GUL interworking strategy

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

UL/GL inter RAT and LTE inter-frequency layering strategy

Basic principle:
1 Push traffic from 3G to LTE
2 Keep more user on L2600 rather than L1800
3 Set higher L2U handover trigger threshold for Volte user to avoid
call drop
4 Push users from U2100 to U900 as U900 is for coverage purpose

UE will perform CSFB to 3G when make a voice call, and perform Fast Return after call complete.
UE will handover from LTE to 3G when coverage is poor and perform redirection from 3G to LTE when coverage is good
