Overview
Function Introduction
The cell handover strategy is required in WCDMA to implement the mobility management of RRC connection due to the mobility of UE. It is also required to balance traffic among cells to lower traffic in heavily-loaded cell. The service connection must not be interrupted and QoS must be met during handover. In the process of handover: The handover in which a UE retains radio connection with the original cell while establishing radio connection in a new cell is referred to as soft handover. During soft handover, if the new and original cells are located under the same NodeB, this type of handover is referred to as softer handover. If UE needs to disconnect link with the original cell before setting up a link (synchronization) with the new cell(that is, new and original links do not co-exist in UE), this type of handover is referred to as hard handover.
A interruption will occur to UE transmitting and receiving at the time of hard handover. Therefore, the hard handover may affect the QoS.
The handover may also be further classified into intra-frequency handover, interfrequency handover and Inter-RAT handover based on different cell frequency features/access technologies before and after handover. A UE in a connection mode can only receive the service data of single frequency, but the soft handover/softer handover requires the UE to retain radio link with several cells concurrently, so soft/softer handover must be intra-frequency handover. But the handover between cells in the same frequency may not necessarily be soft/softer handover, and it may be hard handover. The inter-frequency/Inter-RAT handover is hard handover without fail because of the change of carrier frequency/frequency band. Generally a UE has only one set of receiver/transmitter, so the compressed mode is necessary for interfrequency/Inter-RAT measurement. The following table lists the correspondence between handover and compressed modes.
Table 1 Correspondence between handover and compressed modes
Soft handover Y N N
Hard handover Y Y Y
The handover generally involves three steps: measurement, handover decision and handover implementation. The measurement is the prerequisite for handover, the handover decision is the core of handover and the handover implementation is the process of implementing the handover decision. This document primarily centers on these three steps to illustrate the algorithm, and contains the following contents. .Soft Handover and Softer Handover Intra-Frequency Hard Handover Inter-Frequency Hard Handover Inter-RAT Mobility Inter-RNCwith IURHandover Inter-RNC Handover Without lur Interface Compressed Mode Adjacent Cell Priority Change of HS-DSCH Serving Cell Change of Serving Cell in E-DCH Active Set: Handover Based on Dedicated Downlink Transmit Power Handover Based on Dedicated Uplink Transmit Power (UE)

2.1.1
In view of the above features, the soft and softer handovers will be taken in intrafrequency handover in general.
2.1.2
Intra-frequency measurement report excludes the OFF and TM of the target cell. lur interface between RNCs is unavailable in the case of intra-frequency handover. UE uses multi-user detection in the active set cell, but the target cell does not support multi-user detection. Types of target and source cells are differentdefine R99,R5+R99, R6+R5+R99 belong to the same cell type and R5,R6+R5 belong to another cell type, for example, the UE hands over from a DCH-capable cell to an HSPA-capable cell.
2.1.3
Inter-frequency hard handover triggered by cell load: When the load of cell on current frequency is too heavy, the system switches partial services of this cell to an adjacent cell on another frequency. Inter-frequency hard handover triggered by moving speed of UE: It is mainly used on the HCS network. UEs with quick moving speed are carried in macro cells and those with slow moving speed in micro cells so as to realize appropriate traffic distribution in cells, make full use of system resources and enhance system performance. For non-double-receiver terminals in WCDMA, the compressed mode must be initiated for inter-frequency measurement. The initiation of compressed mode has some impact on the performance of both system and UE,.Therefore, compressed mode must be initiated only when necessary (for example, when the quality of current serving carrier frequency worsens).
2.1.4
Inter-RAT Mobility
Inter-RAT mobility refers to the mobility management conducted when a UE switches from one UMTS to another one. Here it only applies to the mobility management for UE to switch from UTRAN to GERAN (the mobility management from GERAN to UTRAN belongs to the strategy of GERAN). This function requires UE to support both WCDMA and GSM, Moreover, the GSM also needs to offer related functions to support Inter-RAT handover. The functions required by WCDMA are described below. WCDMA-to-GSM handover supports the following services: Conversational services Videophone service fallback to ordinary voice service. (3GPP R6) PS transferred to GPRS/GERAN
For WCDMA-to-GSM handover involving CS and PS RAB combination, the system first switches CS service to GERAN first, and then RNC releases the PS on lu interface upon receiving the context request message from CN.The UE activates the PS service on GERAN upon the release of CS service. In WCDMA: UTRAN-to-GERAN mobility of CS service in connected mode is implemented through CS service handover procedure UTRAN-to-GERAN mobility of PS service in CELL_DCH state is implemented through cell reselection procedure (PS service handover) triggered on the network side UTRAN-to-GERAN mobility of PS service in CELL_FACH /URA_PCH state is implemented through cell reselection procedure triggered by UE Load-based UTRAN-to-GERAN handover of PS service in CELL_FACH state is implemented through cell reselection procedure triggered on the network side Inter-system mobility in connected mode must be accompanied by inter-system relocation
The factors triggering Inter-RAT handover include radio quality and cell load. Inter-RAT handover triggered by radio quality: Initiate Inter-RAT measurement when quality of the frequency where the UE is currently located worsens and inter-frequency measurement initiation conditions cannot be met or the quality of other frequencys is also poor, and then handovers UE to the cell of GERAN based on Inter-RAT measurement results. The quality of frequency where UE is currently located is measured through the following four standards (For details, see Inter-RAT Handover Strategy):
PCPICH quality of cell in current serving carrier frequency. Uplink Block Error Rate (BLER) of the Dedicated CHannel (DCH). Uplink transmit power of DCH. Downlink transmit power of DCH.
Inter-RAT handover triggered by cell load: When the load of cell in current UTRAN system is too heavy, the system switches partial services of this cell to an adjacent cell in GERAN. For non-double-receiver terminals in WCDMA, the compressed mode must be initiated for Inter-RAT measurement. Initiation of compressed mode has some impact on the performance of both system and UE.Therefore, compressed mode must be initiated only when necessary (for example, when the quality of current serving carrier frequency worsens).
2.1.5
2.1.6
2.1.7
Compressed Mode
For non-double-receiver terminals in WCDMA, the compressed mode must be initiated for Inter-RAT/inter-frequency measurement. The use of compressed mode means some timeslots are specially used for inter-frequency/Inter-RAT measurement instead of data transmission during transmitting and receiving.
2.1.8
inter-frequency adjacent cells and Inter-RAT adjacent cells respectively. Therefore, more adjacent cells may be configured for UE in non-dedicated mode. Secondly, adjacent cells are set with different priorities (MeasPrio (utranRelation/ gsmRelation)) in RNC to facilitate RNC to adjust adjacent cell list when the number of adjacent cells in active set is over 32. The priority of each cell in the adjacent cell list is determined based on the network planning and optimization progress. The priority helps RNC select better monitored set for UE to facilitate the improvement of measurement and handover performance of UE.

QoS-based Handover
This feature enables the handover based on the uplink BLER and applies to the following scenario: The signal of pilot frequency is acceptable, but the uplink of UE is very unacceptable due to uplink interference or other reasons. In the event of failure of outer loop power control, the UE needs to be handed off to an inter-frequency or InterRAT adjacent cell as quick as possible to avoid call drop.
2.1.14
IMSI-based Handover
Configure the scope of authorized cells based on the IMSI information on the network side. The IMSI information is resolved through the CommonID on lu interface during service setup or handover, and UE is not allowed to access or handover to unauthorized cells.

2.1.17

2.1.19
SRNS Relocation
If inter-RNC handover occurs and radio link does not exist in SRNC, or hard handover occurs, the system determines the delay in performing SRNC relocation based on the timer configured in OMCR(set separately based on CS and PS services:
RtReDelayTimer, and NrtReDelayTimer). The DRNC changes its role into SRNC upon relocation, and assigns new RNTI to the UE through the UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION of radio interface. Therefore, the SRNS relocation can be categorized into relocation involving no UE (soft handover triggered) and relocation involving UE (hard handover triggered) based on UE relevance: The relocation involving no UE equals to the relocation triggered by soft handover. The interactive message (RELOCATION COMMIT) interacts through lur interface between SRNC and DRNC. SRNC sends SN and GTP of PDCP to DRNC through interactive message. There is no message interaction between SRNC and UE. Two types of messages (UTRAN Mobility Information/UTRAN Mobility Information Confirm) interact between DRNC and UE. The DRNC sends the PDCP SN received by the UE downlink.
The relocation involving UE equals to the relocation triggered by hard handover. The messages related to hard handover interact between SRNC and UE. The messages related to hard handover interact between DRNC and UE. There is no message interaction between SRNC and DRNC through lur interface.
When the CS and PS services coexist, the relocation is performed based on different domains. If handover conditions of either domain are met, different handovers will be performed in CS domain and PS domain respectly.

3.1
The higher layer scheduling is in nature a strategy in which the higher layer adjusts and controls the data transmission rate. Some timeslots in a radio frame can be specially assigned for inter-frequency/Inter-RAT measurement and some can be specially assigned for data transmission while the bandwidth remains unchanged. This strategy is generally used for non-realtime services with low requirements for delay, for example, I/B-type PS data services. After the compressed mode is initiated, the GAP used for transmitting/receiving (measurement) can be placed either within one radio frame or between two radio frames, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1
In the protocol, the Transmission Gap Length (TGL) can be set to 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 14 timeslots. The TG may start from any timeslot in a frame. When the TG spans two consecutive frames, each frame at least has 8 non-compressed timeslots. Figure 2 shows the parameters involved in compressed mode. The Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence (TGPS) consists of consecutive TG patterns (TG pattern 1). One or two TGs are defined in TG pattern. The start timeslot No. of the first TG is determined by parameter TGSN. The number of timeslots between starting timeslots of two TGs in the TG pattern is determined by the parameter TGD. The first TGL is determined by parameter TGL1, and the second by parameter TGL2. If parameter TGD is not defined, it means there is only one TG in TG pattern. Length of a TG pattern is determined by parameter TGPL1.

TGD TGPL1
It can be seen from above parameters: When TGSN is 4 (GSM) or 3 (FDD), TGL1=7, all GAPs of compressed mode on ZTE network fall under the same radio frame (one radio frame in FDD has 15 slots), that is, the single frame mode is uniformly adopted. Note: For a great majority of commercial terminals (Qualcomm-chip terminals) in current market, the compressed mode cannot be initiated when services are carried on EDCH.Moreover, the capability of whether UE should supports Initiate compressed mode for services carried on E-DCH is not specified in 3GPP. Therefore, when services are carried on E-DCH and compressed mode needs to be initiated, RNC first configure EDCH to DCH (the reconfigured target rate is min( max(DRBC lowest of rate grades, GBR), MaxBR)) (For DRBC rate grades, see ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description) before initiating the compressed mode. Figure 3 shows the procedure in which E-DCH falls back to DCH before the initiation of compressed mode.
Figure 3
(In 300i version, whether E-DCH falls back to DCH before initiation of compressed mode is controlled through the parameter HsupaCmAssoMode. If the parameter value is Serial, E-DCH needs to fall back to DCH before the initiation of compressed mode.If the parameter value is Parallel, the compressed mode is initiated directly. Detailed strategies and control parameters are provided in 300i version). For all commercial terminals in current market, the compressed mode can be initiated directly when services are carried on HS-DSCH.

4.1
Intra-Frequency Measurement
When conducting intra-frequency measurement, the UE needs to implement layer 3 filter for the measurement results to avoid measurement fluctuation and then make event decision and report by using filtered values. The layer 3 filter formula is as follows:
Fn = (1 a) Fn 1 + a M n
Where, Fn-1 refers to the result of last filter. Fn refers to the result of current measurement filter. Mn refers to current measurement result. a = 1/2(k/2) refers to the filter coefficient calculated based on the filter factor K (FilterCoeff (Intra)).
4.1.1

frequency events (including such information as event ID, and target cell) to the RNC. A series of intra-frequency measurement events are defined in 3GPP as the judgment and trigger criteria for intra-frequency handover. Event 1A: A Primary CPICH enters the Reporting Range. It can be used for adding cell to the active set. Event 1B: A Primary CPICH leaves the Reporting Range. It can be used for deleting cell from the active set. Event 1C: A Non-active Primary CPICH becomes better than an active Primary CPICH. It can be used for replacing the cell with bad quality in the active set. Event 1D: The best cell changes. It can be used for soft/softer handover, intra-frequency hard handover and inter-frequency load balance.
4.1.2
4.1.2.1
Set up intra-frequency measurement again after intra-system hard handover (including intra- or inter-frequency hard handover).
4.1.2.2
Measurement Modification
If the intra-frequency measurement is enabled, the intra-frequency measurement modification is triggered in the following cases: The change of adjacent cell list may trigger the modification of intra-frequency measurement so as to modify adjacent cell parameters after soft handover. After the best cell changes (Event 1D), the change of intra-frequency measurement parameters will trigger the modification of intra-frequency measurement to update handover parameters.
14
If a service is added or deleted, the change of intra-frequency measurement parameters will trigger the modification of intra-frequency measurement to update handover parameters.
4.1.2.3
Measurement Deletion
Upon receiving exceptional intra-frequency measurement report (for example, the measurement report belongs to non-existent measurement task), or making decision about the relocation triggered by soft handover, the RNC will voluntarily release corresponding intra-frequency measurement.

To facilitate parameter modification and optimization, the intra-frequency parameters are index-organized, with the index quotations listed as follows:
Figure 4
Before obtaining intra-frequency handover parameters, first find the Service TypeRelated Intra-frequency Measurement Parameter Index (TrfCatIntraMIdx), UTRAN Intra-frequency Radio Quality Measurement Quantity (IntraMeasQuan), and Soft Handover Algorithm Selection (SoftHoMth) from Utran Cell (utranCell) configuration items; then find the Intra-Frequency Measurement Configuration No. (IntraMeasCfgNo) from the UE Intra-frequence Measurement Relative to Traffic Category Configuration Information (CIntra) configuration items based on TrfCatIntraMIdx, "Traffic Category (TrfCategory)", Measurement Purpose (PrdMeasEcNo, EvtMeasEcNo, PrdMeasEcNo, and PrdMeasRSCP); finally, find corresponding handover measurement parameters from UE Intra-frequency Measurement Configuration (Intra) configuration items based on the Intra-Frequency Measurement Configuration No. (IntraMeasCfgNo). Note: Each IntraMeasCfgNo corresponds to one measurement purpose, indicated with the parameter IntraMeasCfgNote. The correspondence between other parameters that need to be filled in intrafrequency measurement control message and OMCR configuration is described as follows: Measurement report transmission mode CPICH Ec/No report indication of intra-frequency measurement cell CPICH RSCP report indication of intra-frequency measurement cell Path loss report indication of intra-frequency measurement (MeasRptTrMod) (EcN0RptInd) (RscpRptInd) (RscpRptInd)
16
Note: The parameters MeasQuantity(Intra) and RptCrt(Intra) are automatically filled by the system based on IntraMeasCfgNote. For cells of neighbor RNC if the value of Primary CPICH Power Configuration Tag(PcpichPwrPre(externalUtranCell))is TURE,then the cell info of intra-freq measurement should include the Primary CPICH Power for this cell. Otherwise the cell info of intra-freq measurement shall not include the Primary CPICH Power for this cell.

If a cell is adjacent to several cells in the active set, that is, the priority levels configured for this cell may vary, then combine the priority levels of this cell and taking the highest priority as the priority of the cell. Sorting strategy
If the total number of adjacent cells in the active set is 32, the system prioritizes them in descending order of priority and places the cells in excess of 32 in adjacent cell reserve list. The priority levels of adjacent cells in intra-frequency adjacent cell list will be updated whenever Event 1A/1B/1C/1D is triggered. If Event 1B is triggered and the number of adjacent cells is less than 32, the system selects cells from reserve list in descending order of priority and places them in the intra-frequency adjacent cell list. The number of cells that can be selected: min (32 Number of existing cells in intra-frequency adjacent cell list, Number of cells in reserve list).

The meanings of all parameters are described as follows: R1a: Refers to the reporting range of Event 1A. It is used to control the extent of difficulty in adding a cell into the active set (RptRange [MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]). H1a: Refers to the reporting hysteresis of Event 1A. It is used to control the extent of difficulty in adding a cell into the active set (Hysteresis[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT] (Intra)). MNew: Refers to measurement of the to-be-evaluated cell outside the active set. CIONew: Refers to offset of cell outside active set in relation to other cells (CellIndivOffset (utranRelation)). Mi: Refers to the mean measurement value of other cells except the best cell in active set. NA: Refers to the number of other cells except the best cell in active set. MBest: Refers to the measurement of the best cell in the active set.
19
W: Refers to the weight proportion (W[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]) of the best cell to the rest cells in the active set in evaluation standards. As can be calculated from the above formula, you can increase the probability of triggering Event 1A by either increasing R1a (Event 1A meets the reporting range conditions) or decreasing H1a (Decision hysteresis range.Otherwise, you can reduce the probability of triggering Event 1A. Event 1A supports period-based report, that is, once Event 1A meets the reporting range of quality standards, the UE will report Event 1A periodically (EvtRptInterval[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]) until this event does not meet reporting conditions or the reporting times reach the maximum allowed times (EvtRptAmount[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]). There is restriction on the number of radio links in active set, so Event 1A will not be reported once the number of cells in the active set reaches certain threshold (RptDeactThr[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]).
4.3.2
R1b: Refers to the reporting range of Event 1B. It is used to control the extent of difficulty in dropping a cell from the active set (RptRange [MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]). H1b Refers to the reporting hysteresis of Event 1B. It is used to control the extent of difficulty in dropping a cell from the active set (Hysteresis[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT] (Intra)). MOld: Refers to measurement of the to-be-evaluated cell in the active set. CIOOld: Refers to offset of cell in active set in relation to other cells (CellIndivOffset (utranCell)). Mi: Refers to the mean measurement value of other cells except the best cell in active set. NA: Refers to the number of other cells except the best cell in active set. MBest: Refers to the measurement of the best cell in the active set. W: Refers to the weight proportion (W[MAX_INTRA_MEAS_EVENT]) of the best cell to the rest cells in the active set in evaluation standards. As can be calculated from the above formula, you can decrease the probability of triggering Event 1B by either increasing R1b (Event 1B meets the reporting range conditions) or decreasing H1b (Decision hysteresis range). Otherwise, you can increase the probability of triggering Event 1B.

Handling of Event 1B Delete the link of related cell based on Event 1B reported by UE. If the measurement report contains several target cells, the cell with worst quality (Ec/N0) will be selected as the target cell to be deleted from the active set.
Handling of Event 1C Replace the cell if the radio links in active set are equal MaxNumOfAct . If a link to be added to the active set is rejected in Event 1C, the handover punishment timer is initiated so that the Event 1C reported by this rejected cell will not be handled until the timer times up.
Handling of Event 1D The cell triggering Event 1D is an intra-frequency adjacent cell outside the active set. If the DCH active set is full, turn to Event 1C handling. If the DCH active set is not full, turn to Event 1A handling. If the cell triggering Event 1D is within the active set, change the best cell in the active set.

If inter-frequency cells between RNCs are adjacent and lur interface is unavailable, the hard-handover-triggered SRNS relocation is performed. The procedure is as follows: The SRNC sets up radio link at DRNC through the lu interface relocation, and then reconfig UE to the cell of DRNC through relocation. Upon receiving the reconfigureation response message from the UE, the DRNC informs the CN to complete relocation and changes into SRNC. The CN then releases the resources of UE at the original SRNC through lu interface release command.

measurement, or blind handover based on ShareCover(Overlap or Covers). The measurement-based handover cannot trigger the blind handover based on shared coverage. The blind handover between cells with shared coverage can only be triggered by such functions as load control and load balance. The prerequisite for measurement-based inter-frequency handover is that UE performs quality measurement of non-used frequency. For inter-frequency measurement in CELL_DCH state, UE needs to initiate compressed mode unless it has double-receiver. The compressed mode has a great impact on both the resource utilization (for example, downlink power and uplink interference) and UE (for example, the transmit power and battery consumption), so inter-frequency measurement is only initiated when the radio quality of current serving carrier is poor, which can be evaluated through four measurement quantities: Uplink BLER, UE uplink transmit power, transmit power of downlink and inter-frequency measurement (quality measurement performed by UE for PCPICH). Upon receiving the inter-frequency measurement results from UE, the RNC makes a decision about inter-frequency handover, and hands over UE to the target frequency and cell carried in the measurement results. The blind handover based on ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) is controlled through the coverage indication (ShareCover) in the adjacent cell configuration relation. If the radio quality of a cell is good, then that of another cell with ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with this cell must also be good, that is, to forecast the radio quality of another cell with ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with a cell based on the radio quality of this cell. Whether ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation exists among cells is determined by the network planner based on cell coverage (Only cells with completely the same coverage can be called cells with shared coverage, and inter-frequency cells with shared coverage generally share a site and antenna feeder. If a cell completely contains the coverage of another cell, the relation between them is called Covers). The blind handover based on ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) is primarily used in load control, load balancing and handover based on moving speed. In the load balancing mechanism, if the load of the target cell for access or handover is too heavy, you can access or handover the service into another less loaded cell that has ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with the target cell. In the load control mechanism, if the load of current cell is too heavy, you can forcedly handover partial services into another less loaded cell that has ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with the target cell. In the handover based on moving speed, when the UE changes from low to high moving speed, you can directly handover the UE from micro cell into a macro cell that contains this micro cell.
5.1
Inter-Frequency Measurement
When conducting inter-frequency measurement, the UE needs to implement layer 3 filter for the measurement results to avoid measurement fluctuation and then make event decision and report by using filtered values. The layer 3 filter factor is FilterCoeff (Inter). For inter-frequency measurement formula, see Intra-frequency Measurement. Carrier evaluation standards for inter-frequency measurement:
32
5.1.1
Q NotBest Q Best + H 2a /2
Where, QNotBest: Refers to the measurement result of current non-best carrier frequency.
33
QBest : Refers to the measurement result of current best carrier frequency. : Refers to handover decision hysteresis H2a (Hysteresis[MAX_INTER_MEAS_EVENT] (Inter)) of Event 2A. parameter
Event 2B: The quality of working carrier frequency is lower than a threshold and that of non-working carrier frequency is higher than a threshold.
Q Used TUsed 2d H 2d /2
Where, QUsed: Refers to the measurement result of current working carrier frequency. Refers to the absolute threshold TUsed 2d: (ThreshUsedFreq[MAX_INTER_MEAS_EVENT]) of poor quality of working carrier frequency in Event 2D decision.
34
parameter
Event 2E: The quality of non-working carrier frequency is lower than a threshold.
Event 2F: The quality of working carrier frequency is higher than a threshold.
If a carrier frequency meets the reporting range or threshold of certain event, the condition must be met within a period of time (TrigTime(Iner)) before the reporting of this event to avoid inter-frequency event misreport due to the fluctuation of radio quality.
5.1.2
35
5.1.2.1
Measurement Setup
The inter-frequency measurement is only set up only when Inter-RAT measurement is not initiated, and it can be triggered in either of the following scenarios: (1)The radio quality of current serving carrier frequency deteriorates and there is interfrequency adjacent cell that has no ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation (judged through ShareCover) with current serving cell. (2)The UE meets the slow moving condition and there exists micro cell with higher HCS level in the coverage of current cell (based on moving speed). The Radio Quality Deterioration of Current Serving Carrier Frequency can be judged through any of the following four indexes: Uplink BLER: The uplink BLER value exceeds certain threshold (1.25%) and meantime the Sirtarget value (realtime measurement result) reaches the maximum configuration Sir (ULMaxSIR) in OMCR. The BLER is measured and judged by the RNC. Uplink transmit power of UE: The transmit power of UE exceeds certain threshold (100%, in relation to the maximum transmit power of UE). The uplink transmit power is measured by the UE and reported to the RNC through internal measurement report 6A/6B. Downlink transmit power: The downlink transmit power exceeds certain threshold (90%, in relation to MaxDlDpchPwr of services). The downlink transmit power is measured by NodeB and reported to the RNC through dedicated NodeB measurement report. The UE reports Event 2D.
5.1.2.2
Measurement Modification
If the inter-frequency measurement is enabled, the inter-frequency measurement modification is triggered in the following cases: If inter-frequency measurement parameters and adjacent cells change after soft handover, the changed parameters and adjacent cells must be updated through measurement modification. If handover parameters change when a service is added or deleted, the changed parameters must be updated through measurement modification.
5.1.2.3
Measurement Deletion
When inter-frequency measurement setup conditions are no longer met, the interfrequency measurement will be deleted (released).
36
Release inter-frequency measurement if there is no inter-frequency adjacent cell in active set after handover and inter-frequency measurement is initiated. Release inter-frequency measurement if there exists inter-frequency adjacent cell but it has a ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with a cell or an intra-frequency adjacent cell in current active set, and inter-frequency measurement is initiated. Release inter-frequency measurement if it is initiated but the radio quality of working carrier frequency changes better. The standards for judging The Radio Quality of Working Carrier Frequency Changes Better are described as follows: The UE does not report Event 2D or reports Event 2F, the uplink BLER does not exceed poor quality threshold (1.25%) or the BLER recovers below normal quality threshold (CS64K: 0.1%; other services: 1%), the UE transmit power does not exceed inter-frequency measurement initiation threshold (100%) or recovers below normal value (90%), and the downlink transmit power does not exceed interfrequency measurement initiation threshold (90%) or recovers below normal value (80%).
Release inter-frequency measurement after inter-frequency handover. Release inter-frequency measurement in the case of exceptions, for example, receiving exceptional inter-frequency measurement report (for example, the measurement report belongs to non-existent measurement task on the network side).

minimum rate grade of DRBC (for details, see ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description). If the channel type is DCH before handover and HS-DSCH/E-DCH or HSDSCH/DCH after, then access by HS-DSCH/E-DCH or HS-DSCH/DCH (for details, see ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description); if HS-DSCH/EDCH or HS-DSCH/DCH admission fails, the handover can also be implemented according to the minimum rate (GBR of service or minimum rate grade of DRBC) of DCH.
The same cell can only use one of Event 2A, Event 2B and Event 2C to trigger inter-frequency handover. Which of the three events will be used is based on the inter-frequency handover recommendation strategy parameter InterHoTactic. (2)Handling of Event 2D Attempt blind handover if there exists ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relationship in the inter-frequency adjacent cells. Initiate compressed mode and issue inter-frequency measurement 2A/2B/2C/2E if there exists no ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation in inter-frequency adjacent cells or blind handover fails. For initiation decision of compressed mode, see Compressed Mode Enabling/Disabling.
(3)Handling of Event 2E All non-working carrier frequencies report Event 2E, indicating that radio quality of all inter-frequency adjacent cells is poor and 3G system quality deteriorates. If there is any Inter-RAT adjacent cell that has ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with current serving cell, and the value of RAB assignment request service handover is Handover to GSM should not be performed (For values of service handover, see 2.1.7 Handover Strategy Based on Service Attribute), implement Inter-RAT blind handover. All non-working carrier frequencies report Event 2E, indicating that radio quality of all inter-frequency adjacent cells is poor and 3G system quality deteriorates. If the value of RAB assignment request service handover is Handover to GSM should not be performed (For values of service handover, see 2.1.7 Handover Strategy Based on Service Attribute), current serving cell has Inter-RAT adjacent cells without GsmShareCover(Overlap or Covers) or Inter-RAT blind handover fails, issue the Inter-RAT measurement Event 3A/3C.
(4)Handling of Event 2F The compressed mode and inter-frequency measurement disabling can be triggered. For details, see Compressed Mode Enabling/Disabling and InterFrequency Measurement Control Method Measurement Deletion.

Note: Each InterMeasCfgNo corresponds to one measurement purpose, indicated with the parameter InterMeasCfgNote. The correspondence between other parameters that need to be filled in interfrequency measurement control message and OMCR configuration is described as follows: Measurement report transmission mode Whether to report UTRA Carrier RSSI Whether to report carrier frequency quality evaluation value Cell synchronization information report indication of inter-frequency measurement Cell identity report indication of inter-frequency measurement Ec/No report indication of inter-frequency measurement cell CPICH RSCP report indication of inter-frequency measurement cell Path loss report indication of inter-frequency measurement cell Whether to read SFN indication of target cell (MeasRptTrMod) (UTRACarrierRSSI) (FreqQualEst) (CellSynRptInd) (CIdRptInd) (EcN0RptInd) (RscpRptInd) (RscpRptInd) (ReadSFNInd)

Note: The parameters MeasQuantity(Inter) and RptCrt(Inter) are automatically filled by the system based on InterMeasCfgNote. For cells of neighbor RNC if the value of Primary CPICH Power Configuration Tag(PcpichPwrPre(externalUtranCell))is TURE then the cell info of inter-freq measurement should include the Primary CPICH Power for this cell, otherwise the cell info of inter-freq measurement shall not include the Primary CPICH Power for this cell.

If the total number of inter-frequency adjacent cells in the active set is 32, the system prioritizes them in descending order of priority and places the cells in excess of 32 in inter-frequency adjacent cell reserve list. The priority levels of adjacent cells in inter-frequency adjacent cell list will be updated whenever Event 1A/1B/1C/1D is triggered. If Event 1B is triggered and the number of inter-frequency adjacent cells is less than 32, the system selects cells from reserve list in descending order of priority and places them in the inter-frequency adjacent cell list. The number of cells that can be selected: min (32 Number of existing cells in interfrequency adjacent cell list, Number of cells in reserve list).

When the value of DlPwrHoSwch is ON, the RNC judges the downlink code power (DTCP) mentioned in the dedicated measurement report sent by NodeB. When the DTCP value reaches certain threshold (90% of the maximum downlink transmit power MaxDlDpchPwr), it indicates that the downlink power is very high. In such a case, handover the UE to its inter-frequency adjacent cell that has ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with current cell, or initiate the inter-frequency measurement. The specific handling strategy is same to that of Event 2D. For details, see Event 2D handling in Handling of Inter-Frequency Events

(1)The number of best cell changes is 0. (2)The number of best cell changes is less than NSlow, and the time difference between the system time at the last best cell change and the current system time is larger than the time threshold Tslow. If the time used for Nfast times of best cell changes is less than the time threshold Tfast, the UE moving speed is considered fast (as shown in Figure 17).

The load control based handover aims to quickly reduce system loads and ensure system stability, and it has the top priority. The handovers based on downlink coverage
45
events, uplink transmit power, uplink BLER or downlink transmit power all aim to guarantee the call QoS and user experience, and they have lower priority. The moving speed based handover in the HSC is used to appropriately allocate traffic for different cells, make full use of system resources and enhance system performance. The moving speed based handover is a system optimization function and has the lowest priority. The handover with top priority will shield the handovers with comparatively lower priority. For example, if the load control based handover occurs in a cell, the RNC shall no longer hand over or access new services into the cell. In the case of a poor carrier quality, the RNC needs to handover the UE into the cell with good quality through radio quality measurement, without taking account of the moving speed of UE.
5.10
SRNS Relocation
SRNS relocation is mainly triggered by soft handover, hard handover,.The SRNS relocation procedure involves several NEs in the system, such as the UE, NodeB, RNC and CN. In the relocation preparation procedure initiated by the SRNC for traffic beared on HSDSCH, the RELOCATION REQUIRED message carries the configuration parameters of HSDPA that has IUR MAC-d FLOW, and then the subsequent procedure is identical with the relocation procedure triggered by soft handover. Figure 18 shows the overall procedure of SRNC relocation.

Procedure description: 1 Upon detecting that all links already exist in a DRNC, the SRNC initiates the relocation procedure and sends a Relocation Required message to the CN. If the SRNC connects with CS and PS domains, it needs to send the Relocation Required message to CS and PS domains. The CN sends a Relocation Request message to the DRNC, carrying RAB SETUP message. After the RAB of DRNC is established successfully, the DRNC sends Relocation Request Ack message to the CN. The CN sends Relocation Command message to the SRNC requiring the SRNC to start relocation. The SRNC sends Relocation Commit message to the DRNC through the lur interface. The DRNC sends Relocation Detect message to the CN and is converted into a new SRNC through role exchange. The new SRNC sends UTRAN Mobility Information message to UE to relocate URNTI. Upon relocating U-RNTI, the UE sends a UTRAN Mobility Information Confirm message to the new SRNC.

The new SRNC sends Relocation Complete message to inform the CN of the successful relocation.
10 Upon receiving the message from the new SRNC, CN sends Iu Release Command message to the original SRNC to release all the resources in the original SRNC. 11 Upon releasing the lu resource, original SRNC sends Iu Release Complete message to the CN. There may exist some exceptional procedures during relocation. Relocation failure caused by UTRAN Mobility Information message transmission failure The DRNC fails to initiate the UTRAN Mobility Information Configuration procedure due to procedure timeout or the UE failure in returning UTRAN mobility message. In such a case, the DRNC does not send a Relocation Complete message to the CN, and after the CN relocation timer times out, the CN initiates a Iu Release Command message to release the resources on the DRNC side.

The CN sends Relocation Command message to the SRNC requiring the SRNC to start relocation. The SRNC sends Physical Channel Reconfiguration message to the UE, requiring UE to perform hard handover. The DRNC initiates UE Detect message to imply that the DRNC already detects UE. Upon detecting the UE, the DRNC sends Relocation Detect message to CN, and then DRNC is converted into a new SRNC through role exchange. The UE returns Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete message to inform the new SRNC of successful hard handover. Upon receiving the message, the new SRNC sends Relocation Complete message to CN. Upon receiving the message from the new SRNC, the CN sends Iu Release Command message to the original SRNC to release all the resources in the original SRNC.
10 Upon releasing the lu resource, the original SRNC sends Iu Release Complete message to the CN. There may exist some exceptional procedures during relocation. Relocation failure caused by radio bearer (RB) reconfiguration failure Upon receiving the RB reconfiguration failure message, the SRNC will send a relocation cancellation message to the CN and the CN release the resources on the DRNC side through the lu release procedure.

and switches the UE to the target cell of the GERAN system specified in the measurement result.

Inter-RAT Measurement
To avoid measurement fluctuation, the UE must perform layer 3 filter on the measurement result, and then use the filtered value for event decision and reporting. The FilterCoeff (Rat) is used as the layer 3 filter factor for intra-system measurement, and the GsmFilterCoef is used for GSM system measurement. The principles are the same as the formula for co-frequency measurement.
7.1.1
RAT
RAT
+ H3a /2
51
QUsed indicates the estimated quality of the used frequency of the UTRAN. TUsed indicates the absolute threshold (Thresh[MAX_RAT_MEAS_EVENT]) of the currently used frequency difference. H3a is the hysteresis parameter (Hysteresis[MAX_RAT_MEAS_EVENT] (Rat)) for 3A event decision. MOther RAT is the quality measurement result of other systems. CIOOther RAT is the quality offset of other system cells (CellIndivOffset(gsmRelation). is the absolute TOther RAT (ThreshSys[MAX_RAT_MEAS_EVENT]).l threshold of other systems

H3c is the hysteresis parameter (Hysteresis[MAX_RAT_MEAS_EVENT] (Rat)) for 3C event decision. During Inter-RAT event decision, the carrier must keep meeting the reporting scope or threshold of an event for a certain period of time (TrigTime[MAX_RAT_MEAS_EVENT] (Rat)) before it can be reported as this event. In this way, improper reporting of InterRAT events resulted from carrier quality fluctuation can be avoided.

RAT measurement immediately. (Note: For simplification, the startup policy of service-based Inter-RAT measurement is not checked in the following scenarios: i ii Soft handover succeeds. Incoming compressed mode relocation of soft handover is enabled.)
When the value of the service handover IE is Handover to GSM should not be performed, it indicates that the RAB can switch to the GSM only when it exceeds the bearing capability of the UMTS. For such a service, the RNC enables Inter-RAT measurement only when the quality of the UMTS system is poor. The specific scenarios are as follows: The current working carrier is in poor quality (the measurement method is described in ), but the conditions for enabling inter-frequency measurement (that is, the interfrequency neighboring cell is not configured) or for inter-frequency blind handover are not met. In this case, if Inter-RAT measurement is not enabled or the conditions for Inter-RAT blind handover are met but blind handover fails, Inter-RAT measurement is set up. iii Inter-frequency measurement is enabled, and all non-working carriers trigger 2E events. In this case, if the conditions for Inter-RAT blind handover are not met and Inter-RAT neighboring cells exist, or the conditions for Inter-RAT blind handover are met, but blind handover fails, inter-frequency measurement is disabled, and Inter-RAT measurement is set up.
When the value of the service handover IE is Handover to GSM shall not be performed, it indicates that the service cannot be switched to the GSM. For such a service, the RNC does not enable Inter-RAT measurement or trigger the handover to GSM. For the service handover attribute of concurrent services, the highest service handover value of BasicPrio is used. When a concurrent service is added or deleted, the RNC needs to determine the service handover attribute and thus decides to adopt the measurement policy and handover policy between 2G systems.
7.1.2.2
Modifying a measurement
After Inter-RAT measurement is enabled, the measurement is changed in the following cases: After soft handover, if Inter-RAT measurement parameters and Inter-RAT neighboring cells are changed, the Inter-RAT measurement parameters and InterRAT neighboring cell list are updated by means of measurement modification. When a service is added or deleted, if the handover parameters for a single service or concurrent services are different, Inter-RAT measurement parameters must be updated by means of measurement and modification.
53
7.1.2.3
Deleting a measurement
Before hard handover, Inter-RAT measurement is enabled. Terminate the Inter-RAT measurement. After soft handover, Inter-RAT measurement is terminated in any of the following cases: The cell in an active set does not have Inter-RAT neighboring cell. Inter-RAT neighboring cells are neighboring cells with GsmShareCover(Overlap or Covers) The Inter-RAT neighboring cells and the intra-frequency neighboring cells of the cells in the current active set are neighboring cells with GsmShareCover(Overlap or Covers) When the service handover value of the service is Handover to GSM should not be performed, and the quality of the working carries turns for better (the measurement method is the same as that described in ), the compressed mode is closed, and Inter-RAT measurement is terminated. In the case of exceptions, such as the exceptional report of the Inter-RAT measurement task (for example, an unavailable measurement task is received from the network side), the corresponding Inter-RAT measurement is released.
7.1.2.4
perform Inter-RAT handover. During Inter-RAT handover, the same cell can be triggered by any of the 3A, and 3C events. The recommended policy parameter for Inter-RAT handover, namely, RatHoTactic, controls the specific event that is used as the basis for Inter-RAT handover decision.
7.1.2.5

Measurement parameters are based on cells. Therefore, in the case of macro diversity, the measurement parameters configured for the best cell are used as handover parameters. If the best cell changes, the measurement parameters must be updated. Setting of multiple sets of handover parameters Inter-RAT handover parameters can be configured separately according to the measured quantity, measurement reporting mode, and service bearer type. In this way, multiple sets of measurement parameters are required for different purposes. The classification is as follows: Measured quantity of the UTRAN NonIntraMeasQuan ( PCPICH RSCP or Ec/N0)
Measurement reporting mode IntRatHoMth (Event report or periodically report Only Event report can be supported currently. So the following parameters for periodically report is not used currently: PrdMeasEcNo(RAT), PrdMeasRSCP(RAT), PrdRptAmount(RAT), PrdRptInterval(RAT) ) (TrfCategory(Rat))
Single RT RAB Including Voice on DL DCH/UL DCH Single RT RAB Excluding Voice on DL DCH/UL DCH Single NRT on DL DCH/UL DCH Single RAB on DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH Single RAB on DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH All Multi-RAB on DL DCH/UL DCH Multi-RAB, HSPA is Involved and only DCHs are Used in UL Multi-RAB, HSPA is Involved and E-DCH is Used in UL Not Related to Service Type (used for detect set measurement)
For ease of parameter modification and optimization, Inter-RAT handover parameters are arranged by indexes. The index relation is as follows:
55
The procedure for obtaining an Inter-RAT handover parameter is as follows: 1) Obtain the TrfCatRatMIdx parameter from Utran Cell (utranCell). 2) Find the InterRatCfgNo parameter in UE Inter-Rat Measurement Relative to Traffic Category (CRat) based on TrfCatRatMIdx, TrfCategory, and EvtMeasRSCP or EvtMeasEcNo. 3) Find the corresponding handover measurement parameter in UE Inter-Rat Measurement Configuration Information(Rat) based on InterRatCfgNo. Note: Each InterRatCfgNo corresponds to an EvtMeasRSCP or EvtMeasEcNo, indicated by InterRatCfgNote. The relations between the other parameters to be entered in the Inter-RAT measurement control message and the OMCR parameters are as follows: Measurement report transmission mode GSM BSIC acknowledgement indication for Inter-RAT measurement UTRAN quality estimation reporting indication GSM cell RSSI reporting indication Measured quantity for UTRAN quality estimation in Inter-RAT measurement (OwnMeasQuantity) (MeasRptTrMod) (BSICVeriReq) (UtranEstQual) (GsmCarrRSSIInd) (OwnMeasQuantity) (RptCrt(Rat)
Note: OwnMeasQuantity and RptCrt(Rat) are automatically entered based on InterRatCfgNote, and manual operations are not needed. The values of these parameters are for maintenance personnels reference.

If a cell is a common neighboring cell of multiple cells in the active set, it may be configured with different priority levels in different cells. In this case, the multiple priority levels of this cell must be combined, using the highest priority level as the priority of this cell. Neighboring cell list update and deletion in the case of more than 32 neighboring cells
57
If the Inter-RAT neighboring cell list of an active list contains more than 32 cells, the cells are sorted in descending order based on priority. The first 32 cells remain unchanged, and all other cells are put into the reserved Inter-RAT neighboring cell list. Each time when the 1A, 1B, 1C, or 1D event is triggered, the priority levels of the neighboring cells in the Inter-RAT neighboring cell list are updated. If there are less than 32 cells in the Inter-RAT neighboring cell list after the 1B event is triggered, the cells with the highest priority in the reserved Inter-RAT neighboring cell list are put into the Inter-RAT neighboring cell list. The number of the cells from the reserved Inter-RAT neighboring cell list equals: min(32 number of existing cells in the Inter-RAT neighboring cell list).

namely, 100% of the maximum transmit power of the UE) or 6B (the uplink power of the UE is lower than the absolute threshold, namely, 90% of the maximum transmit power of the UE) measurement event when the initial service is set up. When the transmit power of the UE meets the event threshold, the UE reports the corresponding event. After receiving a 6A event, the RNC performs processing according to the same process as that for Inter-RAT handover based on downlink coverage.

In this way, the system load can be reduced quickly and the system reliability can be guaranteed. For details about the inter-system handover based on load, refer to the ZTE UMTS Load Balance Feature Description.

As described above, the causes of Inter-RAT handover include the following:
59
Handover based on load control Based on downlink coverage/quality event Based on uplink transmit power Based on uplink BLER Based on downlink transmit power
Handover based on load control aims to reduce the system load quickly to ensure the system stability. Therefore, handover based on load control has the highest priority. The handover triggered by radio quality causes such as downlink coverage event, uplink transmit power, uplink BLER, ad downlink transmit power aims to ensure the QoS and impressibility of users. The handover of this kind has second highest priority. The handover of higher priority filters the handover of lower priority, for example, a cell handed over based on load control cannot access new services.

The RNC actively initiates PS service reselection. The RNC decides to switch the UE to another RAT cell according to handover decision results. This case applies to an UE in CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH state. The RNC sends a handover command CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN to the UE. After receiving the command, the UE sets up a connection with the target cell, and then initiates route area update.
Note: Both processes are applicable to an UE in CELL_FACH state. The specific policy is as follows: The process of PS service reselection actively initiated by the UE is used for the 3G to 2G PS service handover based on radio quality. The process of PS service reselection actively initiated by the RNC is used for the 3G to 2G PS service handover based on load.
IMSI-based handover
The IMSI-based handover can limit the range of cells for allowed for handover according to IMSI of UE with the following principle: While the measurement control message is not delivered before CommonID message is received in the signaling stage, RNC does not yet know the cells authorized to the user. Therefore RNC delivers the measurement control message regardless of the authorization status of the cells.
62
While delivering measurement control message after receiving CommonID message, RNC queries whether the cells are authorized according to the IMSI information carried in the CommonID message of lu interface and also the authorization information configured in the network side. Only the authorized neighbor cells will be included in the neighbor cell list of measurement control message. In the process of RAB assignment of service, a decision of whether the current service cell is authorized is made according to the IMSI information carried in the CommonID message and the authorization information configured in the network side. If none of the cells in the active set is authorized If the best cells in the active set are like the coverage neighbor cells (ShareCover) and are also authorized cells, then the inter-frequency handover is performed along with service establishment Otherwise, If the best cells in the active set are like the coverage GSM neighbor cells (GsmShareCover) and are authorized cells, and also the current service is AMR, then Inter-RAT directional retry is performed Otherwise, return, treated as assignment failure Otherwise, establish service normally. If some of the cells in the active set are unauthorized cells, delete the unauthorized cells from the active set through the active set update flow.

Overview
The cells are classified in three types according to the support capability of HSDPA (HspaSptMeth) after HSDPA is introduced: (1) support HSDPA and DCH; (2) do not support HSUPA or HSDPA; (3) support HSDPA only. The services are classified in two types: HSDPA service and NHSDPA service. The HSDPA handover is similar to R99 handover in terms of measurement and handover decision, except that the decisions of cell capacity during a handover and the service type are added. For the HSDPA service, the handover is accepted through HS-DSCH to the cells that support HSDPA and DCH and cells that support HSDPA only as much as possible. If the HS-DSCH fails, accept the handover to the cells that support HSDPA and DCH and cells that do not support HSUPA or HSDPA through DCH. For the NHSDPA service, the handover can only be accepted through DCH to the cells that support HSDPA and DCH and cells that do not support HSUPA or HSDPA. After HSDPA is introduced, the inter-RNC handover also depends on the capability of office direction RNC to support HSDPA (RncFeatSwitch) because neighbor cells feature varying support capabilities (HspaSptMeth). That is, only if both the target cell and target RNC (office direction RNC) support HSDPA, the HS-DSCH HS-DSCH handover can be performed. Otherwise, the DCH DCH handover flow cannot be originated until HSDSCH falls back to DCH. The channel transfer is performed along with handover.
65
Different channel transfer situations are described in the following based on different handover types.
9.2
Intra-frequency Handover
The intra-frequency handover of HDSPA includes soft add/soft drop/soft replacement of HS-DSCH associated channel, HS-DSCH service cell change, channel type change due to different capabilities between source cell and target cell during the handover process. The strategy of soft add/soft drop/soft replacement of HS-DSCH associated channel is described in strategy of intra-frequency handover. The HS-DSCH service cell change and channel type change are special handover strategies that make HSDPA different from the R99 (DCH) handover. The specific principles are: 1 HS-DSCH->DCH If the HS-DSCH is used before the handover and the link to be deleted for 1B event triggering/radio link failure happens to be the service cell of HS-DSCH, and also the cells in the active set do not support acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH transferring to DCH is made. If the HS-DSCH is used before the handover and the 1C event is triggered, the cell to be replaced is the HS-DSCH service cell and also the cells in the new active set do not support acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH transferring to DCH is made. If the HS-DSCH is used before the handover and the 1D event triggers intrafrequency hard handover and the target cell does not support acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH transferring to DCH is made. DCH->HS-DSCH The current service of UE includes HSDPA and also the DCH is used before the handover. If the 1D event triggers intra-frequency hard handover and the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with DCH transferring to HS-DSCH is made. The current service of UE includes HSDPA, the DCH is used before the handover and also the best cell in the active set supports HSDPA. If the downlink traffic increases to trigger the 4A event (refer to ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description for details), a decision of handover from DCH to HS-DSCH is made. HS->DSCH->HS-DSCH If the HS-DSCH is used before the handover and the 1D event triggers intrafrequency hard handover and the target cell supports acceptance through HSDSCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH service cell change is made.
66
If the HS-DSCH is used before the handover and the link to be deleted for 1B event triggering/radio link failure happens to be the service cell of HS-DSCH, and also there are cells in the active set that support acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH change is made. If the 1C/1D event triggers soft handover, the cell to be replaced is the HS-DSCH service cell and also the cells in the new active set support acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH change is made.
In the above described processes, the 1D event may trigger ping-pong handover that leads to frequent change of service cell. To avoid this, a time threshold (T1d) is configured and changes of service cell should occur at an interval longer than this threshold.
9.3
Inter-frequency Handover
The conditions for triggering the inter-frequency handover of HDSPA are described in inter-frequency handover strategy. The HS-DSCH service cell change or channel type change always happens in the handover process. The principles are as follow: 1 HS-DSCH->DCH The current service of UE includes HSDPA and also the HS-DSCH is used before the handover. If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell does not support acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH transferring to DCH is made. 2 DCH->HS-DSCH The current service of UE includes HSDPA and also the DCH is used before the handover. If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with DCH transferring to HS-DSCH is made. 3 HS-DSCH->HS-DSCH The current service of UE includes HSDPA and also the HS-DSCH is used before the handover. If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH service cell change is made. 4 Handover of HS-DSCH between Iur interfaces For the hard handover of HS-DSCH between Iur interfaces, the handover strategy is the same as the handover inside the RNC if the target cell supports HS-DSCH. But if the target cell does not support HS-DSCH, the HS-DSCH/DCH should fall back to DCH/DCH first, and then the hard handover between lur interfaces and redirection flow can be performed.
67
9.4
Inter-RAT Handover
Two strategies are available for handovers between HSDPA systems: UTRAN>GSM/GERAN strategy and GSM/GERAN -> UTRAN strategy. 1 UTRAN->GSM/GERAN The HSDPA service is included. The channel transfers to DCH/DCH first, and then the same handover flow as that for between R99 systems is performed. GSM/GERAN -> UTRAN The strategy is similar to that when a service accesses the system for the first time. If both service and target cell support HS-DSCH/DCH, the service is established directly on HS-DSCH/DCH, otherwise try DCH/DCH.

10.1
Overview
HSUPA is developed on the basis of HSDPA. An HSUPA network element (UE, RNC or NodeB) that supports HSUPA will also supports HSDPA. That is, if E-DCH is adopted in uplink, HS-DSCH is adopted in downlink without doubt. Therefore, HSUPA supports five types of cells (HspaSptMeth): (1) cells that support HSUPA and HSDPA; (2) cells that support HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH; (3) cells that support HSDPA and DCH; (4) cells that support HSDPA only; (5) cells that do not support HSUPA or HSDPA. For the cells that support HSUPA and HSDPA, the E-DCH is used in uplink and the HS-DSCH is used in downlink. The DPCH is used as associated channel. For the cells that support HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH, the E-DCH or DCH is used in uplink and the HS-DSCH or DCH is used in downlink. The DPCH is used as associated channel or allocated to users who do not use HSUPA or HSDPA. The service types supported by HSUPA are HSPA services if they can be carried by HSUPA or HSDPA (HSUPA and HSDPA are equivalent as far as the services are concerned). Otherwise they are NHSPA services. The HSPA services should be accepted first through E-DCH and HS-DSCH in cells that support HSUPA and HSDPA, cells that support HSDPA only, cells that support HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH and cells that support HSDPA and DCH (HspaSptMeth). If E-DCH and HS-DSCH fail to accept the services, the HSPA services should be accepted through DCH in cells that support HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH, cells that support HSDPA and DCH or cells that do not support HSUPA or HSDPA. The NHSPA services can only be accepted through DCH in cells that support HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH, cells that support HSDPA and DCH or cells that do not support HSUPA or HSDPA.
68
The maximum number of cells allowed in the E-DCH active set in the process of HSUPA soft handover is controlled by the parameter MaxNumOfEdchAct. After HSUPA is introduced, the inter-RNC handover also depends on the capability of office direction RNC to support HSUPA (RncFeatSwitch) because neighbor cells feature varying support capabilities (HspaSptMeth). That is, only if both the target cell and target RNC (office direction RNC) support HSUPA, the E-DCH E-DCH handover can be performed. Otherwise, the DCH DCH handover flow cannot be originated until E-DCH falls back to DCH. The channel transfer is performed along with handover. Different channel transfer situations are described in the following based on different handover types.
10.2
Intra-frequency Handover
The intra-frequency handover of HDUPA includes soft add/soft drop/soft replacement of E-DCH associated channel, E-DCH service cell change, channel type change due to different capabilities between source cell and target cell during the handover process. The strategy of soft add/soft drop/soft replacement of E-DCH associated channel is described in strategy of intra-frequency handover. The E-DCH service cell change and channel type change are special handover strategies that make HSUPA different from the R99 (DCH) handover. The specific principles are: 1 HS-DSCH/E-DCH->DCH/DCH If the link to be deleted for 1B event triggering/radio link failure happens to be the service cell of HS-DSCH/E-DCH, and also the cells in the active set do not support acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH or HS-DSCH/DCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to DCH/DCH is made. If the 1C event is triggered, the cell to be replaced is the HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell and also the cells in the new active set do not support acceptance through HSDSCH/E-DCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to DCH/DCH is made. If the 1D event is triggered, the best cell changes from HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell to a cell that does not support HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to DCH/DCH is made. DCH/DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH The current service of UE includes HSPA and also the DCH/DCH is used before the handover. If the 1D event triggers intra-frequency hard handover and the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with DCH/DCH transferring to HS-DSCH/E-DCH is made. The current service of UE includes and also the best cell in the active traffic increases to trigger the 4A Feature Description for details), a DSCH/E-DCH is made.

If the link to be deleted for 1B event triggering/radio link failure happens to be the service cell of HS-DSCH/E-DCH, and also there are cells in the active set that support acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell change is made. If the 1C/1D event triggers soft handover, the cell to be replaced is the HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell and also the cells in the new active set support acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH change is made. HS-DSCH/E-DCH->HS-DSCH/DCH If the link to be deleted for 1B event triggering/radio link failure happens to be the service cell of HS-DSCH/E-DCH, and also the cells in the active set supports HSDSCH/DCH instead of HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to HS-DSCH/DCH is made. If the 1C event is triggered, the cell to be replaced is the HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell and also the cells in the new active set supports HS-DSCH/DCH instead of HSDSCH/E-DCH, a decision of soft handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to HS-DSCH/DCH is made. If the 1D event is triggered, the best cell changes from HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell to a cell that supports HS-DSCH/DCH instead of HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to HS-DSCH/DCH is made. HS-DSCH/DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH The current service of UE includes HSPA service and also the HS-DSCH/DCH is used before the handover. If the 1D event is triggered, the best cell changes from HS-DSCH/DCH service cell to a cell that supports HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of intra-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH/DCH transferring to HSDSCH/E-DCH is made.
10.3
Inter-frequency Handover
The conditions for triggering the inter-frequency handover of HDSPA are described in inter-frequency handover strategy. The HS-DSCH service cell change or channel type change always happens in the handover process. The principles are as follow: 1 HS-DSCH/E-DCH->DCH/DCH

If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell does not support acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH or HS-DSCH/DCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to DCH/DCH is made. 2 DCH/DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH The current service of UE includes HSPA and also the DCH/DCH is used before the handover. If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with DCH/DCH transferring to HS-DSCH/E-DCH is made. 3 HS-DSCH/E-DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH The current service of UE includes HSPA and also the HS-DSCH/E-DCH is used before the handover. If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell change is made. 4 HS-DSCH/E-DCH->HS-DSCH/DCH The current service of UE includes HSPA and also the HS-DSCH/E-DCH is used before the handover. If the original decision is to trigger an inter-frequency handover (measurement-based or blind handover) and also the target cell supports acceptance through HS-DSCH/DCH instead of HS-DSCH/E-DCH, a decision of inter-frequency hard handover together with HS-DSCH/E-DCH transferring to HSDSCH/DCH is made. 5 HS-DSCH/DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH The current service of UE includes HSPA and also theHS-DSCH/DCH is used before the handover.

That is, the strategy is similar to that for the non-MBMS case. 1B/1C or the link is deleted due to radio link failure: For the MBMS service has set up p-t-p bearer but the link is deleted, if the best cell does not belong to MBMS service area, the best cell does not support the MBMS service, the best cell has set up the p-t-m bearer, or the best cell is not the convergence carrier of the service, then p-t-p RB is released. For the MBMS service has not set up p-t-p bearer but the MBMS service connection already exists, the best cell belongs to MBMS service area, the best cell supports the MBMS service, the bearer type strategy needs to set up the p-t-m bearer and the carrier can set up the bearer of the service, then p-t-p RB is set up. The principle of the type change in the bearer of the MBMS service in the active set under the macro diversity.
Table of Principle Cell Type Best cell Non best cell Best cell Non best cell No change Set up p-t-p: If the channel of the service is DCH, then set up p-t-p for all cells in the active set; if the channel of the service is HS-DSCH, then set up p-t-p in the best cell. No change Principles of Change Delete the p-t-p

Inter-frequency Handover
When UE reports MBMS MODIFIED REQUEST and the information of MBMS preferred frequency request is carried, 1 If the target carrier comes with a cell with the same coverage (included: the expected frequency layer cell includes the current working frequency cell) and the cell belongs to the service area and supports the MBMS, and also the target cell is able to allocate the resource of currently established dedicated bearer, then the cell with the same coverage at the frequency layer can be taken as the target cell to perform the hard handover. If the target carrier does not come with a cell with the same coverage (included), the neighbor cell of the current cell in the UEs active set includes the neighbor cell (neighboring or being included) that is at the MBMS preferred frequency layer corresponding to the MBMS service expected to be received and the neighbor cell belongs to the service area and supports MBMS, then inter-frequency measurement 2A/2B/2C is started for UE. When the 2A/2B/2C event reported by UE is received, the cells that do not support MBMS are screened out and a proper cell is taken for the hard handover.
No treatment is performed if UE does not carry the information of MBMS preferred frequency request in the MBMS MODIFIED REQUEST.

Description
For HSPA, this parameter indicates the minimum interval between two HSPA serving cell changes or channel, which helps to avoid too frequent HSPA serving cell changes and channel transition. For MBMS, this parameter indicates the minimum interval between two best cell changes due to event 1d which helps to avoid too frequent change between PTP and PTM bearer types.
Interface Path: View->Configuration Management->RNC NE->RNC Radio Resource Management-> Modify Advanced Parameter->Hspa Configuration Information-> Timer for Event 1D in HSPA or MBMS Parameter Configuration
For HSPA, this parameter indicates the minimum interval required for the change of the HSPA serving cell or the transition between the HS and DCH channels. A large value of this parameter helps to avoid too frequent HSPA serving cell change and channel transition.

Support MBMS Indicator
Parameter Description Support MBMS Indicator MbmsSuptInd This parameter indicates whether MBMS is supported in the cell. 0: Not Support 1: Support MBMS and not MBMS 2: Only Support MBMS Unit Default Value (note) OMC Path N/A 0: Not Support
Interface Path: View->Configuration Management->RNC NE->RNC Radio Resource Management->Utran Cell->Utran Cell XXX->Cell Ability and Cell Reselection->MBMS Support Indicator Parameter Configuration
This parameter indicates whether to support the MBMS. When the parameter is set to 0 (Not Support), the cell does not support the MBMS service. When the parameter is set to 1 (Support MBMS and not MBMS), the cell supports both the MBMS service and the mixed R99, R5, and R6 service. In this case, the cell can either use a separate carrier frequency for establishing the co-coverage relationship or HSC structure with other cells, or use the same carrier frequency as the neighbouring cell. When the parameter is set to 2 (Only Support MBMS), the cell supports only the MBMS service. In this case, non-S-CCPCHs can neither be allocated separately for users nor exist as the DCH channel of the concurrent service. The purpose of such a cell is to share the load of the MBMS service.

Interface Path: View->Configuration Management->RNC NE->RNC Radio Resource Management-> Modify Advanced Parameter->Hspa Configuration Information-> Timer for Event 1D in HSPA or MBMS Parameter Configuration
For HSPA, this parameter indicates the minimum interval required for the change of the HSPA serving cell or the transition between the HS and DCH channels. A large value of this parameter helps to avoid too frequent HSPA serving cell change and channel transition. For MBMS, this parameter indicates the minimum interval required for changing the best cell of the MBMS service for two times caused by event 1d. This parameter helps to avoid too frequent change between the PTP and PTM bearer types.
