3 Rationale
In order to gain insight into the performance of IRAT handovers, the operator needs to know the success rate of IRAT handovers along with the number of triggered IRAT handovers. Additionally, in order to be able to break down the HO performance per target RAT and per neighbour relation, the handover success and attempt rate need to be available per target RAT and per neighbour relation basis. Finally, the performance measurements indicating the causes for IRAT handover triggering are required in order to properly monitor handovers initiated by different causes.

Description

The following performance measurements based on UE measurement reports should be introduced to facilitate monitoring of IRAT HO performance:
