p This measurement item provides the number of inter-frequency hard handover requests initiated by
the RNC.
p The measurement is triggered at point B, as shown in the figure. To initiate an inter-frequency hard
handover procedure, the RNC first sends a RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message to the NodeB.
After it receives a RADIO LIN SETUP RESPONSE message, the RNC sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION message, or a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, or a RADIO
BEARER RECONFIGURATION message to the UE. At this moment, the measurement of this item shall
be triggered.

failure in the RNC.
p During inter-frequency hard handover, the RNC sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION
message, TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, or RADIO BEARER
RECONFIGURATION message to the UE and starts a timer to wait for the response from the UE. If
the UE returns a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, or a TRANSPORT
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, or a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION FAILURE
message, it indicates that the hard handover fails. If the RNC cannot maintain the call connected
before the hard handover, it initiates an RRC connection release procedure, which results in call
drops. At this moment, the measurement of this item shall be triggered.
