LTE is using 900MHz and UMTS is using 2100MHz, in area that LTE sites
DCS1800 DCS1800 is much less than 3G, and 3G site number is more than 2G, a certain LTE
cell will coverage more 3G cells than 2G. A LTE cell may coverage up to
tier 3 or even tier 4 of neighboring 3G cell.

But due to UE can only measure up to 32 3G neighbors, so only up to
A LTE cell need to configure more 3G neighbor cells 32 UMTS neighbors will be configured in LTE side. Thus LTE may only
than 2G cells due to 3G site number is more than 2G. configure up to tier 2 or 3 neighboring 3G cells.
But maximum number of neighbor is limited by 32 When UE move to LTE boarder area, UE may not able to report the best
due to UE measurement capability. 3G cells that not in LTE neighbor list. So UE may get chance to report 2G
cells and trigger UE redirection to 2G from LTE.

Con: In case if UE stay in area that 3G coverage is bad, then user experience will be impacted
According to Huawei 3G team drive test, more than 90% of chances, UE will stay in 3G along with
VIP roads in Jakarta. These <10% area are out of existing LTE area. So it shall be safe to apply L to U
by bling redirection.
