This is important to set the proper mobility parameters, espcially there are many dependencies among the event thresholds.
The Events that are illustrated Graphycally are:

Description
IntraFreq Cell Reselection will start when sRxLev <= sIntraSearch. Ranking for cells will be based on:
R(serving) = Meas RSRP + qHyst
R(neighbor) = Meas RSRP -qOffset.
IRAT Cell Reselection will start when sRxLev <= sNonIntraSearch. The cell reselection will happen when Srxlev < threshServingLow and the
cell Srxlev > threshXLow
Measurements start when RSRP is less than sMeasure
A3 event happens when M(n)+ CellOffset -HystA3 > M(s) + A3Offset
A3 event stops when M(n)+ CellOffset +HystA3 < M(s) + A3Offset
Measurements start when RSRP is less than sMeasure
Coverage triggered session continuity will start based on RSRP (Primary measurement) and RSRQ (secondary Measurement) when it fulfills
The UE will release LTE with redirect message, thus it goes to idle mode and selects a suitable 3G cell.
Set LTE cell priority higher than wcdma priority. Measurement detection on LTE cell higher priority is done every 60s. UE intensify measuring

To exit A5 event one of these 2 conditions shall be reached.
