SR-VCC has been standardized in Release 8
TS 23.216 to provide seamless continuity when UE handovers from E-UTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN.
This document contains the results of feasibility study of the requirements and the alternative solutions to improve the handover performance of SRVCC.
The objective of this study is as follows:
-
Evaluating the performance of current Rel 8 SRVCC solution;
-
Enhancing the performance of the SR-VCC Flow Break with regard to the roaming and non-roaming case;
-
Enhancing SR-VCC handover performance while minimizing the impacts on the network architecture for the directions
-
from EUTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN; and
-
from UTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN.
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
-
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non specific.
-
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
-
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
