The smaller the value is, the higher the handover priority and position of
the cell are in the candidate cell list, then it is possible to be the candidate

The bit value indicates the priority of downlink receiving level according to
the cell signal level and the penalty process taking place beforehand.
The values come from max. 6 candidate cells and 1 serving cell
according to the level ranges from 000~110. The value for the cell with
the strongest signal level is 000.

The 5th~10th bits
The bit value is decided according to their position in Huawei hierarchical
network structure.
Huawei cell layers can be divided into 4 layers and each layer can be further
divided into 16 different priorities.
So there are 64 different priorities in Huawei hierarchical cell structure.

Enhanced Dual Band HO
Enhanced dual band cell is two different band cells which locate a
common site, and have the same azimuth.
Purpose
During the procedure of channel assignment and handover, 900M
cell and 1800M cell can share their resource.
Assign the channel with low load in UL to MS preferentially.
Make MS handover from the high load cell to the low load cell.

Intra-BSC Inter-Cell Handover
In the case of intra-BSC inter-cell handover, the MS can be handed over to the underlay
or overlay cell first.
If “System Optimization” is selected, the preferred assignment is conducted according
to the level value in the measurement report.
