HANDOVER PROCESS
Handover Algorithms
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n) > hoLevelUmbrella(n)
PBGT > hoMarginPBGT(n) where
PBGT = ((msTxPwrMax - msTxPwrMax(n)) - (AV_RXLEV_DL_HO -
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n))
- (btsTxPwrMax - BTS_TXPWR))
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n) > rxLevMinCell(n) + Max (0, A)
A = msTxPwrMax(n) - P P = depending on MS Classmark
A > hoMarginLev/Qual(n) where
A = (AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n) - AV_RXLEV_DL_HO)-(btsTxPwrMax -
BTS_TXPWR)

HANDOVER PROCESS
Target Cell Selection (1/2)
If two or more Adjacent cells with equal priorities
-> Ranking based on radio properties
Load check of Candidates by btsLoadThreshold (0..100%)
If overloaded priority decreased by hoLoadFactor(0...7)
Best candidates to RR Management:
intra BSC HO max 16 cells under the same BSC as the source cell
inter BSC HO numberOfPreferredCells
Comparison of priorities of Candidates (hoLevelPriority
(0..7))

3.
Only for Adjacent
Cell of thesame BSC

PBGT = ((msTxPwrMax- msTxPwrMax(n)) - (AV_RXLEV_DL_HO -
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n)) - (btsTxPwrMax - BTS_TXPWR)
PBGT = ((33dBm-33dBm)-(-90 - -80)-(42dBm-42dBm)
= 10 dB
10 dB > 6 dB OK !!!!
Equations 1 and 2 are used
AV_RXLEV_DL_HO = -90 dBm
msTxPwrMax = 33 dBm (= 2W)
btsTxPwrMax = 42 dBm (= 16 W)
BTS_TX_PWR = 42 dBm = (16 W)
hoMarginPBGT(n) = 6 dB
Serving Cell: Best Adjacent Cell:
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n) = -80 dBm
rxLevMinCell(n) = -99 dBm
msTxPwrMax(n) = 33 dBm (= 2W)
btsTxPwrMax = 42 dBm (= 16 W)
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n) > rxLevMinCell(n) + Max (0, msTxPwrMax(n) - msTxPwrMax)
-80 dBm > -99 dBm + (33 dBm - 33 dBm) = -99 dBm

HO allowed only to a macrocell ( MS_TXPWR_MAX(n) >=
gsmMacrocellThreshold )
gsmMicrocellThreshold < Max power capability of MS < gsmMacrocellThreshold
HO only to middle size cell ( gsmMicrocellThreshold < MS_TXPWR_MAX(n)
