2 Overview
2 Overview
The GSM network comprises multiple cells with continuous coverage. The handover technique is
introduced into the GSM system to enable the users who are in motion to continue with the current call
without interruption, optimizing the network performance.
During a handover, the MS and BTS in service measure the conditions of uplink and downlink radio links
respectively, record the measurement results into measurement reports (MRs), and then send the MRs
to the BSC. The BSC determines whether to trigger a handover based on the MRs and the actual
conditions of the radio network.
Huawei handover algorithms (handover algorithm I and handover algorithm II) involve measurement and
MR reporting, MR processing, handover decision, and handover execution.
Huawei handover algorithms apply to the handovers on TCHs as well as the handovers on SDCCHs.
You can determine the handover algorithm used in a cell by HOCTRLSWITCH.

Figure 2-1shows the procedure for performing Huawei handover algorithms (including handover
algorithm I and handover algorithm II).

2 Overview
In handover algorithm I, five types of handover decisions are defined:
Quick handover (including quick PBGT handover and frequency offset handover). Good and stable
services can be provided when the voice quality deteriorates during the fast movement of an MS.
Quick handover is mainly applicable in the railway scenario.
Emergency handover. An emergency handover can ensure the call continuity when the radio condition
severely deteriorates. Theoretically, an emergency handover has a bigger deviation than other
handovers in terms of the selection of the target cell. In a normal cell, frequent emergency handovers
should be avoided.
Enhanced dual-band network handover. In an enhanced dual-band network, the resources in the
overlaid (OL) DCS1800 cell and underlaid (UL) GSM900 cell can be shared during the assignment
and handover procedures. That is, the calls in the high-traffic GSM900 cell can be handed over to the
low-traffic DCS1800 cell to balance traffic.
Load handover. Load handover enables the system load to be balanced among multiple cells so that
the system performance can be ensured.
Normal handover. Normal handover ensures good services when an MS is moving.
Figure 2-3 shows the handovers provided in Figure 2-2 and their priorities in handover algorithm I.

Handover Execution
The BTS power lift for handover function determines whether the BTS of the serving cell transmits
signals at the maximum power during a handover. The BSC maximizes the transmit power of the BTS
before sending a handover command to the MS. The BSC maintains the BTS power during the
handover to ensure the success of the handover. (GBFD-117101 BTS power lift for handover)
Synchronous Handover and Asynchronous Handover

The BSC supports both synchronous handovers and asynchronous handovers. Generally, the BSC
performs synchronous handovers for intra-BTS inter-cell or intra-cell handovers and performs
asynchronous handovers for inter-BTS handovers. However, the BSC also performs asynchronous
handovers for intra-BTS inter-cell handovers when the following conditions are met:
DIRMAGANSITEFLAG is set to YES. That is, a repeater is configured for the source cell or target cell.
FRAMEOFFSET is set to a value other than 0 or 255. That is, frame offset is configured for the source
cell or target cell.
The source cell or target cell is a multi-site cell.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Measurement Report Processing
This section describes the features GBFD-110801 Processing of Measurement Report and
GBFD-110802 Pre-processing of Measurement Report.
Measurement report processing involves measurement report interpolation and filtering.
NE Selection for Measurement Report Processing

The processing can be performed either on the BSC side or on the BTS side.
If BTSMESRPTPREPROC is set to No, the processing is performed on the BSC side.
If BTSMESRPTPREPROC is set to Yes, the processing is performed on the BTS side. By setting the
parameters PRIMMESPPT, BSMSPWRLEV, and MRPREPROCFREQ, you can specify the contents
of the MRs to be provided and the period during which the MRs are provided. This decreases the
signaling traffic on the Abis interface and the traffic volume processed by the BSC.
Data Selection for Measurement Report

MRs can be classified into enhanced MRs and normal MRs. The parameter MEASURETYPE
determines the type to be used.
In an MR, the TCH measurement of the serving cell is classified into FULL SET and SUB SET.
Measurement Report Interpolation

The neighboring cell indexes are found on the basis of the BCCH ARFCNs and BSICs provided by the
MS. Then, the uplink and downlink measurement results are obtained from the MRs.
If MRs are issued continuously, they are directly added to the MR list.
If MRs are not issued continuously and the number of lost MRs is smaller than the value of
MRMISSCOUNT, the system performs operations as follows:
For
the serving cell, the handover algorithm I performs the linear interpolation for the MRs. The
lowest values are applied to the interpolation of MRs by the handover algorithm II according to the
protocols; that is, level 0 (110 dBm) and quality 7 are applied in the interpolation.
For
the neighboring cell, the lowest value is applied to the lost level value according to the protocols;
that is, level 0 (110 dBm) is applied in the interpolation.
If no MR is reported because the receive level in the neighboring cell is too low, level 0 (110 dBm) is applied in the
interpolation.
If MRs are not issued continuously and the number of lost MRs is greater than the value of
MRMISSCOUNT, the previous MRs are discarded. When new MRs are issued, calculation is done
again.
Measurement Report Filtering

Filtering is performed on MRs obtained continuously from the MR list. Averaging is performed on
uplink/downlink receive level, uplink/downlink receive quality, Timing Advance (TA), Radio Quality
Indication (RQI), BTS power, neighboring 2G cell level, Common Pilot Channel (CPICH), received signal
code power (RSCP), and Ec/No of neighboring 3G cell. The averaging minimizes the effect on the result
of handover decision due to sudden changes in the measurement values.
Power control compensation needs to be performed for the downlink receive level of the serving cell by
the handover algorithm II. If you compare the receive level of the serving cell after the power control with
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-1
GSM BSS
Handover
that of all BCCH TRXs of the neighboring cell, there is no mapping between them. In situations where
the cells overlap severely, the handover is easily triggered, causing the ping-pong handover. After the
power control compensation is performed, the receive level of the serving cell can reflect the coverage
condition of the BCCH TRX of the serving cell. The power control compensation of the serving cell is
performed after the interpolation processing and before the filtering processing. In general, the
compensation of power control is calculated by adding the downlink receive level of the serving cell and
twice the current downlink transmit POWL of the BTS.
The number of consecutive MRs required for filtering is determined by the measurement object and
channel type. See Table 3-1 for details.

3.2 Handover Preprocessing

Handover Penalty
According to the neighboring cell information in an MR and the parameters, the system performs
handover preprocessing and adjusts the priorities of neighboring cells.
The handover penalty is performed after successful fast-moving micro cell handover, timing advance (TA)
handover, Bad Quality (BQ) handover, fast-moving micro cell handover, OL subcell to UL subcell
handover within an enhanced concentric cell, and after the handover failures.
In handover algorithm II, in addition to the situations mentioned above, the handover penalty is also
performed after successful or failed load handover and interference handover.
In handover decision procedure of handover algorithm II, the handover penalty is performed after the network
characteristics adjustment and before the emergency handover decision.
After a quick handover, TA handover, BQ handover, or load handover (in handover algorithm II) is
successfully performed, the penalty level is subtracted from the actual receive level of the original cell
during the penalty period. Table 3-2 lists the parameters related to handover penalty.

After a fast-moving micro cell handover is successfully performed, penalty is performed on all the
neighboring cells of the micro cell. Related parameters are SDPUNVAL and SPEEDPUNISHT.
If an MS fails to initiate an intra-cell adaptive multirate (AMR) TCHF to TCHH handover, it cannot
initiate another intra-cell AMR TCHF to TCHH handover within TIMEAMRFHPUNISH.
In handover algorithm II, after the interference handover is initiated, this handover is not allowed to be
initiated again within INTERFEREHOPENTIME regardless of whether the handover is successful or
not.
After an OL subcell to UL subcell handover within an enhanced concentric cell is successful, the
handover from UL subcell to OL subcell is not allowed within UTOOHOPENTIME.
After an OL cell to UL cell handover in the enhanced dual-band network is successful, the handover
from UL cell to OL cell is not allowed within HOPENALTYTIME.
After a handover fails, different penalties are performed on the target cell based on the causes:
If
a handover to a neighboring 2G or 3G cell fails, the actual receive level of the target cell is
subtracted by FAILSIGSTRPUNISH for neighboring cell ranking during the penalty.
Based on the handover failure cause, the penalty time could be UMPENALTYTIMER, RSCPENALTYTIMER, or
PENALTYTIMER.
If
an OL subcell to UL subcell handover within a concentric cell fails, the handover from OL subcell to
UL subcell is not allowed within TIMEOTOUFAILPUN.
If
a UL subcell to OL subcell handover within a concentric cell fails, the handover from UL subcell to
OL subcell is not allowed within TIMEUTOOFAILPUN.
Basic Ranking
Basic ranking is performed after handover penalty to generate a candidate cell list in descending order
taking the following information into account: receive levels of the serving cell and neighboring cells
carried in the MRs, hysteresis, usage of TCHs in the neighboring cells, and so on.
In the case of non-directed retry, if an MS in an external BSC cell occupies an SDCCH and
INRBSCSDHOEN is set to No, this cell should be removed from the candidate cell list. In other words,
the handover to this external BSC cell is prohibited.
If a neighboring 2G cell and the serving cell are controlled by the same BSC and the TCH usage of the
neighboring cell is 100%, the neighboring cell should be removed from the candidate cell list; that is,
the handover to this neighboring cell is prohibited.

If the downlink receive level of a neighboring 2G cell is smaller than the sum of HOCDCMINDWPWR
and MINOFFSET, the neighboring cell should be removed from the candidate cell list; that is, the
handover to this neighboring cell is prohibited.
If the uplink receive level of a neighboring 2G cell is smaller than the sum of HOCDCMINUPPWR and
MINOFFSET, the neighboring cell should be removed from the candidate cell list; that is, the handover
to this neighboring cell is prohibited.
If a neighboring 3G cell is a frequency division duplex (FDD) cell, the cell is processed according to
FDDREP:
If
FDDREP is set to Ec/N0, and the Ec/No of a neighboring cell is smaller than MINECNOTHRES,
the neighboring cell should be removed from the candidate cell list; that is, the handover to this
neighboring cell is prohibited.
If
FDDREP is set to RSCP, and the received signal code power (RSCP) of a neighboring cell is
smaller than MINRSCPTHRES, the neighboring cell should be removed from the candidate cell list;
that is, the handover to this neighboring cell is prohibited.
If a neighboring 3G cell is a time division duplex (TDD) cell and the RSCP after penalty is smaller than
the MINRSCPTHRES, the neighboring cell should be removed from the candidate cell list; that is, the
handover to this neighboring cell is prohibited.
Calculate the difference between the downlink receive level of the neighboring cells and the downlink
receive level of the serving cell. Based on the difference, rank the neighboring cells in descending
order.
Network Characteristics Adjustment

Factors considered during network characteristics adjustment have higher priorities than those
considered during basic ranking.
During network characteristic adjustment, the following factors are considered based on their priorities
from high to low:
Whether the serving cell and a neighboring cell share the same BSC or MSC
Load in a cell
Layer where a cell is located
After performing basic ranking on all candidate cells based on their priorities, the BSC ranks these cells
again to determine their comprehensive priorities.
After network characteristics adjustment, the BSC generates a final candidate cell list (including the
serving cell and neighboring cells). The candidate cells are ranked based on their priorities from high to
low. Then, the BSC starts the handover decision procedure.
In handover algorithm II, the emergency handover decision is made before network characteristics
adjustment and forced handover and after handover penalty (except load handover penalty) and basic
ranking. Load handover penalty is performed before network characteristics adjustment and after an
emergency handover. After the emergency handover decision, LOADHOPENVALUE is subtracted from
the signal level of the original cell within the time specified by LOADHOPENTIME if the load handover is
successful. After load handover penalty, the signal level of the target cell changes. Therefore, the
network characteristics need to be readjusted.
In handover algorithm 1, all handover decisions are made after handover penalty, basic ranking, and
network characteristics adjustment.
3.3 Forced Handover

A forced handover does not require a handover decision.
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-4
GSM BSS
Handover
A forced handover is triggered in the following scenarios:
If no TCH is available in the serving cell which the MS attempts to access and DIRECTRYEN is set to
Yes, the BSC triggers a directed retry procedure.
When a BTS is under maintenance, the MSs served by the BTS should be handed over to the cells
controlled by a functional BTS. This ensures that no call drop occurs during the BTS maintenance.
Directed Retry
When the MS initiates a call, after the BSC receives an ASSIGN REQ message from the MSC, the BSC
determines an assignment mode based on the load of the serving cell.
Assignment mode is categorized into normal assignment procedure, mode modification procedure, and directed retry
procedure. The commands issued by the BSC vary according to the procedure.
For a normal assignment procedure, the BSC activates a channel and issues a channel assignment command.
For a mode modification procedure, the BSC issues a mode modification command.
For a directed retry procedure, the BSC issues a handover command.
If the serving cell is so overloaded that new calls cannot be admitted or admitting new calls will affect
ongoing services, the BSC triggers a directed retry procedure. By using the directed retry, the MS is
handed over to the target cell and part of the traffic in the serving cell is distributed to the target cell. This
avoids traffic congestion in the serving cell. (GBFD-110607 Directed Retry)
Figure 3-1 shows the procedure for a directed retry decision.

As shown in Figure 3-1, directed retry is categorized into enhanced dual-band network directed retry and
normal directed retry.
Enhanced Dual-Band Network Directed Retry

In an enhanced dual-band network, two cells form a group and the MS camps on one of the two cells.
After the directed retry is triggered, the MS is handed over to the other cell. For details on the
conditions of triggering an enhanced dual-band network directed retry, see sections 3.4.7 "Enhanced
Dual-Band Network Handover" and 3.5.6 "Enhanced Dual-Band Network Handover."
Target Cell Selection in a Normal Directed Retry Procedure

The target cell must have the highest priority in the candidate cell list after handover preprocessing. In
addition, the target cell must meet the following conditions:
The serving cell does not function as a target cell.
Load of the candidate neighboring cells DTLOADTHRED
In handover algorithm II, serving cell level < receive level of neighboring cells < serving cell level +
DRHOLEVRANGE.
In handover algorithm I, receive level of neighboring cells MINPWRLEVDIRTRY.
If DRTAGCELLSEL is set to YES, the MS can be handed over to one of multiple candidate cells by
using directed retry. If DRTAGCELLSEL is set to NO, the MS can be handed over to only one target cell.
The number of available candidate cells is controlled by HOTRYCNT.
3.4 Handover Decision Based on Handover Algorithm I

This section describes the feature GBFD-110601 HUAWEI I Handover.
According to the emergency condition of an MS in the network, the handover decision based on
handover algorithm I is made in the following order: quick handover, emergency handover, enhanced
dual-band network handover, load handover, and normal handover.
Handover decision based on handover algorithm I involves the following procedures:
Determining whether the serving cell meets the trigger conditions
Selecting corresponding candidate cells
In handover algorithm I, HOOPTSEL specifies whether a neighboring 2G cell or a neighboring 3G cell is

preferred.
When HOOPTSEL is set to Preference for 2G Cell:

A neighboring 2G cell is preferred. If the candidate cell list contains suitable neighboring 3G cells but
no suitable neighboring 2G cells, a neighboring 3G cell is selected.


If the receive level of a candidate 2G cell is smaller than or equal to HOPRETH2G, a neighboring 3G
cell is preferred.
If the trigger conditions for an emergency handover are met and there is at least one candidate cell, the
emergency handover timer NEWURGHOMININTV is started. Another emergency handover decision
can be performed only when NEWURGHOMININTV times out.

3.4.1 Quick Handover

This section describes the features GBFD-510103 Chain Cell Handover and GBFD-510102 Fast Move
Handover.
Quick handover aims to increase the handover success rate of an MS moving at a high speed and to
ensure the call continuity and low call drop rate. Quick handover applies to the scenario where an MS
moves fast along an urban backbone road, a selected route, or a high-speed railroad.
Quick Handover Types

Quick handover consists of frequency offset handover and quick PBGT handover.
Frequency offset handover

Whether the MS is moving away from the serving cell is determined based on the frequency offset
information provided by an MS moving at a high speed. Frequency offset handover decision is made
according to the uplink/downlink receive level of the serving cell and the path loss of neighboring cells.
Quick PBGT handover

Quick PBGT handover decision is made according to the path loss of neighboring cells.
For quick handover, the handover response speed is enhanced by:
Accurately calculating the moving speed of the MS
Lifting the restriction on the interval between handover decisions
Reducing the number of MRs for the handover decision
Introducing the alpha filtering
Quick Handover Preparation

The preparation for quick handover involves the following aspects:
Frequency offset is decoded from the MR.

Frequency offset of the MS is obtained from the uplink MR that the BTS sends to the BSC.
Alpha filtering is performed on the MR.
Trigger Conditions
During handover decision, it is first determined whether the trigger conditions for a frequency offset
handover are met. When the BTS cannot send the frequency offset information or the reported
frequency offset information is invalid, quick PBGT handover is triggered, provided that other conditions
for a frequency offset handover are met.
If QUICKHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a quick handover are as follows:
The MS is moving away from the serving cell (the frequency offset in the measurement result is a
negative value) and the moving speed of the MS is greater than MOVESPEEDTHRES.
The filtered uplink level of the serving cell is smaller than HOUPTRIGE.
The compensated downlink level of the serving cell is smaller than HODOWNTRIGE.
The path loss of configured chain neighboring cells is smaller than the specified threshold of the path
loss of the serving cell.
The trigger conditions for a quick handover are as follows:
If the last three conditions are met simultaneously, the decision is made as follows:
If
the first condition is met, a frequency offset handover is performed.
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-8
GSM BSS
Handover
If
the first condition is not met, a quick PBGT handover is performed.
If all the last three conditions are not met, quick handover is not triggered.
Target Cell Selection

The target cell must be a chain neighboring cell of the serving cell. The target cell can be obtained
through the setting of ISCHAINNCELL. If HODIRFORECASTEN is set to Yes, a neighboring cell in the
moving direction of the MS is selected preferentially.
To forecast the moving direction of the MS, the direction of a chain neighboring cell (A or B) compared
with the serving cell is specified by CHAINNCELLTYPE. If the number of times that the MS is handed
over to neighboring cells in the same direction (B for example) is greater than or equal to
HODIRLASTTIME when the handover time reaches HODIRSTATIME, the MS is inferred to be moving
towards the B direction. Subsequently, the MS is preferentially handed over to the neighboring cell
whose CHAINNCELLTYPE is B.
Limitations
The limitations on quick handover are as follows:
The serving cell cannot be selected as the target cell.
The candidate cells for quick handover must be chain neighboring cells of the serving cell.
After a quick handover is successful, the penalty is performed on the original cell during the penalty
time to prevent an immediate handover back to the original cell. The penalty time and penalty value
are specified by TIMEPUNISH and HOPUNISHVALUE respectively.
3.4.2 TA Handover
TA handover is a type of emergency handover. The TA handover decision is made according to the TA
value reported by the MS.
The TA value of a normal cell ranges from 0 to 63 and that of an extended cell ranges from 0 to 229. The
TA can be stepped up or down in steps of 553.5 m. The TA value of 63 corresponds to a distance of 35
km.
Trigger Conditions
TA handover is triggered when the following conditions are met:
TAHOEN is set to Yes.
Filtered TA value in the MR provided by the MS is greater than or equal to TALIMIT.
The TA handover can be triggered only when the preceding two conditions are met simultaneously.
From the perspective of the trigger conditions for a TA handover, TA can be regarded as a limitation to the size of a cell.

If TALIMIT of a co-site neighboring cell is smaller than or equal to the TALIMIT of the serving cell, a
handover to the neighboring cell is prohibited.
If the trigger conditions for a TA handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable, the
following operations are performed:

GSM BSS
Handover
If a neighboring 3G cell is available, if INTERRATOUTBSCHOEN is set to Yes, and if the MS supports

the 2G/3G inter-RAT handover, the 2G/3G inter-RAT handover is performed.
If no neighboring 3G cell is available, if INTERRATOUTBSCHOEN is set to No, or if the MS does not

support the 2G/3G inter-RAT handover, the decision on whether to initiate another type of emergency
handover is made.
Limitations
After the TA handover is successful, the penalty is performed on the original cell. During
TIMETAPUNISH, SSTAPUNISH is subtracted from the level of the original cell to prevent an immediate
handover back to the original cell.
3.4.3 BQ Handover
BQ handover is a type of emergency handover in which the system makes the decision based on the
uplink/downlink receive quality on the Um interface.
The receive quality is measured in bit error rate (BER). The BSC measures the quality of a radio link
based on the quality band in the MR. The probable cause of an increase in BER is that the signal power
is too low or the channel interference increases.
Trigger Conditions
If BQHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a BQ handover are as follows:
The uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the uplink receive quality threshold of the serving
cell.
The downlink receive quality is greater than or equal to the downlink receive quality threshold of the
serving cell.
The BQ handover is triggered when either of the preceding conditions is met.

The parameters for specifying the uplink and downlink receive quality thresholds are as follows:
For non-AMR calls, the parameter for specifying the uplink receive quality threshold is ULQUALIMIT
and the parameter for specifying the downlink receive quality threshold is DLQUALIMIT.
For AMR FR calls, the parameter for specifying the uplink receive quality threshold is
ULQUALIMITAMRFR and the parameter for specifying the downlink receive quality threshold is
DLQUALIMITAMRFR.
For AMR HR calls, the parameter for specifying the uplink receive quality threshold is
ULQUALIMITAMRHR and the parameter for specifying the downlink receive quality threshold is
DLQUALIMITAMRHR.

If the target cell is a neighboring cell, the receive level of the target cell must meet the following
condition:
Filtered downlink receive level of the target cell > Filtered downlink receive level of the serving cell
after compensation + (INTERCELLHYST of the serving cell configured for the neighboring cell - 64) (BQMARGIN - 64)
In handover algorithm I, if there is only one cell in the candidate cell list and the cell is a neighboring cell, the preceding
condition does not need to be met.

3-10
GSM BSS
Handover
In handover algorithm I, if there is no neighboring cell, INTRACELLHOEN is set to Yes, and the
serving cell is not in the intra-cell handover penalty state, the MS is handed over to the serving cell. A
channel with different frequency band, different frequency, different TRX, or different timeslot is
preferred (priority: different frequency band > different frequency > different TRX > different timeslot).
If the trigger conditions for a BQ handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable, the


handover is made.
Limitations
After the BQ handover is successful, the penalty is performed on the original cell. During
TIMEBQPUNISH, SSBQPUNISH is subtracted from the level of the original cell to prevent an immediate
3.4.4 Rapid Level Drop Handover

Rapid level drop handover is a type of emergency handover.
In edge handover and PBGT handover, the mean value filtering and P/N decision methods are not
responsive to short-period rapid level drop. Therefore, to solve the rapid level drop problem, the finite
impact response filtering can be performed on the original receive level. This filtering method is
responsive to the rapid level drop based on the drop slope of the original receive level.
Trigger Conditions
If RXQCKFALLHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a rapid level drop handover are as follows:
Filtered uplink level < ULEDGETHRES
A1 x C(nt) + A2 x C(nt - t) + A3 x C(nt - 2t) + + A8 x C(nt - 7t) < B

Here, A1 indicates FLTPARAA1, A2 indicates FLTPARAA2, A3 indicates FLTPARAA3, A4 indicates
FLTPARAA4, A5 indicates FLTPARAA5, A6 indicates FLTPARAA6, A7 indicates FLTPARAA7, and
A8 indicates FLTPARAA8.
B indicates FLTPARAB.

The target cell has a higher priority than the serving cell.
If the trigger conditions for a rapid level drop handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not
suitable, the following operations are performed:
If a neighboring 3G cell is available, INTERRATOUTBSCHOEN is set to Yes, and if the MS supports

If no neighboring 3G cell is available, INTERRATOUTBSCHOEN is set to No, or if the MS does not

handover is made.

3.4.5 Interference Handover

In handover algorithm I, interference handover is a type of emergency handover.
Interference handover helps protect the interfered calls and reduce the network interference. It is
applicable to scenarios with interference.
In handover algorithm I, the difference between interference handover and BQ handover is that in BQ
handover the bad signal quality resulting from both coverage and interference is checked. In interference
handover, the bad signal quality resulting from coverage is not checked.
Trigger Conditions
If INTERFHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for an interference handover are as follows:
The filtered value of uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the specified receive quality
threshold at the current uplink receive level.
The filtered value of downlink receive quality is greater than or equal to the specified receive quality
threshold at the current downlink receive level.
The interference handover is triggered if either of the previous conditions is met.

For non-AMR FR calls, the parameter for specifying the receive quality threshold is RXQUALn, where
1 n 12.
For AMR FR calls, the parameters for specifying the receive quality threshold are RXQUALn (1 n
12) and RXLEVOFF.
If
n = 1, the receive quality threshold is RXQUAL1.
If
2 n 12, the receive quality threshold is RXQUALn + RXLEVOFF.

In handover algorithm I, the target cell must have the highest priority in the candidate cell list. In addition,
the target cell must meet the following conditions:
If INTRACELLHOEN is set to Yes and the intra-cell handover penalty timer expires, the serving cell
can be selected as the target cell.
When a number of consecutive intra-cell handovers occur, BANTIME is triggered and the intra-cell handover is prohibited
in the corresponding period.
If the filtered level of a neighboring cell after handover penalty HOTHRES of the neighboring cell +
INTELEVHOHYST - 64, this neighboring cell can serve as the target cell.
If the trigger conditions for an interference handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable,
the following operations need to be performed:
If a neighboring 3G cell is available, INTERRATOUTBSCHOEN is set to Yes, and if the MS supports

If no neighboring 3G cell is available, INTERRATOUTBSCHOEN is set to No, or if the MS does not

handover is made.

NOTE
In Figure 3-2, "A" indicates the receive quality threshold under the current uplink or downlink signal level.
For non-AMR FR calls, "A" ranges from RXQUAL1 to RXQUAL12.
For AMR FR calls, "A" equals RXQUAL1 or the sum of a value from RXQUAL2 to RXQUAL12 and RXLEVOFF.
3.4.6 Handover Due to No Downlink Measurement Report

Handover due to no downlink measurement report is performed on the basis of the uplink quality. The
purpose is to ensure the call continuity and minimize the possibility of call drops.
Handover due to no downlink measurement report is generally caused by adverse radio environment on
the uplink. In this case, the requirements of the filtering algorithm cannot be met, so other handover
decisions cannot be performed.
Trigger Conditions
In handover algorithm I, the trigger conditions for a handover due to no downlink measurement report
are as follows:
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-13
GSM BSS
Handover
NODLMRHOEN is set to Yes.
There is no downlink information in the MR of the call.
The filtered value of uplink quality is greater than or equal to NODLMRHOQUALLIMIT.
The number of lost downlink MRs is smaller than NODLMRHOALLOWLIMIT.
For TCH, the number of saved MRs with uplink quality value is greater than DATAQUAFLTLEN; for
SDCCH, the number of saved MRs with uplink quality value is greater than QLENSI.
In addition, the BSC triggers a handover due to no downlink measurement report when MRs of the
serving cell keep lost for NODLMRHOLASTTIME within NODLMRHOSTATTIME.

In handover algorithm I, the conditions for selecting the target cell are as follows:
The ranked neighboring cells recorded in the last complete MR are saved as candidate cells.
Preferably a neighboring cell is selected as the target cell.
If no neighboring cell is available, the serving cell is selected as the target cell.
3.4.7 Enhanced Dual-Band Network Handover

Enhanced dual-band network handover is performed based on the traffic volume of the OL and UL cells
and based on the receive level.
Enhanced dual-band network handover is classified into the following types:
Handover due to high load in the UL cell
Handover due to low load in the UL cell
Handover due to MS movement to the border of the OL cell
Trigger Conditions for a Handover Due to High Load in the Underlaid Cell
The trigger conditions for a handover due to high load in the UL cell are as follows:
The two cells are in the enhanced dual-band network and OUTLOADHOENABLE is set to Yes.
The MS supports the frequency band on which the OL cell operates.
The handover due to high load in the UL cell is performed only on TCHs.
The load in the UL cell is greater than or equal to OUTGENOVERLDTHRED.
The load in the OL cell is smaller than INNSERIOVERLDTHRED.
The system traffic volume is smaller than or equal to EDBSYSFLOWLEV.
The current call is within the handover margin, and the INTOINNREXLEVTHRED plus the handover
margin is greater than or equal to the receive level, which is also greater than or equal to the
INTOINNREXLEVTHRED.
When all the preceding conditions are met, the handover due to high load in the UL cell is triggered.
If the load of the UL subcell in the cell is greater than or equal to OUTSERIOVERLDTHRED, the
handover margin is adjusted in a period of OUTLOADHOPERIOD subtracted by
OUTLOADHOMODPERI. The step length for handover margin adjustment is specified by
OUTLOADHOSTEP.
Trigger Conditions for a Handover Due to Low Load in the Underlaid Cell
The trigger conditions for a handover due to low load in the UL cell are as follows:
The load in the UL cell is smaller than OUTLOWLOADTHRED.
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-14
GSM BSS
Handover
The current call is within the handover margin and the receive level is greater than or equal to
OUTINNREXLEVTHRED.
When all the preceding conditions are met, the handover due to low load in the UL cell is triggered.
If the load of the UL subcell in the cell is smaller than OUTLOWLOADTHRED for a specified period, the
handover margin is adjusted in a period of INNLOADHOPERI. The step length for handover margin
adjustment is specified by INNLOADHOSTEP.
Trigger Conditions for a Handover Due to MS Movement to the Border of the

Overlaid Cell
The trigger conditions for a handover due to MS movement to the border of the OL cell are as follows:
SS(s) < Thdouter
SS(u) - SS(n) < ATCB_THRD - ATCB_HYST

Here,
SS(s):
specifies the filtering compensated downlink receive level in the serving cell.
Thdouter:
specifies OUTINNREXLEVTHRED.
SS(u):
specifies the downlink level (power compensation is performed on the downlink level based on
the measurement) of the UL subcell where the call is originated. If the SS(u) value cannot be
obtained, the decision of enhanced dual-band network handover is not performed and the decision
condition is met by default.
SS(n):
The best neighboring cell is the one whose measured BCCH level is the highest among
neighboring cells. SS(n) is the signal level of the best neighboring cell that works on the same
frequency band, locates at the same layer, and has the same priority as the UL cell but is not co-sited
with the UL cell. If such a neighboring cell is not available, the value of SS(n) is -110 dBm.
ATCB_THRD:
specifies ATCBTHRED.
ATCB_HYST:
specifies ATCBHYST.
Handover due to MS movement to the border of the OL cell is triggered if either of the preceding
conditions is met.
In the Adapter distance To Cell Border (ATCB) handover algorithm, the border between the OL and UL subcells is
determined according to the signal strength of the serving cell and that of neighboring cells. If SS(s) = SS(n), the system
considers that the MS is located at the border of the UL cell. If SS(s) - SS(n) > ATCB_THRD, the system considers that
the MS is located in the coverage area of the OL subcell. The coverage area of the OL subcell is determined according
to different networking and coverage conditions of the existing network. In addition, the OL subcell of the serving cell
and the OL subcell of the neighboring cells will not overlap regardless of the distance between BTSs.
The handover margin specifies the range of signal level. In the case of OL/UL load handover on the enhanced
dual-band network, the MSs whose downlink levels are within the handover margin are handed over level by level.

The requirements for target cell selection in the enhanced dual-band network are as follows:
For the handover due to high load in the UL cell, the MS must be handed over to the OL cell.
For the handover due to low load in the UL cell, the MS must be handed over to the UL cell.
For the handover due to MS movement to the border of the OL cell, the MS is handed over to the
neighboring cell that ranks first among neighboring cells. The MS should not be handed over to the cell
that ranks after the serving cell. Generally, the target cell is the UL cell. The target cell can also be
another neighboring cell.

Limitations
The limitations on the handover due to high load in the UL cell are as follows:
If the cell where the call is located is on an enhanced dual-band network, CELLINEXTP is set to
Extra(Extra).
The OUTLOADHOENABLE parameter should be set.
The maximum range of the handover margin is from 63 to INTOINNREXLEVTHRED. The MS with the
highest receive level is handed over first.
The limitations on the handover due to low load in the UL cell are as follows:
If the cell where the call is located is on the enhanced dual-band network, CELLINEXTP is set to
Inner(Inner).
The INNLOADHOEN parameter should be set.
The maximum range of the handover margin is from 63 to OUTINNREXLEVTHRED. The MS with the
lowest receive level is handed over first.
The limitations on the handover due to MS movement to the border of the OL cell are as follows:
Inner(Inner).
Impact of the Enhanced Dual-Band Network Handover on the Existing

Algorithm
The impact of the enhanced dual-band network handover on the existing algorithm is as follows:
On the enhanced dual-band network, the MS should not be handed over to a cell in the same UL/OL
cell group when the load handovers between the OL cell and the UL cell (specified by
OUTLOADHOENABLE and INNLOADHOEN) are allowed. This is to prevent a load handover of a
normal cell from colliding with a load handover between the OL cell and the UL cell on the network.
The PBGT handover algorithm may cause inter-cell handovers. Therefore, to avoid ping-pong
handovers, PBGT handovers are restricted in either of the following conditions:
When
INNLOADHOEN is set to YES(Yes), PBGT handovers from the underlaid subcell to the
overlaid subcell are prohibited.
When
OUTLOADHOENABLE is set to YES(Yes), PBGT handovers from the overlaid subcell to the
underlaid subcell are prohibited.
3.4.8 Load Handover

In the network, some cells carry heavy load whereas the overlapping upper-layer cells and the
neighboring cells may carry light load. The load handover is required to balance the load of these cells.
In a load handover procedure, some load in heavy-load cells is switched to light-load cells. Meanwhile,
the load in neighboring cells is not switched to heavy-load cells.
Load handover can be performed between cells at different layers. Figure 3-3 shows the details.
For details about the inter-RAT load handover, see the Interoperability Between GSM and WCDMA Parameter Feature
Description.

To perform load sharing, increase DLEDGETHRES so that the load at the border of a cell is switched to
a neighboring cell with light load.
Whether a cell carries heavy load or light load is determined by the traffic volume in the cell, that is
whether the traffic volume (generally TCH usage) in the cell exceeds the preset threshold.
The TCH usage is calculated using the following formula:
TCH usage = (Number of occupied TCHFs x 2 + Number of occupied TCHHs)/(Number of available
TCHFs x 2 + Number of available TCHHs)
where
Number of available TCHHs is the sum of idle and occupied TCHHs.
Number of available TCHFs is the sum of idle and occupied TCHFs.
If the traffic volume in a cell is greater than TRIGTHRES, the load in this cell is heavy. The load
handover algorithm needs to be enabled.
If the traffic volume in a cell is smaller than LoadAccThres, the load in this cell is light and the cell can
receive load from the heavy-load cells.
Load handover may lead to many handovers. Therefore, the load of the system CPU should be
considered before load handover is performed. In other words, the system traffic volume should be taken
into account. In addition, to prevent too many MSs from being handed over at a time, load handover is
performed step by step. In other words, the edge handover threshold is increased on the basis of
LOADHOSTEP (CLS_Ramp) and LOADHOPERIOD (CLS_Period). When the increase in the edge
handover threshold equals LOADOFFSET (CLS_Offset), the edge handover threshold is not increased
any more. See Figure 3-4 for details.

If LoadHoEn is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a load handover are as follows:
The CPU usage of the system is less than or equal to SYSFLOWLEV.
The current load of the serving cell is greater than or equal to TRIGTHRES.

The conditions for selecting the target cell are as follows:

If the target cell and the serving cell are in the same BSC, a load handover is performed when the
current load of the target cell is smaller than LoadAccThres.

Examples
The system assigns MSs to different load handover margins based on the downlink receive level. The
load handover algorithm is used to hand over the MSs out of a cell step by step.
1. The MSs in load handover margin 1 are handed over to the neighboring cells. Load handover margin
1 specifies the area where the downlink level ranges from DLEDGETHRES to the sum of
DLEDGETHRES and LOADHOSTEP.
2. After a LOADHOPERIOD elapses, the MSs in load handover margin 2 are handed over to the
neighboring cells. The load handover margin 2 specifies the area where the downlink level ranges
from DLEDGETHRES to the sum of DLEDGETHRES and (2 x LOADHOSTEP).
3. The load handover stops when the traffic volume in the cell is less than or equal to TRIGTHRES.
The load handover is performed step by step to prevent call drops caused by a sudden increase in CPU
load or the congestion in the target cell.
3.4.9 Enhanced Load Handover

Like the load handover, the enhanced load handover is used to balance load of cells in a network. Unlike
the load handover, the enhanced load handover considers the handover quality and the load in the
target cell before the handover is performed. In this way, the possibility of low level and congestion due
to heavy load in the target cell after the handover is minimized. The enhanced load handover is
applicable to the scenario where multiple base stations are located at the same place.
Trigger Conditions for an Enhanced Load Handover

If LOADHOAD is set to YES, the trigger conditions for an enhanced load handover are as follows:
The CPU usage of the current system is smaller than or equal to SYSFLOWLEV.
The load of the serving cell is greater than TRIGTHRES.
Here, the load of the serving cell is expressed in the percentage of the channels that are occupied. If the
built-in PCU is used, the calculation method of the cell load depends on the setting of LOADSTATYPE.
The setting of the parameter determines whether the dynamic PDCHs that can be preempted are
considered as occupied channels.
When LOADSTATYPE is set to 0, the dynamic PDCHs that can be preempted are not considered in the
cell load.
When LOADSTATYPE is set to 1, the dynamic PDCHs that can be preempted are considered as
occupied TCHs in the cell load.
When LOADSTATYPE is set to 2, the dynamic PDCHs that can be preempted are considered as idle
TCHs in the cell load.
The number of the dynamic PDCHs that can be preempted depends on the number of dynamic PDCHs
and DYNCHNPREEMPTLEV. The number of dynamic PDCHs is the total number of channels whose
CHTYPE is set to FULLTCH.
If the external PCU is used, the number of the dynamic PDCHs that can be preempted is always zero.
The setting of LOADSTATYPE is irrelevant to calculation of the cell load.

When a candidate cell satisfying the following conditions is found and not a single MS within the range
specified by LOADHOUSRRATIO is handed over to the target cell, further search of the target cell is
stopped and current traffic is handed over to the candidate cell. The detailed conditions for selecting the
target cell are as follows:
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-21
GSM BSS
Handover
The value of LOADHOPBGTMARGIN is not 0 and the path loss in the serving cell minus that in the
target cell is larger than LOADHOPBGTMARGIN.
The load of the target cell is smaller than LoadAccThres.
The receive level of the target cell is greater than HOTHRES of the target cell plus INTELEVHOHYST
of the handover from the serving cell to the target cell.
Of all the MSs that are within the range specified by LOADHOUSRRATIO and meet the preceding
conditions, only one MS can initiate the handover at a time. This regulation prevents too many MSs
from being handed over to the target cell at one time and avoids congestion in the target cell.
3.4.10 Edge Handover

Edge handover is performed on the basis of receive level.
To trigger an edge handover, the receive level of the target cell should be at least one hysteresis value
(specified by INTERCELLHYST - 64) greater than the receive level of the serving cell.
Trigger Conditions
If FRINGEHOEN is set to Yes and EDOUTHOADEN is set to No, the trigger conditions for an edge
handover are as follows:
Either of the following conditions is met:

The
filtered downlink receive level of the serving cell after compensation is smaller than
DLEDGETHRES.
The
filtered uplink receive level of the serving cell after compensation is smaller than
ULEDGETHRES.
Receive level of a neighboring cell > Receive level of the serving cell + (INTERCELLHYST 64)
An edge handover is triggered when the P/N criterion is met, that is, when the previous conditions are
met for EDGELAST1 within EDGESTAT1.
If both FRINGEHOEN and EDOUTHOADEN are set to Yes, the trigger conditions for an edge handover
are as follows:
Filtered downlink receive level of the serving cell after compensation < DLEDGETHRES +
(EDOUTHOOFFSET 64)
Filtered uplink receive level of the serving cell after compensation < ULEDGETHRES +
(EDOUTHOOFFSET 64)
If FRINGEHOEN is set to No, EDOUTHOADEN and EDOUTHOOFFSET are invalid.

The target cell must have the highest priority among the candidate cells. In addition, it must meet the
following conditions:
After cells are ranked, the target cell must have a higher priority than the serving cell.
A cell becomes the target cell if the previous conditions are met for EDGEADJLASTTIME within
EDGEADJSTATTIME.
If the trigger conditions for an edge handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable, the


support the 2G/3G inter-RAT handover, the decision on whether to initiate another type of handover is
made.
3.4.11 Fast-Moving Micro Cell Handover

Fast-moving micro cell handover is performed from a micro cell to a macro cell according to the relative
speed of an MS so that the number of handovers can be minimized.
Fast-moving micro cell handover applies to the following scenarios:
If an MS is moving fast in a micro cell, it is handed over to a macro cell.
Time penalty is performed on the micro cell to prevent an MS that is moving fast in a macro cell from
entering a micro cell. This ensures that the fast-moving MS camps on the macro cell.
Figure 3-7 shows a fast-moving micro cell handover.

Trigger Conditions
If QCKMVHOEN is set to Yes, the handover decision procedure of fast-moving micro cell handover is as
follows:
1. When the trigger conditions for an edge handover or PBGT handover are met, the fast-moving micro
cell handover decision is started.
2. When the period during which the MS camps on the serving cell is shorter than QCKTIMETH, the
number of cells through which the fast-moving MS passes is incremented by one.
The cells counted by the system must locate at a layer lower than layer 4. In other words, it must be a non-Umbrella cell.
3. When the number of cells that the MS passes in fast movement reaches QCKSTATCNT, the
fast-moving micro cell handover is triggered if the number of cells that the MS passes in fast
movement counted by the system is greater than or equal to QCKTRUECNT.

In handover algorithm I, the target cell must have the highest priority in the candidate cell list. In addition,
The target cell must be at layer 4, that is, Umbrella cell.
Filtered receive level of the target cell HOTHRES + INTELEVHOHYST - 64
Limitations
After the fast-moving micro cell handover is successful, the penalty is performed on all the neighboring
micro cells. During SPEEDPUNISHT, SDPUNVAL is subtracted from the receive level of every
neighboring micro cell.
Cell Layer and Cell Priority

With Huawei multiband handover algorithm, a proper traffic volume distribution can be realized among
multiple frequency bands.
Huawei multiband handover algorithm divides cells into four layers, with 16 priorities at each layer. The
LAYER parameter specifies at which layer a cell is located. This algorithm is applicable to complex
networking scenarios. Figure 3-8Figure 3-8 shows the cell layers.

Layer 1
In Huawei multiband handover algorithm, a GSM network covering a certain area is divided into four
layers, which are:
Layer 4: Umbrella cell. The umbrella cells are generally GSM900 cells having the wide coverage
feature. It also implements fast MS connection.
Layer 3: Macro cell. The macro cells are generally GSM900 cells, which are commonly used in current
GSM system and serve majority of subscribers.
Layer 2: Micro cell. The micro cells are generally DCS1800 cells having the small coverage feature.
They enable capacity expansion.
Layer 1: Pico cell. The Pico cells are generally DCS1800 cells, which are used in hot spots and blind
spots.
The cell at the lower layer has a higher priority.

PRIOR controls a handover between cells at the same layer. Each layer has 16 priorities, numbered
1-16 respectively. A high value indicates a low priority. If the cells at the same layer have different
priorities, a cell with a smaller priority value has a higher priority. PRIOR along with CELLLAYER
determines the priority of a cell. The priority affects the sequence of neighboring cells for handover.
3.4.12 Inter-Layer Handover

Inter-layer handover is a type of normal handover. It is used to enable the micro cells at low layers (the
priority is high) to absorb traffic volume.
The GSM network is divided into several layers to balance the traffic volume flexibly and to meet the
requirements of different network topologies. For details, see section 3.4.11 Fast-Moving Micro Cell
Handover.
Trigger Conditions
If LEVHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for an inter-layer handover are as follows:
The layer at which the target cell is located has a higher priority than the layer at which the serving cell
is located.

If NCELLPUNEN is set to Yes for the target cell, the timer NCELLPUNTM is started when the previous

receive level of the target cell. If the timer expires, an inter-layer handover is triggered. If the timer stops,
no inter-layer handover is triggered. The timer stops in either of the following cases:
If the filtered BCCH receive level of the target cell is smaller than the value of NCELLPUNSTPTH, the
timer stops for the target cell.
If the trigger conditions for a BQ handover are met, the timer for all handover candidate cells stops.

3.4.14 AMR Handover

This section describes the feature GBFD-115504 AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment.
The AMR handover in handover I algorithm consists of the AMR TCHF-TCHH handover and AMR
TCHH-TCHF handover algorithm. The AMR TCHF-TCHH handover is conducted based on cell load and
RQI, whereas the AMR TCHH-TCHF handover is conducted based on RQI.
The conversion formula between RQI and C/I is RQI = 2 x C/I.
Trigger Conditions for an AMR TCHF-TCHH Handover

The trigger conditions for an AMR TCHF-TCHH handover are as follows:
INTRACELLFHHOEN is set to Yes.
The target call is an AMR call.
The half-rate function must be enabled in the cell where the call is initiated.
The full-rate speech version 3 and half-rate speech version 3 must be supported by the cell where the
call is initiated.

The type of channel specified by the MSC during a call can be changed during a handover.
For AMR FR calls, if the parameter AMRTCHHPRIORALLOW is set to ON(On), TCHF-to-TCHH

AMRTCHHPRIORLOAD and the proportion of AMR HR users is smaller than the value for the
parameter ALLOWAMRHALFRATEUSERPERC.
For AMR FR calls, if the parameter AMRTCHHPRIORALLOW is set to OFF(Off), TCHF-to-TCHH

handover is triggered when the proportion of AMR HR users is smaller than the value for the
parameter ALLOWAMRHALFRATEUSERPERC.
The call occupies the full-rate TCH, and the RQI/2 is greater than INHOF2HTH.
For an AMR FR call, the AMR TCHF-TCHH handover can be performed if the preceding conditions are
met for INFHHOLAST within INFHHOSTAT.
Trigger Conditions for an AMR TCHH-TCHF Handover

The trigger conditions for an AMR TCHH-TCHF handover are as follows:
INTRACELLFHHOEN is set to Yes.
The target call is an AMR call.
The half-rate function must be enabled in the cell where the call is initiated.
The full-rate speech version 3 and half-rate speech version 3 must be supported by the cell where the
call is initiated.
The type of channel specified by the MSC during a call can be changed during a handover.
The call occupies the half-rate TCH, and the RQI/2 is smaller than INHOH2FTH.
For an AMR HR call, the AMR TCHH-TCHF handover can be performed if the preceding conditions are
met for INFHHOLAST within INFHHOSTAT.

The AMR handover is an intra-cell handover. Therefore, only the serving cell can be selected as the
target cell.
3.4.15 SDCCH Handover

This section describes the feature GBFD-110608 SDCCH Handover.
SDCCH handover is a process in which the MS is handed over from an SDCCH to another SDCCH in an
immediate assignment. SDCCH handover helps improve the access success rate of the MSs on the
edge of the network, improving the network QoS.
The principle of SDCCH handover is the same as that of TCH handover. Regarding procedure, an
SDCCH handover involves measurement and MR reporting, MR processing, handover decision, and
handover execution.
Whether an SDCCH handover can be performed is controlled by the SIGCHANHOEN parameter. If an
inter-BSC SDCCH handover is required, both SIGCHANHOEN and INRBSCSDHOEN should be set to
YES(Yes).
The handover decision algorithm for SDCCH handover is different from that for TCH handover in the
following ways:

3.5 Handover Decision Based on Handover Algorithm II

This section describes the feature GBFD-510501 HUAWEI II Handover.
Handover decision based on handover algorithm II is made in the following order: forced handover,
emergency handover, intra-cell handover, and inter-cell handover.
Handover decision based on handover algorithm II involves the following procedures:
Determining whether the serving cell meets the trigger conditions
Selecting corresponding candidate cell list for each handover type
Performing the comprehensive decision and determining the candidate neighboring cells
The procedure for performing comprehensive decision based on handover results and determining the
candidate neighboring cells is as follows:
1. The BSC selects a handover type with the highest priority from all the handovers that can be
performed on each neighboring cell.
The handover priority is as follows:
Forced
handover, emergency handover, and interference handover have a high priority. Figure 3-10

If the trigger conditions for an emergency handover are met and there is at least one candidate cell, the
emergency handover timer NEWURGHOMININTV is started. Another emergency handover decision
can be performed only when NEWURGHOMININTV times out.
3.5.1 Quick Handover

Handover
Quick handover aims to increase the handover success rate of an MS moving at a high speed and to
ensure the call continuity and low call drop rate. Quick handover applies to the scenario where an MS
moves fast along an urban backbone road, a selected route, or a high-speed railroad.
Quick Handover Types

Quick handover consists of frequency offset handover and quick PBGT handover.
Frequency offset handover

Whether the MS is moving away from the serving cell is determined based on the frequency offset
information provided by an MS moving at a high speed. Frequency offset handover decision is made
according to the uplink/downlink receive level of the serving cell and the path loss of neighboring cells.
Quick PBGT handover

Quick PBGT handover decision is made according to the path loss of neighboring cells.
For quick handover, the handover response speed is enhanced by:
Accurately calculating the moving speed of the MS
Lifting the restriction on the interval between handover decisions
Reducing the number of MRs for the handover decision
Introducing the alpha filtering
Quick Handover Preparation

The preparation for quick handover involves the following aspects:
Frequency offset is decoded from the MR.

Frequency offset of the MS is obtained from the uplink MR that the BTS sends to the BSC.
Alpha filtering is performed on the MR.
Trigger Conditions
During handover decision, it is first determined whether the trigger conditions for a frequency offset
handover are met. When the BTS cannot send the frequency offset information or the reported
frequency offset information is invalid, quick PBGT handover is triggered, provided that other conditions
for a frequency offset handover are met.
If QUICKHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a quick handover are as follows:
The MS is moving away from the serving cell (the frequency offset in the measurement result is a
negative value) and the moving speed of the MS is greater than MOVESPEEDTHRES.
The filtered uplink level of the serving cell is smaller than HOUPTRIGE.
The compensated downlink level of the serving cell is smaller than HODOWNTRIGE.
The path loss of configured chain neighboring cells is smaller than the specified threshold of the path
loss of the serving cell.
The trigger conditions for a quick handover are as follows:
If the last three conditions are met simultaneously, the decision is made as follows:
If
the first condition is met, a frequency offset handover is performed.
If
the first condition is not met, a quick PBGT handover is performed.
If all the last three conditions are not met, quick handover is not triggered.
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-33
GSM BSS
Handover

The target cell must be a chain neighboring cell of the serving cell. The target cell can be obtained
through the setting of ISCHAINNCELL. If HODIRFORECASTEN is set to Yes, a neighboring cell in the
moving direction of the MS is selected preferentially.
To forecast the moving direction of the MS, the direction of a chain neighboring cell (A or B) compared
with the serving cell is specified by CHAINNCELLTYPE. If the number of times that the MS is handed
over to neighboring cells in the same direction (B for example) is greater than or equal to
HODIRLASTTIME when the handover time reaches HODIRSTATIME, the MS is inferred to be moving
towards the B direction. Subsequently, the MS is preferentially handed over to the neighboring cell
whose CHAINNCELLTYPE is B.
Limitations
The limitations on quick handover are as follows:
The candidate cells for quick handover must be chain neighboring cells of the serving cell.
After a quick handover is successful, the penalty is performed on the original cell during the penalty
time to prevent an immediate handover back to the original cell. The penalty time and penalty value
are specified by TIMEPUNISH and HOPUNISHVALUE respectively.
3.5.2 TA Handover
TA handover is a type of emergency handover. The TA handover decision is made according to the TA
value reported by the MS.
The TA value of a normal cell ranges from 0 to 63 and that of an extended cell ranges from 0 to 229. The
TA can be stepped up or down in steps of 553.5 m. The TA value of 63 corresponds to a distance of 35
km.
Trigger Conditions
TA handover is triggered when the following conditions are met:
TAHOEN is set to Yes.
Filtered TA value in the MR provided by the MS is greater than or equal to TALIMIT.
The TA handover can be triggered only when the preceding two conditions are met simultaneously.
From the perspective of the trigger conditions for a TA handover, TA can be regarded as a limitation to the size of a cell.

If TALIMIT of a co-site neighboring cell is smaller than or equal to the TALIMIT of the serving cell, a
handover to the neighboring cell is prohibited.
In handover algorithm II, a cell becomes the target cell for TA handover if the previous conditions are
met for TALASTTIME within TASTATTIME.
If the trigger conditions for a TA handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable, the

handover is made.
Limitations
After the TA handover is successful, the penalty is performed on the original cell. During
TIMETAPUNISH, SSTAPUNISH is subtracted from the level of the original cell to prevent an immediate
3.5.3 BQ Handover
BQ handover is a type of emergency handover in which the system makes the decision based on the
uplink/downlink receive quality on the Um interface.
Receive quality is represented by BER. The BSC measures the quality of a radio link based on the
quality band in the MR. The probable cause of an increase in BER is that the signal power is too low or
the channel interference increases.
Trigger Conditions
If BQHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a BQ handover are as follows:
The uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the uplink receive quality threshold of the serving
cell.
The downlink receive quality is greater than or equal to the downlink receive quality threshold of the
serving cell.
The BQ handover is triggered when either of the preceding conditions is met.

For non-AMR calls, the parameter for specifying the uplink receive quality threshold is ULQUALIMIT
and the parameter for specifying the downlink receive quality threshold is DLQUALIMIT.
For AMR FR calls, the parameter for specifying the uplink receive quality threshold is
ULQUALIMITAMRFR and the parameter for specifying the downlink receive quality threshold is
DLQUALIMITAMRFR.
For AMR HR calls, the parameter for specifying the uplink receive quality threshold is
ULQUALIMITAMRHR and the parameter for specifying the downlink receive quality threshold is
DLQUALIMITAMRHR.

In handover algorithm II, the serving cell cannot be selected as the target cell.
The receive level of target cell must meet the following conditions:
The
serving cell and the target cell work in the same frequency band.
Filtered downlink receive level of the target cell > Filtered downlink receive level of the serving cell
after compensation + (INTERCELLHYST of the serving cell configured for the neighboring cell - 64) (BQMARGIN - 64)

The
serving cell works in DCS1800 and the target cell works in GSM900.
There is no constraint on the target cell in this condition.
In handover algorithm II, a cell becomes the target cell for BQ handover if the previous conditions are
met for BQLASTTIME within BQSTATTIME.
If the trigger conditions for a BQ handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable, the


handover is made.
Limitations
After the BQ handover is successful, the penalty is performed on the original cell. During
TIMEBQPUNISH, SSBQPUNISH is subtracted from the level of the original cell to prevent an immediate
3.5.4 Interference Handover

Interference handover is a type of intra-cell handover in handover algorithm II.
Interference handover helps protect the interfered calls and reduce the network interference. It is
applicable to scenarios with interference.
In handover algorithm II, the BQ handover is a type of emergency handover and the interference
handover is a type of intra-cell handover.
Trigger Conditions
If INTRACELLHOEN is set to Yes and INTERFHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for an
interference handover are as follows:
The filtered value of uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the specified receive quality
threshold at the current uplink receive level.
The filtered value of downlink receive quality is greater than or equal to the specified receive quality
threshold at the current downlink receive level.
In handover algorithm II, the interference handover is triggered when the previous conditions are met for
INTERFERELASTTIME within INTERFERESTATTIME.
For non-AMR FR calls, the parameter for specifying the receive quality threshold is RXQUALn, where
1 n 12.
For AMR FR calls, the parameters for specifying the receive quality threshold are RXQUALn (1 n
12) and RXLEVOFF.
If
n = 1, the receive quality threshold is RXQUAL1.
If
2 n 12, the receive quality threshold is RXQUALn + RXLEVOFF.

In handover algorithm II, only the serving cell can be selected as the target cell.

Limitations
In handover algorithm II, if an interference handover is initiated, it cannot be initiated again within
INTERFEREHOPENTIME regardless of whether the handover is successful.
3.5.5 Handover Due to No Downlink Measurement Report

Handover due to no downlink measurement report is performed on the basis of the uplink quality. The
purpose is to ensure the call continuity and minimize the possibility of call drops.
Handover due to no downlink measurement report is generally caused by adverse radio environment on
the uplink. In this case, the requirements of the filtering algorithm cannot be met, so other handover
decisions cannot be performed.
Trigger Conditions
In handover algorithm II, the trigger conditions for a handover due to no downlink measurement report
are as follows:
NODLMRHOEN is set to Yes.
There is no downlink information in the MR of the call.
The number of lost downlink MRs is smaller than NODLMRHOALLOWLIMIT.
For TCH, the number of saved MRs with uplink quality value is greater than DATAQUAFLTLEN; for
SDCCH, the number of saved MRs with uplink quality value is greater than QLENSI.
The filtered value of uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to ULQUALIMIT.
For AMR
FR calls, the corresponding parameter is ULQUALIMITAMRFR.
For AMR
HR calls, the corresponding parameter is ULQUALIMITAMRHR.
In addition, the BSC triggers a handover due to no downlink measurement report when MRs of the
serving cell keep lost for NODLMRHOLASTTIME within NODLMRHOSTATTIME.

In handover algorithm II, the conditions for selecting the target cell are as follows:
The ranked neighboring cells recorded in the last complete MR are saved as candidate cells.
Only a neighboring cell can serve as the target cell.
Receive level in neighboring cell > Filtered receive level in serving cell + (INTERCELLHYST - 64) (BQMARGIN - 64)
A neighboring cell serves as the target cell if the previous conditions are met for ULBQLASTTIME
within ULBQSTATTIME.
3.5.6 Enhanced Dual-Band Network Handover

Enhanced dual-band network handover is performed based on the traffic volume of the OL and UL cells
and based on the receive level.
Enhanced dual-band network handover is classified into the following types:
Handover due to high load in the UL cell
Handover due to low load in the UL cell
Handover due to MS movement to the border of the OL cell

Trigger Conditions for a Handover Due to High Load in the Underlaid Cell
The trigger conditions for a handover due to high load in the UL cell are as follows:
The two cells are in the enhanced dual-band network and OUTLOADHOENABLE is set to Yes.
The MS supports the frequency band on which the OL cell operates.
The handover due to high load in the UL cell is performed only on TCHs.
The load in the UL cell is greater than or equal to OUTGENOVERLDTHRED.
The load in the OL cell is smaller than INNSERIOVERLDTHRED.
The current call is within the handover margin, and the INTOINNREXLEVTHRED plus the handover
margin is greater than or equal to the receive level, which is also greater than or equal to the
INTOINNREXLEVTHRED.
When all the preceding conditions are met, the handover due to high load in the UL cell is triggered.
If the load of the UL subcell in the cell is greater than or equal to OUTSERIOVERLDTHRED, the
handover margin is adjusted in a period of OUTLOADHOPERIOD subtracted by
OUTLOADHOMODPERI. The step length for handover margin adjustment is specified by
OUTLOADHOSTEP.
Trigger Conditions for a Handover Due to Low Load in the Underlaid Cell
The trigger conditions for a handover due to low load in the UL cell are as follows:
The load in the UL cell is smaller than OUTLOWLOADTHRED.
The current call is within the handover margin and the receive level is greater than or equal to
OUTINNREXLEVTHRED.
When all the preceding conditions are met, the handover due to low load in the UL cell is triggered.
If the load of the UL subcell in the cell is smaller than OUTLOWLOADTHRED for a specified period, the
handover margin is adjusted in a period of INNLOADHOPERI. The step length for handover margin
adjustment is specified by INNLOADHOSTEP.
Trigger Conditions for a Handover Due To MS Movement in the Overlaid

Subcell
The trigger conditions for the handover due to MS movement in the OL subcell are described as follows:
SS(s) < Thdouter
SS(u) - SS(n) < ATCB_THRD - ATCB_HYST

Here,
SS(s):
specifies the filtering compensated downlink receive level in the serving cell.
Thdouter:
specifies OUTINNREXLEVTHRED.
SS(u):
specifies the downlink level (power compensation is performed on the downlink level based on
the measurement) of the UL subcell where the call is originated. If the SS(u) value cannot be
obtained, the decision of enhanced dual-band network handover is not performed and the decision
condition is met by default.
SS(n):
The best neighboring cell is the one whose measured BCCH level is the highest among
neighboring cells. SS(n) is the level value of such an optimum neighboring cell that is on the same
frequency band, layer, and level with the UL subcell but is not co-sited with the UL subcell. If such a
neighboring cell is not available, the value of SS(n) is -110 dBm.
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-38
GSM BSS
Handover
ATCB_THRD:
specifies ATCBTHRED.
ATCB_HYST:
specifies ATCBHYST.
Handover due to MS movement in the OL subcell is triggered if either of the preceding conditions is
met.
For the ATCB handover algorithm, the boundaries of the OL and UL subcells are determined according to the relative
value between the signal strength of serving cell and that of neighboring cell. When SS(s) is equal to SS(n), the system
considers that it is the boundary point of the UL subcell. When the value of SS(s) subtracted by SS(n) is greater than
ATCB_THRD, it is the coverage area of the OL subcell. The coverage area of the OL subcell is determined according to
different networking and coverage conditions of the existing network. In addition, the OL subcell of the serving cell and
the OL subcell of the neighboring cells will not overlap regardless of the distance between BTSs.
The handover margin specifies the range of signal level. In the case of OL/UL load handover on the enhanced
dual-band network, the MSs whose downlink levels are within the handover margin are handed over level by level.

The requirements for target cell selection in the enhanced dual-band network are as follows:
For the handover due to high load in the UL cell, the MS must be handed over to the OL cell.
For the handover due to low load in the UL cell, the MS must be handed over to the UL cell.
For the handover due to MS movement in the OL subcell, the MS must be handed over to the UL cell.
Limitations
The limitations on the handover due to high load in the UL cell are as follows:
If the cell where the call is located is on an enhanced dual-band network, CELLINEXTP is set to
Extra(Extra).
The OUTLOADHOENABLE parameter should be set.
The maximum range of the handover margin is from 63 to INTOINNREXLEVTHRED. The MS with the
highest receive level is handed over first.
The limitations on the handover due to low load in the UL cell are as follows:
Inner(Inner).
The INNLOADHOEN parameter should be set.
The maximum range of the handover margin is from 63 to OUTINNREXLEVTHRED. The MS with the
lowest receive level is handed over first.
The limitations on the handover due to MS movement in the OL subcell are described as follows:
The cell where the call is located is on the enhanced dual-band network. CELLINEXTP is set to
Inner(Inner).
Impact of the Enhanced Dual-Band Network Handover on the Existing

Algorithm
The impact of the enhanced dual-band network handover on the existing algorithm is as follows:
On the enhanced dual-band network, the MS should not be handed over to a cell in the same UL/OL cell
group when the load handovers between the OL cell and the UL cell (specified by
OUTLOADHOENABLE and INNLOADHOEN) are allowed. This is to prevent a load handover of a
normal cell from colliding with a load handover between the OL cell and the UL cell on the network.

3.5.7 Load Handover

In handover algorithm II, load handover is not decided independently.
In handover algorithm II, the load handover decision is made in network adjustment phase. The selection
of target cell should be processed by the better-cell handover. That is, the load handover is triggered
when the trigger conditions for a load handover and better-cell handover are met simultaneously.
See 3.4.8 Load Handover for the trigger conditions for a load handover. See section 3.5.10 Better-Cell
Handover for the trigger conditions for a better-cell handover."
The ranges of load handover margins are defined as follows:
Load handover margin 1 specifies the area where the downlink level ranges from INTERCELLHYST
minus LOADHOSTEP to INTERCELLHYST.
Load handover margin 2 specifies the area where the downlink level ranges from INTERCELLHYST
minus LOADHOSTEP x 2 to INTERCELLHYST.
Load handover margin 1 specifies the area where the downlink level ranges from DLEDGETHRES to
the sum of DLEDGETHRES and LOADHOSTEP.
3.5.8 Edge Handover

Edge handover is performed on the basis of receive level.
To trigger an edge handover, the receive level of the target cell should be at least one hysteresis value
(specified by INTERCELLHYST 64) greater than the receive level of the serving cell.
Trigger Conditions
If FRINGEHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for an edge handover are as follows:

Filtered
downlink receive level of the serving cell after compensation < DLEDGETHRES
Filtered
uplink receive level of the serving cell after compensation < ULEDGETHRES
met for EDGELAST within EDGESTAT.
If both FRINGEHOEN and EDOUTHOADEN are set to Yes, the trigger conditions for an edge handover
are as follows:
Filtered downlink receive level of the serving cell after compensation < DLEDGETHRES +
(EDOUTHOOFFSET 64)
Filtered uplink receive level of the serving cell after compensation < ULEDGETHRES +
(EDOUTHOOFFSET 64)
If FRINGEHOEN is set to No, EDOUTHOADEN and EDOUTHOOFFSET are invalid.
Figure 3-12 shows an edge handover.

The target cell must have the highest priority in the candidate cell list. In addition, it must meet the
following conditions:
A cell becomes the target cell if the previous conditions are met for EDGEADJLASTTIME within
EDGEADJSTATTIME.
If the trigger conditions for an edge handover are met but the candidate 2G cells are not suitable, the


support the 2G/3G inter-RAT handover, the decision on whether to initiate another type of handover is
made.
3.5.9 Fast-Moving Micro Cell Handover

Fast-moving micro cell handover is performed from a micro cell to a macro cell according to the relative
speed of an MS so that the number of handovers can be minimized.
Fast-moving micro cell handover applies to the following scenarios:
If an MS is moving fast in a micro cell, it is handed over to a macro cell.
To prevent an MS that is moving fast in a macro cell from entering a micro cell, time penalty is
performed on the micro cell so that the fast-moving MS camps on the macro cell.
Figure 3-13 shows a fast-moving micro cell handover.

Handover
Figure 3-13 Fast-moving micro cell handover
Umbrella cell
Micro cell
Trigger Conditions
If QCKMVHOEN is set to Yes, the handover decision procedure of fast-moving micro cell handover is as
follows:
1. When the trigger conditions for an edge handover or PBGT handover are met, the fast-moving micro
cell handover decision is started.
2. When the period during which the MS camps on the serving cell is shorter than QCKTIMETH, the
number of cells through which the fast-moving MS passes is incremented by one.
The cells counted by the system must locate at a layer lower than layer 4. In other words, they must be non-Umbrella
cells.
3. When the number of cells that the MS passes in fast movement reaches QCKSTATCNT, the
fast-moving micro cell handover is triggered if the number of cells that the MS passes in fast
movement counted by the system is greater than or equal to QCKTRUECNT.

In handover algorithm II, the target cell must have the highest priority in the candidate cell list. In addition,
The target cell must be at layer 4, that is, Umbrella cell.
Filtered receive level of the target cell HOTHRES + INTELEVHOHYST 64
A neighboring cell serves as the target cell if the previous conditions are met for HCSLASTTIME within
HCSSTATTIME.
Limitations
After the fast-moving micro cell handover is successful, the penalty is performed on all the neighboring
micro cells. During SPEEDPUNISHT, SDPUNVAL is subtracted from the receive level of every
neighboring micro cell.

Layer 1
In Huawei multiband handover algorithm, a GSM network covering a certain area is divided into four
layers, which are:
Layer 4: Umbrella cell. The umbrella cells are generally GSM900 cells having the wide coverage
feature. It also implements fast MS connection.
Layer 3: Macro cell. The macro cells are generally GSM900 cells, which are commonly used in current
GSM system and serve majority of subscribers.
Layer 2: Micro cell. The micro cells are generally DCS1800 cells having the small coverage feature.
They enable capacity expansion.
Layer 1: Pico cell. The Pico cells are generally DCS1800 cells, which are used in hot spots and blind
spots.
The cell at the lower layer has a higher priority.

PRIOR controls a handover between cells at the same layer. Each layer has 16 priorities, numbered
1-16 respectively. A high value indicates a low priority. If the cells at the same layer have different
priorities, a cell with a smaller priority value has a higher priority. PRIOR along with CELLLAYER
determines the priority of a cell. The priority affects the sequence of neighboring cells for handover.
3.5.10 Better-Cell Handover

Better-cell handover is an optimization of inter-layer handover and PBGT handover in handover
algorithm I. Better-cell handover is specific to handover algorithm II.
Trigger Conditions
If BETTERCELLHOEN is set to Yes, the trigger conditions for a better-cell handover are as follows:
Issue 04 (2012-06-30)

3-43
GSM BSS
Handover
If PATHLOSSHOEN is set to Yes, path loss is taken into consideration during the sorting of the serving
cell and handover candidate cells. If PATHLOSSHOEN is set to No, path loss is not taken into
consideration during the sorting of the serving cell and handover candidate cells.
If the serving cell is in the candidate cell list, the priorities of the handover candidate cells must be
higher than the priority of the serving cell after the sorting.
If the serving cell is not in the candidate cell list, the handover candidate cells must meet the following
conditions:
LoadHoEn
is set to NO, or LoadHoEn is set to YES but the load in the serving cell is smaller than
TRIGTHRES.
If
the serving cell and the handover candidate cells are at the same layer and have the same priority,
the following conditions must be met:
SS_DL(N) - SS_DL(S) > H - 64
SS_DL(N) indicates the filtered BCCH receive level of a target cell. SS_DL(S) indicates the
compensated receive level on the downlink TCH after filtration. H indicates INTERCELLHYST of the
serving cell over the neighboring cell.
Negative handover is a type of better-cell handover. When INTERCELLHYST is set to a value
smaller than 64, the value of H 64 is negative. In this case, even if the downlink receive level in a
candidate cell is smaller than the downlink receive level in the serving cell, a negative handover to
the candidate cell can be performed.
If
the serving cell and the handover candidate cells are at different layers but have the same priority,
the following conditions must be met:
SS_DL(N) T_layer(N) + H_layer(S)
SS_DL(N) indicates the filtered BCCH receive level of a target cell. T_layer(N) indicates HOTHRES
of the target cell. H_layer(S) indicates INTELEVHOHYST of the serving cell.
If
LoadHoEn is set to YES and the load in the serving cell is greater than TRIGTHRES, better-cell
handover can be triggered.
A neighboring cell becomes a target cell if the preceding conditions are met for
BETTERCELLLASTTIME during BETTERCELLLASTTIME.
If both EDOUTHOADEN and NCELLPUNEN are set to No for the target cell, a better-cell handover is
triggered when the previous conditions are met.
If EDOUTHOADEN is set to Yes for the target cell, a better-cell handover is triggered when the previous
conditions and the following condition are met:
Filtered downlink receive level of the serving cell after power control compensation HOTHRES
(LEVHOHYST + EDOUTHOOFFSET 64)
If NCELLPUNEN is set to Yes for the target cell, the timer NCELLPUNTM is started. After the timer is
started, the value of NCELLPUNLEV is subtracted from the filtered receive level of the target cell. If the
timer expires, a better-cell handover is triggered. If the timer stops, no better-cell handover is triggered.
The timer stops when the filtered BCCH receive level of the target cell is smaller than the value of
NCELLPUNSTPTH.

The requirements for target cell selection are as follows:

Only the serving cell can be selected as the target cell of the TCHF-TCHH handover.

This section describes the feature GBFD-110608 SDCCH Handover.
SDCCH handover is a process in which the MS is handed over from an SDCCH to another SDCCH in an
immediate assignment. SDCCH handover helps improve the access success rate of the MSs on the
edge of the network, improving the network QoS.
The principle of SDCCH handover is the same as that of TCH handover. Regarding procedure, an
SDCCH handover involves measurement and MR reporting, MR processing, handover decision, and
handover execution.
Whether an SDCCH handover can be performed is controlled by the SIGCHANHOEN parameter. If an
inter-BSC SDCCH handover is required, both SIGCHANHOEN and INRBSCSDHOEN should be set to
YES(Yes).
The handover decision algorithm for SDCCH handover is different from that for TCH handover in the
following ways:
The algorithms for the following handovers that support SDCCH handover:
Quick handover, TA handover, BQ handover, interference handover, handover due to no downlink
measurement report, edge handover, and fast-moving micro cell handover
The algorithms for the following handovers do not support SDCCH handover:
Enhanced dual-band network handover, load handover, better-cell handover, handover between a
full-rate TCH and a half-rate TCH, better 3G cell handover, concentric cell handover, and tight BCCH
handover

With the Direct Retry feature, a heavy-traffic cell can share its traffic with neighboring cells.

This feature improves the immediate assignment success rate and assignment success rate, but
increases the number of handovers in heavy-traffic areas.
5.3 SDCCH Handover

The SDCCH Handover feature increases the CPU load because the BSC needs to process SDCCH
measurement reports and make handover decisions.

This feature reduces the SDCCH call drop rate and enhances Um-interface security, but increases the
number of handovers.

None

The Fast Move Handover feature enables the BSC to hand over calls to a better cell based on the path
loss, increasing the handover success rate and decreasing the call drop rate.
5.7 Chain Cell Handover

None

When a fast-moving MS travels in chain cells along an urban backbone road, expressway, or high-speed
railway, the Chain Cell Handover feature increases the handover success rate, improves voice quality,
and decreases the call drop rate.
5.8 BTS power lift for handover

None

The BTS power lift for handover feature increases the handover success rate and decreases the call
drop rate in areas with poor signal coverage.
This feature increases the probability that the BTS transmits signals with full power. The larger the
probability that the BTS transmits signals with full power, the stronger the co-channel or adjacent
channel interference to other cells, and the greater the fluctuation of the downlink HQI.

6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Handover
6.1.1 HUAWEI I Handover
It is recommended that the HUAWEI I Handover feature be used.
6.1.2 HUAWEI II Handover

It is recommended that the HUAWEI II Handover feature be used in a single-band and dual-band hybrid
network.
6.1.3 Direct Retry

It is recommended that the Direct Retry feature be used in cells where the assignment success rate is
low due to high load.

It is recommended that the SDCCH Handover feature be used only in networks where authentication is
enabled. When authentication is enabled on a network, SDCCH immediate assignment takes an
extensive amount of time. This increases the probability of handovers due to MS mobility and a high
interception risk over the Um interface.
6.1.5 Processing of Measurement Report

Either the Processing of Measurement Report feature or the Pre-processing of Measurement Report
feature must be enabled. The Processing of Measurement Report feature is recommended.
6.1.6 Pre-processing of Measurement Report

It is recommended that the Pre-processing of Measurement Report feature be used when the BSC load
is high.
6.1.7 Fast Move Handover

It is recommended that the Fast Move Handover feature be used in chain cells along high-speed
railways or expressways.
6.1.8 Chain Cell Handover

It is recommended that the Chain Cell Handover feature be used in chain cells along high-speed
railways or expressways.
6.1.9 BTS power lift for handover

It is recommended that the BTS power lift for handover feature be used in scenarios where the handover
success rate is low due to coverage problems.
6.1.10 Dynamic HR/FR Adaptation

It is recommended that the Dynamic HR/FR Adaptation feature be used in scenarios where traffic is
heavy and the proportion of half-rate services is high.

In the case of SDCCH/4 cell broadcast,
set this parameter to BCCH_CBCH. With
the same effect, the SDCCH/8 and
SDCCH/4 cell broadcast services serve
different network planning requirements.
The data configurations for half-rate
networking differ from the data
configurations for other networking.
In the case of half-rate networking, each
TRX maintains high RSL traffic.
Therefore, the LAPD signaling link
multiplexing ratio at the Abis interface is

Retry
GCELLBASIC 0607
PARA(Optiona
l)
Meaning: Whether to enable a directed

retry. The directed retry is to hand over
an MS to a neighboring cell in the same
procedure as the handover. The directed
retry is an emergency measure
applicable to abnormal traffic peaks in
some areas of a radio network. You
should not use the directed retry as a
major means of solving traffic
congestion. If the directed retry always
occurs in some areas of a network,
consider adjusting the sector and TRX
configuration and the network layout.

GBFD-11 HUAWEI I Meaning: Whether a cell is a repeater.
TEFLAG
Handover With simpler functions than a BTS, a
GCELLSOFT( 0601
Optional)
repeater is a coverage extension device
of a BTS. It is applied to widely-stretched
areas or indoor areas to solve the dead
zone problem of BTS coverage. Using
repeaters cannot increase the traffic
capacity of a network but improve the
coverage only. Because the BTS
coverage increases, however, the total
traffic improves accordingly.
The setting of this parameter has effects
on handovers. Repeaters use the
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) due
to a greater distance between them.
Therefore, handovers between repeaters
are asynchronous. Synchronous
handovers will fail.
