Load HO Allowed
This parameter specifies whether a traffic load-sharing handover is
enabled.
The load handover helps to reduce cell congestion, improve success
rate of channel assignment, and balance the traffic load among cells,
thus improving the network performance. The load handover
functions between the TCHs within one BSC or the TCHs in the cells
of the same layer.
The load handover is used as an emergency measure instead of a
primary measure to adjust abnormal traffic burst in partial areas. If
load handovers occur frequently in a partial area, the cell and TRX
configuration of BTSs and the network layout should be adjusted.
MS Fast Moving HO Allowed
PBGT HO Allowed
BQ HO Allowed
This parameter specifies whether the bad quality (BQ) handover is
enabled. Whether a BQ handover should be enabled depends on the
UL and DL transmission quality (BER). When the UL signal quality or
the DL signal quality exceeds the BQ handover threshold. a BQ
emergency handover is performed. A rise in BER may result from too
low a signal level or channel interference.
TA HO Allowed
This parameter specifies whether the time advance (TA) handover is
enabled. The TA handover determines whether the timing advance
(TA) is higher than the predefined TA threshold. When the TA is
higher than the predefined TA threshold, a TA handover is triggered.
The TA is calculated based on the distance between the MS and the
BTS. The longer the distance is, the greater the TA value is.
Concentric Circles HO Allowed
This parameter specifies whether the concentric cell handover is
enabled. The concentric cell is used to achieve the wide coverage of
the UL subcell and the aggressive frequency reuse of the OL subcell.
The concentric cell handover can improve system capacity and
conversation quality. The concentric cell handover can be classified
into the UL subcell to OL subcell handover and the OL subcell to UL
subcell handover.
Interference HO Allowed
This parameter specifies whether the interference handover is
enabled.
When the receive level is higher the receive level threshold but the
transmission quality is lower than the interference handover quality
threshold, the interference handover is triggered. In other words, the
MS is interfered and needs to be handed over.
MR.Preprocessing
This parameter specifies whether the BTS should preprocess MRs.
This parameter determines whether transmit power is controlled by
the BTS or by the BSC. This parameter is set to YES if power control
is performed by the BTS. This parameter is set to NO if power control
is performed by the BSC.
When this parameter is set to BSC Preprocessing, the BSC
preprocesses the measurement reports. In this case, the Transfer
Original MR, Transfer BS/MS Power Class, and Sent Freq.of
preprocessed MR parameters are invalid.
If the downlink MRs are not included in the MRs received, and if the
uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the value of this
parameter, a no downlink measurement report emergency handover
is triggered.
When an emergency handover is triggered, an inter-cell handover is
preferentially selected. An intra-cell handover, however, is triggered if
no candidate cell is available and if intra-cell handovers are allowed.
The handover decision is allowed only when the uplink receive quality
is greater than or equal to the value of this parameter. Therefore, if
this parameter is set to a higher value, the no downlink measurement
report handover cannot be triggered.
System Flux Threshold for Load HO
System flux thresholds correspond to the system flux obtained based
on message packets, CPU load, and FID queuing load. The system
flux level is the current flux control level of the system.
0-11: There are 12 flow control levels. Where, 0 indicates the lowest
level and 11 indicates the highest level.
A load handover is allowed only when the system flux is lower than
the value of this parameter. The handover performed over the
maximum threshold may have tremendous impacts on the system.
Thus, this parameter should not be set to a higher value. 1) The flow
control level algorithm for the assigned system messages: [(Average
Message Usage - Inner Flow Control Discard Begin Threshold)/(Inner
Flow Control Discard All Threshold - Inner Flow Control Discard
Begin Threshold) x 100]/10+1 (round-down for division operation). If
the value is smaller than Inner Flow Control Discard Begin Threshold,
Level 0 is used. If the value is equal to or greater than Inner Flow
Control Discard Begin Threshold, the level is calculated. The value
range is from 0 to 11.
2) Flow control threshold for the CPU to start to discard the channel
access messages and paging messages: 80%
. Flow control threshold for the CPU to discard all channel access
messages and paging messages: 100%
. CPU usage smaller than 80% corresponds to level 0. CPU usage
equal to or greater than CPU flow control threshold 80% corresponds
to level 2. An increase of 5% means an increase of 2 levels. Level 10
is the highest. The level value can be 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.
The value of this parameter should not be set too high. Load
handover is allowed only when the system flow is lower than the
If this parameter is set to a too great value, the system traffic volume
cannot be reduced effectively; if this parameter is set to a too small
value, the judgment on whether the MS fast passes a cell may be
incorrect.
MS Fast-moving Time Threshold
The time threshold is calculated based on the cell radius (r) and the
velocity (v). The threshold equals 2r/v. If the time taken by an MS to
pass a cell is smaller than this threshold, the MS is regarded as
moving fast. Otherwise, the MS is regarded as moving slow.
When the cell radius is fixed, the smaller the value of this parameter
is (the required velocity is higher), the more the difficult fast-moving
micro-to-macro cell handover can be triggered.
MAX Consecutive HO Times
This parameter determines the maximum number of consecutive
intra-cell handovers allowed.
If the interval of two continuous intra-cell handovers is shorter than a
specified threshold, the two handovers are regarded as consecutive
handovers. If multiple consecutive intra-cell handovers occur, the
intra-cell handover is forbidden for a period.
f this parameter is set to a too small value, the intra-cell handover
may not be timely; if this parameter is set to a too great value, the
system resources may be wasted when intra-cell handovers occur
frequently.
Forbidden time after MAX Times
When the number of consecutive intra-cell handovers reaches the
maximum allowed, a timer is started to forbid the intra-cell handover.
Intra-cell handovers are allowed only when the timer expires.
120020
This parameter to used to disable the intra-cell handover for a certain
period.
Interval for Consecutive HO Jud.
The two intra-cell handovers that occur during the period specified by
this parameter are regarded as consecutive handovers.
12006
Cell Type
This parameter specifies whether a cell is a normal cell or a
concentric cell.
TRXs in a concentric cell differ in coverage; thus, two subcells with
different radiuses form a concentric cell.
This parameter is valid within only the Penalty Time on Fast Moving
HO.
The level values 0 through 63 map to -110 dBm to -47 dBm.
Min DL Power on HO Candidate Cell
The M criterion supports the minimum value constraint of downlink
receive level of an adjacent cell.
Filtered downlink level of the adjacent cell >= (Minimum downlink
power of the candidate cell for handover + Minimum access level
offset)
The M criterion is met if the Filtered uplink level of the adjacent cell
>= (Minimum uplink power of the candidate cell for handover +
Minimum access level offset); otherwise, the M criterion is not met.
The value of this parameter ranges from 0 to 63 (corresponding to 110 dBm to -47 dBm).
1. This parameter must be properly set because it limits the number
of candidate cells. If this parameter is set to a too great value, some
desired cells may be excluded from the candidate cells. If this
parameter is set to a too small value, an unwanted cell may become
the candidate cell. This leads to handover failures or call drops.
2. A cell can become a candidate cell only when the receive level
minus this parameter is greater than the minimum access level offset.
UL Expected Level at HO Access
This parameter specifies the expected uplink receive level on a new
channel after an MS is handed over to a new cell. This parameter is
used for the MS Power Prediction after HO. This parameter should be
consistent with the UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold in II power control
algorithm, thus ensuring a relatively high uplink receive level on the
new channel after handover, increasing the transmit power of the MS,
and avoiding call drops caused by too low a uplink receive level.
The value of this parameter ranges from 0 to 63 (corresponding to 110 dBm to -47 dBm).
If this parameter is set to a too small value, call drop may easily
occur.
K Bias
This parameter specifies the K offset used in K ranking.
To reduce the ping-pong effect in an handover, you are advised to
subtract K Bias from the actual downlink receive level of the
candidate cells before ranking their downlink receive level based on
the K principle.
When n = 1, that is, when the receive level of the serving cell is
smaller than or equal to 30, this parameter is invalid.
For the AMR calls, this parameter, together with RXQUALn, is used
in interference handover decision. An uplink interference handover is
easily triggered if this parameter is set to a small value.
DtxMeasUsed
This parameter is used as a switch to control the value determination
method of measurement reports. When this parameter is set to Open,
if DTX is used, the SUB values in the MR should be selected.
Otherwise, the PULL values in the MR should be selected.
When this parameter is set to 0 and if the measurement report
indicates that DTX is not used, the FULLSET values should be
selected. When this parameter is set to 0 and if the measurement
report indicates that DTX is used, the SUBSET values should be
selected. In latter cases, the SUBSET values should be used
irrespective of how DTX is indicated in the subsequent measurement
reports.
When this parameter is set to 1, whether the FULLSET values or the
SUBSET values should be selected depends on the DTX indication
bit in the measurement report. That is, if the measurement report
indicates that DTX is used, the SUBSET values should be selected;
otherwise, the FULLSET values should be selected.
Min UP Power on HO Candidate Cell
The M criterion supports the minimum value constraint of uplink
receive level of the adjacent cell.
Expected uplink level of the adjacent cell >= (Min UP Power on HO
Candidate Cell + Min Access Level Offset)
The M criterion is met if the Filtered downlink level of the adjacent cell
>= (Min DL Power on HO Candidate Cell + Min Access Level Offset);
otherwise, the M criterion is not met.
The value of this parameter ranges from 0 to 63 (corresponding to 110 dBm to -47 dBm).
1. This parameter must be properly set because it limits the number
of candidate cells. If this parameter is set to a too great value, some
desired cells may be excluded from the candidate cells. If this
parameter is set to a too small value, an unwanted cell may become
the target cell. This leads to handover failures or call drops.
2. A cell can become a candidate cell only when the uplink receive
level minus this parameter is greater than the minimum access level
offset.
