Interworking Strategy
(LTE1800
+ U900 + U2100 + GSM)
www.huawei.com
Overview of Interworking Strategy
Idle Mode
• Reselection within same LTE frequency layer: Intra-frequency reselection based on coverage
• Reselection between L900, L1800 are Inter-Frequency reselection based on coverage
• LTE U900/U2100/G1800: Reselection based on coverage (G900 not involved since only S1/1/1 )
• U900/U2100/G1800/G900 LTE: Reselection based on priority (L1800 has higher priority than L900)
• 2G/3G interworking to L900 will be deleted after all L900 shutdown

Priority Trigger
Inter-RAT – Idle Mode Cell Reselection
• Propose to set L900 to higher reselection priority than U2100 & GSM1800/900.
• LTE capable UE always prefer to camp on LTE due to higher cell priority than UMTS/GSM.
• UE prefer to reselect to U2100 only when LTE signal is low and UMTS signal fulfill the cell
reselection triggering threshold. Only U2100 is not available and U900 is available then reselect to
U900.
• Absolute priority will be set for both LTE and UMTS network to facilitate cell reselection preference
to LTE network.
• Absolute priority ranges from 0 to 7, where 7 indicate the highest priority and 0 indicate the lowest
priority.

Overview of Interworking Strategy
Connected Mode
• HO within LTE same frequency: Intra-frequency handover based on coverage
• HO between LTE different frequency: Inter-Freq HO triggered by coverage, and by LTE cell load (MLB: Mobility Load Balance)
• LTE U2100/G1800: Inter-RAT PS Redirection for PS service, CSFB by redirection for CS service (G900 not involved).
Blind redirection will be adapt when U900 co-located with LTE
• UMTS & GSM LTE: Redirection for PS Service (fast return only co-locate with LTE), 3G to LTE service based redirection
U900 is not considered
for L2U interworking for
LTE LTE LTE LTE connection mode
mobility before U900 is
continuous coverage.
Also U900 quality need
to monitor considering

G->L Fast Return
U->L Fast Return
Fast Return will not enable on U900 cells since it has bigger coverage than L1800.
In future if U900 is verified good performance and continuous coverage, then can U2L service based redirection
consider Interworking to U900 instead of U2100 by blind redirection
