SRVCC -Single Radio Voice Call Continuity

SRVCC

SRVCC is Single Radio Voice Call Continuity, It is 4G network feature that allows ongoing voice calls to be seamlessly transferred between 4G and 2G/3G Radio Access Networks. SRVCC feature is required for 4G VoLTE networks which do not continuous RF Coverage and coverage gaps are filled with 2G/3G RF coverage .

We can see above picture for example, where we have 2G/3G cell having a wider coverage and 4G Cells with small coverage foot prints. When a UE moves from one 4G cell to another 4G cell due to no-overlap 4G coverage UE has to go through 2G/3G Coverage. So When UE is in Voice Call session and moving though 4G and 3G/2G Coverage it needs to have Voice Continuity for good user experience.

So with SRVCC feature enable UE can be easily handover from 4G Cell to 2G/3G Cell and Voice call session will continue and User will not notice and interruption. UE may observe it is a single cell with allowing the Voice Continuity.
