 LTE Handover Concept techteworld

Types of Handover in LTE

Categorization of Handover(EPC Entities are Changed or not) in three

kinds
✓Intra-LTE Handover
✓Inter-LTE Handover
✓Inter-RAT

Categorization of Handover(EPC Entities are Involved or not) in two types

✓X2 Handover
✓S1 Handover
 LTE Handover Concept techteworld

Basic Concept of X2 and S1 Handover Selection

✓ S1 handover is when the X2 procedure fails(due to

unreachability/Error response etc).
✓ The MME and the SGW are involved during
the handover procedure

There are 3 main things to focus for measurement related rrc reconfiguration message
A. Measurement object id
B. Report config id
C. Measurement id

Measurement control
Measurement id is the combination of
✓ Its periodic or triggered by network
Measurement object id and Report config id
✓ can be event based

Measurement GAP

✓ Measurement GAP is introduced to measure the different frequencies of neighbor cell and inter RAT from
the current cell in that mentioned GAP, so when neighboring inter frequency Cell has better signal than
serving Cell then UE will measure the RSRP in that GAP and informs to current cell in measurement report.
During this gap ue will not listen or transmit from/to serving cell.

✓ Ultimately the network makes the decision, but the gap provides the UE sufficient time to change
frequency, make a measurement, and switch back to the active channel

✓ There is two profile gp0 and gp1 ..

Gp0 for fast moving traffic as it's periodicity is 40 ms
Gp1 for slow moving as it's periodicity is 80 ms(like small cell application)
