Issue

When 99 user in BMA boundary move outside BMA

area, it can only hand over to GSM 99, due to BMA
outside F1/00 can not support the handover.

The RTWP of outside F1/00 cell may rise, the RTWP

of F1/99+00 cell may rise little.

Couple Loss1
99

GSM 99

Analysis
2D trigger at -100dBmCPICH is 33dBmthe couple loss is 133dB
From the link budget, in some scenarios, 99 user will cause the RTWP rise of outside F1/00 B cell. This is relevant with service and UE
position.
Solution
99 user should be able to handover to GSM asap.00 user should keep intra-frequency handover.

1A threshold is 3dB
Assume RTWP of outside F1/00 is -98dBm,before 1A event triggered, the interference to F1/99+00 is calculated above.
This kind of interference is temporary for after 1A triggered, F1/99+00 can control the UE TX power.

Impact:
If the UE Tx power limited trigger threshold set too
high, the effect is not obvious.
If the UE Tx power limited trigger threshold set too
lower,F1/00 user may trigger handover to GSM

Solution:
When 99 user move to F1/00 B cell, firstly active set is added, then trigger Inter-RAT handover
process. Due to this mechanism, the UE TX Power of 99 user can be controlled by F1/00 B cell. So
the Uplink interference can be eliminated some.
Impact:
Some Product code should be modified. Some resource of F1/00 B cell is used.
