If the target RAN supports VoPS (Voice over Packet Switched) services
all bearers, including the GBR bearer carrying voice, are handed
over according to standard PS HO procedures.
If the target RAN does not support VoPS the SR-VCC procedure is required to transfer the voice session to the CS Domain other
PS bearers may be handed over as indicated below.

The SR-VCC and PS Handover to the target domain

are carried out in parallel
Return to E-UTRAN:
R10 SR-VCC cannot be used to transfer the session from the CS to PS domain in which case return to E-UTRAN does not take
place until the call is completed then:
1. If the UE is in idle mode, i.e. has no PS bearers active, it uses normal cell reselection to return to E-UTRAN, the operator may
prioritise E-UTRAN reselection to encourage a rapid return to E-UTRAN
2. If the UE is in connected mode, i.e. has PS bearers active, the UE is subject to normal inter RAT HO procedures
