If the eNodeB knows that PS HO is supported the procedure in clause 7.3 Mobile
Terminating call in Active Mode - PS HO supported may be applied from step 2, in
Clause 7.3, and onwards
If the eNodeB knows that PS HO is not supported the procedure in clause 7.4
Mobile Terminating call in Active Mode No PS HO support shall be applied from
step 2 in Clause 7.4, and onwards
