2 Overview
2.1 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.
Inter-MSC handover: handover between similar channels in different cells that are
controlled by different MSCs.
ZXUR9000 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
2.2 License Control

Features like Handover between Macro- and Micro-cells, Directed-Shift Handover and
Traffic Based Handover can be categorized into the handover types described in this
feature.
The relation between this feature and Dynamic Priority: target cell of this feature is sorted
by dynamic priority method. There are two methods to sort the target cells, dynamic
priority and power budget. First sort the target cells based on dynamic priority, and then
sort them based on power budget if dynamic priority is the same.
The relation between this feature and Multi-layer Cell Structure: the cell layer structure is
used in cell layer configuration and target cell selection.
The relation between this feature and these features Concentric Circle Technology and
Co-BCCH: Intra-cell handover of this feature includes sub-cell handover, and sub-cell
handover will happen if Concentric Circle Technology or Co-BCCH feature is activated.

3.1 Handover Parameter Configuration
In normal network plan, Cell structure is divided into four layers: umbrella cell, macro-cell,
micro-ell and pico-cell. For detailed description of cell layer setting, please refer to
“ZGO-05-02-008 Multi-layer Cell Structure" feature description.
For the parameter configuration of various handover algorithms, please refer to the
feature description of related algorithms: “ZGO-02-02-001 Handover between Macro-
and Micro-cells”, ”ZGO-02-02-002 Dynamic Handover Priority Algorithm”,
“ZGO-02-02-003 Directed-Shift Handover” , ”ZGO-02-02-007 Traffic Based Handover”,

Technology” and “ZGO-04-02-005 Co-BCCH”.

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 reaches 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 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_M ax - BS_TxPwr

Pa  Min(MS_TxP wr_Max, MS_Capabil ity) - Min(MS_TxP wr_Max(n), MS_Capabil ity(n)) (2)
For margin of power budget, please refer to formula (3):
PBGT(n)  PBGT(n)  HO _ MARGIN(n)  0 (3)
Table 3-1 describes the parameters in formula (1), (2), and (3).
Table 3-1 Parameter List of Calculating the Margin of Power Budget

Parameter Meaning
AvRxLev_NCell (n) Average of downlink level in adjacent cell and received

by MS
AvRxLev_DL Average of downlink level in serving cell for MS
BS_TxPwr_Max Max power of base station
BS_TxPwr Actual power of base station
MS_TxPwr_Max Max power of serving cell for MS
MS_TxPwr_Max(n) Max power of adjacent cell for MS
MS_Capability Power capability of serving cell for MS
MS_Capability (n) Power capability of adjacent cell for MS
HO_MARGIN(n) Power budget threshold
3.3 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 the process 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 do power control firstly.
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 to “ZGO-05-02-009

Concentric Circle Technology” and “ ZGO-04-02-005 Co-BCCH ".
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 "ZGO-05-02-008

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.
Table 3-2 Description of Handover Cell Judgment Parameters

Parameter Meaning
RXLEV_MIN(N) The minimum reception level required for handover to
this adjacent cell
PBGT(N) Power budget of this adjacent cell
HO_MARGIN(N) Power budget threshold of handover to this adjacent

cell
HO_MARGIN_QUAL(N) Quality level threshold of handover to this adjacent cell
HO_MARGIN_LEVEL(N) Level threshold of handover to this adjacent cell
MS_TXPWR_MAX(n) Max power allowed in this adjacent cell for MS
P (n) Power capability of adjacent cell for MS
avRxLevDL Average of downlink level for current MS
AvRxLevNcell (N) Average of downlink level in this adjacent cell
You can combine criterion 1~4 to select the target cell. Criterion 1 is a necessary
required condition, which means the average level of the handover-to adjacent cell must
be larger than the minimum handover level.
Comprehensively consider layer selection policy and handover decision criterion, the
policies to select the target cell due to different handover reasons are listed in Table 3-3

Note that the pico timer is set during the handover initialization, which is performed after
the access of MS in the case of immediate assignment, assignment or handoff. 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 are 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 “ZGO-02-02-002 Dynamic
Handover Priority Algorithm”.
If the priority of target cell is same, sort it based on power budget margin.

6 Engineering Guide
6.1 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.
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.

6.2.4 MSC Intra-cell Handover
The configuration is the same as 6.2.3 MSC Intra-cell Handover, except configure
External GSM Cell & Adjustment GSM Cell as different cell.
6.3 Feature Validation
Basic Handover has different types, and we only list a typical kind as following. The
differences are only on whether handover occurs in BSC Intra-cell, BSC Inter-cell, MSC
Intra-cell or MSC Inter-cell.
Test Item Inter-cell,Intra-BSC Handover
Precondition 1. check CN is healthy;
2. check BSC is healthy;
3. check SDR is healthy;
4. check Cell A and Cell B in the same BSC are
available,and check default cell configuration and
parameters in BSC;
5. MSs are ready;
6. ensure good radio environment;
Test Steps 1. Cell A is the serving cell,set Cell B as the neighbour
cell of Cell A,and set Min threshold of signal level for
handover on quality as proper value(such as ”0”) in
Adjacent GSM cell configuration.
2. Set “Allow quality handover in uplink/downlink(low
speed)” as “yes” in Handover control.
3. Set “Uplink/Downlink receive quality threshold” as
proper value in Handover control. Smaller is better,
such as “8”.
4. Open BSSAP of two cells in signaling trace.
5. MS1 makes a call in serving cell.
6. Add interference (use shielding device etc.) in the
serving cell to make MS’s UL/DL quality worse than
threshold.
Anticipative Result 1. MS handover from cell A to cell B, and no call-drop.
2. There is ”handover performed” message in BSSAP
signaling trace,and handover cause is”UL quality”
or ”DL quality”.

6.5 Network Impact
1. Impact on network
After this feature is enabled, subscriber can make conversation 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.
2. Impact on network elements
No impact on the capacity of BSC and BTS after this feature is enabled.
