Dedicated bearer can be set or release by UE or PCRF
There is no exist UE context in E-UTRAN for UE in the ECM-IDLE state
but session and bearer context in MME,, S-GW,, P-GW is maintained.
UE state is switched to active when paging by service request or network

CSFB (Circuit Switch Fall Back)
MSC transmit Paging request to MME. Then It sends to UE through eNB.
Paging response is transmitted to CS domain. It provides voice service in CS domain.
MSC needs 3GPP Rel.8 support for interworking with MME.

The EPC supports redundancy of the board, process, interface, power supply, and
fan to enhance reliability and availability for the consistent and reliable service
service.

Redundant structure of LESA, LEDA
Redundancy : LESA, LEDA (2:1)
1) The fault detection block of the LEMA board periodically monitors the
status of all boards in a shelf using the hardware device information.
2) When an active board fails, a standby board detects the fault and switches
to the active board.

3) After fault is recovered, Active board is performed into Standby mode.

Redundant structure of LEMA
Redundancy : LEMA (1:1)
1) The two duplicated boards exchange the data required for the redundancy
through the redundant path between the boards.
2) When an active board fails, a standby board detects the fault and switches
to the active board.
