The CS Fallback (CSFB) voice call solution is one of the major voice over long
term evolution (VoLTE) solutions. During evolution of mobile broadband voice
calls, this solution is considered as the optimal solution in the industry to
provide the LTE voice call service with use of the CS network at the early stage
of the LTE. This solution helps operators to seize market opportunities.
The CSFB is critical to operators owning the LTE network.

Huawei CS Fallback solution document describes the principle,

networking, service interaction, and network reconstruction of the
CSFB solution.

is faulty.

MTRR and MTRF The CS Fallback solution document describes differences between two
solutions and provides deployment recommendations and message flows.

As illustrated in the figure

above, the CSFB solution
comprises the Mobile

Terminating Roaming
Forwarding (MTRF)
solutions.

The CS Fallback solution document compares the previous fallback

CSFB fallback solutions and provides the delay analysis of these solutions in a table.

The CSFB can be

implemented in five
modes in terms of
UE and network
capabilities:
(1) PS handover-
enabled CSFB
(2) Redirection-
enabled CSFB
(3) R8 CCO with
NACC

Delay and delay optimization solutions in the CSFB and CSFB Proxy solutions.

The delay is an
important network
indicator in the CSFB

network evolution solutions and redundancy
mechanisms for the CSFB and CSFB Proxy solutions.

You can select an evolution networking solution based on actual conditions of the live
network to quickly deploy the LTE network.

Introduction to CSFB and CSFB Proxy
Services
The CS Fallback solution document introduces you to message flows
of major services when the CSFB and CSFB Proxy solutions are
implemented. This helps you learn the fallback flows of voice calls.
