FGI (Feature Group Indicator) for supported bearer combination found on FGI Bit 7 and Bit 20
Bit 7 indicated if RLC UM is supported.
Bit 7 can only be set to 0 if the UE does not support VoLTE
Bit 20 is set to 1 then
If Bit 7 is set to 0 UE support
SRB 1 and SRB2 for DCCH + 8 AM DRB
If Bit 7 is set to 1 UE support
SRB 1 and SRB2 for DCCH + 8 AM DRB
SRB 1 and SRB2 for DCCH + 5 AM DRB + 3 UM DRB
Regardless of what Bit 7 and Bit 20 is set to. UE shall support at least
SRB1 and SRB2 for DCCH + 4x AM DRB
Regardless of what Bit 20 is set to, if bit 7 is set to 1. UE shall support at least
SRB1 and SRB2 for DCCH + 4x AM DRB + 1x UM DRB

Multiple DRB (data radio bearers) can be either multiple default EPS bearers or a combination of
default and dedicated EPS bearers.
The radio admission is extended by additional check of the total number of DRB per cell and
maximum number of DRB per UE.
The different EPS bearers per UE can have the same or a different QCI.

Emergency Calls
Emergency Call Handling (1/2)

Emergency calls are redirected to GSM or WCDMA

LNBTS; Disabled (0), Enabled (1);- ; Disabled (0)
There are two cases:
Case 1: UE is idle mode, eNB checks RRC Connection Request for call establishment cause
and in case it is 'Emergency', then a separate admission threshold is used and calls will
not be rejected due to capacity license limitations
Case2: MME is sending CS Fallback Indicator IE with value 'CS Fallback High

MME
Feature objective:
Limitation of the UL & DL bit rate of all non-GBR bearers per UE below UE-
AMBR
The subscription parameter is stored in HSS and signaled to eNodeB during
bearer setup

An EPS bearer is the level of granularity for bearer level QoS control in the E-UTRAN/EPC)
Motivation:
e-NB analysis provided QoS for
each EPS Bearer to get the type
of modification
- Feature utilization
LTE9 use service differentiation
LTE519 modifies the scheduling
weight introduced by LTE9
LTE13 Rate Capping
LTE519 modifies the UE-AMBR

EPS Bearer is identified by a set of QoS parameters
QCI -> (QoS Class Identifier)
ARP -> (Allocation and Retention Priority)
GBR -> (Guaranteed Bit Rate)
MBR -> (Maximum Bit Rate)
eRAB Modification LTE519
Without the feature LTE519, eNB will reject any modification attempt commanded by MME via S1AP:
E-RAB MODIFY REQUEST message.
In this case S1AP: E-RAB MODIFY RESPONSE message includes IE: cause set to Radio
Network Layer Cause Unspecified
With the feature LTE519 modification of the following parameters can handled by eNB
Non-GBR Bearers
QCI, ARP, UE-AMBR
GBR Bearers

Modification of QCI,GBR and MBR for GBR EPS Bearers is planned for a future release.

ROHC
Motivation for ROHC (LTE11)
In order to prevent that waste, in RL20, in parallel to LTE10 Conversational Voice, there is also
LTE11 feature which provides the functionality of Robust Header Compression
For example, with ROHC, a 10 minutes of 12.2 kbps AMR coded VoIP call with talk spurt/silent
period alternating every 1 second (SID packets excluded), the transmission overhead is reduced
by 91.5%
