3GPP2: eHRPD and LTE Interworking CDG Americas Regional Conference San Diego 11 November 2009 © 3GPP2
Overview • eHRPD • Connecting to the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) • Applicable standards • An evolution path to IMS-based services (Is eHRPD really the evolution path to IMS-based services?) • LTE Interworking • LTE – eHRPD Interworking • eHRPD – optimized and non-optimized handoff • 1x Circuit Switch Fall Back (1xCSFB) • 1x Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (1x SRVCC)
eHRPD • eHRPD is the attachment of the HRPD radio access network to the 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC). • eHRPD provides a path to the LTE (E-UTRAN) radio technology via the EPC.

LTE eHRPD Active Handoff • Optimized Handoff • Involves the use of S101 and S103 to minimize the gap in packet flow to less than 300 ms. • Signaling changes on AI to support S101 based tunneling. • UE establishes context on eHRPD by signaling sent over S101. • MME and eAN coordinate the handoff. • Non-Optimized Handoff • The UE leaves LTE coverage, attaches to eHRPD, builds context, and resumes packet flow. • Support in LTE to direct the handoff and provide eHRPD parameters. • Latency can be several seconds.
eHRPD LTE Idle Hand-Up • LTE neighbor information is provisioned and broadcast by the HRPD Network • Reduce AT searches • Minimize the access terminal power consumption • Uses reselection (idle handoff) parameters and procedures similar to that for UMTS LTE reselection • Supports non-priority/priority based idle hand-up • Supports soft reselection and back-off • The same parameters and procedures will also be used for idle hand-up from 1x to LTE
LTE – 1x CSFB • LTE uses S102 interface to transparently pass 1x signaling to and from the 1x system. • Useful for: • Registration • Paging for Mobile Terminated Calls • SMS • LTE can be configured for Data, while Voice services are provided on 1x.
LTE – 1x SRVCC • Single Radio Voice Call Continuity anchors a voice call in IMS. • Call is transferred from the packet environment to the MSC-based circuit environment. • Control is maintained in IMS. • May reduce latency in voice call handoff from packet to circuit. • Being considered for 1x voice call originations and terminations via S102 to reduce delays.

Future Work • 3GPP2 will continue to support Operators that choose to deploy LTE technologies • 3GPP2 will continue to cooperate with 3GPP to enhance: • eHRPD – LTE interworking • LTE - 1x CSFB / SRVCC • Features made possible by attachment to EPC. • Features made possible by LTE interworking.
