•   The circuit switched fallback (CSFB) service enables calls to fall back to the CS domain.
•   The LTE network provides only data services.
•   When a voice call is initiated or answered, it falls back to the CS domain for processing.
•   Therefore, carriers only need to upgrade the MSC server without deploying the IMS network.

•   In the simultaneous voice and LTE (SVLTE) solution, dual-mode mobile phones work on the LTE network and
    the CS network simultaneously. The LTE network provides data services, while the CS network provides voice
    services.
•   Advantage: SVLTE is a solution for mobile phones without requirements for the network.
•   Disadvantage: The cost and power consumption of dual-mode mobile phones are high.

                                            OTT Definition
•   Over-the-top (OTT) is a solution that uses APPs, such as the Skype, to provide voice services for LTE subscribers.
Advantage:
•       Only the OTT server needs to be deployed to the live network and slight change is required. The OTT can enhance user
    experience by offering rich multimedia services.
Disadvantages:
•       The OTT solution is not carrier-class-based and has low reliability.
•       The OTT solution cannot provide E2E QoS guarantee.
•       The OTT solution is hard to provide common services, such as emergency calls and interception, and services that are used
    only by regulatory bodies.
•       Roaming and interconnection are hard to be implemented due to lack of standards.

Voice based on IMS
•VoLTE voice services are IMS-based.
SRVCC/eSRVCC
•If VoLTE voice services need to be handed over the GSM or RAN network, SRVCC or eSRVCC is used.
ICS for VoLTE
•To ensure that subscribers have consistent user experiences on the LTE and CS networks, ICS is used.

•   Single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) is an IMS-based VoLTE.
•   VCC describes how a voice call can be continued when a UE moves between the target CS domain and the LTE domain
    supporting VoIP services.
•   SRVCC describes how a voice call can be continued when a Single Radio UE moves between LTE/Pre-LTE and 2G/3G
    networks, that is, when a Single Radio UE switches an call session between IMS/LTE and CS.

•   Calls are set up in the LTE over VoIP / VoIMS.
•   When a subscriber moves to an area uncovered by the LTE network while holding a call, the call is switched to the CS
    domain. SRVCC interprets a switchover process.
•   SRVCC solution: The media handover point is a peer device. Such as a peer UE.
•   E2E signaling and bearer are re-established.
•   The IMS network sends the updated media information to the remote network, and a session is interrupted around 1s.
                                                                                                                             24
                                         eSRVCC Definition
•   Target: The handover delay is less than 300 ms
•   Policy: The remote session update process is optimized. The media handover point is near to the local side.
•   Method: Media and signaling planes are anchored at the ATCF or ATGW to avoid the IMS session transfer process. When an
    eSRVCC handover is performed, only the bearer between the UE and the ATGW needs to be set up.
•   The original bearer is reused to transmit media streams between the peer device and the ATGW.

•   IMS centralized services (ICS) describe how services of subscribers who access the CS domain or IP-CAN using different
    terminals are managed on the IMS network in centralized mode.
•   With the ICS feature, all services are centralized to IMS. Therefore, subscribers can have consistent user experiences on the LTE
    and CS networks.
•   By deploying an MSC server that supports the ICS feature on a network, ICS subscribers can use services provided by IMS
    during the initial phase of LTE in the following scenarios:
         CS subscribers who have subscribed to the ICS feature wish to use IMS services without changing their numbers.
         VoLTE subscribers who roam to or experience an SRVCC handover to a CS network wish to continue to use the IMS
          services.
