Dragged Handover
There will be such cases that you will notice handover process taking
place a little late, which is called dragged handover.
For most cases, Ping-pong Handover is caused by no dominant cell. There was
a handover back to cell 12366 after the second ping-pong handover, but this was
outside of the defined window. The change in dominance after the handover was
9dB, which represents a much healthier handover.

Solutions of Handover Issues

Check if the parameter of handover, such as: PBGT, Quality, Interference,
Edge handover threshold, and P/N Value is set too high.

Neighbor Audit. Check if there is neighbor missing according to data

Find out the cause of Handover failure form Um signaling flow from
Layer2 and Layer3 Message.
Handover Failure
Check if the HSR between source and target cell is low. If it is, find the
root cause of handover failure reasons by traffic statistic analysis.
