Parameter name: Inter-frequency measure report mode Recommended value: Periodicat reporting
Periodical measurement report mode The advantage of periodicat measurement report is that if the handover
falis, the RNC reattempts the handover to the same celi after receiving the periodical measurement report from the tiE. This increases the probability of the success of inter-frequency handover. Based on the measurement control message received from the RNC, the UE periodicaliy reports the measurementquality ofthetargetceH. Then, based on the measurement report, the RNC makes the handover decision and performs handover.

Inter-Frequency Handover Measurement Quantity

Measurement quantities vary according to the types of inter-frequency handover o in nter-frequency handover based on coverage, event (2B12D!2F) or periodical measurement takes both CPICH Ec!No and RSCP as measurement quantities in inter-frequency handover based on OoS, event (2B) or periodical rneasurement takes both CPICH Ec/No and RSCP as rneasurement guantities. in Ioad-based inter-frequency blind handover, CPICH RSCP of the used frequency is measured. in bad- and measure-based inter-frequency handover, both CPICHRSCP and CPICH_EcNo of the targetfrequency ara measured
in inter-frequency handover based on coverage, event 2B/2D/2F or periodical measurementtakes both CPICH Ec/No and RSCP as measurementquantities. o in the triggering phase, events 2D and 2F that correspond to CPICH_Ec/No and CPICH_RSCP are sent from the UE. in the measurement phase, event 2B or periodical measurement that correspond to CPICHEc/No and CPICH_RSCP are sent from the UE. in inter-frequency handover based on coverage, the system delivers both CPICH Ec/No and RSCP as measurementquantities to perform 2D12F measurement. To restrict the types of reported measurement quantities, set the measurement triggering threshold to the minimum value. For exampie, if the reporting of event 2D of CS service Ec/No is allowed but that of RSCP is restricted, you can set InterFregCSThd2DRSCPto the minimum vaiue, that is, -115.

Inter-Frequency Handover Compressed Mode

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.
If the UE needs to measure the pHot signal strength of an inter-frequency 3G or 2G ceil and has a single-frequency
receiver oniy, the UE must use the compressed mode.
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 can carry out measurements in the neighboring ceil, such as GSM ceM and FDD ceM on other frequency. if the UE needs to measure the pilot signal strength of an inter-frequency WCDMA or GSM ceil and has one frequency receiver oniy, the UE must use the compressed mode. Each physical frame can provide 3 to 7 timeslots for the inter-frequency or inter RAT ceil measurement, which enhances the transmit capability of physical channels but reduces the volume of data trafflc. If the UE has a duai-frequency receiver, it can perform inter-frequency measurement without starting the compressed mode if ali of the following conditions are met: The CMP_UU_ADJACENT_FREQ_CM_SWITCH is on. The value of the lE Adjacentfrequency measurementswithout compressed mode reported by the UE is TRUE. For the UE that supports dual-carrier HSDPA(DC-HSDPA): If the UE has a DC-HSDPA service, ali the celis invo(ved in inter-frequency measurement are at the same frequency as the supplementary carrier. If the UE does not have a DC-HSDPAservice, ali the celis involved in inter frequency measurement are at the same frequency, with a 5 MHz spacing from the current celi, but within the same band as the current ceil.

in DL, during compressed mode, UE receiver can test signal from other frequency. in order to avoid the effect cause by UE transmitter, compressed mode is alsa used in UL. The approach of spreading factor haiving (SF/2) is resource consuming, and is recommended oniy for siow-moving UEs. The higher layer scheduling mode has a Ilmited appiication scope as it requires variable muitiplexing position of the transmission channel. As the higher layer scheduling mode affects the transrnission rate of UEs. Such moda is recommended oniy when the approach of spreading factor halving (SF/2) is unavailable or for fast-moving UEs. Which type of compressed moda ta use is automaticaiiy decided by the RNC on the basis of the spreading factor used in the upiink orthe downiink. u When the downlink spreading factor is greater than or equal ta the parameter D!SFTurnPoint, the SF/2 approach is preferred. Otherwise, the high layer scheduling 15 used. When the uplink spreading factar is greater than or equal to the D parameter UISFTurnPoint, the SF/2 approach is preferred.

in the triggering phase o For the coverage-based handover, the RNC requests the UE to measure through an inter-frequency measurement control message. If the CPICH EcINo or CPICH RSCP of the current celi is Iower than the corresponding threshold, the UE reports event 2D. For the QoS-based hanciover, if the service quality of the current celi deteriorates, the Link Stability Control Algorithm makes a handover measurement decision. in the measurement phase The RNC sends an inter-frequency measurement control message ta the UE, requesting the NodeB and UE to start the compressed moda. The RNC also requests the UE ta perform the inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover measurement. in this phase, the method of either periodical measurement report or event-triggered measurement report can be used. in the decision phase o Atter the UE reports evert 2B, the RNC performs the handover. Or the UE periodicaliy generates measurement reports, and the RNC makes a decision after evaluation. in the execution phase o The RNC executes the handover procedure.

The laad-based inter-frequency handover suits best in the case of the co-sited celis covering the same area. in the triggering phase The Load Reshuffiing (LDR) module directly determines whether the current celi is in basic congestian and whether an inter-frequency handover needs to be performed. The LDR module provides the target ceil information for the current ceil, and the RNC performs the handover procedure. For details of LCR, see Load Contro!. in the decision phase For Inter-frequency LDR biind handover, the RNC decides to trigger an inter-frequency blind handover if the corresponding conditions are met. After the inter-frequency handover is triggered, the RNC chooses a decision aigorithm accarding ta whether the conditions of direct blind handover are met.

If the condition is met, the RNC increments the counter of the number of intra frequency measurement reports for biind handover by 1. If the condition is not met, the RNC does not perform a bllnd handover to the ceil that triggers LDR and stops intra-frequency neasurement for blind handover.
The inter-frequency celis with the same coverage area have the same CPICH RSCP values. By measuring the CPICH RSCP of the ceil, the quality of the celis with the same coverage area can be determined, which increases the probabillty of successful blind handover. The intra-frequency measurement report mode is set to periodical report. The reporting perioci is BlindHOlntrafreqMR!nterval. The number of measurement reports is BlindHOlntrafreqMRAmount.

Step 1 to step 5 is similar with soft handover, the differences are: The SRNC sends the Physical Channel Reconfiguration message carrying the target ceil information to the UE via the downlink DCCH. After the UE hands over from the source celi to the target ceM, the Node B of the source ceM detects the radlo link communication failure and then sends the Radlo Link Failure Indication message ta the SRNC, indicating the radio link failure. Aftersuccessfully handing over ta the target ceil, the UE sends the Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete message to the SRNC via the DCCH, notifying the SRNC that the physical cannel reconfiguration is complete. The Node B where the source ceM is deletes the radlo link resources, and then responds ta the SRNC with the Radio Link Deletion Response message. The SRNC adopts the ALCAP protocol to release the lub interface transport bearer of the SRNC and the Node B where the source cell is.

Z E E [ IT E
Inter-RAT handover refers to the handover performed between 3G network and 2G network. nter-RAT handover provides continuous coverage, bad sharing, and HCS services, which fubiy utilizes the existing 2G network resources and thus reduces operators cost. in this handover, however, GSM and UMTS dual-mode UEs (MSs) are required, and both the GSM MSC and the GSM BSS must be upgraded.

Inter-RAT Handover Types

Based on the triggering causes of handover, inter-frequency handover can be categorized into four types:
o
Coverage-based 30 to 2G handover QoS-based 3G ta 20 handover Load-based 3G to 20 handover
Service-based 30 to 20 handover
Coverage-based 3G to 20 handover: The coverage of the 30 network is incontinuous at the initial stage. On the border of the coverage, the poor signal quality of the 3G network triggers the 3G-to-2G measurement. If the signai quality of the 2G network is good enough and ali the services of the UE are supported by the 2G network, the coverage-based 30 ta 20 handover is triggered. QoS-based 3G ta 2G handover: According ta the Link Stability Control Algorithm, the RNC needs to trigger the OoS-based 3G ta 2G handover to avoid cail drops. Load-based 30 ta 20 handover: o if the bad of the 3G network is heavy and abi the RABs of the UE are supported by the 2G network, the boad-based 3G to 20 handover is triggered. Service-based 3G to 2G handover: Based on layered services, the traffic of different ciasses is handed over ta different systems.

the RAB assignment signallng assigned by the CN, or

provided by the RNC The aigorithm switch HoSwitch:
HONTERRA TfiNC_SER WCE_HO_S WITCH decides
whether the service attribute of inter-RAT handover is based on the RNC or the CN
If the switch is set ta ON, the service attribute of inter-RAT handover is based on the parameter configured on the RNC side. If the switch is set ta 0FF, 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. HOJNTERJ?AT_RNC_SERVICE_HO_SW!TCH is set through I

Impacts of different types of capability on handover decision (The table is the same wth Load-based one.) Ta perform the service-based 3G to 20 handover, the RNC must turn on the related switches for services in the CS and PS domains. When a single CS service is initialiy set up by the UE, the RNC allows the 30 ta 20 service-based handover if CSServiceHOSwitch is set ta ON. When a single PS service is initially set up by the UE, the RNC aliows the service-based 3G-to-2G handover if PSServiceHOSwitch is set to ON. For the combined services, no service-based handover i triggered. For more detailed information, pease refer ta the ADD UCELLH000MM command.

During the coverage-based and QoS-based 3G ta 2G handover, the measurements on both inter-frequency and inter-RAT neighborng celis can be made, which enables the celis to provide continucus coverage and high quality. The preconditions for the measurements are as follows: Both inter-frequency and inter-RAT neighboring celis are available. !nterFreqRATSwitch i set to SIMPNTERFREQRAT. If lnterFreqRATSwitch is set to: Inter-frequency measurement (INTERFREQ), the RNC allows the UE ta D perform oniy this type of measurement. Inter-RAT measurement (INTERRAT), the RNC allows the UE to perform oniy this type of measurement. Concurrent inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurement (SIMINTERFREQRAT), the RNC allows the UE ta perform both types of measurement at the same time. During the concurrent inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurement, the values of the parameter CoexistMeasThdChoice for eve nt 2D are chosen as follows: D When the value COEXIST_MEAS_THDCHOICE_INTERFREQ is chosen, the inter-frequency measurement threshold for event 2D is used. o When the value COEXIST_MEASJHD_CHOICEJNTERRAT is chosen, the inter-RAT measurement threshold for event 2D is used.

The procedure for the coverage- or QoS-based inter-RAT handover is the same as that for the coverage- or QoS-based inter-frequency handover in the triggering phase For the coverage-based handover, the RNC requests the UE ta measure through an inter-frequency measurement control message. If the CPICH Ec/No or CPICH RSCP of the current ceil is lower than the corresponding threshold, the UE reports event 2D. For the QoS-based handover, if the service quaiity of the current ceil deteriorates, the Link Stability Control Algorithm makes a handover measurement decision. in the measurement phase The RNC sends an inter-frequency measurement control message to the UE, requesting the NodeB and UE ta start the compressed mode. The RNC also requests the UE ta perform the inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover measurement. in this phase, the method of either periodical measurement report or event-triggered measurement report can be used. in the decision phase After the UE reports event 2B, the RNC performs the handover. Or the UE periodicaliy generates measurement reports, and the RNC makes a decision after evaluation. in the execution phase The RNC executes the handover procedure.

WCDMA IIandover Algorithm and Parameters
After receiving measurernent report (inter-RAT measurement) from UE, the SRNC sends the 3G MSC a RANAP message RELOCATON REQUiRED if the condition of Inter-RAT outgoing handover is met. As indicated in the received message, the 3G MSC forwards this request to the 2G MSC on the MAP/E interface through a MAP message PREPARE HANDOVER. The 2G MSC forwards the requestto the BSC. The message shown in the figure is for reference oniy and is sublect to the actual condition of the GSM. The BSC responds to this request. The message shown in the figure is for reference oniy and is subject to the actual condition of the GSM. Once the initial procedures are completed in the 2G MSC/BSS, the 2G MSC returns e MAP/E message PREPARE HANDOVER RESPONSE. The 3G MSC sends the SRNC a RANAP message RELOCATON COMMAND. The SRNC sends the UE an RRC message HAN DOVER FRCM UTRAN through the existing RRC connection. This message may include information from one or several other systems.
