1 INTRODUCTION
− The purpose of this document is providing the information on Mobility inside LTE technology. The Mobility procedures are essential to maintain the connections when the users are moving in connected or idle mode.
− This document will not cover the Inter-RAT Mobility (W-CDMA/GERAN to LTE) Please refer to the document: “2G-3G-LTE Mobility Management” for this purpose.
− The Mobility function can be supported through different ways: o RAN Mobility: When the UE moves from one eNB to another eNB within the same sGW. This can
occurs with Intra or Inter-Frequency. o CN Mobility: When the UE moves from one sGW to another sGW. There are two kinds: Intra MME with
changing sGW, Inter MME with changing sGW. In theses two options, the P-GW remains the same.
2 MOBILITY IN ACTIVE MODE
2.1 Measurement control and reporting The decision of the handover is done by the source eNB based on the measurement report sent by the UE in uplink. The measurement control message is an RRC message sent by the source eNB to the UE. The UE sends back the measurement reports indicating:
• The RCID (Radio Cell Identity) of the target cell is the physical Cell identity of the best cell which is the first in the list of neighboring cells. The neighboring cells list may be managed by the same eNB in case of Intra-frequency handover or managed by the remote eNB in case of Inter-Frequency handover
Alcatel-Lucent – Proprietary Version: 1.00 5/26
• The RSRP and RSRQ of the serving cell: o RSRP: Reference signal Receiver Power: Average power of resource elements over cell specific
reference signal transmitted on every antenna port. RSRP doesn’t provide any information about Interference.
o RSRQ: Reference signal Receiver Quality: defines to measure the C/I of the reference signal, takes then in consideration the Interference.
2.2 Handover Events One of the following events could trigger the handover measurement:
• Event A1: Serving cells becomes better than threshold. Ms-Hys > thresh
• Event A2: Serving cell becomes worse than threshold Ms-Hys < thresh
• Event A3: neighbor cell becomes better than serving cell Mn+Ofn+Ocn-Hys >Ms+Ofs+Ocs+Off.
• Event A4: neighbor cell becomes better than threshold. Mn+Ofn+Ocn-Hys > threshold
• Event A5: Serving cell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbor cell becomes better than threshold2 Ms+Hys< threshold1 and Mn+Ofn+Ocn-Hys>threshold2 The parameters involved include:
• Ms : measured RSRP in dBm or/and RSRQ in dB at the serving cell • Mn : measured RSRP or/and RSRQ at the neighbor cell • Hys: Hysteresis in dB • Ofs, Ofn: Frequency specific offset at the serving/neighbor cell. • Ocs, Ocn: Cell specific offset at the serving/neighbor cell. • Thresh: Threshold parameter in dBm or dB. • Thresh1, Thresh2: Predefined Threshold in serving/neighbor cell. In the first step, ALU choices the solution of Blind handover: The triggering condition for PS handover relies on:
o A degradation of the radio conditions on the serving cell o The measured RSRP or/and RSRQ gets lower than a pre-defined threshold without the target cell
measurement (Event A2). The eNB can adjust the measurement parameters to improve the measurement performance.

2.3 Handover types The 3GPP standard allows eNBs to trigger the handover through the S1 or X2 Interface. The X2 handover is performed by eNB and doesn’t allow the MME relocation; only sGW relocation is possible. On the other hand, the S1 handover enables a MME relocation (only EPC, only sGW, or both EPC and sGW relocations). The MME relocation is only permitted in the case of Inter-eNB handover and when the UE leaves the old MME pool area. Please refer to the pool area definition in the Idle mode section. The X2 handover is performed only when the target cell belongs to the same MME pool area as the serving cell. See the below figure: The X2 handover can be achieved from eNB1 to eNB2 but not from eNB1 to eNB3.

The preparation phase of the S1 handover is performed through the MME. The eNB takes the decision of the selection of the most appropriate handover mode. The S1 handover is used when the X2 handover can not be performed.
2.4 Handover steps The handover is executed as per the following steps:
• Handover triggering: o Ho decision and request: The source eNB decides to handover the UE to the target eNB based on
event measurement reports and decides to transmit handover request to the target cell o Admission Control RRM: the target eNB can decide to accept or refuse the handover, in function of
the received EPS bearer QoS and the availability of resources of the target cell. • Handover preparation
o Ho command: The source eNB transmits the Handover command to the UE when receiving one acknowledge of handover request from the target cell. The source and the target eNB then synchronize together and the source transmits the buffered data packets to the target.
o SN Status transfer: The source ENB transmits an SN (Sequence number) status transfer message to the target ENB to convey the UL and DL PDCP SN transmit status of EPS bearer. That helps the source maintain both UL and DL synchronization with the target to transfer the buffered data.
• Handover execution o Synchronization: the UE synchronizes with the target eNB. o UL allocation and HO confirm: UE is allocated radio resources on the UL of the target eNB. UE sends
the handover confirm to the target cell. • Data forwarding:
o Path switch request: From target eNB to MME to setup tunnel with the sGW. o Switch downlink path: The serving eNB stops data forwarding packets to the target eNB and the MME
transmits the path switch acknowledge to the target to enable the target eNB to receive the DL data packets directly from the sGW.

2.5 RAN Mobility Both scenarios for Inter-eNB (between two eNB) or intra-eNB (between two sectors of the same eNB) handover are supported. In this case, it is about the X2 Handovers
2.5.1 Intra-Frequency Handover, intra eNodeB The MME relocation can not be done using the X2 handover procedure. In this case, the target eNB must be connected to the MME currently serving the UE. The following figure gives the global view of intra eNB handover.

2.5.1.1 Data PS call on going S1 or X2 data forwarding means that the source eNB continues to forward the data packets to UE either directly through X2-u through the target eNB or through the sGW during the Handover Execution phase
2.5.1.2 CS call on going TBD.
2.5.2 Inter-Frequency Handover, Inter eNodeB The Inter-Frequency handover is useful in the context of a deployment where different frequencies are used either in different regions for coverage purpose or in the same region to offer the higher capacity users Both X2 and S1 based Handovers intra LTE are supported. Inter-eNB handover is triggered by the reception of measurement report in which the best reported cell is managed by a different eNB than the serving cell.
2.5.2.1 Inter-frequency intra-band This feature consists of a UE moving from one cell handling a LTE frequency (f1) to another cell handling a second LTE frequency (f2), but within the same frequency band. The eNB instructs the UE to measure neighbor frequency cell.
2.5.2.2 Inter-frequency Inter-band This feature consists of a UE moving from one cell of LTE frequency (f1) to another cell of LTE frequency (f2) in another frequency band. The eNB instructs the UE to measure neighbor frequency cell Inter-frequency Inter-band (ie on different frequencies and different bands). The Alcatel-Lucent eNB has the capability to support multiband. One Modem card can indeed be dedicated to a given frequency band. The eNB can then support up to three different bands by the means of 3 Modem cards. One band can support three sectors Different possible combinations of BW on different bands are: 5 MHz + 5 MHz, 5 MHz + 10 MHz, 10 + 10 MHz

2.6 CN Mobility 2.6.1 GTP protocol The IP packet in DL addressed to the UE is first received by PGW. The PGW repackages the user data and encapsulates inside a tunnel with an IP header (sGW IP ) and the GTP tunnel ID is the S5/S8 EPS bearer. The sGW strips off the IP packet and repackaged by encapsulating inside a tunnel with an IP header eNB and EPS BR associated with the UE. The eNB then strips off the encapsulation header and transmits the payload to the UE on Uu Interface.

2.6.2 CN HO architecture The S1 Handover can be achieved with following possible configurations:
• sGW relocation without MME • Both sGW relocation and MME • MME relocation without sGW. • S1 handover without any node EPC relocation. The MME is responsible of deciding the sGW or/and MME relocations. After the handover, new EPS S1 and EPS BS S5/S8 are created from the UE through the target eNB, target sGW and P-GW. In LA2.0 there is only Intra-frequency S1 handover is supported.
Alcatel-Lucent – Proprietary Version: 1.00 17/26
2.6.3 Scenarios 2.6.3.1 Intra-MME/Inter-sGW The data forwarding is processed as follows in case of sGW relocation: The downlink traffic is sent by the PGW towards the target sGW through the Serving sGW.
2.6.3.2 Inter-MME/Inter-sGW The Relocation MME can not be performed unless the UE leaves a given pool area to enter a different pool area. The both MME and sGW relocation is described as following: The source MME decides the MME relocation where the EPS bearer is created on the new target sGW

3 MOBILITY IN IDLE MODE
3.1 Idle mode The UE is in idle mode when there are no NAS signaling between the UE and the network, there is no context set up in the eNB for a given UE but the UE is registered at MME with the default EPS BR. The benefit of idle mode mobility consists of an exchange of information via Paging, saving network resources and battery power in the UE. The Idle mode Mobility is split into 3 levels: Tracking area TA: is a logical grouping of eNB in a contiguous region for the purpose of paging the UE. The tracking area update TAU procedure allows the network (UE or Network?)to identify his location when he is moving from one TA to another TA without sending data pacquets. TAI= TA code+ PLMN Id In LTE, the cell can be a member of only one TAI but the UE can be registered in one and more TAI. The serving MME can be changed as UE moves. The UE information context is then transferred on S10 from the old MME to the new MME: Paging information, UE service data flows, EPS BR, information on associated sGW and P-GW. Cell reselection: There are 504 different physical-layers cell ID in LTE. Each of them corresponds to a unique DL reference signal sequence. The UE uses Primary and secondary signals in DL to search the intra and Inter-frequencies. If the UE can not find a suitable LTE cell, it will attempt to search another cell technology in its geographical area: 3GPP/2 technologies as GSM, UMTS or CDMA or non-3GPP/2 technologies like WiMAX or WiFi. Theses cell changes are called IRAT or Inter-Radio Access technology. There are 510 Physical cell ID, are grouping into 170 Physical cell ID group. Each group contains id from 0 to 2. Each Physical cell ID group contains from 0 to 169 physical cell ID. Radio Cell Identity= 3* Physical cell ID group + Identity within group resulting an Integer value 0 to 503. PLMN selection: In future releases there is a possibility for the UE to select the preferred PLMN. It is based on the PLMN ID information in the broadcast channel. Theses three information (TAI, Cell ID and PLMN ID) are contained in the SIB information part of the broadcast channel (Logical channel BCCH and Transport channel S-BCH and DL-SCH) The Call IP in eCCM or xCCM-U card is responsible for system information building
Alcatel-Lucent – Proprietary Version: 1.00 20/26
The following picture describes how several eNBs can be regrouped into one TA. The fact some contiguous eNB belonging to one TA eases the paging UE which can be performed on one or many TA where the mobile is located. Several eNBs are connected to the same SGW and one eNB can belong to two contiguous SGW to avoid the SGW relocation during mobility.

4 QOS OR PERFORMANCE IMPACT Each EPS bearer is a logical link between the UE and PGW; it is associated with three parameters: QCI, Label and ARP. During the Handover the EPS bearer must be transferred from the old to the new MME in case of MME relocation. The receiving MME needs to develop a bearer with the same characteristics: TBC. The S1 Handover Interruption time shall be higher than the X2 handover Interruption due to MME relocation. For this purpose, the X2 handover is preferred over S1 handover.

5.2 QoS Each EPS bearer is a logical link between the UE and PGW; it is associated with three parameters:
• QCI: QoS identifier associated with a Label which is the set of parameters, including Bearer type, Priority, Parquet delay, Parquet loss.
• Bearer type: GBR “guaranteed bit rate”, MBR, “maximum bit rate”, AMBR “aggregate MBR” • ARP: priority of allocation or retention: The main purpose is to decide whether the bearer can be accepted or
removed in case of resource limitation.
