Overview
2.1
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.

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.

2.1.1
QoS-based Handover
IMSI-based Handover
SRNS Relocation
The soft and softer handovers are seamless handovers and no service will be
interrupted during handover.
Macro diversity gain: When a UE maintains radio links with several cells, the
receiver may enhance the accuracy of data receiving and link receiving quality and
lower the transmit power of all links by combining the signal receiving results of
several links.
The best cell where UE is registered may establish a radio connection with the UE
in time so as to lower the transmit power of UE.
In view of the above features, the soft and softer handovers will be taken in intrafrequency handover in general.
2.1.2
UE uses transmit diversity in active set cell in case of intra-frequency handover, but
the target cell does not support transmit diversity.
Intra-frequency measurement report excludes the OFF and TM of the target cell.
UE uses multi-user detection in the active set cell, but the target cell does not
support multi-user detection.
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
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:
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):
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.

2.1.13
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.
2.1.15
2.1.16
2.1.17
2.1.18
2.1.19
Handover to GSM should not be performed: RAB is handed over to GSM forcedly
when the UMTS is unable to carry it. RNC triggers Inter-RAT blind handover or
activates Inter-RAT measurement only when the quality of the UMTS is poor.
Handover to GSM shall not be performed: Service cannot be handed over to GSM.
For such a type of service, RNC neither activates the Inter-RAT measurement, nor
triggers the handover to GSM.
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 messages related to hard handover interact between SRNC and UE.
The messages related to hard handover interact between DRNC and UE.
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.

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.

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
The event-based report means the UE judges whether intra-frequency events are
met based on the quality measurement result of cell PCPICH.If so, it reports intra-
13
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
Measurement Setup
Configure intra-frequency measurement parameters for UE and initiate intra-frequency
measurement through measurement control setup message in the following cases:
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
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.

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

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.

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).

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

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.

Add links to the active set if the number of links in the DCH active set is less than
MaxNumOfAct. Do not handle Event 1A if the total number of links in the active set
reaches the maximum.
If a link to be added to the active set is rejected in Event 1A, the handover
punishment timer (5s) is initiated so that the Event 1A reported by this rejected cell
will not be handled until the timer times up.
If the cell reporting Event 1A is the target cell traced by the detected set, no link will
be added to the active set. For details, see Detected set Tracing.
If the measurement report contains several target cells, the cell with best quality
(Ec/N0) will be selected as the target cell to be added in the active set.
Handling of Event 1B
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
4.3.7
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.
23
Over 32 Adjacent Cells, then the RNC handles the cell in the detected set in the same
way as it does in the monitored set, that is, to make decision about handover.

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.

5.1
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.
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.

If a carrier frequency meets the reporting range or threshold of certain event, the

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:
5.1.2.2
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.
Measurement Modification
If the inter-frequency measurement is enabled, the inter-frequency measurement
modification is triggered in the following cases:
5.1.2.3
Measurement Deletion
When inter-frequency measurement setup conditions are no longer met, the interfrequency measurement will be deleted (released).
36
5.1.2.4
If the measurement report contains several target cells, preferentially select those
with good quality (RSCP) as target cells. If there is any inter-frequency adjacent cell
that has ShareCover(Overlap or Covers) relation with the target cell, perform interfrequency load balancing based on the cellss load . (For details, see ZTE UMTS
Load Balance Feature Description).
For PS users, hard handover tends to fail due to admission failure in the event of
heavy cell load because a majority of resources are occupied by PS services.So
the following strategies are required:
If current channel type is DCH and the channel assigned for target cell is also
DCH after handover, first make a handover attempt according to current rate. If
handover fails, then makes another handover attempt according to the GBR of
current service or minimum rate grade of DRBC (for details, see ZTE UMTS
DRBC Algorithm Feature Description), to improve the handover success rate.
37
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
(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 requestservice 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

value of RAB assignment requestservice handover is Handover to GSM should

If a cell is adjacent to several inter-frequency 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
the highest priority level prevails.
Sorting strategy
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

Load control
Uplink BLER
Moving speed of UE
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.

Upon detecting that all links already exist in a DRNC, the SRNC initiates the

SRNC connects with CS and PS domains, it needs to send the Relocation
Required message to CS and PS domains.
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.
48
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.

and switches the UE to the target cell of the GERAN system specified in the
measurement result.
7.1
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.

Setting up a measurement
The principles for setting up an Inter-RAT measurement (service-based Inter-RAT
handover) depend on the value of the service handover IE in the RAB assignment
request message.
52
ii
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
7.1.2.2
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.
Modifying a measurement
After Inter-RAT measurement is enabled, the measurement is changed in the following
cases:
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
7.1.2.4
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.

Priority combination
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.
7.5
7.6
When the load (transmitted carrier power (TCP) or received total wideband power
(RTWP)) of a cell is rather high,
If the current neighboring cell does not have any inter-frequency neighboring cell
with ShareCover (Overlap or Covers), but has inter-RAT neighboring cells with
GsmShareCover (Overlap or Covers), the RNC selects some users with lower
priority levels in the cell and switches them to the neighboring cells with
GsmShareCover (Overlap or Covers) blindly.
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.
7.7
59
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 UE actively initiates the PS service reselection. The UE selects a GPRS cell to
dwell through the cell reselection process, sets up a connection with the target cell,
and then initiates route area update. This case applies to an UE in CELL_FACH or

RANAP
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.

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-DSCHHS-DSCH handover can
be performed. Otherwise, the DCHDCH 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.
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.
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.
67
9.4
Inter-RAT Handover
Two strategies are available for handovers between HSDPA systems: UTRAN>GSM/GERAN strategy and GSM/GERAN -> UTRAN strategy.
10
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.
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-DCHE-DCH handover can be
performed. Otherwise, the DCHDCH 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 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.
69
10.3
HS-DSCH/E-DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH
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 HS-DSCH/E-DCH service cell change is made.Refer to 2.1.2 Intrafrequency Hard Handover for the scenario where the intra-frequency hard handover
is triggered.
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 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.
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
70
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 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.
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.
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.
HS-DSCH/DCH->HS-DSCH/E-DCH
The current service of UE includes HSPA and also theHS-DSCH/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/DCH transferring to HS-DSCH/E-DCH is made.

Intra-frequency Handover
1
The soft add strategy does not consider whether the soft add cell belongs to the
service area or whether it supports the MBMS in the case of 1A/1C soft add. That is,
the strategy is similar to that for the non-MBMS case.
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

To avoid ping-pong switchover between p-t-p and p-t-m, a time threshold (T1d) is

11.2
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.

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
