The output from the neighboring cell signal strength filtering, rxlev, is tested against two
minimum level thresholds, one for the downlink signal strength, MSRXMIN, and one for an
estimated uplink signal strength, BSRXMIN. These levels are defined for each cell
individually. The weakest of up- and downlink signal levels is used for the minimum level
criterion selection. This is to see if the signals can be considered high enough above the
sensitivity level for the corresponding cells to be eligible for handover.
The minimum level condition is:
SS_DOWN n >= MSRXMIN n
and
SS_UP n >= BSRXMIN n
As the environment is underground metro rail & no outside signal will serve in the tunnel &
the handover should happen with other metro cell which is serving the tunnel through
leaky cable. Because of MSRXMIN setting was too high to make a HO and leading to a drop
because of poor strength as shown below.
High Drops
due to
poor signal
strength
can be
observed
After tuning the MSRXMIN value to -110 the TCH drops were reduced a lot under week
signal strength & HO failures bucket as shown below.
