Hi,

As per my understanding If you keep it in airplane mode then you cannot call even a emergency number. If you try in smartphone that will unlock airplane mode then it will try to call.

when you keep airplane mode UE will send detach request then it will move to detached state.

I just executed this case and observed below scenario;
1- UE in airplane mode
2-Signals get off
3-Initiated Emergency no
4-After a few sec,its camping on network and initiates emergency call.

If you are enabling Airplane Mode in UE:

1) If UE connected to Internet and IMS PDN: UE will send PDN Disconnect Request for IMS PDN and then sends the Detach Request.

2) If UE connected to only Internet PDN (Initial Attach): It Just sends Detach Request and response NW will send Detach Accept

If Airplane Mode is ON and Initiate a Emergency Call: UE will turn OFF the Airplane Mode and tries to attach on LTE first and then does the further signalling for emergency PDN

Can someone explain the Interworking of VoLTE with UMTS/GSM? Say UE is Attached to LTE and IMS Registered to Use VoLTE Services. And Now It wants to Initiate a Voice Call to the User who is in 3G/2G Network. How the Call will be established from signalling point of view?

I formula/ equations that will enable me calculate the capacity/throughput of GSM base station, UMTS base station and LTE eNodeB.
If there are simulation software, can someone please kindly tell me how to get them and use them.
