when the PS service in combined services fails to be admitted by the
UMTS network during an SRVCC handover.

8. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH and


select L2U_SRVCC_PS_TIMEOUT_CS_RELOC_IN_SWITCH under Process Control Switch 5 so that the RNC allows an
incoming CS handover when it only receives a RELOCATION REQUEST message from the CS domain but does not receive
the RELOCATION REQUEST message within a specific timer for an SRVCC UE who performs combined services.

9. (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC with ARP for Emergency Call During L2U SRVCC set to an appropriate
value.

10. (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UALGORSVPARA with RESERVED_SWITCH_16_BIT6 under Reserved
Parameter 16 selected to ensure that the RNC attempts admission of CS only services when the number of RABs
allocated to the admitted combined services exceeds the allowed maximum specification for a UMTS cell during LTE to
UMTS handovers of combined services.

11. (Optional) When RAN Sharing or MOCN is enabled, run the RNC MML command SET LICENSE to set the SRVCC from LTE
to UMTS with PS Handover-Erlang and SRVCC from LTE to UMTS with PS Handover-kbps parameters for the primary
and secondary operators.

12. (Optional) When the activation time of the RB reconfiguration in the CS domain expires for the SRVCC UEs that have
been handed over to the UMTS network, configure the CS RB reconfiguration activation time offset by running the RNC
MML command SET URNCTIMEPARA with the ActTimeOffValForSRVCC parameter specified.
13. (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC with the Initial Rate Type for Income L2U HO of NRT
Service parameter specified to configure the rate at which the non-real-time PS service is admitted.

 If Initial Rate Type for Income L2U HO of NRT Service is set to OFF, the non-real-time PS service is admitted at
the initial data rate.

 If Initial Rate Type for Income L2U HO of NRT Service is set to DCH0K, DCH8K, or DCH8KHSDPA, the non-real-
time PS service is admitted at the configured data rate.
