If different reselection priority are set for different LTE frequency, then UE will search for
the highest priority frequency, if no suitable cell then select second priority frequency.
RSRP
UE performs cell reselection to a higher priority inter-frequency cell when all the following
conditions are met:

In the UMTS network, SIB19 includes the absolute priority of the serving cell and the absolute priority of
each LTE frequency. When an LTE frequency has a higher absolute priority than the serving cell, the UE
reselects an LTE cell on this frequency if other additional conditions for LTE cell reselection are also met.
When the absolute priority of each LTE frequency is lower than that of the serving cell, the UE reselects
another UMTS cell if other additional conditions for UMTS cell reselection are also met.

CS Fallback (CSFB)
CSFB (CS Fallback Function) is specified by ETSI TS 123 272 v10.6.0 and is a mandatory
requirement which supports traditional CS voice in LTE networks prior to IMS (IP
Multimedia Subsystem) deployment.
In the overlaid coverage of LTE and UMTS, UMTS provides voice service for the multi-mode
UE. When CSFB voice service is initiated, the LTE data service will be handed / redirected
over to UMTS network.
The benefit of having CSFB is that voice service can be deployed quickly reusing traditional
UMTS core with no additional equipment, thus saving on cost and minimizing new
investment.
In addition, it also guarantees users data service continuity when re-direction or handover of
the PS service occurs.

Huawei Fast Return from UMTS/GSM to LTE feature enables a UE that moves from an LTE cell to a
UMTS cell through CSFB to quickly return to the LTE network after the CS service ended, by eNodeB
sending target LTE frequency from UMTS/GSM when UE release the CS call, in the RRC
release/Channel release message, not waiting for PS service disconnected.
This feature will help user to return to LTE in time, to utilize LTE network for PS services.
Recommended implementation to UMTS/GSM cells with co-located LTE cells or within fully continuous
LTE coverage area, to avoid UE fail to go back to LTE in areas that LTE coverage is not enough for UE
to register then cause UE lost service before UE reselect back to UMTS.
Since now Telkomsel LTE network is just started, LTE cannot provide fully continuous coverage, so fast return
is only enabled in co-located 3G/2G cells.
Thus in case if UE make CSFB call to 3G/2G, but UE move to another neighboring cell without co-located LTE
site, then Fast Return wouldnt trigger, thus UE have to wait all background PS service release (if any),
especially for smartphone user with many background PS connections. Thus user might experience relatively
slow back to LTE (typically 1~2 minutes if user is not intended to access internet).
