Configuration Today
Tigo Network has the command today: SET HOCOMM: COEXISTMEASTHDCHOICE=COEXIST_ MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ Suggested command: SET HOCOMM: COEXISTMEASTHDCHOICE=COEXIST_ MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERRAT
Huawei Confidential

SET HOCOMM: COEXISTMEASTHDCHOICE=COEXIST_MEAS_ THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ When both interfreq and interrat measurements cexist, which will be the choice to be measured ? This command tells us that whenever my interfreq HO doesnt occur for any reason, my second priority will be InterRAT, because my first option is InterFrequency.

In Rural Cluster phase we can observe a slight increase in IRAT HO, however we can see that it happens exactly at the point when InterFreq HO increase slightly.

Analysis
In Rural Cluster phase we can observe a slight increase in IRAT HO, however we can see that it happens exactly at the point when InterFreq increase slightly. The reason for this, is because my interfrequency Neighbor existed already for this clusters, however, my second carrier was blocked. Causing that when interfrequency HO was needed, it was sent automatically to InterRAT HO, because it did not occur.

In Urban phase we can observe a high increase in IRAT HO. Proving that when interfrequency neighbors for all urban areas existed, and second carrier was blocked my interfreq fail happens in grater ratio, so my interRAT will increase Huawei Confidential as well.

The reason for this is the same as rural, since my InterFreq neighbors existed, my IRAT HO increase because my second carrier for the whole Urban RNC is blocked, causing more IRAT HOs.

After deployment, we can observe that IRAT HO stabilize, and my interfrequency HO increase.

Analysis
After deployment, we can observe that IRAT HO stabilize, and my interfrequency HO increase.

Why does this happen? Since TGU RNC second carrier is deployed, and is never blocked, my IRAT HO seem to stabilize, this is because most of my interfrequency HOs are succesfull since my second carrier exists.

However, there is an increase in IRAT, that is stable now, why does this happen?

However, there is increase.

However, there is an increase in IRAT, that is stable now, why does this happen? Because the SET HOCOMM command is set to Interfrequency, and logically have more Interfrequency attempts than IRAT attempts, whenever all of this attempts are unsuccessful, they will be handed to IRAT, causing this te increase.
Huawei Confidential

Why set the new command?

When we set to priority InterRAT, We need to remember that IRAT HOs occur less than Interfrequency HOs. This will cause that whenever IRAT HOs is unsuccessful it will be handed to InterFrequency, causing less IRAT events.

Huawei Confidential

Conclusions
Whenever the Oriented Handover is set to InterFREQ, it will increase IRAT HOs because the have more InterFREQ HO events, consequently more Handovers will be handed from UMTS to GSM. If we set the Oriented Handover to INTERRAT, I will have less IRAT HOs since all unsuccessful IRAT will be handed to INTERFREQ cells.
