The previous hand-over implementation only supported "link budget" type hand-overs, where a hand-over would be performed as a mobile station moves around from one cell to another cell. However, a number of network configurations have [largely] overlapping cell coverage areas.

This means that the voice call user data between two subscribers within the same cell/area goes all the way into the core network (MSC) and from there all the way back to the same cell/area and the other subscriber. 3GPP designed LCLS as a remedy to that: The BSC can detect when two legs of the same call pass through it, and then (under control of the MSC) locally switch the voice call, saving significant capacity on the A interface back-haul.
