1  Scopep. 7

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.
