2 Overview of Handover
Handover is a basic function of the cellular mobile network. The purpose of handover is to ensure that a UE in CELL_DCH state is served continuously when it moves.
Figure 2-1 shows the handovers supported by the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), which include intra-frequency handover, inter-frequency handover,
and inter-RAT handover.

3 Intra-Frequency Handover
3.1 Overview
Intra-frequency handover is classified into:
Intra-frequency soft handover: Multiple radio links are connected to the UE at the same time.
Intra-frequency hard handover: Only one radio link is connected to the UE.
Intra-NodeB soft handover (WRFD-020201 Intra Node B Softer Handover, also known as softer handover)
Intra-frequency soft handover is characterized by the function that the UE can be connected to multiple Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) access points at
the same time. Addition and/or release of radio links are controlled by the ACTIVE SET UPDATE procedure.
Table 3-1 Differences between soft handover and softer handover
Item
Softer Handover
Soft Handover
Scenario
Downlink
signal
The HO_INTRA_FREQ_SOFT_HO_SWITCH parameter is used to determine whether to enable both soft handover and softer handover. By default, this switch is set to ON,
indicating that both soft handover and softer handover are enabled. After the RNC receives the event 1A, 1B, 1C, or 1D report, it initiates the corresponding soft handover
procedure for the UE. For example, the RNC can add or delete links.
The DivCtrlField parameter indicates whether maximum-ratio combination is enabled in the uplink during softer handover. When the NodeB decides not to perform maximumratio combination (softer combination), the RNC performs selective combination.
No Iur interface is present between RNCs. In this scenario, intra-frequency hard handover instead of soft handover can be performed between two RNCs.
The Iur interface is congested between RNCs. In this scenario, also intra-frequency hard handover instead of soft handover can be performed between two RNCs.
The intra-frequency soft handover fails and intra-frequency hard handover is allowed.
When intra-frequency soft handover fails because of a congestion problem of the target cell, the RNC tries an intra-frequency hard handover with a lower service bit rate.
The HO_INTRA_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH parameter is used to determine whether to enable intra-frequency hard handover. By default, this switch is set to ON.
Whether intra- or inter- frequency hard handover is allowed over the Iur interface depends on the setting of the HHOTRIG parameter.
Whether inter RNC soft Handover is allowed depends on the setting of the SHOTRIG parameter.
CS_SHO_SWTICH: If CS_SHO_SWTICH is checked, soft handover for CS service over the Iur interface is allowed.
HSPA_SHO_SWTICH: If HSPA_SHO_SWTICH is checked, soft handover for HSPA service over the Iur interface is allowed.
NON_HSPA_SHO_SWTICH: If NON_HSPA_SHO_SWTICH is checked, soft handover for non-HSPA PS service over the Iur interface is allowed.
If the RRC connection has been set up but the Radio Bearers (RBs) have not, whether a cross-Iur soft handover can be executed is determined by
HO_MC_SIGNAL_IUR_INTRA_SWITCH parameter. Only if the switch is set to ON, can the cross-Iur soft handover be executed.
Hysteresis value
Upon the reception of an event report from the UE, the RNC makes a handover decision and performs the corresponding handover, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Intra-frequency handover procedure

Description
1A
A primary CPICH enters the reporting range. This indicates that the quality of a cell is close
to the quality of the best cell in the active set. A relatively high combined gain can be
achieved when the cell is added to the active set.
1B
A primary CPICH leaves the reporting range. This indicates that a cell has a lower quality
than the best cell in the active set. The cell has to be deleted from the active set.
1C
A non-active primary CPICH becomes better than an active primary CPICH. This indicates
that the quality of a cell is better than the quality of the worst cell in the active set. The RNC
replaces a cell in the active set with a cell in the monitored set.
1D
Triggering of Event 1A
Event 1A is triggered under the following condition:
CIONew is equal to the sum of CIO and CIOOffset, which adjusts the cell boundary in the handover algorithms. This parameter is determined by network planning according
to actual environment configuration. To facilitate handover in neighboring cell configuration, the parameter is set as a positive value; otherwise, the parameter is set as a
negative value.
W represents Weighted factor, which is determined by the parameter Weight. The total quality of the best cell and the active set is specified by W.
NA is the number of cells not forbidden to affect the reporting range in the active set. The parameter CellsForbidden1A indicates whether adding the cell to the active set
affects the relative threshold of event 1A.
MBest is the measurement value of the best cell in the active set.
R1a is the reporting range or the relative threshold of soft handover. The threshold parameters of the CS non-VP service, VP service, and PS service are as follows:
IntraRelThdFor1ACSVP
IntraRelThdFor1ACSNVP
IntraRelThdFor1APS
For the PS and CS combined services, the threshold for CS services is used.
For the single signaling connection of the UE, the threshold for CS services is used.
Figure 3-2 shows the triggering of event 1A. In this procedure, the default parameter values are used.
If the signal quality of a cell that is not in the active set is higher than Th1A for a period of time specified by TrigTime1A (that is, Time to trigger in Figure 3-2), the UE reports
event 1A.
Th1A = (CPICH Ec/No of the best cell in the active set) - (reporting range for event 1A)
If Weighted factor > 0, then Th1A = (general signal quality of all the cells in the active set) - (reporting range for event 1A).
Reporting range for event 1A is equal to the value of IntraRelThdFor1ACSVP, IntraRelThdFor1ACSNVP, or IntraRelThdFor1APS.

Triggering of Event 1B
Event 1B is triggered under the following condition:
CIOOld is equal to the sum of CIO and CIOOffset, which is the offset between the cell in the reporting range and the best cell in the active set.
W represents Weighted factor, used to weight the quality of the active set. The total quality of the best cell and the active set is specified by the parameter Weight.
NB is the number of cells not forbidden to affect the reporting range in the active set. The parameter CellsForbidden1B indicates whether adding the cell to the active set
affects the relative threshold of event 1B.
MBest is the measurement value of the best cell in the active set.
R1b is the reporting range or the relative threshold of soft handover. The threshold parameters of the CS non-VP service, VP service, and PS services are as follows:
IntraRelThdFor1BCSVP
IntraRelThdFor1BCSNVP
IntraRelThdFor1BPS
For the PS and CS combined services, the threshold for CS services is used.
If the UE currently has only signaling connections, the threshold for CS services is used.
H1b is the hysteresis value of event 1B, which is determined by the parameter Hystfor1B.
Figure 3-3 shows the triggering of event 1B. In this procedure, the default parameter values are used.
Figure 3-3 Triggering of event 1B
C: curve of Th1B
Th1B = (CPICH Ec/No of the best cell in the active set) - (reporting range for event 1B)
Where,
Reporting range for event 1B is equal to the value of IntraRelThdFor1BCSVP, IntraRelThdFor1BCSNVP, or IntraRelThdFor1BPS.
If Weight > 0, then Th1B = (general signal quality of all the cells in the active set) - (reporting range for event 1B).
If the signal quality of a cell in the active set is lower than Th1B for a period of time specified by TrigTime1B (Time to trigger in the figure), the UE reports event 1B.
Triggering of Event 1C
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...

CIONew is the cell individual offset value of the cell in the reporting range. It is equal to the sum of CIO and CIOOffset, which is the offset between the cell in the reporting
range and the best cell in the active set.
MInAS is the measurement value of the worst cell in the active set.
H1c is the hysteresis value of event 1C, which is determined by the parameter Hystfor1C.
Figure 3-4 shows the triggering of event 1C. In this procedure, the default parameter values are used.
Figure 3-4 Triggering of event 1C
E: curve of Th1C
Th1C = (CPICH Ec/No of the worst cell in the active set) + (hysteresis/2)
Where,
If the signal quality of a cell not in the active set is higher than Th1C for a period of time specified by TrigTime1C (Time to trigger in the figure), the UE reports event 1C, as
shown in the figure.
The UE reports event 1C for qualified cells after the number of cells in the active set reaches the maximum value. The maximum number of cells in the active set can be set by
the MaxCellInActiveSet parameter.
Triggering of Event 1D
Event 1D is triggered under the following condition:
10 x Log(MNotBest) + CIONotBest 10 x Log(MBest) + CIOBest + H1d/2
MNotBest is the measurement value of a cell that is not the best cell.
CIONotBest is equal to the sum of CIO and CIOOffset, which is the offset between the cell in the reporting range and the best cell in the active set.
MBest is the measurement value of the best cell in the active set.
CIOBest is the cell individual offset value of the best cell. This parameter is not used for event 1D.
H1d is the hysteresis value of event 1D, which is determined by the parameter Hystfor1D.
Figure 3-5 shows the triggering of event 1D. In this procedure, the default parameter values are used.
Figure 3-5 Triggering of event 1D
B: signal quality curve of a cell in the active set or the monitored set
C: curve of Th1D
If the signal quality of a cell not in the active set is higher than Th1D for a period of time specified by TrigTime1D (Time to trigger in the figure), the UE reports event 1D.

Table 3-2 lists different types of intra-frequency handover decision and execution based on different events.
Table 3-2 Intra-frequency handover decision and execution
Event
1A
When receiving an event 1A report, the RNC decides whether to add a cell.
For event 1A, the UE can report more than one cell in the event list in one measurement
report. These cells are in the list of the MEASUREMENT CONTROL message, and they are
sequenced in descending order of measurement quantity.
For the cells in the list, the RNC adds the radio link to the active set only if the number of cells
in the active set does not reach the maximum value. This operation is not required if the
number of cells in the active set reaches a specified value.
1B
When receiving an event 1B report, the RNC decides whether to delete a cell.
For event 1B, if there is more than one radio link in the active set, the RNC decides whether to
delete a radio link. This operation is not required if there is only one radio link in the active set.
1C
When receiving an event 1C report, the RNC decides whether to change the worst cell.
For event 1C, the UE reports a list that contains good cells and the cells to be replaced, and
sequences the cells in descending order by measurement quantity. After receiving the list from
the UE, the RNC replaces the bad cells in the active set with the good cells in the list.
1D
As stipulated in related protocols, an event 1D report includes information about only one cell.
This cell can be listed in an active set or a monitored set. The RNC learns that the quality of
this cell is better than that of the serving cell and takes one of the following actions:
If the reported cell is in the active set, the RNC decides whether to change the best cell or
reconfigure measurement control.
If the reported cell is in the monitored set, then:
If the number of cells in the active set has not reached the maximum value, the RNC adds
the cell to the active set.
If the number of cells in the active set has reached the maximum value, the RNC replaces
the worst cell in the active set with the reported cell.
The RNC determines whether the intra-frequency hard handover scenarios are applicable. If
any scenario is applicable, the RNC performs an intra-frequency hard handover.
1. The RNC evaluates whether the measurement quantity of the cell failing to be admitted meets the condition of rate reduction.
If
the condition is met, the RNC performs a rate reduction process for the access service immediately, as described in the next section Procedure of Rate Reduction
Execution.
If
the condition is not met, the RNC performs the next step (Step 2).
best_cell is the CPICH Ec/No measurement value of the best cell in the active set.
RelThdForDwnGrd
is a parameter.
2. The RNC evaluates whether the number of SHO failures in the cell exceeds the ShoFailNumForDwnGrd.
If the number of SHO failures in the cell is smaller than the ShoFailNumForDwnGrd:
If
the timer has not been started, the RNC starts it.
If
the timer has been started, the RNC increments the SHO failure counter by one.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...
12/28/2010
Handover
Page 12 of 148
The SHO failure counter of a cell is used to record the number of SHO failures in this cell. For each UE, the RNC records the number of SHO failures in three cells at most.
For SHO failures in any other cells, the RNC does not record the number.
Before the SHO failure evaluation timer expires, no action is taken and the RNC waits for the next measurement report period.
When the SHO failure evaluation timer expires, the RNC sets the SHO failure counter of the corresponding cell to 0 and ends the evaluation.
If the number of SHO failures in the cell is larger than or equal to the parameter ShoFailNumForDwnGrd, the RNC performs a rate reduction process for the access service,
1. The RNC performs a rate reduction process for the access service. The method of determining the access rate after the rate reduction is the same as that described in Rate
Negotiation of Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
2. After the rate reduction succeeds, the RNC immediately attempts to add this cell to the active set without measurement:
If the cell succeeds in admitting the UE, the RNC adds the radio link and sets the SHO failure counter of the cell to 0 and ends the execution.
If the cell fails to admit the UE, the RNC starts the penalty timer (DcccShoPenaltyTime) to avoid an increase in the rate triggered by DCCC within the period. Also in this
period, the RNC sets the SHO failure counter of the cell to 0 and ends the execution.
If the RNC fails to perform a soft handover again, it performs the estimation procedure and the execution procedure, as previously described.
The connections involved in the intra-NodeB intra-frequency softer handover change are as follows:
During the softer handover, both cell 1 and cell 2 are connected to the UE.
After the softer handover, only cell 2 is connected to the UE. Cell 1 is removed from the active set.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...

Description
Coverage
handover
If a moving UE leaves the coverage of the current frequency, the RNC needs to trigger
the coverage-based inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover to avoid call drops.
For details, see 5 Coverage or QoS Handover.
QoS
handover
If the link quality becomes worse, the Link Stability Control Algorithm may trigger the
QoS-based inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover to avoid call drops.
For details, see 5 Coverage or QoS Handover.
LDR
handover
When the LDR function detects the basic congestion, the RNC chooses some UEs and
performs the inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover according to user priorities and
service priorities to balance the load between inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells.
For details, see 6 Load Handover.
Service
handover
HCS
handover
If the switch is set to ON, the RNC initiates the active set quality measurement after the RRC connection setup is completed (before the RB setup).
If the switch is set to OFF, the RNC initiates the active set quality measurement after the RB setup is completed.
HO_MC_MEAS_BEYOND_UE_CAP_SWITCH: The switch decides whether the neighboring cell will be sent in the inter-frequency measurement control message when the
frequency of the neighboring cell is not included in the measurement capability of the UE. The reported measurement capability of the UE is not the same as the actual
measurement capability of the UE. Measurement capability at some frequencies may not be reported due to the limitation of the version of UE protocol.
If the switch is set to ON, the RNC sends the inter-frequency measurement control message with the neighboring cell, whose frequency is not included in the measurement
capability of the UE.
If the switch is set to OFF, the RNC sends the inter-frequency measurement control message without the neighboring cell, whose frequency is not included in the
measurement capability of the UE.

The advantage of periodical measurement report is that if the handover fails, the RNC reattempts the handover to the same cell after receiving the periodical measurement
report from the UE. This increases the probability of the success of inter-frequency handover.
Based on the measurement control message received from the RNC, the UE periodically reports the measurement quality of the target cell. Then, based on the measurement
report, the RNC makes the handover decision and performs handover.
In inter-frequency or inter-RAT coverage or QoS handover, event 2B/2D/2F or periodical measurement takes both CPICH Ec/No and RSCP as measurement quantities.
In coverage-based inter-RAT handover, the system delivers both CPICH Ec/N0 and CPICH RSCP for 2D/2F measurement. To deliberately limit the types of measurement
quantity, you can set the corresponding threshold of the limited measurement quantity to the minimum value. For example, if event 2D of CS service Ec/No can be reported
but the RSCP cannot, the parameter InterRATCSThd2DRSCP or InterFreqCSThd2DRSCP is set to the minimum value, that is, -115.
In inter-RAT coverage handover, the event 3A measurement quantity is set through the parameter MeasQuantityOf3A.
In inter-RAT QoS handover, the event 3A measurement quantity is set through the parameter UsedFreqMeasQuantityForQos3A.

Triggering of Event 2D
After the conditions of event 2D are fulfilled and maintained until the TimeToTrig2D is reached, the UE sends the event 2D measurement report message.
Event 2D is triggered on the basis of the following formula:
QUsed TUsed2d - H2d/2
TUsed2d is the absolute quality threshold of the cell that uses the current frequency. Based on the service type and measurement quantity, this threshold can be configured
through one of the following parameters:

After the conditions of event 2F are fulfilled and maintained until the parameter TimeToTrig2F is reached, the UE reports the event 2F measurement report message.
Event 2F is triggered on the basis of the following formula:
QUsed TUsed2f + H2f/2
Where,
TUsed2f is the absolute quality threshold of the cell that uses the current frequency. Based on the service type and measurement quantity, this threshold can be configured
through one of the following parameters:

H2f is the event 2F hysteresis value set through the parameter HystFor2F.
Triggering of Event 2B
After the conditions of event 2B are fulfilled and maintained until the parameter TimeToTrig2B is reached, the UE reports the event 2B measurement report message.
Event 2B is triggered on the basis of the following formula:
QNoused TNoused2b + H2b/2
QUsed TUsed2b - H2b/2
Where,
QNoused is the measured quality of the cell that uses the other frequencies.
H2b is the event 2B hysteresis value set through the parameter HystFor2B.
TNoused2b is the absolute quality threshold of the cell that uses the other frequencies. Based on the service type and measurement quantity, this threshold can be configured
through one of the following parameters:
TargetFreqCsThdEcN0
TargetFreqCsThdRscp
TargetFreqR99PsThdEcN0
TargetFreqR99PsThdRscp
TargetFreqHThdEcN0
TargetFreqHThdRscp
TUsed2b is the absolute quality threshold of the cell that uses the current frequency.
Based on the service type and measurement quantity, this threshold can be configured through one of the following parameters:
If event 2D with the CPICH RSCP value is received by the RNC:
T

According to 3GPP specifications, TUsed2b of event 2B with the CPICH Ec/No value should be configured as the maximum value 0 dB. If the event 2F with the CPICH
Ec/No value is received by the RNC and TUsed2b of event 2B with the CPICH Ec/No value is modified, TUsed2b is reset to 0 dB.
If event 2D with the CPICH Ec/No value is received by the RNC:

TUsed2b
of event 2B with the CPICH RSCP value is configured as the maximum value 25 dBm.
According to 3GPP specification, TUsed2b of event 2B with the CPICH RSCP value should be configured as the maximum value 25 dBm. If event 2F with the CPICH
RSCP value is received by the RNC and TUsed2b of event 2B with the CPICH RSCP value is modified, TUsed2b is reset to 25 dBm.
The parameters related to HSPA handover are valid only when the switch HO_ALGO_OVERLAY_SWITCH is set to ON. Otherwise, all the PS domain services will take the parameters related to R99 PS
service as a measurement event threshold.
For the PS and CS combined services, the threshold is set to the higher one of CS or PS services.
If the UE has only signaling connections currently, the thresholds for CS services are used.
Triggering of Event 3A
When the conditions for event 3A are met and maintained in time-to-trigger specified by TrigTime3A the UE sends the measurement report of event 3A.
Event 3A is triggered on the basis of the following formula:
QUsed TUsed - H3a/2 and MOtherRAT + CIOOtherRAT TOtherRAT + H3a/2
Where,
QUsed is the measurement value of the cell at the currently used frequency.
TUsed is the absolute quality threshold of the cell that uses the current frequency. Based on the service type and measurement quantity in the coverage-based handover,
TUsed can be configured through the following parameters
UsedFreqCSThdEcN0
UsedFreqCSThdRSCP
UsedFreqHThdEcN0

4. Select the cells in sequence, that is, from high quality cells to low quality ones, to initiate inter-frequency handover in the cells where the hard handover time-to-trigger timer
expires.
Each cell in the measurement report shall be evaluated as mentioned previously. When the hard handover time-to-trigger timers of more than one cell expire at the same time,
the latest measurement report is used for selecting the best inter-frequency neighboring cell for handover. For example, the cell with the highest CPICH RSCP in the latest
measurement report is selected, as shown in Figure 5-2.

1. Add all the pilot cells that trigger event 2B to a cell set and arrange the cells according to the measurement quality of CPICH_Ec/No in descending order.
2. Select the cells in turn from the cell set to perform inter-frequency handover.
CIOother_RAT

For
the PS and CS combined services, one or more handover thresholds for CS services are used.
2. Start the evaluation of the cells that meet the quality requirement and start the time-to-trigger timer. If the measurement report meet the following formula and time-to-trigger
timer does not expire, stop the time-to-trigger timer.
Mother_RAT + CIOother_RAT < Tother_RAT - H/2
The length of the time-to-trigger timer is configured through the parameter TimeToTrigForVerify (with BSIC acknowledged) or the parameter TimeToTrigForNonVerify (with
BSIC unacknowledged).
3. Select the cells in sequence, that is, from high quality cells to low quality ones, to initiate 3G-to-2G handover in the cells where the handover time-to-trigger timer expires.
Capability Requirement
Before deciding the 3G-to-2G handover, the RNC considers 2G cell capability, service capability and UE capability.
2G cell capability: 2G cell capability is configured through the parameter RatCellType. This parameter indicates whether the cell supports the GSM, GPRS, or EDGE.
Service required capability: The Required 2G Capability (Req2GCap) specifies the capability of 2G cells required by inter-RAT handover. This indicates whether the service is
supported by the GSM, GPRS, or EDGE.
UE capability: Upon the reception of the UE capability information message, the RNC decides whether to start the inter-RAT measurement. The information indicates whether
the UE supports the GSM, GPRS, or EDGE.
The following tables describe the impacts of different types of capability on handover decision. If the capability of all 2G neighboring cells does not meet the requirement, the
inter-RAT measurement will not be triggered.

The IE Service Handover Indicator indicates the CN policy for the service handover to the 2G network. This IE is indicated in the Radio Access Bearer (RAB) assignment
signaling assigned by the CN, or provided by the RNC side.
The algorithm switch HoSwitch: HO_INTER_RAT_RNC_SERVICE_HO_SWITCH decides whether the service attribute of inter-RAT handover is based on the RNC or the CN.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...
12/28/2010
Handover
Page 28 of 148
If the switch is set to ON, the service attribute of inter-RAT handover is based on the parameter configured on the RNC side.
If the switch is set to OFF, the service attribute of inter-RAT handover is first based on the CN when the indicator is contained in the RAB assignment signaling assigned by
the CN. If the CN does not allocate a service indicator, the service attribute of inter-RAT handover is based on the RNC side.
Through the SHIND parameter, the service handover indicators are set as follows:
HO_TO_GSM_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM: means that the handover to the 2G network is performed when 2G signals are available.
HO_TO_GSM_SHOULD_NOT_BE_PERFORM: means that the handover to the 2G network is performed when 3G signals are weak but 2G signals are strong.
HO_TO_GSM_SHALL_NOT_BE_PERFORM: means that the handover to the 2G network is not performed even when 3G signals are weak but 2G signals are strong.
For a UE with a single signaling RAB, the RNC supports the handover to the GSM. But it is not recommended.
For the UE accessing combined services (with CS services), the RNC sets the service handover indicator of the UE to that of the CS service, because the CS service has the
highest QoS priority.
For the UE accessing combined services (with only PS services), the RNC sets the service handover indicator of the UE to that of the PS service with the highest QoS priority
If the service handover indicators are not configured by the CN, each indictor can be set to the service parameter index of a service on the RNC. Each service parameter index
is the index of one typical service RAB, which involves a set of service type, source description, CN domain ID, and maximum rate (bit/s).
Run the ADD UEXT2GCELL / MOD UEXT2GCELL command to set SuppRIMFlag to TRUE.
Run the SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH command to set HoSwitch: HO_INTER_RAT_PS_3G2G_RELOCATION_SWITCH parameter to ON.

6 Load Handover
Load handover is used to balance the load among inter-frequency or inter-RAT cells. Load handover falls into the following categories:
In Inter-frequency LDR blind handover, CPICH RSCP of the used frequency is measured.
In inter-frequency LDR measure-based handover, both CPICH_RSCP and CPICH_Ec/No of the target frequency are measured.
this cell is the best cell, the RNC initiates an intra-frequency measurement for Inter-frequency LDR blind handover. The intra-frequency measurement is used to estimate
quality of the inter-frequency cell of the same coverage.
If
this cell is not the best cell, the RNC does not initiate a Inter-frequency LDR blind handover.
If the HO_ALGO_LDR_ALLOW_SHO_SWITCH is set to OFF, the RNC does not initiate a Inter-frequency LDR blind handover.
The

The
list of measured cells contains only the cells that trigger LDR.
3. After receiving from the UE the intra-frequency measurement reports for conditional blind handover, the RNC checks whether the following condition is met:
CPICH RSCP of the cell in the measurement report >= BlindHOQualityCondition
If
the condition is met, the RNC increments the counter of the number of intra-frequency measurement reports for blind handover by 1.
If
the condition is not met, the RNC does not perform a blind handover to the cell that triggers LDR and stops intra-frequency measurement for blind handover.
4. When the counter reaches the value of BlindHOIntrafreqMRAmount, the RNC initiates a blind handover to the target cell.
If the counter does not reach this value, the RNC waits for the next intra-frequency measurement report from the UE.
5. If the timer of intra-frequency measurement for blind handover expires, the RNC does not perform a blind handover to the target cell and stops intra-frequency handover
measurement for blind handover.
If the inter-frequency handover based on coverage or QoS is triggered, the RNC stops the intra-frequency measurement for conditional blind handover.

MOtherRAT is the measurement value of the cell (in another RAT) in the reporting range.
CIOOtherRAT is the cell individual offset value of the cell (in another RAT) in the reporting range, which is equal to the sum of CIO and CIOOffset.
TOtherRAT is the absolute inter-RAT handover threshold. Based on different service types (CS , PS domain R99 service, or PS domain HSPA service), this threshold can be
configured through the following parameters:
TargetRatCsThd
InterRATNCovHOPSThd
For the PS and CS combined services, the threshold(s) for CS services is (are) used.
When a single CS service is initially set up by the UE, the RNC allows the 3G-to-2G service-based handover if CSServiceHOSwitch is set to ON.
When a single PS service is initially set up by the UE, the RNC allows the service-based 3G-to-2G handover if PSServiceHOSwitch is set to ON.

Except for the triggering phase, the procedure of Inter-RAT service Handover is the same as that of the Inter-RAT LDR handover. For details, see section 6.2.3 "Inter-RAT LDR
Handover decision and Execution."
When a service is established, the RNC requests the handover to the GSM based on the service type and service handover indicator assigned by the CN.
Figure 6-3 shows an example of rules for the indicator of the 3G-to-2G handover based on load and service.
Figure 6-3 Example of rules for indicator of 3G-to-2G handover based on load and service
HO_TO_GSM_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM
HO_TO_GSM_SHOULD_NOT_BE_PERFORM
The RNC initiates the service-based 3G-to-2G handover only when the Service Handover Indicator is HO_TO_GSM_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM.
Before deciding the 3G-to-2G handover, the RNC considers 2G cell capability (RatCellType), service required capability (Req2GCap) and UE capability.

In Inter-RAT LDR handover or service handover, load information is interchanged between 2G and 3G networks to facilitate inter-RAT handover (WRFD-020310 3G/2G
Common Load Management).
The load status between the source cell and the target cell can be acquired by interchanging load information between a 3G cell and a 2G cell during the LDR handover and
service handover. Thus, whether to further conduct the handover can be determined to avoid the 2G cell overload and possible handovers to congested cells.
the 2G load is lower than CSHOOut2GloadThd (for CS service), or if the 2G load is lower than PSHOOut2GloadThd (for PS service), the RNC continues the inter-RAT
handover procedure; otherwise, the RNC returns the Relocation Cancel message to the CN to cancel this inter-RAT handover and makes another handover attempt to the
next candidate cell generated in the cell list based on inter-RAT measurement.
If
the Inter-System Information Transparent Container IE, is not included in the RELOCATION COMMAND message, the load information of the 2G target cell is not
considered and this inter-RAT handover is continued.
If the switch NcovHoOn2GldInd is set to OFF, the RNC continues the inter-RAT handover procedure without considering the thresholds.
the switch SndLdInfo2GsmInd is set to ON, the RELOCATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message includes the New BSS To Old BSS Information IE, which includes
the load information of the 3G target cell.
If
the switch SndLdInfo2GsmInd is set to OFF, the RELOCATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message does not include the New BSS To Old BSS Information IE.
2. Depending on the network requirement, the 2G network decides whether to use the load information sent to the 3G network for judgment.
3. When the RNC receives the RELOCATION REQUEST message from the 3G CN,
If
the 3G cell is not in the basic congestion state, the RNC continues the inter-RAT handover procedure.
If
the 3G cell is in the basic congestion state, the RNC returns RELOCATION FAILURE message to the CN to cancel the inter-RAT handover.
For the concept of "basic congestion", see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.

7 HSPA Handover
7.1 HSDPA Handover
7.1.1 HSDPA Intra-Frequency Handover
This section describes the decision and execution of intra-frequency handover, and the handover between a cell that supports the F-DPCH and a cell that does not support the
F-DPCH after the introduction of HSDPA.
Handling of Event 1A
After receiving an event 1A report, the RNC proceeds as follows:
If the number of cells in the active set does not reach the maximum value, the RNC adds the cell to the active set.
If the number of cells in the active set reaches the maximum value, the RNC does not add the radio link to the active set.
Handling of Event 1B
After receiving an event 1B report, the RNC determines whether to delete a cell.
If the cell to be deleted is not an HSDPA serving cell, the cell is directly removed.
If the cell to be deleted is an HSDPA serving cell, then:
If
the new best cell supports HSDPA, the new best cell is reconfigured to be an HSDPA serving cell. If the reconfiguration fails, the service is reconfigured onto DPCH.
If
the new best cell does not support HSDPA, the service is reconfigured onto DPCH to ensure the continuity of the service.
Handling of Event 1C
After receiving an event 1C report, the RNC decides whether to change the worst cell.
If the cell to be replaced is not an HSDPA serving cell, the cell is directly removed.
If the cell to be replaced is an HSDPA serving cell, then:
If
the best cell supports HSDPA, the best cell is reconfigured to be an HSDPA serving cell. If the reconfiguration fails, the service is reconfigured onto DPCH.
If
the best cell does not support HSDPA, the service is reconfigured onto DPCH to ensure the continuity of the service.
Handling of Event 1D
After receiving an event 1D report, the RNC proceeds as follows:
the new best cell in the active set supports HSDPA and the HSPA hysteresis timer (HspaTimerLen) expires, the new best cell is reconfigured to be an HSDPA serving cell.
If
the new best cell in the active set does not support HSDPA, the downlink service is directed to the DCH through the reconfiguration.
Figure 7-1 shows an example of how to handle event 1D in this situation. Assume that the UE moves from HSDPA cell 1 to HSDPA cell 2, that the two cells are intrafrequency neighboring cells, and that all the cells in the active set support HSDPA. The RNC updates the HSDPA serving cell according to the reported event and keeps the
HSDPA serving cell consistent with the best cell.
Figure 7-1 Intra-frequency handover between HSDPA cells when the best cell changes
In the execution procedure mentioned above, CMP_UU_SERV_CELL_CHG_WITH_ASU_SWITCH of the CmpSwitch parameter is used to determine whether the update of
the active set and the change of the serving cell are synchronized. This switch is applicable to only R6 UEs.
If the switch is ON, the UE supports the synchronization of the update of the active set and the change of the serving cell.
If the switch is OFF, the UE reconfigures the change of the serving cell by allocating physical channels after updating the active set.
During the update of the HSDPA serving cell, set the NBMMachsResetAlgoSelSwitch parameter to determine whether to reset the UE MAC-hs.

Handling of Event 1A
After receiving the measurement report, the RNC proceeds as follows:
If the target cell supports HSUPA and the uplink service is carried on the E-DCH, then:
If the current number of cells in the E-DCH active set is smaller than the value of MaxEdchCellInActiveSet, the target cell is added to both the DCH and E-DCH active sets.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...

Otherwise, the target cell is added to only the DCH active set.
After deciding that a cell can be added to the E-DCH active set,
If the admission in the downlink fails, the cell is added to neither the E-DCH active set nor the DCH active set. It waits for the next event 1A report for retry.
Otherwise, if the admission in the downlink succeeds, the RNC perform the HSUPA admission in the uplink.
If
HSUPA admission in the uplink succeeds, the cell is added to the E-DCH active set and the DCH active set.
If
HSUPA admission in the uplink fails, the cell is added only to the DCH active set. If the DCH admission in the uplink still fails, the cell is added to neither the E-DCH active
set nor the DCH active set. It waits for the next event 1A report for retry.
Handling of Event 1B
If the number of radio links in the DCH active set is larger than one, then:
If the cell to be removed is not an HSUPA serving cell, the cell is directly removed.
If the cell to be removed is an HSUPA serving cell, then:
If
the new best cell supports HSUPA, the new best cell is reconfigured to be an E-DCH serving cell.
If
the new best cell does not support HSUPA, the uplink service is redirected to the DCH through the RB reconfiguration.
If the current service is CS Voice over HSPA and the cell to be removed is an E-DCH serving cell, then:
If
the new best cell supports both HSDPA and HSUPA, the cell is reconfigured to be an HS-DSCH serving cell or an E-DCH serving cell.
If
the new best cell supports HSDPA but not HSUPA, the current service is changed from CS Voice over HSPA to CS Voice over DCH. If there remain other HSDPA
services, the serving cell should be updated and the new best cell should be the HS-PDSCH serving cell.
If
the new best cell supports neither HSUPA nor HSDPA, the current service is reconfigured to be CS Voice over DCH.
Whether the cells under the adjacent RNC support CS Voice over HSPA is determined by the RNC-level parameter CSVoiceoverHSPASuppInd.
After the best cell of a UE changes, if the size of the DCH or E-DCH active set of the new best cell is different from those of the old best cell, the RNC removes or reconfigures
radio links to adapt to the size and configuration of the new best cell.
Handling of Event 1C
When event 1C is triggered, the UE reports the event-triggered list that contains good cells and the cells to be replaced, and sequences the cells from the highest to the lowest
quality according to measurement quantity.
After receiving the measurement report, the RNC proceeds as follows:
the current number of cells in the E-DCH active set is smaller than the value of MaxEdchCellInActiveSet, the new cell is added to the E-DCH active set.
If
the current number of cells in the E-DCH active set is equal to the value of MaxEdchCellInActiveSet and the cell to be replaced is also included in the E-DCH active set,
the new cell joins the E-DCH active set through replacement.
If
the current number of cells in the E-DCH active set is equal to the value of MaxEdchCellInActiveSet and the cell to be replaced is not included in the E-DCH active set,
the new cell is added only to the DCH active set.
If the current service is CS Voice over HSPA and the cell to be removed is an E-DCH serving cell, then:
If
the new best cell supports both HSDPA and HSUPA, the cell is reconfigured to be an HS-DSCH serving cell or an E-DCH serving cell.
If
the new best cell supports HSDPA but not HSUPA, the current service is changed from CS Voice over HSPA to CS Voice over DCH through the reconfiguration. If there
remain other HSDPA services, the serving cell should be updated and the new best cell should be the HS-PDSCH serving cell.
If
the new best cell supports neither HSUPA nor HSDPA, the current service is reconfigured to be CS Voice over DCH. If the cell to be removed is an E-DCH serving cell, the
HS-DSCH serving cell must be removed at the same time. Thus, a new E-DCH serving cell or HS-DSCH serving cell must be determined. The method is the same as that of
removing the serving cell, as described in the previous section of Handling of Event 1B.
If the new cell does not support HSUPA, the cell is added to only the DCH active set.
Handling of Event 1D
If the criteria for intra-frequency hard handover are fulfilled, the RNC performs intra-frequency hard handover after receiving the event 1D report. If the criteria for intra-frequency
hard handover are not fulfilled, the RNC performs intra-frequency soft handover based on the measurement report.
If the uplink service is carried on the E-DCH, then:
If the new best cell in the active set supports HSUPA and the HSPA hysteresis timer (HspaTimerLen) expires, the E-DCH serving cell becomes the best cell. The HSPA
hysteresis timer is restarted after the cell change.
If the new best cell in the active set does not support HSUPA,
The
uplink service is directed to the DCH through the reconfiguration. If the reconfiguration fails, the service is still carried on the E-DCH. The UE is connected to the new
best cell only on the DCH.
The uplink service is still carried on the DCH. After handover, the RNC may retry to configure the service on E-DCH. For details, see 7.5 HSPA Retry
If the new best cell supports both HSUPA and HSDPA, the cell is reconfigured to be an HSPA serving cell.
Otherwise, the service is changed from CS Voice over HSPA to CS Voice over DCH through the reconfiguration.
Triggering of Event 1J
Event 1J is triggered under the following condition:
10 x Log(MNew) + CIONew 10 x Log(MInAS) + CIOInAS + H1j/2
MNew is the measurement result of the cell not in the E-DCH active set but in the DCH active set.
CIONew and CIOInAS refer to the offset of each cell.
MInAS is the measurement result of the cell in the E-DCH active set with the lowest measurement result.
If the measurement result is CPICH-RSCP, MNew and MInAS are expressed in mW.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...

B: signal quality curve of the worst cell in the E-DCH active set
C: signal quality curve of a cell not in the E-DCH active set but included in DCH active set
D: signal quality curve of a cell not in the E-DCH active set but included in DCH active set
Page 36 of 148
In Figure 7-5, the hysteresis and the cell individual offsets for all cells equal 0.
The first measurement report is sent when primary CPICH D becomes better than primary CPICH B. The "cell measurement event result" of the measurement report contains
the information of primary CPICH D and CPICH B.
On the assumption that the E-DCH active set has been updated after the first measurement report (E-DCH active set is now primary CPICH A and primary CPICH D), the
second report is sent when primary CPICH C becomes better than primary CPICH A. The "cell measurement event result" of the second measurement report shows that primary
CPICH C is better than primary CPICH A in quality.
The following parameters need to be set on the RNC LMT:
ReportIntervalfor1J: report interval for event 1J after change to the periodic report
HO_INTRA_FREQ_RPRT_1J_SWITCH: measurement control switch for event 1J. When the switch is ON, the UE version is R6 and event 1J is included in the intrafrequency measurement control message.
After receiving the intra-frequency measurement report from the UE, the RNC decides whether to go to the execution phase, depending on the information in the report.
Handling of Event 1J
Event 1J provides the solution to the issue of how to add an HSUPA cell in a DCH active set to an E-DCH active set. This event is triggered when a non-active E-DCH but active
DCH primary CPICH becomes better than an active E-DCH primary CPICH.
When event 1J is triggered, the UE reports the event-triggered list that contains good cells and the cells to be replaced, and sequences the cells from the highest to the lowest
quality according to measurement quantity.
After receiving the measurement report, the RNC proceeds as follows:
If the current number of cells in the E-DCH active set is smaller than the value of MaxEdchCellInActiveSet, the cell where event 1J is triggered is reconfigured to E-DCH.
If the current number of cells in the E-DCH active set is equal to the value of MaxEdchCellInActiveSet, the RNC searches the measurement report for the non-serving
Cell_EDCH with the lowest measured quality in the E-DCH active set. Then, the uplink of the cell where event 1J is triggered is reconfigured from DCH to E-DCH, and the
uplink of CELL-EDCH is reconfigured from E-DCH to DCH.
When the uplink service is carried on the E-DCH with 2 ms TTI, if a cell that supports only 10 ms TTI is to be added to the E-DCH active set, the source cell undergoes a radio
bearer reconfiguration to 10 ms TTI. A soft handover to the target cell is performed.
Upon each handover, if a radio link needs to be added, removed, or replaced, the RNC judges whether all the cells in the E-DCH active set and the UE support 2 ms TTI.
If they all support 2 ms TTI and the uplink service is currently carried on the E-DCH with 10 ms TTI, the RNC reconfigures the service to the E-DCH with 2 ms TTI.
If
the reconfiguration fails, a timer is started for periodic retries to the E-DCH with 2 ms TTI.
If
the handover is performed before the timer expires, the timer is stopped.
After
the handover, the RNC decides whether to start the timer, based on the handover result.
Event 2B is triggered.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...

Event 2B is triggered.
Page 37 of 148
Event 2B is triggered.
If the current service is CS Voice over HSPA and the target cell supports both HSDPA and HSUPA, the target cell is reconfigured as an HSPA serving cell. Otherwise, the
service of CS Voice over HSPA must first be reconfigured as CS Voice over DCH.
Whether the target RNC supports CS Voice over HSPA is determined by the parameter CSVoiceOverHspaSuppInd.
During this procedure, event 2B is triggered. The HSUPA admission request is made for the target cell by the RNC.
If the request is accepted, the handover is performed through the physical channel reconfiguration message.
If the request is rejected, the RB reconfiguration is implemented, and the services on the E-DCH are reconfigured for the DCH.
During this procedure, event 2B is triggered, and the target cell does not support HSUPA. The DCH admission request is made for the target cell. After the request is accepted,
the RB reconfiguration is implemented, and the services on the E-DCH are reconfigured for the DCH.
During this procedure, event 2B is triggered. The inter-frequency handover on DCH is performed, and the HSUPA admission request is made for the target cell by the RNC.
After the request is accepted, the RB reconfiguration is implemented, and the services on the DCH are reconfigured for the E-DCH.
If the UE supports CS Voice Over HSPA and the target 3G RAN supports CS Voice Over HSPA, the service is configured as CS Voice over HSPA when the UE is handed
over to the 3G system.
Otherwise, the service is configured as CS Voice Over DCH when the UE is handed over to the 3G system.

If the target cell supports the same technologies as the source cell and the bearer scheme allows the target cell to continue using them, the RNC preselects these
technologies for the target cell.
Otherwise, the RNC preselects the technologies supported by the target cell and used by the UE in the source cell.
For uplink 16QAM, uplink enhanced L2 and DTX/DRX, the preselection schemes are as follows:
During an intra-frequency soft handover, the RNC preselects HSPA+ technologies if both of the following conditions are met:
All
The
During an intra- or inter-frequency hard handover, the RNC preselects the technologies supported by the target cell and used by the UE in the source cell. For example, if the
UE uses MIMO and downlink enhanced L2 in the source cell and the target cell supports only downlink enhanced L2, the RNC preselects only downlink enhanced L2 for the
UE.
For uplink 16QAM, it is degraded to DCH to carry services regardless of whether the admission fails or the resource allocation by the NodeB fails.

8 HCS Handover
8.1 Overview
HCS handover (WRFD-021200 HCS) is one type of inter-frequency handover and inter-RAT handover. HCS handover is based on UE speed estimation, and is also called
speed-based handover.
In a 3G network, hot spots in radio communication may appear with the increase of subscribers and traffic. This requires more cells to increase the network capacity. More cells
and smaller cell radius lead to more frequent handovers of UEs. For a UE in fast movement, frequent handovers reduce call quality, increase uplink interference, and increase
signaling load. Here, Hierarchical Cell Structure (HCS) is a mechanism that arranges different cells at different layers. HCS handover instructs UEs to stay at different layers
based on speed estimation, thus increasing the network capacity.
Figure 8-1 shows an HCS example with three layers.

The pico cell has the highest priority and the macro cell has the lowest priority.
Based on speed estimation, the RNC instructs a fast-moving UE to select a cell with a lower priority to decrease the frequency of handovers, and instructs a slow-moving UE to
select a cell with a higher priority to increase the network capacity. The cell with a lower priority has larger coverage, and the cell with a higher priority has smaller coverage.
RNC supports the HCS with eight layers. The priority level of a cell is set by the HCSPrio parameter.
To allow HCS handover, the RNC must enable the function through the HoSwitch: HO_ALGO_HCS_SPEED_EST_SWITCH parameter.
http://127.0.0.1:52199/hedex/pages/150445741/03%20(2010-10-15)/150445741/03%20(...

handover from the micro cell to the macro cell. For different types of handover, the RNC acts differently.
the handover is performed from a macro cell to a micro cell, the RNC sends an inter-frequency measurement control message. After the UE reports event 2C for interfrequency handover or 3C for inter-RAT handover, the RNC performs the handover decision.
If
the handover is performed from a micro cell to a macro cell, the RNC directly performs blind handover, ignoring the measurement procedure.
the handover is performed from a micro cell to a macro cell and the target cell allows blind handover (configured through the parameter BlindHOFlag), the RNC performs
blind handover to the target cell.
If
the blind handover fails or the handover is performed from a macro cell to a micro cell, the RNC starts the inter-frequency (or inter-RAT) measurement procedure and
performs the handover procedure to the cell with the best quality after receiving event 2C or 3C from the UE.
If HO_ALGO_HCS_SPEED_EST_SWITCH is set to ON and the cell is layered with a not lowest priority, the RNC initiates a high-speed estimation for the UE after receiving
an event 1D report.
If the number of changes of the best cell for the UE is higher than the NFastSpdEst within the TFastSpdEst, the RNC decides that the UE is in fast movement.
If the HO_ALGO_HCS_SPEED_EST_SWITCH is set to ON and the cell is layered with a not highest priority, the RNC starts the timer TCycleSlow after the RRC connection
is set up.
When the timer TCycleSlow expires, the RNC initiates a low-speed estimation for the UE.
If the number of changes of the best cell for the UE is lower than the NSlowSpdEst within the TSlowSpdEst, the RNC decides that the UE is in slow movement.
If frequent changes of the best cell occur, several events 1D for the same cell may be recorded. This may lead to inaccurate UE speed estimation. Therefore, a mechanism is
used for anti-ping-pong event 1D recording.
During the recent period specified by TRelateLength, if multiple event 1Ds are reported for a certain cell, only the first one is recorded.
In inter-frequency HCS handover, event 2C takes only CPICH Ec/No as measurement quantity.
In inter-RAT HCS handover, event 3C takes only GSM RSSI as measurement quantity.
Triggering of Event 2C
When the estimated quality of a non-used frequency is above a certain threshold, the UE report event 2C to the RNC.
After the conditions of event 2C are fulfilled and maintained until the parameter TrigTime2C is reached, the UE reports the event 2C measurement report message..
Event 2C is triggered on the basis of the following formula:
QNoused TNoused2c + H2c/2
Where,
QNoused is the measured quality of the cell that uses the other frequencies.
TNoused2c is the absolute quality threshold of the cell that uses the other frequencies, namely, InterFreqNCovHOThdEcN0.
If the UE is in fast movement, the RNC instructs the UE to select a cell with a lower priority.
If the UE is in slow movement, the RNC instructs the UE to select a cell with a higher priority.
When the RNC instructs the UE to select a cell with a lower or higher priority, the neighboring cells whose frequency band is not supported by the UE are not taken into account.
If there are neighboring cells with several candidate frequencies, the RNC selects one of the frequencies randomly.
If the UE is located in the overlap between the cell with a higher priority and the cell with a lower priority, a blind handover is initiated.
1. The RNC selects the neighboring cells with a lower HCS priority level to generate a cell list. The neighboring cells whose frequency band is not supported by the UE are not
taken into account. If there are neighboring cells with several candidate frequencies, the RNC selects one of the frequencies randomly.
2. The RNC searches for neighboring cells for blind handover according to BlindHOFlag from the cell list generated in step 1.
3. The RNC chooses a neighboring cell whose BlindHOQualityCondition value is the smallest for blind handover.
The RNC determines whether the target cell supports the current service. If the target cell does not support the current service, the RNC does not perform the blind handover.
The target cell can be a UMTS cell or a GSM cell. The priority of an intra-RAT inter-frequency blind handover is higher than that of an inter-RAT blind handover.
If the neighboring cell for blind handover is not configured or the blind handover fails, a measurement is initiated for cells with a lower priority.
The target cell is decided on the basis of the measurement report from the UE.

If the best cell changes, the high-speed estimation for the UE is triggered.
Reporting of event 2D
QoS problem caused by the quality imbalance between uplink and downlink
Reporting of event 2D indicates that the inter-frequency handover based on coverage is triggered, which is of high priority to be processed.
If the HCS handover algorithm is performing inter-frequency measurement when event 2D is reported, the measurement control is modified according to the algorithm of interfrequency handover based on coverage.
If the RNC is performing inter-frequency measurement after event 2D is reported, HCS handover will not be executed.
If the measurement due to other causes stops, then HCS handover measurement is restarted. Other causes may be reception of event 2F, expiration of measurement control,
or others.
When a speed-based inter-frequency handover is triggered, the RNC determines first whether the timer specified by IFAntiPingpangTimerLength expires.
If the timer does not expire, the RNC cancels this handover.
9 Blind Handover
Overview
There are two types of blind handover: emergent blind handover and non-emergent blind handover.
Emergent blind handover is triggered by 1F event which indicates the used frequency becomes worse. The UE must perform emergent handover to avoid call drops.
Non-emergent blind handover may be triggered by LDR, DRD, or HCS speed estimation.
For details about LDR and DRD, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
For details about HCS speed estimation, see chapter 8 "HCS Handover."
The parameter BlindHoFlag is configured for neighboring cells and determines whether a blind handover to this cell is allowed.
The parameter BlindHOPrio indicates the blind handover priority of the cell. The value 0 represents the highest priority.
Triggering of Event 1F
After the conditions of event 1F are fulfilled and maintained until the parameter TrigTime1F is reached, the UE reports the event 1F measurement report message.
Event 1F is triggered on the basis of the following formula:
10LogMOld T1f - H1f/2
Where,

10 Handover Protection
10.1 Anti-Ping-Pong
Inter-Frequency Anti-Ping-Pong
After an inter-frequency handover based on coverage or an inter-frequency blind handover based on event 1F occurs, the RNC starts the anti-ping-pong algorithm to prevent
frequent switching between inter-frequency handovers triggered by different causes.
The inter-frequency anti-ping-pong algorithm is as follows:
1.
When a coverage-based inter-frequency handover or an inter-frequency blind handover based on event 1F occurs, the RNC starts the timer specified by
IFAntiPingpangTimerLength for the UE.
2. When a non-coverage-based inter-frequency handover is triggered, the RNC determines whether the timer specified by IFAntiPingpangTimerLength expires.
If
the timer does not expire, the RNC cancels the handover.
If
After the inter-frequency handover fails, the retry timer for the cell is started.
After the retry timer expires, the UE makes a handover attempt to the cell again until the retry number exceeds the maximum allowed retry number. If the handover succeeds
or two new event 2B reports are received, the periodical retry is stopped.
For the inter-frequency handover based on coverage or QoS, the following two parameters determine the retry period and the maximum number of retry times:
For the inter-frequency handover based on speed, the following two parameters determine the retry period and the maximum number of retry times:
Retry timer:PeriodFor2C
Retry timer:PeriodFor3A
The retry timer and maximum retry number for LDR-based and service-based inter-RAT handover are:
The inter-RAT handover retry algorithm works in the following two signaling procedures:
Relocation
Relocation
Otherwise, the related retry timer for the cell is started. After the retry timer expires, the UE makes handover attempts to the cell again until the retry number exceeds the
maximum retry number.
3. If the RNC receives the RELOCATION COMMAND message, the handover on the Uu interface continues.
4. If the handover succeeds or the new event 3A or 3C report is received, the periodical retry is stopped.
For CS services or CS and PS combined services, the HANDOVER FROM UTRAN signaling procedure on the Uu interface is performed only when the handover based on
CS services is made.
For a PS service or combined PS services, the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN or HANDOVER FROM UTRAN signaling procedure on the Uu interface is performed.
If the HANDOVER FROM UTRAN FAILURE or CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN FAILURE message is received, the handover on the Uu interface fails.
If the "Inter-RAT handover failure cause" in HANDOVER FROM UTRAN FAILURE message is "Configuration unacceptable", or if the "Inter-RAT change failure cause" in CELL
CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN FAILURE message is "Configuration unacceptable", the RNC does not make a handover retry to the cell.
Otherwise, the related retry timer for the cell is started. After the retry timer expires, the UE makes a handover attempt to the cell again until the retry number exceeds the
maximum number.
If the handover succeeds or the new event 3A or 3C report is received, the periodical retry is stopped.

The process of changing multimedia services back to speech services during call setup. The RNC does not take part in the process. Therefore, the detailed description of
fallback process is not given hereinafter.
The process of changing multimedia services back to speech services during the call.
The RNC decides to send an inter-RAT handover request after receiving periodical measurement reports of event 1A, 3A, or 3C.
The service is combined with a VP, and the "Alternative RAB Parameters" in the RAB ASSIGNMENT message is a valid AMR speech format.
1. The CN sends the SRNC a RANAP RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message to set up the VP service.
2. During 3G-to-2G handover, the SRNC sends a RANAP RAB MODIFY REQUEST message to change the VP service to the AMR speech service. In the 3GPP R6 protocol,
the information element (IE) Alternative RAB Configuration Request is also added to the RAB MODIFY REQUEST message, which enables the RNC to request the CN to
change the VP service to the AMR speech service.
3. The MSC initiates the Bearer Capability (BC) negotiation with the UE.
4. After the negotiation, the RNC is requested to perform service change.
When the multimedia fallback ends, the RNC decides whether to perform the 3G-to-2G handover according to the current measurements reported by the UE.
At the beginning of the service setup, the RNC saves the RAB parameters.
The CN initiates the RAB reconfiguration to request both parties to perform the multimedia fallback. The single VP service falls back to the single AMR speech service. The
multi-RAB service combined with VP falls back to the multi-RAB service combined with AMR. If the multimedia fallback succeeds, that is, the video phone in the service falls
back to speech successfully, the inter-RAT handover is initiated. Otherwise, the inter-RAT handover fails.

The maximum number of intra-frequency neighboring cells is 32, which includes the cell itself.
The maximum number of inter-frequency neighboring cells of 2 carriers is 64. No more than 2 carriers of inter-frequency cells can be configured.
If the switch is set to ON, measurement objects are chosen from the neighboring cells of all the cells in the active set.
If the switch is set to OFF, measurement objects are chosen from the neighboring cells of the best cell.
Step 4 The neighboring cells of other cells in the active set are added to Sall in descending order by CPICH Ec/No values of these cells in the active set. The number to be
repeatedly added of each neighboring cell is recorded.
The neighboring cells of the same cell in the active set are added according to Nprio.
If the number of the cells in Sall is more than maximum number of neighboring cells, delete the neighboring cells whose repeated number in Sall is less. The best cell and its

12 Compressed Mode
Overview
Compressed mode control is a mechanism whereby certain idle periods are created in radio frames during which the UE can perform measurements on other frequencies. The
UE must use the compressed mode if the UE needs to measure the pilot signal strength of an inter-frequency cell or inter-RAT cell and has a single-frequency receiver only.
Figure 12-1 Compressed mode
If DlSFLimitCMInd = True,
When
the downlink spreading factor is smaller than or equal to the parameter LimitCMDlSFThd, the compressed mode is disabled.
When
the downlink spreading factor is greater than the parameter LimitCMDlSFThd, the compressed mode is enabled.
If DlSFLimitCMInd = False, the compressed mode is not limited by the downlink spreading factor.
The uplink 384kbps uses SF4. The method of SF/2 is not allowed for the services of SF4.
CMCF_UL_PRECFG_TOLERANCE_SWITCH under CmcfSwitch determines whether to set up the uplink RB of SF4 during the preparation for SF/2 compressed mode.
If CMCF_UL_PRECFG_TOLERANCE_SWITCH is set to ON, the RB of SF4 can be set up during the preparation for SF/2 compressed mode. The inter-frequency or interRAT handover measurement, however, cannot be triggered, because SF4 cannot be compressed to SF2.
If CMCF_UL_PRECFG_TOLERANCE_SWITCH is set to OFF, the RB of SF4 cannot be set up during the preparation for SF/2 compressed mode. The system can trigger the
SF/2 compressed mode measurement.
CMCF_WITHOUT_UE_CAP_REPORT_SWITCH under CmcfSwitch determines whether to use the frequencies beyond the range of UE reports on the compressed mode
measurement.
To initiate the high layer scheduling, set the following two switches:
If the algorithm switch CMCF_DL_HLS_SWITCH in the command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH is set to ON, the DL high-layer scheduling for the compressed mode is
allowed.
If the algorithm switch CMCF_UL_HLS_SWITCH in the command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH is set to ON, the UL high-layer scheduling for the compressed mode is
allowed.
Compression Methods
There are two methods to implement the compressed mode as follows:
Method
Description
SF/2
High layer
scheduling
The RNC automatically determines the type of compressed mode on the basis of the spreading factor used in the uplink or the downlink.
When the downlink spreading factor is greater than or equal to the parameter DlSFTurnPoint, the SF/2 approach is preferred. Otherwise, the high layer scheduling is used.
When the uplink spreading factor is greater than or equal to the parameter UlSFTurnPoint, the SF/2 approach is preferred. Otherwise, the high layer scheduling is used.
Compression Types
The compression types are as follows:
Inter-frequency measurement
Inter-RAT measurement
The parameter InterFreqRATSwitch determines the compression types allowed by the RNC
If the parameter is set to INTERFREQ, the RNC allows the UE to perform only inter-frequency measurement
If the parameter is set to INTERRAT, the RNC allows the UE to perform only Inter-RAT measurement.
If the parameter is set to SIMINTERFREQRAT, the RNC allows the UE to perform both inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurement.
During the concurrent inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurement, the parameter CoexistMeasThdChoice decides the event 2D threshold:
When the parameter is set to COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ, the inter-frequency measurement threshold for event 2D is used.
When the parameter is set to COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERRAT, the inter-RAT measurement threshold for event 2D is used.

inter-frequency measurement and disables the compressed mode if no inter-frequency handover occurs upon expiry of the inter-frequency measurement timer.
The timer is specified by InterFreqMeasTime in inter-frequency handover based on coverage, load or HCS.
The timer is specified by InterRATMeasTime in inter-RAT handover based on coverage, load, or service.
The timer is specified by DLQosMcTimerLen or ULQosMcTimerLen in inter-RAT handover based on downlink or uplink QoS respectively.
The value of the IE "Adjacent frequency measurements without compressed mode" reported by the UE is TRUE.
the UE has a DC-HSDPA service, all the cells involved in inter-frequency measurement are at the same frequency as the supplementary carrier.
If
the UE does not have a DC-HSDPA service, all the cells involved in inter-frequency measurement are at the same frequency, with a 5 MHz spacing from the current cell,
but within the same band as the current cell.
Each physical frame can provide three to seven timeslots for the inter-frequency or inter-RAT cell measurement.
If this parameter value is TRUE, CM is permitted on HSDPA and HSDPA can be activated with CM activated. If this parameter value is FALSE, H2D is needed before CM
activated when HSDPA exists and HSDPA can't exist when CM is activated.
The parameter HsupaCMPermissionInd decides whether the compressed mode (CM) can be used on HSUPA.
If the parameter is set to Limited, the reconfiguration from E-DCH to DCH is required before CM is activated because HSUPA does not support CM.
If the parameter is set to BasedOnUECap, the RNC determines whether to perform E2D procedure before CM activated based on the UE capability.
The parameter EHSPACMPermissionInd indicates whether the compressed mode (CM) can coexist with the HSPA+ service.
When the EHSPACMPermissionInd value is FALSE the switch is deactivated and the RNC, before request to the UE to start the CM, starts a RB RECONFIGURATION
procedure to degrade the HSPA+ service to DCH, than requests the UE to start the COMPRESSED MODE.
After
the Hard Handover is completed the RNC starts a RB RECONFIGURATION procedure to promote the DCH service to HSPA+
When
this switch is disabled all the HSPA+ UEs (CM and not CM capable) are degraded to DCH before the CM procedure.
When the EHSPACMPermissionInd value is TRUE the switch is activated and the RNC does not triggers the RB RECONFIGURATION procedure before to request the CM.
Not affected UEs are capable to start the measurements during the HSPA+ service and can perform the Hard Handover without service degrades. On the contrary, UEs that
do not support the CM during HSPA+ are not capable to complete the Hard Handover procedure successfully.

If this parameter is set to a greater value, the number of
inter-frequency handover re-attempts increases and the
possibility of successfully handing over the UE to the target
cell whose load becomes normal increases. When the
number of inter-frequency handover re-attempts reaches
the threshold, the RNC sends another inter-frequency
measurement control message to allow the UE to be
handed over to other cells of this frequency.
If the measurement control is released, the inter-frequency
handover re-attempt is stopped.

CS services.
When the switch is set to ON, the inter-RAT handover for
CS services is enabled. When the switch is set to OFF, the
inter-RAT handover for CS services is disabled.
Based on the Service Handover Indicator of a service and
the related parameter configurations on the network side,
related measurements and inter-RAT handover are
triggered immediately once a service is set up. This switch
is set to ON only when service handover is required.
Generally, the switch is set to OFF.
Note that the service handover is triggered only when the
Service Handover Indicator is set to
HO_TO_GSM_SHOULD_BE_PERFORM and the interRAT handover switch for the corresponding service is set
to ON. Both conditions are mandatory. For hybrid services,
the service handover is not triggered.

HO_INTER_RAT_PS_3G2G_CELLCHG_NACC_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the NACC function is supported
during the PS inter-RAT handover from the 3G network to
the 2G network in the cell change order process. When the
switch is not on, the NACC function is not supported.
When PS_3G2G_RELOCATION_SWITCH is ON, this
switch is useless. When the NACC function is supported,
the UE skips the reading procedure as the SI/PSI of the
target cell is provided after the UE accesses the 2G cell.
Thus, the delay of inter-cell handover is reduced.
8) HO_INTER_RAT_PS_3G2G_RELOCATION_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the PS inter-RAT handover from
the 3G network to the 2G network is performed in the
relocation process. When the switch is not on, the PS
inter-RAT handover from the 3G network to the 2G
network is performed in the cell change order process.
9) HO_INTER_RAT_PS_OUT_SWITCH: When the switch
is on, the RNC is allowed to initiate inter-frequency
measure control and the PS inter-RAT hard handover from
the 3G network to the 2G network.
10) HO_INTER_RAT_RNC_SERVICE_HO_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the attributes of inter-RAT
handover of the services are based on the configuration of
RNC parameters. When the switch is not on, the attributes
are set on the basis of the CN. If no information is provided
by the CN, the attributes are then based on the RNC
parameters.
11)
HO_INTRA_FREQ_DETSET_INTO_ACTSET_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the cells in the detected set from
which the RNC receives their valid event reports can be
added to the active set. The cells allowed to be added to
the active set must be the neighboring cells of the cells in
the active set.
12) HO_INTRA_FREQ_DETSET_RPRT_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, statistics on the intra-frequency
measurement reports of the detected set are taken.
13) HO_INTRA_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the RNC is allowed to initiate the intrafrequency hard handover.
14) HO_INTRA_FREQ_RPRT_1J_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the event 1J is included in the delivery of
intra-frequency measurement control if the UE version is
R6.
15) HO_INTRA_FREQ_SOFT_HO_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the cells on the RNC can active the soft
handover. When the RNC receives reports on the events
1A, 1B, 1C, or 1D, associated addition, removal, and
replacement of handover cell of the soft handover are
initiated.
16) HO_MC_MEAS_BEYOND_UE_CAP_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, the neighboring cell whose frequency
band is beyond the UE's capabilities can also be delivered
in the inter-frequency measurement list.
17) HO_MC_NCELL_COMBINE_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the neighboring cell combined algorithm is
used during the delivery of the objects to be measured.
When the switch is not on, the optimal cell algorithm is
used.
18) HO_MC_SIGNAL_IUR_INTRA_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, intra-frequency handover is allowed over the
Iur interface if the UE has only signaling.
19) HO_MC_SIGNAL_SWITCH: When the switch is on,
quality measurement on the active set is delivered after
signaling setup but before service setup. If the UE is at the
cell verge or receives weak signals after accessing the
network, the RNC can trigger inter-frequency or inter-RAT
handover when the UE sets up the RRC.
20) HO_MC_SNA_RESTRICTION_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the RNC controls the UEs in the connected
state based on the configurations on the CN. The UEs can
only access and move in authorized cells.

report. The report mode is selected by setting the interfrequency report mode switch that is RNC-oriented.
Event-triggered report mode
In this mode, event 2B is used to decide whether to trigger
inter-frequency handover. This prevents the ping-pong
handover (The quality of the currently used frequency is
lower than the absolute threshold "used frequency quality
threshold", and the quality of the unused frequency is
higher than another absolute threshold "target frequency
trigger threshold"). Event 2B cannot change from eventtriggered mode to periodical mode. When event-triggered
measurement report mode is selected, Ec/No and RSCP
are both used as the measurement quantity for interfrequency measurement. The advantage of event-triggered
report mode is that the signaling transmission and
processing load are saved. Comparing the signal quality
between intra-frequency and inter-frequency handovers,
the ping-pong effect in handover is prevented to some
extent. The disadvantage of event-triggered report mode
is that the event is reported only once and cannot be
changed to periodical mode. For the cell-oriented algorithm
parameters, each time when the best cell is updated, the
inter-frequency measurement parameters should be
updated accordingly.
Periodical report mode
In this mode, event 2D/2F is used to start and stop the
compressed mode, and to periodically report the interfrequency cell measurement result in compressed mode.
When the cell quality reported by the UE is higher than the
absolute threshold plus hysteresis, the triggering delay
timer is started. If the conditions are always met before the
timer expires, the inter-frequency handover is started after
the timer expires.
If the handover fails, the handover decision is performed,
according to the periodical inter-frequency measurement
report.
The advantage of the periodical measurement report mode
is that it can repeatedly perform direct retry on the same
cell when the handover fails, and that the following
algorithms can be flexibly developed. For the cell-oriented
algorithm parameters, the UE need not be informed
through signaling but the cell need be updated only when
the handover decision is performed in the RNC. The
disadvantage of the periodical measurement report mode
is that it requires large amount of signaling and increases
the load on the air interface and for signaling processing.
As for the impact on network performance, the two
measurement report modes have both advantages and
disadvantages. Currently, the traditional periodical report
mode is preferred.

H represents the hysteresis, the setting of which can
reduce wrong decisions caused by signal jitters.
The sensitivity of a GSM mobile phone is -102 dBm.
Considering a margin of 3 dB for compensation of fast
fading, 5 dB for compensation of slow fading, 2 dB for
compensation of interference noise, and 2 dB for
compensation of ambient noise, the outdoor reception
level should not be lower than -90 dBm.
The parameter value can vary with the handover policy.
To have UEs handed over only to GSM cells of high
quality, the inter-RAT handover decision threshold can be
set to a comparatively large value, for example -85 dBm.

If the inter-frequency handover for event 2C fails, the RNC
MOD
reties the inter-frequency handover. This parameter
UCELLINTERFREQHONCOV specifies the interval between the handover re-attempts for
(Optional)
event 2C. If this parameter is set to a smaller value,
handover re-attempts increase when the inter-frequency
handover fails. In this case, the UE can be quickly handed
over to the target cell whose load is reduced. The RNC
load, however, increases.

another inter-RAT.
H represents the hysteresis, the setting of which can
reduce wrong decisions caused by signal jitters.
The sensitivity of a GSM mobile phone is -102 dBm.
Considering a margin of 3 dB for compensation of fast
fading, 5 dB for compensation of slow fading, 2 dB for
compensation of interference noise, and 2 dB for
compensation of ambient noise, the outdoor reception
level should not be lower than -90 dBm.
The parameter value can vary with the handover policy.
To have UEs handed over only to GSM cells of high
quality, the inter-RAT handover decision threshold can be
set to a comparatively large value, for example -85 dBm.
GUI Value Range: 0~63
Actual Value Range: lower than -110, -110~-48(Actual
value meets the condition: Actual Value = GUI Value - 111)

the measurement control of event 2B. One of the
necessary conditions for triggering event 2B can be met
only when the quality of the target frequency is smaller
than this threshold. In addition, event 2B is triggered only
when both the necessary conditions are met.
After handover, even if the inter-frequency measurement is
triggered again, it is very difficult to hand over the UE
again to the cell of currently used frequency. That is, this
parameter is usually set smaller than the start threshold for
event 2F or equal to the threshold of event 2D.

frequency of UTRAN.
Tused is the quality threshold for the currently used
frequency of GSM.
Mother_RAT is the measurement result of the GSM RSSI.
Tother_RAT is the inter-RAT handover decision threshold.
Cell Individual Offset (CIO) is the offset for the cell of
another inter-RAT.
H represents the hysteresis, the setting of which can
reduce wrong decisions caused by signal jitters.
When the signal quality of the currently used frequency is
poor, that is, below the specified value of this parameter,
you can infer that the frequency cannot meet the coverage
requirements of the current services. Event 2F indicates
that the quality of the currently used frequency is restored.
Therefore, this parameter is usually set lower than the
triggering threshold of event 2F, or is set equally to the
triggering threshold of event 2D.
For combined services, the parameter configuration for CS
services should be adopted as long as CS services are
involved.
Impact on network performance:
If this parameter is set to a larger value, event 3A is likely
to be triggered. However, handover is likely to be triggered
when the frequency quality in the current system is
acceptable for the UE if the value of this parameter is set
too large.
