remove neighbor relationships based on E-UTRAN frequency priorities and removes
the candidate neighbor relationship with the cell to which the number of UEs handed
over from the local cell is the smallest.
Consider that all values of this parameter for all E-UTRAN frequencies are the same
non-zero value. If the frequency serving the cell whose neighbor relationship is to be
added has neighboring cells whose neighbor relationships can be removed, the eNodeB
removes the neighbor relationship with the cell that operates on this frequency and to
which the number of UEs handed over from the local cell is the smallest. If the
frequency does not have neighboring cells whose neighbor relationships can be
removed, the eNodeB does not remove neighboring relationships based on E-UTRAN
frequency priorities and removes the candidate neighbor relationship with the cell to
which the number of UEs handed over from the local cell is the smallest.
If not all values of this parameter for all E-UTRAN frequencies are the same, the
eNodeB removes the candidate neighbor relationship with the cell that operates on a
frequency and to which the number of UEs handed over from the local cell is the
smallest based on frequency priories in ascending order. This parameter applies only to
LTE FDD and LTE TDD.

Unit: %
Recommended Value: Set this parameter based on network coverage, bandwidth, and
UE capabilities. For example, if frequencies 1 and 2 have the same bandwidth and
cover the same area and all UEs on the network support these frequencies, set the
proportion to 50% for both frequencies.
Applicable Mode:L
InterFreqCioAdjLimitCfgIn Inter-Freq Meaning: Indicates how to set the upper and lower limits of the inter-frequency CIO
d CIO adjustment range for the cell. If this parameter is set to NOT_CFG, the CIO adjustment
Adjustment range for the cell in inter-frequency MRO is not configured separately. Instead, the
Configuratio value range is the same as that in intra-frequency MRO. For details, see the value
n Ind ranges in the CellMro.CioAdjLimitCfgInd, CellMro.CioAdjUpperLimit, and
CellMro.CioAdjLowerLimit parameters. If this parameter is set to MANUAL_CFG, the
inter-frequency CIO for the cell can be changed by an amount within the range
specified by the upper and lower limits. If this parameter is set to AUTO_CFG, then:
(1) If the inter-frequency handover triggering event is event A4/A5, the upper and lower
limits of the CIO adjustment range for the cell in inter-frequency MRO are calculated
by using the following formulas: InterFreqCioAdjLowerLimit = -24,
InterFreqCioAdjUpperLimit < Thresh + 110 - Ofn + Hys.
(2) If the inter-frequency handover triggering event is event A3, the upper and lower
limits of the CIO adjustment range for the cell in inter-frequency MRO are calculated
by using the following formulas: InterFreqCioAdjLowerLimit = Off + Ofs + Ocs - Ofn
+ Hys - 5, InterFreqCioAdjUpperLimit = Off + Ofs + Ocs - Ofn + Hys - 2.
Applicable Mode:L
InterFreqCioAdjLowerLimit Inter-Freq Meaning: Indicates the lower limit of inter-frequency cell individual offset (CIO)
CIO adjustment range for the cell in mobility robustness optimization (MRO). This
Adjustment parameter needs to be set only when the InterFreqCioAdjLimitCfgInd parameter is set
Lower Limit to MANUAL_CFG.

InterFreqCioAdjUpperLimit Inter-Freq Meaning: Indicates the upper limit of inter-frequency cell individual offset (CIO)
CIO adjustment range for the cell in mobility robustness optimization (MRO). This
Adjustment parameter needs to be set only when the InterFreqCioAdjLimitCfgInd parameter is set
Upper Limit to MANUAL_CFG.

InterFreq4TInd Inter Meaning: Indicates whether a neighboring E-UTRA frequency is a 4T- or 2T-cell
Frequency frequency. The values of FREQ2T and FREQ4T indicate that the corresponding
4T Indicator frequency is a 2T- and 4T-cell frequency, respectively. This parameter applies only to
LTE FDD.
Unit: None
Applicable Mode:L
CtrlMode Control Meaning: Indicates the control policy on ANR-related MOs, which can be defined by
Mode the user or be based on the automatic neighbor relation (ANR) algorithm. When this
parameter is set to MANUAL_MODE, this MO can be modified or removed by only
the user. A failure message is displayed when the user adds an existing MO. When this
parameter is set to AUTO_MODE, this MO can be modified or removed by the user or
based on the ANR algorithm. The MO removal is successful even if the MO does not
exist. An MO can be added both by the user and based on the ANR algorithm. If an
existing MO is to be added, the MO is modified when the user performs the addition,
but it cannot be added based on the ANR algorithm. When this MO is automatically
added based on the ANR algorithm, this parameter is set to AUTO_MODE by default.
When this MO is added by the user, this parameter can be set to AUTO_MODE or
MANUAL_MODE. This parameter applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
Unit: None
Applicable Mode:L
MeasPriorityForFreqPriHo Meas Priority Meaning: Indicates the measurement priority of the frequency for frequency-priority-
for Freq- based handovers. Before delivering frequencies to measure for frequency-priority-based
Priority- handovers, the eNodeB selects frequencies based on the settings of this parameter. It
based HO preferentially selects high-priority frequencies. The larger the value of this parameter,
the higher the priority level. This parameter applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
Unit: None
Applicable Mode:L
EmtcInterFreqCellReselPri eMTC Inter- Meaning: Indicates the reselection priority of cells serving eMTC UEs under the E-
Frequency UTRAN frequency. 0 indicates the lowest priority. An eMTC UE determines whether
Cell Resel to reselect a neighboring cell on the frequency based on the value of this parameter and
Priority the absolute priority of the serving cell. If the value of this parameter is larger than the
absolute priority of the serving cell, the UE starts measuring neighboring cells on the E-
UTRAN frequency. Then, if the signal quality of any neighboring cell meets the
requirements, the UE reselects a high-priority cell. If the value of this parameter is less
than the absolute priority of the serving cell, the UE starts the measurements only when
the signal quality of the serving cell is poor. Then, if the signal quality of any
neighboring cell meets the requirements, the UE reselects a high-priority cell. For
details, see 3GPP TS 36.331. If this parameter is set to 255, a priority is not set for the
frequency. This parameter applies only to LTE FDD and LTE TDD.
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 0~7,255
Applicable Mode:L
