GSM BSS
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
The CSFB QoS feature provides the following functions:
l
Very-early TCH assignment based on CSFB call identification

The access delay of CSFB calls is longer than that of common calls. To decrease the access
delay of CSFB calls, the very-early TCH assignment based on CSFB call identification
function is introduced. This function enables the BSC to perform very-early TCH
assignment for the CSFB calls identified by CSFB call identification, decreasing the access
delay of CSFB calls.
CSFB voice quality assurance

This function includes the following sub functions:
CSFB preemption and queuing
During the initial access of a CSFB call, the priority of the CSFB call is increased. If
no channels are available, the CSFB call can preempt channels occupied by lowerpriority calls or non-CSFB calls with the same priority as the CSFB call. If the
preemption fails, the CSFB call joins a queue.
Full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls
The BSC preferentially allocates TCHFs to CSFB calls.
CSFB VAMOS prohibition
CSFB calls cannot serve as candidate VAMOS calls. In the VAMOS feature, the BSC
multiplexes two candidate VAMOS calls onto the same VAMOS channel.
NOTE
TCH is short for traffic channel.

TCHF is short for full-rate traffic channel.
TCHH is short for half-rate traffic channel.
CSFB is short for circuit switched fallback.
VAMOS is short for voice services over adaptive multi-user channels on one slot.
2.2 Benefits
The CSFB QoS feature provides the following benefits:
l
The very-early TCH assignment based on CSFB call identification function helps decrease
the delay in the establishment of a CSFB mobile originated call (MOC) or CSFB mobile
terminated call (MTC) by 1s to 1.5s.
The CSFB preemption and queuing function helps increase the assignment success rate of
CSFB calls when TCHs are congested.
The full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls function and the CSFB VAMOS prohibition
function help improve the voice quality of CSFB calls.

3 Technical Description
Technical Description
On a CSFB-enabled network, an MS camping on an LTE cell can originate a CS call or receive

a CS paging message after being migrated to a GSM cell using CSFB. The call procedure in
CSFB is similar to that when the MS camps on a GSM cell. When SUPPORTCSFB
(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to SUPPORT(Support), the BSC can connect CSFB users to a
GSM cell.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

GSM BSS
3.1 Overview
The CSFB QoS feature includes the following functions: very-early TCH assignment based on
CSFB call identification, CSFB preemption and queuing, full-rate channel preferred for CSFB
calls, and CSFB VAMOS prohibition. If all of these functions are enabled and the very-early
TCH assignment based on CSFB call identification function is triggered by a CSFB call, then:
l
The CSFB preemption and queuing and full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls functions
do not take effect for the CSFB call.
During the very-early TCH assignment, the CSFB VAMOS prohibition function does not
take effect for the CSFB call. After the very-early TCH assignment is complete, the CSFB
VAMOS prohibition function takes effect for the CSFB call.
3.2 Very-Early TCH Assignment Based on CSFB Call

Identification
When CSFBIMMASSENSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On) and the current cell load
is less than the value of ImmTchLoadThres(BSC6900,BSC6910), the BSC performs very-early
TCH assignment for the following CSFB calls:
l
CSFB mobile originated calls (MOCs) identified by the CSFB MOC identification function
CSFB mobile terminated calls (MTCs) identified by the CSFB MTC identification function
The very-early TCH assignment procedure for CSFB calls is the same as that for common calls
on GSM networks. For details, see Assignment and Immediate Assignment Feature Parameter
Description.
3.3 CSFB Voice Quality Assurance

The CSFB voice quality assurance function includes the following sub functions:
l
3.3.1 CSFB Preemption and Queuing

During the initial access of a CSFB call, the priority of the CSFB call is increased. The CSFB
call can preempt channels or join a queue if no channels are available. The CSFB preemption
and queuing principles are similar to the eMLPP principles. The differences lie in the following
aspects:
l
Preemption policy for calls with the same priority as a new call
With eMLPP, a new call can only preempt lower-priority calls but cannot preempt channels
occupied by calls with the same priority as the new call.
With CSFB preemption and queuing, a CSFB call can preempt channels occupied by both
lower-priority calls and non-CSFB calls with the same priority as the CSFB call.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

GSM BSS
Preemption policy when the message sent by the CN does not contain the priority of a call
With eMLPP, if the message sent by the CN does not contain the priority of a call, the BSC
does not allow the call to preempt channels.
With CSFB preemption and queuing, the BSC allows a CSFB call to preempt channels
even if the message sent by the CN does not contain the priority of the CSFB call.
Method of processing preempted calls

With eMLPP, if a handover for the preempted call fails, the BSC drops the preempted
call.
With CSFB preemption and queuing, if a handover for the preempted call fails, the BSC
cancels the preemption to prevent call drops.
Queuing processing
With eMLPP, if a call fails to preempt channels, the BSC determines whether to allow the
call to join a queue based on the value of BSCQAD(BSC6900,BSC6910) and instructions
from the CN.
With CSFB preemption and queuing, if a CSFB call fails to preempt channels, the BSC
allows the CSFB call to join a queue regardless of the value of BSCQAD
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and instructions from the CN.
For details about eMLPP principles, see eMLPP Feature Parameter Description. When both
the GBFD-115001 Enhanced Multi Level Precedence and Preemption (EMLPP) feature and the
CSFB preemption and queuing function are enabled, non-CSFB calls preempt channels
according to eMLPP principles, and CSFB calls preempt channels according to CSFB
preemption and queuing principles.
3.3.2 Full-Rate Channel Preferred for CSFB Calls

When CSFBOPTIFREN(CSFB FR Optimization Enable) is selected for
CSFBVOQULENSURSW(BSC6900,BSC6910), the full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls
function is enabled. In this situation, the BSC preferentially allocates TCHFs to CSFB calls
without considering the value of TCHBUSYTHRES(BSC6900,BSC6910) and prohibits TCHFto-TCHH handovers in a cell.
3.3.3 CSFB VAMOS Prohibition

When CSFBNOUSEVAMOS(CSFB VAMOS Pairing Prohibit) is selected for
CSFBVOQULENSURSW(BSC6900,BSC6910), the CSFB VAMOS prohibition function is
enabled. In this situation, the BSC does not select CSFB calls as candidate VAMOS calls for
channel multiplexing.

5 Network Impact
Network Impact
5.1 System Capacity

After the full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls function is enabled, the proportion of TCHFs
increases, thereby decreasing system capacity and increasing cell congestion.
After the CSFB VAMOS prohibition function is enabled, the VAMOS channel multiplexing
proportion decreases, thereby decreasing capacity gains delivered by VAMOS.
5.2 Network Performance

The functions included in the CSFB QoS feature differently impact network performance.
Very-Early TCH Assignment Based on CSFB Call Identification

l
Decreases the delay in the establishment of a CSFB MOC or CSFB MTC by 1s to 1.5s.
Due to the high transmission rate over TCHs, the connections between MSs and the radio
network can be quickly established.
Increases the TCH congestion rate. The very-early TCH assignment for CSFB calls causes
more TCHs to be occupied on the network. If the proportion of CSFB MSs is 10%, the
TCH congestion rate may increase by 0.30.5%.
Slightly decreases the high quality indicator (HQI). If TCHs use a tighter frequency reuse
pattern than SDCCHs, the HQI decreases by 0.10.3%.
CSFB Preemption and Queuing

l
Increases the assignment success rate and handover success rate of CSFB calls. The increase
value is associated with the TCH congestion rate. If the TCH congestion rate is 2%, the
assignment success rate of CSFB calls increases by 0.51%.
Increases the call drop rate due to traffic congestion by 0.1% or less.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

GSM BSS
5 Network Impact
Full-Rate Channel Preferred for CSFB Calls

l
Improves voice quality of CSFB calls. The MOS increases by 0.2 to 0.3 for the CSFB MSs
that are allocated TCHHs before this function is enabled and allocated TCHFs after this
function is enabled.
Increases the TCH congestion rate in congested cells. The increase value is strongly
associated with the cell traffic model and proportion of CSFB MSs in cells. The increase
in TCH congestion rate brought by enabling this function is the same as that brought by
increasing the value of TCHBUSYTHRES by proportion of CSFB calls.
Slightly decreases the HQI. If the proportion of CSFB calls is less than or equal to 15%,
the HQI (proportion of receive quality bands 0 to 4) decreases by 0.3%, and the call drop
rate increases by 0.1% or less.
CSFB VAMOS Prohibition

l
Improves voice quality of CSFB calls. The MOS increases by 0.2 to 0.4 for the CSFB MSs
for which VAMOS channel multiplexing is performed before this function is enabled and
is not performed after this function is enabled.
Increases the TCH congestion rate in congested cells. The increase value is associated with
the proportion of VAMOS MSs, proportion of CSFB MSs, and cell traffic model. The
increase in TCH congestion rate brought by enabling this function is the same as that
brought by increasing the value of TCHBUSYTHRES by (Proportion of VAMOS MS x
Proportion of CSFB MSs x 2). "2" indicates that two VAMOS calls are multiplexed onto
one TCHH or TCHF.

on CSFB call identification function is enabled, decrease the value of ImmTchLoadThres
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
After the CSFB preemption and queuing, full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls, and CSFB
VAMOS prohibition functions are all enabled, if the value of the K3045: Congestion Rate on
TCH (All Channels Busy) counter increases by 5% to 10% and the proportion of traffic volume
on TCHHs decreases by more than 10%, perform the following optimization:
1.
Disable the full-rate channel preferred for CSFB calls function.
2.
If the TCH congestion rate is still high, disable the CSFB VAMOS prohibition function.
3.
If the value of the RH303A: Success Rate of Radio Handover counter decreases by more
than 3%, disable the CSFB preemption and queuing function.
NOTE
Proportion of traffic volume on TCHHs = K3034: TCHH Traffic Volume/K3014: Traffic Volume on TCH
