LTE Mobility Management Overview

Mobility in LTE networks is essential for maintaining quality of service as users move between cells. This document discusses: 1. Connected mode mobility, including intra-frequency and inter-frequency handovers, S1 handovers, and inter-RAT handovers between LTE and other technologies like WCDMA. 2. Mobility triggers that initiate handovers when certain thresholds are exceeded, such as RSRP/RSRQ. 3. Improvements to mobility in 3GPP Releases 15A and 16, including load balancing optimizations, mobility robustness monitoring, and measurement-based idle mode load balancing.

Connected Mode Mobility Overview
• Procedures supported:
– Handover: Transfer of an ongoing call/data session from a cell to another without call interruption. Handovers in
LTE are:
- Network controlled
- UE assisted
- Hard handovers: Only a connection exist to one cell at a time
– Redirection: Similar to handover, but requires connection release prior to the transfer the ongoing call
– Cell change: procedure dedicated for call transfer from LTE to GSM; it requires connection release

Licensing:
• All IRAT HO, inter-frequency HO, CSFB to UTRAN/GERAN via redirect and S1 handovers are optional features:
• When enabled they are activated for the whole eNodeB
• If deactivated the eNB does not configure UE to measure other technologies/ frequencies so handover is not
triggered

Mobility Triggers (1/3)

Mobility is handled via events triggering. 3GPP defines following events:

Event A1 Serving becomes better than threshold

Event A2 Serving becomes worse than threshold

Event A3 Neighbour becomes offset better than serving


Event A4 is
supported since Event A4 Neighbour becomes better than threshold
RL50 (IF load
Event A5 Serving becomes worse than threshold1 and
balancing) neighbour becomes better than threshold2

Event B1 Inter RAT neighbour becomes better than


threshold
Event B2 Serving becomes worse than threshold1 and
inter RAT neighbour becomes better than
threshold2

Mobility Triggers (2/3)

• Event A2/A1: RSRP of serving cell is down/up-crossing certain RSRP threshold (threshold2a/ threshold1)
• Event A3 (better cell HO): RSRP of neighbour cell is a predefined offset better than RSRP of serving (for intra and
inter frequency HOs)
• Event A5 (coverage HO): RSRP of serving cell is down-crossing certain threshold, while RSRP of neighbour cell is
up-crossing an other threshold (for intra and inter frequency HOs)

Mobility thresholds examples comments

• LTE thresholds are relative to -140 dBm. This means if for example threshold3 is set to 21, the
RSRP value is (-140+21=) -119dBm

• The following restrictions need to be fulfilled:


- Threshold4 < Threshold3 < Threshold2_xxxx <= Threshold2a < Threshold1
- Threshold3 < Threshold3a
- Threshold3InterFreq < Threshold3aInterFreq

• The higher the threshold the better the RSRP signal

Intra and inter frequency handovers

For internal use
Handovers
Two main types of handovers in LTE:
Better Cell Handover or A3 Handover
• It aims to keep the UE always on best cell (measured by RSRP/RSRQ), e.g. HO to another cell happens when
neighbour cell becomes more than 4 dB better than serving cell

Coverage Handover, or A5 Handover


• When serving cell RSRP gets below a certain threshold (e.g.-95 dBm RSRP) AND neighbour cell RSRP gets
better than an absolute threshold (e.g. -92 dBm RSRP)

• They can be intra and inter frequency (different parameters) and intra or
inter eNodeB
LNBTS
• They can be enabled/disabled on cell level: LNCEL
Inter-frequency HO parameters are defined in LNIFHO object whereas LNHOIF
Intra-frequency HO parameters are defined in LNCEL object

For internal use
Intra LTE Handover via S1
Extended mobility option to X2 handover

• Applicable for intra and inter frequency HO and only for


inter-eNB HO
• DL Data forwarding via S1
• Handover in case of
– no X2 interface between eNodeBs, e.g. not operative,
not existing or because blacklisted usage
– eNodeBs connected to different CN elements

• For the UE there is no difference whether the HO is executed via X2 or S1 interface


• HO reasons ‘better cell HO’ (A3) and ‘coverage HO’ (A5) are supported
• MME and/or SGW can be changed during HO (i.e. if source and target eNodeB belong to different
MME/S-GW)

For internal use
Inter RAT Handover to WCDMA
• IRAT hard handover from LTE to WCDMA PS domain through S1 interface
• Phases:
1. Handover initiation:
 eNB starts a HO to WCDMA following a received measurement report with event B2
 Max. 8 cells reported (strongest first) that create the TCL (target cell list)
2. Handover preparation:
- Resource allocation on target side (E-RAB parameters mapped
into PDP context)

3. Handover execution:
- UE moves into WCDMA cell after receiving
‘MobilityfromEUTRACommand’ message

4. Handover completion:
- Release of S1 connection and internal resources after successful
HO (no timers expired)

• Similar feature to HO to WCDMA:
• IRAT Measurements triggered via event A2/A1 (activated/deactivated)
• Triggered by event B2 (although using different parameter values)
• Difference: it is not a handover procedure
• UE goes first into GSM RRC Idle mode and starts the RRC Connection Setup procedure in GSM

• Network Assisted: GSM system information of 2G


target cell is sent to UE (giving a gain of ~1s in the
process but with significant service interruption)

• Maximum number of GSM cells to be reported is

RRC Connection Release with Redirect

37 © Nokia 2014 - NPO GS


For internal use
RRC Connection Release with Redirect, Event A2
• When serving RSRP falls below threshold4 for a time a2TimeToTriggerRedirect the RRC connection is released
and UE redirects to the E-UTRA or inter-RAT carrier frequency with highest priority (if several redirection
objects defined) regardless of the signal strength of the target carrier
• UE capabilities are considered when performing redirect

38 27/02/2024 © Nokia 2014 - File Name - Version - Creator - DocID


For internal use
RRC Connection Release with Redirect
• It is possible to define different redirection (REDR) objects and different priorities between those
objects
• eNB selects the target frequency for redirect based on the priorities configured for frequency layers
• If the highest priority layer is not supported by UE according to capabilities reported earlier, then the
next highest priority layer is selected.
• Redirection is not ‘blind’ – there are amendments of this feature for redirection to UTRAN
(LTE1073, Measurement based redirection to UTRAN) and for GERAN (LTE984 , GSM
Redirect with System Information).
• If there is no coverage in the target frequency the connection drops

• Redirection is a mechanisms to force a UE to: interfere with LTE serving
layer
– switch from RRC-CONNECTED to RRC-IDLE mode and
– reselect to inter-frequency/inter-RAT neighbor cell for PS session
continuation and/or CS call setup (CS Fallback*)
• Redirection is triggered by the radio conditions
– RSRP or RSRQ
– in case of CS Fallback*, redirection is triggered by mobile originating or
terminating CS call
• Target RAT/frequency layer is indicated to a UE by an eNB
within RRC:rrcConnectionRelease message
• At first glance, redirection could be regarded as the last-ditch
from loosing of signaling connection between an eNB and a
UE in case of either poor coverage or extensive interference

LTE1407 – RSRQ based redirection - overview
RSRQ based redirection (LTE1407) – is enhancement of RSRP based redirection (LTE423)
LTE423 redirection is triggered by RSRP only, LTE1407 brings additional RSRQ trigger event.

• Redirection target selection and procedure flow is
the same for both RSRP and RSRQ triggered
cases -19.5 dB

• Having both RSRP and RSRQ criterion, UE can be redirected to other LTE frequency/RAT layer to

RSRQ Redirection targets definition
Targets for RSRQ based redirection should be carefully planned so that the network
performance and user experience are not compromised
• Targets should be planned so that UE is not redirected
to the layer which is in mutual interference relation with
the serving layer.
– redirection towards interfering layer could result in
further increasing of interference level towards
serving layer leading to more and more RSRQ
based redirections
– redirecting UE to interfered layer could result in
ping-pong effect – entering poor quality layer UE
may start redirection/HO back towards initial
serving layer
• Activation of RSRQ based redirection may require re-
planning of redirection targets previously configured for ~1..4Mbps of UE DL
RSRP based redirection throughput @ RSRQ
• Targets should be planned so that UE is redirected to ~18dB
the layer providing better user experience (throughput,
connection retainability, delay,…) than serving cell @
RSRQ around RSRQ redirection threshold

– RSRQ will trigger redirection well before any HO

– further tuning of this threshold should be
carefully done based on drive test results so

Introduction
LTE1749 feature overview

• LTE1749 Mobility Robustness Monitoring Inter-RAT UTRAN feature aims to monitoring


Radio Link Failure (RLF) and Handover Failure (HOF) occurrences.
• This feature is activated on the eNB.
• This feature works efficiently in networks where a significant number
of the UEs are compliant to 3GPP Release 11 or higher
(which should support the RLF Report).
• The eNB collects Performance Management (PM) counters which track
the number of RLF and HOF events related to mobility to UTRAN (from 4G to 3G).
• This feature does not count the unnecessary HO to another RAT, Inter-RAT Ping Pong, or too
early Inter-RAT Handover (from UTRAN to LTE).

• When Too Late events is detecting based on UE reported RLF reports, the standard does not allow the eNB
to discriminate which UTRAN measurement was activated at the time of the RLF (B1/B2 related to
PSHO/VoLTE/CSFB /LB).
- Then the eNB will compare the reported measurement against each configured threshold to determine the Too Late counters
which should be incremented (PSHO, VoLTE).
- It is possible to increment multiple Too Late PM counters based on the single RLF reporting event.
• The eNB increments the appropriate Too Late PM counters associated with the cell (in which the RLF
occurred) and the UTRAN frequency which had been selected after the RLF occurred.
• UE can indicate to the eNB, that it has RLF information available, after some period of time (even up to 48
hours).
• The Too Late event can only be reported by UEs which support 3GPP Release 11 or later, whereas Too
Early events can be detected for all UEs.

For internal use
Intra frequency cell reselection, Triggering Measurements
- When a UE is camped on a cell it looks for better candidate cells for reselection according to sIntrasearch
parameter:
- If Srxlev > sIntraSearch : UE doesn’t measure the neighbour cells
- If Srxlev <= sIntraSearch : UE starts to measure neighbour cells on the same frequency
- Example:
– LNCEL: sIntraSearch is 62 dB
– LNCEL: qrxlevmin is -130 dBm
– LNCEL: qRxLevMinOffset is 0
– pCompensation is 0

Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) - pcompensation

-130 dBm 0 dB 0 dB
• Qrxlevmeas< - 68 dBm
• UE will start to measure intra-frequency neighbours when RSRP is worse than - 68 dBm

Triggering Measurements

• Measurement trigger depends on the absolute priorities of the serving and non-serving layers
- The priority of the serving layer is defined in the parameter LNCEL:cellReSelPrio
- For each neighbouring frequency/layer, it is necessary to define the corresponding priority: IRFIM:eutCelResPrio
(7 is highest priority, 0 is lowest)
- For equal priority frequency layers it is possible to define an offset with IRFIM:qOffFrq

• If IRFIM:eutCelResPrio > LNCEL:cellReSelPrio then measurements of the neighbour cell are mandatory

• If IRFIM:eutCelResPrio <= LNCEL:cellReSelPrio then measurements are performed when RSRP of serving
cell is below sNonIntrsearch threshold:

Srxlev <= sNonIntrsearch

– LNCEL: qRxLevMin is -130 dBm
– LNCEL: qRxLevMinOffset is 0
– pCompensation is 0
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) - pcompensation

Inter Frequency Reselection: R-criteria: Reselect to lower priority layers

• If the neighbour cell layer has lower priority, the reselection will happen if:

Srxlevneighbour > IRFIM:interFrqThrL && Srxlevserving < LNCEL:threshSrvLow


Where:
Srxlevn = QrxlevMeasn – IRFIM:qRxLevMinInterF – P_compensation
Srxlevs= QrxlevMeass – LNCEL:qRxLevMin + LNCEL: qRxLevMinOffset – P_compensation

Qrxlevmeass < qRxLevMin + thresholdSrvLow – qRxLevMinOffset +


P_compensation
AND
Qrxlevmeas n > qRxLevMinInterF + interFrqThrL + P_compensation
- The criterias above have to be fullfilled during a time interval IRFIM:interTResEut
- And the UE must have been camped in the current cell more than 1 sec.

Inter RAT cell re-selection, Measurements Triger

• IRAT cell reselection procedure and related parameters are similar to those for inter frequency cell reselection

• Similar to the inter frequency case, there is the priority concept (7 is highest priority, 0 is lowest):
– The priority of serving cell is defined with LNCEL:cellReSelPrio
– The priority of the neighbouring cell is defined:
• For WCDMA: UFFIM: uCelResPrio
• For GSM: GFIM: gCelResPrio

LTE1036 RSRQ based reselection - Introduction
Cell selection and cell reselection in Rel.8
•For evaluation of conditions used for cell selection and cell reselection processes UE terminals Rel.8 use only
RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) based measurements of LTE cells
•After UE camps on a cell in cell selection process it is typical that it moves across the network from one cell to
another.
•For UEs in IDLE mode (without any transmission) this mobility issue is solved via cell reselection mechanism.
Cell selection and cell reselection are fundamental functionalities in LTE and implemented in
Nokia product since the first LTE release - RL10/RL15TD/RL50FZ
- LTE39 System information broadcast
- LTE762 Idle mode mobility from LTE to WCDMA, GSM or other LTE bands
- LTE870 Idle mode mobility from LTE to CDMA/eHRPD
- LTE807 Idle mode mobility from LTE to CDMA/1xRTT

LTE1036 RSRQ based reselection
• Cell selection and cell reselection in Rel.9
- Cell reselection triggered by weak signal power (RSRP based for LTE) prevents UEs in IDLE mode from losing
network connectivity at the cell edge due to coverage loss.
- Cell reselection triggered by weak signal quality (RSRQ based for LTE) prevents UEs in IDLE mode from losing
connectivity at any place within the cell where high interferences appear and in this context RSRQ based
reselection provides offloading of UEs from the high interfered cells to more suitable ones.

LTE1036 RSRQ based reselection
• Cell selection and cell reselection in Rel.9
- According 3GPP, UE terminals Rel.9 are obligated to make besides RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) also
RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) based measurements and use them for cell selection and cell reselection
procedures.
- All Rel.9 and higher compliant UE terminals shall support RSRQ measurements in IDLE mode
- RSRQ, as relevant to LTE technology, is applicable for measurements of LTE serving cell as well as neighbor intra-
frequency and inter-frequency LTE cells.
- In Rel.9 the scope of SI (System Information) messages broadcasted by eNB is extended by information applicable
for RSRQ measurements.
- Also criteria for cell selection and cell reselection were modified in Rel.9.
- In RL50 LTE1036 RSRQ based cell reselection have been introduced to be inline with Rel.9 cell selection
and cell reselection requirements.
- The feature introduces new handling not only for cell reselection (as feature name indicates) but affects also
cell selection process.

Benefits and Gains

LTE2051 is a solution for:


avoiding cell reselection from better cell to a worse cell (for example interfered cell) what may
lead to decreased user experience and
avoiding undesired continuous cell measurements in Idle Mode what leads to reduced power
consumption
- 3GPP defined that in idle mode all higher priority layers must be monitored. Before FL/TL15A, when
IMMCI was sent to UE, measurements of higher priority layers that have insufficient RSRP/RSRQ
might be started

Note: After LTE2051 activation, primary target, provided that it is inter-frequency LTE layer, is validated in terms
of RSRP and/or RSRQ -> it means the layer quality is sufficient in terms of RSRP and/or RSRQ, and so the measurements and
mobility in idle mode towards the primary target are justified
