2G TO 3G CS HANDOVER STANDARD PARAMETERS


is2GTo3GCSHandoverAllowedWithinRnc: This parameter indicates whether the 2G To 3G CS
Handover is allowed within the RNC Need to be set as TRUE in RNC. .(
RNC\RADIOACESSSERVICE).


FOLLOWING PARAMETERS NEED TO BE DEFINED AT SOURCE CELL (2G END):


Target 3G cell needs to be defined as a External cell at 2G
end.Scrambling Code, LAC,LocalCellID, CellID,RNCID of target 3G cell
need to be defined as shown below :







As a final step, Adjacency needs to be created between source-2G cell
& target 3g cell as shown below :

EN_3G_HO) - (EN_3G_HO)
HMI Name EN_3G_HO Parameter Name
Logical Name EN_3G_HO
Definition This flag enables/disables the 2G-3G handover
Coding rules 0: disabled, 1: enabled
Mandatory rules 1) For Non Evolium serving cell:
The cell neighborhood for handover is controlled by EN_3G_HO
and FDD_ARFCN values.
- since the neighborhood of the serving cell for handover is 2G
only, then there can be up to 32 different

This parameter is broadcast on BCCH and on PBCCH if there is a
PBCCH allocated in the serving cell.
This parameter is meaningful only if EN_3G_HO is set to enabled.
If disabled, this parameter is considered as equal to zero (the MS
shall report only 2G cells).
This parameter is also broadcast on SACCH.

Cell Capacity Class) - (CELL_CAPACITY_CLASS)

Definition Capacity class of the cell, measured on a linear scale, ranging from
1 to 100.
Coding rules binary value on 8 bits
Mandatory

Recommended
rules
the Cell Capacity Class shall follow the recommended rule: "In
order to fulfill the 3GPP requirement of having a linear scale in the
capacity class, ranging from 1 to 100:
Cell Capacity Class is a linear function of the Cell capacity: value 1
shall indicate the minimum capacity class, and 100 shall indicate
the maximum capacity class. Capacity class should be measured
on a linear scale.

The default value of Cell Capacity Class should depend on the
number of available TCHs in the cell and since there may be up to
126 TCH channels in one GSM cell:

Cell_Capacity_Class = int{[(99/125) x (NTCH - 1)] + 1}

where NTCH is the number of all TCH channels in the Cell."
