UMTS Measurement Events and Description
e2f - The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is
above a certain threshold
e2d - The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is
below a certain threshold
e1a - A Primary CPICH enters the reporting range
e1e - A Primary CPICH becomes better than an absolute
threshold
e2b - The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is
below a certain threshold and
the estimated quality of a non-used frequency is above a
certain threshold
e3c - The estimated quality of other system is above a certain
threshold
e3a - The estimated quality of the currently used UTRAN
frequency is below a certain
threshold and the estimated quality of the other system is
above a certain threshold
Comments
In LTE this may be used to stop looking for a cell on a different frequency or
technology, as e2f is used in UMTS.
In LTE this may be used to start looking for a cell on a different frequency or
technology, as e2d is used in UMTS.
This comparison is a bit of a stretch. The reason I have equated them is
because in both cases a neighbor should be considered for a handover, either
soft or hard depending on the technology.
This comparison is good for saying that the current cell is below an absolute
threshold and the new cell is above a threshold. This would mean that the
current cell is not good enough and the new one is good, which is a good
reason to do a hard handover (in either technology).
