IMS/SRVCC : voice services are over the IMS and
then over LTE network, Subscriber can roam and

What’s CSFB ?
 CSFB(Circuit Switched Fallback): LTE network only provides data
service, when UE launch or receive voice calls, by the EPS

What’s VoLTE？
VoLTE(Voice over LTE): is an IMS-based voice solution defined by
3GPP. By deploying the IMS network, operators not only migrate
traditional voice and short message services on live networks but
also integrate voice services with various enhanced functions to
diversify services

In the eSRVCC network architecture, the is much shorter.)
ATCF/ATGW is added between the P-CSCF and
the I-CSCF/S-CSCF. If an SRVCC handover is
required, the media session is anchored to the
ATGW. Only media information on the ATGW
needs to be updated when an SRVCC handover
occurs. Media information on the remote UE
does not need to be updated
