Overview
2.1.1
Feature Introduction
MS continuously reports measurement report during conversation. BSC determines if
handover should be made based on the report, updates the candidate cell list and does
handover based on this list.
There are the following handover types:
Intra-cell handover: handover between similar channels in a cell;
Intra-BSC inter-cell handover: handover between similar channels in different cells that
are controlled by a BSC.
Intra-MSC inter-BSC handover: handover between similar channels in different cells that
are controlled by different BSCs under a MSC.
Page 1
Document Title
Inter-MSC handover: handover between similar channels in different cells that are
controlled by different MSCs.
ZXG10 can activate various kinds of handover algorithms based on actual network
conditions. If all the algorithms are activated, they will be used in a proper order. Some
handover parameters are set at cell level and some are set for each adjacent cell.

3.2
Measurement Report Processing

Measurement report is the original data for handover decision. ZTE GSM system
uses slide window mechanism and weighted average method.
To avoid the adverse influence on burst measurement value caused by complicated
radio transmission environment, we use a series of measurement data to do handover
decision, namely slide window mechanism. Slide window mechanism means that during
average calculation process, the oldest data is discarded and newest data is added. So
the number of data to be averaged keeps unchanged. The number of data is also the size
of slide window. The average calculation is done only if the number of accumulated data
is more than slide window size.
The reason of using weighted average is that DTX( Discontinuous Transmission)
may be used on uplink/downlink. DTX mode means that the system does not transmit
signals during the speech intermission of subscriber conversation. For non-DTX mode, it
is more accurate since it is the average value of measurement results of all timeslots. For
DTX mode, it is less accurate since it is the average value of measurement results of
some timeslots. During the averaging process, give a weight more than 1 for the data
with higher reliability. This is the meaning of weighted average.
The measurement report processing has following features:
Do preprocessing only after the number of measurement reports reach the size of
slide window. By default, the size of slide window is 4.
If DTX is enabled, the accuracy of level and quality values in measurement report
may be compromised. So the weight of measurement report with DTX is different from
that without DTX. The weight of measurement report is 1 if DTX is enabled. The weight of
measurement report can be set to (1, 2, 3) if DTX is disabled, 2 by default.
ZeroAllowed is a parameter defined as the maximum number that measurement
reports can be lost at most. If the number of lost measurement reports exceeds
ZeroAllowed, current calculation is skipped and the slide window begins the next
Page 4
Document Title
collection of measurement reports. For the lost measurement report, it is considered as 0

(that is, -110dBm), and the value is not used in average calculation. For example:
If the (K-1)th measurement report is lost and the average window size is 8, average
= 1/7 (RXLEV_NCELL(K)+0+RXLEV_NCELL(K-2)+....+RXLEV_NCELL(K-7)).
Current power in measurement report will be used to calculate the subsequent
PBGT.
If the downlink data within this measurement period is valid and the average of
downlink level is provided, PBGT value of this adjacent cell can be calculated based on
formula (1) and (2):
PBGT(n) AvRxLev_NCell(n) - [AvRxLev_DL PWR_C_D] Pa (1)

PWR_C_D BS_TxPwr_ Max - BS_TxPwr
(2)
Pa Min(MS_TxP wr_Max, MS_Capabil ity) - Min(MS_TxP wr_Max(n), MS_Capabil ity(n))
For margin of power budget, please refer to formula (3):
PBGT(n) PBGT(n) HO _ MARGIN(n) 0

Handover Decision
BSC judges if the handover conditions are met in order. Once a handover condition
is met, the handover is executed. In general, the priority of intra-cell handover algorithm
is higher than that of inter-cell handover algorithm. Intra-cell handover algorithm includes
subcell handover and uplink/downlink interference handover. Inter-cell handover
algorithm includes uplink/downlink quality handover, uplink/downlink level handover,
MS-BS hyper-long handover, rapid level drop, PBGT handover, macro-micro handover,
directed-shift handover, traffic handover (initiated by BSC), query handover (initiated by
MSC), and directed retry.
The priority order of handover algorithm is described as follows:
Subcell handover > uplink/downlink interference handover > uplink/downlink quality
handover > uplink/downlink level handover > MS-BS hyper-long handover > rapid level
drop > PBGT handover > macro-micro handover > directed-shift handover.
Note that traffic handover and query handover are actively initiated by BSC and MSC,
respectively. Directed retry is initiated during call establishment, so theprocess is different
from those based on above handover algorithm.
Except uplink/downlink quality handover and uplink/downlink level handover algorithm,
there is ON/OFF setting for each handover algorithm, in order to facilitate on-site
configuration.
Note that handover criteria should be set higher than power control criteria on the same
decision condition, in order to dopower controlfirstly.
3.4
Target Cell Selection
3.4.1
Intra-cell Handover
Serving cell need not be replaced for intra-cell handover. You only need change
carrier and timeslot. First select carrier. If the carrier is same, select the timeslot with the
lowest interference band for handover. If the interference band is same, select any
timeslot to do handover.
Intra-cell handover also includes inter-subcell handover, please refer
"ZGF05-05-002 Concentric Circle Technology" and "ZGF05-09-006 Co-BCCH".

Document Title
3.4.2
Inter-cell handover
If inter-cell handover occurs, you should consider layer selection policy and
handover decision criterion to select the target cell.
For detailed description of layer selection policy, please refer to "ZGF05-05-001
Multi-layer Cell Structure".
The handover decision criterions are outlined as follows:
Criterion 1: AvRxLevNCell(n) > RXLEV_MIN(n) + MAX(0,(MS_TXPWR_MAX(n)- P(n))
Criterion 2: PBGT(n) > HO_MARGIN(n)
Criterion 3: AvRxLevNCell(n) > avRxLevDL + HO_MARGIN_LEVEL(n)
Criterion 4: AvRxLevNCell(n) > avRxLevDL + HO_MARGIN_QUAL(n)
Table 3-2 describes the parameters mentioned in the criterions above.

Before the pico timer expires, handover is performed according to the sequence: upper
layer - same layer - lower layer. But when the pico timer expires, handover is performed
in the sequence: same layer - upper layer - lower layer.
Sort the target cells after the proper adjacent cells are searched out, then the best
cell is selected finally.

3.5
Sorting Target Cell

There are 3 decisive factors for sorting target cell: priority, traffic and radio condition.
Priority and traffic are the main factors, if these two factors lead to same results, radio
condition is picked up to sort..
Priority comprises static priority and dynamic priority.The static priorities for different
target cells is set based on network traffic and handover success rate. The system
prefers to handover to the target cell with higher priority. Also, the system can
automatically adjust the priority of target cell and set the dynamic priority based on traffic
and congestion in target cell.
The rule of sorting adjacent cells is described as follows:
First sort target cells based on cell priority. If dynamic priority is set, dynamic priority is
used, if not, static priority is used.
If two cells have the same priorities, sort target cell based on power budget margin.
For detailed information about dynamic priority, please refer to "ZGF05-02-008 Dynamic
Handover Priority Algorithm".
If the priority of target cell is same, sort it based on power budget margin.
3.6
Failure Penalty Policy

Handover failure penalty is effective to prevent recurrence of failure and improve
handover success rate. For detailed information about failure penalty, please refer to
"ZGF05-02-013 Handover Failure Penalty".

Description
This parameter specifies the interval value for which MS waits

before the actual inter-cell handover occurs. Such a timer is
more predominant for MS at the boundary regions between
two cells, where inter-cell handovers occur frequently. This
parameter helps restrict frequent inter-cell handover and
guarantees call quality.
Inter-cell handover takes place when the timer exceeds the
defined interval value from the last inter-cell handover of MS.
This parameter affects only the inter-cell handover, but not
common intra-cell or inter-cell concentric handover. In addition,
micro-cell has its own handover policy, so this parameter is
only effective for macro-cell layer and its above layer.
For macro-cell, the default value can be 5; for micro-cell, the
default value can only be 0.

Description
The survey report contains the large amount (message

amount) of Abis interface information. Preprocess of the
survey report can be transferred to BTS to reduce the burden
of Abis interface link. After preprocess, BTS averages the
survey data of MS by its own, and reports to BSC in a lower
frequency.
Average reporting period can be two, three or four SACCH
multi-frames (480 ms). That is, the frequency decreases from
the original twice/s to once/2 s, so the message amount of Abis
interface decreases. However, the decrease of message
amount still depends on if the message length before
preprocess is same as that after preprocess. One
disadvantage of preprocess is that the handover control and
power control are not in time, which increases the possibility of
disconnection rate. This parameter determines if to use
preprocess and its period or not.
The values are as follows:
0: Do not use preprocess
2: Use preprocess; the average reporting period is 2

5.1.1
Application Scenario
This feature is applied while the handover should be enabled.
When MS moves from a site coverage area to another site area or call quality drops due
to interference during conversation, a better voice channel should be used to keep the
conversation and do the proper handover based on target cell.
Page 14
Document Title
If target cell and source cell are under a base station, intra-cell handover is initiated. If
target cell and source cell are under different base stations, inter-cell handover is
initiated.
The handover takes the uplink/downlink level quality and TA value, which are measured
by MS and base station, to determine if it should hand over to a cell based on handover
decision criterion and resource allocation algorithm.
5.1.2
Configuration Description
This feature does not involve adjustment of iBSC or BTS hardware configuration.
5.1.3
Network Impact
After this feature is enabled, subscriber can conversate on movement between different
cells, so network quality is improved and subscriber perception is enhanced.
To apply this feature, you should note the following issues:
Adjacent cell layer and static priority can control the handover direction.
The introduction of dynamic priority can automatically adjust the traffic distribution in the
network to relieve the network congestion.
Failure penalty policy can reduce the number of cell failures in a target cell, to improve
the network handover success rate. It is recommended that penalty period of handover
failure should be set to 10-15s.
The layer is a logic layer, irrespective of actual site type (macro site or micro site). Layer
setting may impact the priority selection of target cell during handover. The priority of
layer is higher than static or dynamic priority.
