Comparison of Optimized vs. Non-Optimized

Optimized handoff takes less than 300 msec. Non-optimized handoff can take as much as 5-7 seconds. Optimized handoff requires in addition to what non-optimized needs: S101 tunneling

Uses tunneled signaling to the UE across the S102 interface between the IWS and MME. This supports:

eNodeB

IWS sends a handoff command (UHDM) to the UE via S102, and sets up the traffic channel on 1x in preparation for the UE. UE does a handoff to the 1x traffic channel. 1x call proceeds.

Comparison of CSFB to eCSFB

CSFB requires extra time on 1x due to hashing and other procedures. For eCSFB, the traffic channel is prepared and waiting for the UE to arrive. Some issues at the radio level will be discussed later, when the radio level is covered.

Why the Inter RAT protocols?

To handle connection between HRPD upper layer to LTE lower layers
- HRPD upper layer = Connection Layer and above - LTE lower layer = MAC and below - The behavior of the HRPD control protocols are very different when connected to the LTE tunnel

Tunneled mode/state:
- This mobile enters this mode when it is connected to LTE - SIB 8 provides the overhead parameters, such as System Time, Neighbors PN, etc

- Tunneled State describes the behavior of the HRPD protocol when the mobile is connected to the LTE tunnel
- Under tunneled state, each IRAT protocol behave differently as compare to their normal state - Provide periodic pilot measurement

18 COPYRIGHT 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Functionalities of IRAT protocols when in tunneled mode (1)

IRAT Initialization state protocol
- Bypass pilot acquisition and synchronization state - It uses the SIB 8 information to establish timing

IRAT Idle state protocol

- Introduced Tunneled state in the state transition diagram - No sleep or wake up - No monitoring of control channel

- Perform pilot measurement

19 COPYRIGHT 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Functionalities of IRAT protocols when in tunneled mode (2)

IRAT Route Update Protocol
- Pilot supervision is disabled - Radius based RUP message is disabled

IRAT Overhead Message Protocol

- Store overhead parameters from SIB 8 - Transmit the OtherRATNeighborList Message - Does not activate supervision timers

SAP functionalities
It keeps record of which air interface (HRPD or non-HRPD) the access terminal is currently receiving service in When requested by upper layer protocols, it provides a virtual connection service between the access terminal and the access network over a nonHRPD radio access technology tunnel when the access terminal is receiving service in a non-HRPD radio access technology Provides encapsulation of HRPD packets when sent over a non-HRPD radio access technology tunnel

Triggers idle and active handoffs from a non-HRPD radio access technology to HRPD access networks
It has a control plane as well as a user plane functionality

Changes to Application Layer

Added alternate packet application subtype for:
- MFPA -> Alternate MFPA - EMFPA -> Alternate EMFPA - MLMFPA -> Alternate MLMFPA

The alternate packet application subtype is to identify the support of eHRPD Introduce Protocol ID 7 and 8

24 COPYRIGHT 2011 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Changes to MAC and PHY Layer

Initial output power calculation
- X0 = - Mean RX Power (dBm) + OpenLoopAdjust + PilotInitialAdjust - where: - PilotInitialAdjust = InitialAdjust + min(PilotStrengthCorrectionMax, max(PilotStrengthNominal PilotStrength, PilotStrengthCorrectionMin)),

This is necessary due to no access probe power correction
