• The serving RNC bases its decisions on the serving HS-DSCH cell
change upon measurements from the UE and BTS

• Periodical DL CPICHEc/No measurement (UE measures and reports)


• Periodical UL SIRerror measurement (BTS)
• Measurement event 1B (UE)
• Serving HS-DSCH cell is deleted from the active set.
• Measurement event 1C (UE)
• Serving HS-DSCH cell is replaced with another cell.
• Serving HS-DSCH RL is removed from the active set
• RL failure of the serving HS-DSCH radio link (loss of UL synchronisation)
• RL removal due to Rx-Tx time difference (events 6F/6G)

Inter-RNC Mobility
• Most of the times the UE hands over among WBTS belonging to the same
RNC (Intra-RNC Handovers)
• However, what happens when the target WBTS is under a different RNC?
• 3GPP gives two different options to handle inter-RNC mobility in WCDMA

– Anchoring: the UE will be connected to the CN via the “old” RNC. It is


required Iur connection between the RNCs involved
– SRNS relocation: the UE will be connected to the CN via the “new” RNC.
It is the Nokia implemented method

SRNS relocation *) Anchoring
