 1. Introduction
SRVCC to GSM feature commands the UE to leave LTE network when LTE coverage is
ending. This feature handover the VoIP call (QCI = 1) to GSM network via Single Radio
Voice Call Continuity procedure in the IMS capable environment.

Prior to the actual SRVCC procedure, measurements of 2G network is triggered. UE is

considered as SRVCC to GSM capable if the following FGI bits are set to TRUE

▪ bit 9 (EUTRA RRC_CONNECTED to GERAN GSM_Dedicated handover

▪ bit 23 (GERAN measurements, reporting and measurement reporting

event B2 in E-UTRA connected mode)

SRVCC to GSM (LTE873) is based on the earlier interworking feature: eNACC to GSM .
Target GSM cells have to be configured in the eNB.

2. Test Setup
• A UE is attached to an LTE Network and has at least one VoIP bearer (QCI=1)
established in LTE.
• From Initial Context Setup it is known that both the UE and the EPC are SRVCC
capable
• Feature SRVCC to GSM is enabled in eNodeB and the Operator has configured at
least one GSM layer as target for SRVCC
• The UE runs out of LTE Coverage, eNodeB activates UE measurements on the
GSM frequencies configured for SRVCC
• UE reports that the condition for a SRVCC to GSM are met
• eNodeB initiates handover procedure towards GSM indicating to the EPC
• EPC prepares GERAN via MSC Server for an incoming CS-handover, whereas the
VoIP bearer is converted to an CS-Voice bearer
• After preparation of GERAN the UE is commanded to handover to GERAN

4. GSM Parameters Setting

Following SW feature is required on the BSC side to handle the incoming voice handover
from LTE:

▪ either BSS10101 Inter-System handover (where support for inter-RAT handover

from 3G is provided
▪ or BSS30315 TD-SCDMA Incoming HO Support
Without either of these functionalities the BSC will reject SRVCC related HO Requests
