During the target cell evaluation process also PRIORITY (ADCE.hoPriorityLevel) and LOAD (ADCE.hoLoadFactor) of the target are taken into account; In order to prevent too early returns to the old cell after the HO has been done there is a GUARD TIME counted separately for each HO type, see parameters: HOC.minIntBetweenUnsuccHoAttempt, HOC.HoPeriodPBGT i HOC.HoPeriodUmbrella; For each ADCE relation the parameter ADCE.enableHoMarginLevQual is set to YES;
