LTE eHRPD Handoff • Optimized Handoff • Involves the use of S101 and S103 to minimize the gap in packet flow to reach the goal of < 300 ms. • Signaling changes on the air interface to support S101 based tunneling. • UE establishes context on eHRPD by signaling over S101. • eNodeB (via the MME) and eAN coordinate the handoff. • Non-Optimized Handoff • The UE leaves LTE coverage, attaches to eHRPD, builds context, and resumes packet flow. • Support in LTE to direct the handoff and provide eHRPD parameters. • Latency can be several seconds.
eHRPD LTE Idle Hand-Up • LTE neighbor information is provisioned and broadcast by the eHRPD network. • Reduce searches for LTE pilots. • Minimize the device battery power consumption. • Uses reselection (idle handoff) parameters and procedures. • Similar parameters and procedures will be used for idle hand-up from 1x to LTE. • eHRPDLTE active Hand-Up has not been defined by 3GPP.

LTE – 1x CSFB • LTE can be configured for Data, while Voice services are provided on cdma2000 1x. • LTE uses the S102 interface to transparently pass cdma2000® 1x signaling to and from the cdma2000 1x system. • Includes support for: • Registration • Paging for Mobile Terminated Calls • SMS cdma2000® is the trademark for the technical nomenclature for certain specifications and standards of the Organizational Partners (OPs) of 3GPP2. Geographically (and as of the date of this presentation), cdma2000® is a registered trademark of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA-USA) in the United States.
LTE – 1x SRVCC • Single Radio Voice Call Continuity anchors a voice call in IMS. • Call is transferred from the packet environment to the MSC-based circuit environment. • Control is maintained in IMS. • May reduce latency in voice call handoff from packet to circuit. • Being considered for cdma2000 1x voice call originations and terminations via S102 to reduce delays.
Future Work • 3GPP2 will continue to support operators that choose to deploy LTE technologies. • 3GPP2 will continue to cooperate with 3GPP to enhance: • eHRPD – LTE interworking • LTE – 1x CSFB / SRVCC • Features made possible by LTE interworking. • Features made possible by attachment to EPC.
