In addition the following minimum condition must be fulfilled for the UMTS neighbour cell: RXLEV_NCELL > RXLEVMIN + Max (0, Pa) with the definition Pa := (MS_TXPWR_MAX - P)

Abbreviations (1)
HOMARGIN(n): is a threshold which can be used to prevent handover oscillations between the serving GSM cell and neighbour cells (GSM or UMTS neighbour cell). MS_TXPWR_MAX(n): is the maximum RF TX power an MS/UE is permitted to use in the neighbour cell (GSM or UMTS neighbour cell). MS_TXPWR_MAX(s): is the maximum RF TX power an MS/UE is permitted to use on a traffic channel in the GSM serving cell. P: is the maximum TX power capability of the MS/UE PWR_C_D: is the difference between the maximum downlink RF power permitted in the GSM serving cell and the actual downlink power due to the BSS power control. RXLEV_DL: is the GSM serving cell received level (downlink) measured by the MS/UE.

Abbreviations (2)
RXLEVMIN(n): defines the minimum received level which is required to perform a handover to the neighbour cell (GSM or UMTS neighbour cell). RXLEV_NCELL(n): is the neighbour cell received level (GSM or UMTS neighbour cell) measured by the MS/UE. It contains the neighbour cell measurement quantity (received level for GSM cells; RSCP or Ec/No for UMTS FDD cells; RSCP for UMTS TDD cells).

Abbreviations (3)
UMTS_SUFFICIENT_RSCP(n) and UMTS_SUFFICIENT_Ec/No(n): these are new "sufficient" threshold parameters which are used for GSM to UMTS "Sufficient UMTS coverage" HO and not used for GSM to GSM handover. They define the "sufficient" threshold which is required to perform a handover to the neighbour UMTS cell.
