Indicates if the RNC supports Inter-Frequency Handover.
* Should be set to TRUE to enable IFHO.
For performing IFHO or IRAT HO for UEs that have drifted to
another RNC, the SRNC needs to know the handover type for cells
in the DRNC. This information is set in defaultHoType in the
WcdmaCarrier MO and is defined for each carrier that serves as a
DRNC. IFHO_PREFERRED = 0, GSM_PREFERRED = 1
NONE = 2 *Should be set to 0 to allow IFHO in the drift RNC.

This parameter indicates per cell if GSM HO, IFHO or none shall
be attempted: IFHO_PREFERRED = 0, GSM_PREFERRED = 1
NONE = 2 * Should be set to 0 to enable IFHO.
