Constringent Transmit Mode for UMTS


Handover flow include measurement control, measurement, measurement report, handover judgment and handover execution. Measurement for intersystem is very important Constringent Transmit mode: measurement for Interfrequency and Inter-system For FDD transmit mode of UMTS network, UE need to receive DL data from NODEB for whole the time. UE cant receive signal from other frequency or other system. Constringent transmit mode is used as giving some idle timeslot to measure other frequency or other system

Constringent Transmit Mode for UMTS

One frame (10 ms)

Transmission gap available for inter-frequency measurements

Using Puncturing half reducing Spreading factor and High level schedule actualize transmit GAP 7 timeslot is the biggest idle length for each 10ms frame When GAP span two radio frame, system using at least 8 timeslot as transmit data for each radio frame

Handover CS 3G to 2G
Handover include these steps measurement control measurement report handover judgment handover execution If there is only one RF mode in one UE, it must use constringent mode to measure the different system If there are two RF mode in one UE, it can measure GSM network without constringent mode HO Process: UE send a bad quality information to RNC RNC originate a constringent transmit mode to measure 2G network RNC originate a handover from UMTS to GSM after find a good quality GSM neighbor cell

Handover flow for CS 3G to 2G

UE use measurement report of GSM get information of GSM (Rx_LEV. BSIC)

Handover CS 2G to 3G
For GSM handover to UMTS: When there are UMTS neighbors for GSM cells, measurement control information is sent in system information UE measure the UMTS system information in idle timeslot then send it to BSC BSC make a judgment of handover using the measurement report. Because GSM is a TDMA system: It can finish the UMTSs measurement in idle timeslot GSM neednt support constringent mode .

Handover flow for CS 2G to 3G


There is some judgment flow before handover using measurement report from UMTS system

UMTS to GRPS HO is data service HO from UMTS to GPRS;

UE update the measurement report that UMTS cell work in bad quality RNC send RL RECONFIG PREPARE command to NODEB. Asking NODEB use constringent mode NODEB send RL RECONFIG READY information to RNC, when it constringent mode is prepared RNC send PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIG information to UE. Asking UE use constringent mode RNC confirm UE had received the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIG informationsend a RL RECONFIG COMMIT information to NODEB tell NODEB the time of staring constringent mode UE send PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIG COMPLETE information to RNCtell RNC that it had finished staring constringent mode RNC send measurement control let UE begin to measure GSM system

Intersystem Change is the same with CS handover .The difference is when RNC received measure report of UMTS system will send a cell change information to UE
