CS and PS Relocation in UMTS PDF

The document discusses relocation procedures in UMTS networks for circuit-switched (CS) and packet-switched (PS) domains. For CS relocation, UE-involved procedures use handover commands to switch the UE to a new carrier or replace its active set during relocation. UE-not-involved CS relocation is initiated by the source RNC when cells only belong to the target RNC. For PS relocation, UE-involved uses handover while UE-not-involved updates mobility information. Relocation risks and failure causes are also compared between UE-involved and UE-not-involved procedures.

Relocation in CS
UE Involved
The combined inter-RNC HHO and
SRNS relocation procedure is “UE
involved”, since the UE is ordered to
switch to another carrier frequency or
to replace the whole active set by
sending a HHO command to the UE
HHO during the relocation procedure.
Relocation in CS
UE Not-Involved
• SRNS relocation is started
when the current active set
only comprises cells
belonging to the DRNC (aka
Target RNC).
• The relocation procedure is
Mobility
initiated by the SRNC (aka
Information Source RNC).

Conclusions
• Relocation with UE Involved has risk to do the inter-RNC HO in the
border before getting connection to DRNC.
• Relocation with UE Not-Involved has following often failure causes:
 UP setup failure
 UTRAN Mobility Information procedure failure or timeout
