prevents frequent triggering of event evaluation due to radio signal fluctuations. This reduces the probability of
ping-pong handovers or handover decision errors. A larger value of this parameter results in a lower

Meaning: Indicates the RSCP threshold for event B1, which is used in CS fallback to UTRAN. When CS
fallback to UTRAN is applicable, this parameter is set for UEs and used in the evaluation about whether to
trigger event B1. This parameter indicates the RSCP requirement for the UTRAN cells to be included in the
measurement report. A UE sends a measurement report related to event B1 to the eNodeB when the RSCP in
at least one UTRAN cell exceeds this threshold and other triggering conditions are met. For details, see 3GPP

Meaning: Indicates the quantity used to evaluate the triggering condition for the inter-RAT measurement
event A1 or A2. The values are RSRP, RSRQ and BOTH.
The measured RSRP values are stable, varying little with the load, and therefore there is little signal
fluctuation. The measured RSRQ values vary with the load and are likely to reflect the signal quality of the cell
in real time. By default, the reporting quantity for the inter-RAT handover event is BOTH, that is, both RSRP
and RSRQ.
