Penalty Processing
There are altogether four types of penalty process

(second step of HO algorithm process )
Penalty on the target cell when a HO fails.
Penalty on the original serving cell when an emergency HO

( base on BQ and TA ) is performed.
Penalty on other high priority layer cells after a fast moving

HO is performed.
A new HO attempt is prohibited within the penalty time

after an overlaid/underlaid HO fails.

Penalty on the Target Cell
Punish the target cell when a HO fails. This is to avoid the
MS to select this cell again in next HO judgment.

Penalty on the Source Cell

Penalty on Non-umbrella Layer
Giving penalty on the other three layers after MS
handovers to Umbrella cell by fast-moving-HO. This is to
keep MS staying in the umbrella cell and avoid frequent
HO.

Penalty on Overlaid/underlaid Cell
A new Overlaid/underlaid HO is prohibited within a
penalty time after an Overlaid/Underlaid HO failure.

again after a

Procedure of Ranking
Basic ranking and secondary ranking of cells are

major parts of the HO judgment. Ranking is made
through 16bits-algorithm. The serving cell and the
neighbor cells will be listed in a cell list according
to their 16bits value. The ranking processes include:
M rule
K rule
16bits ranking

M rule
Only the cells with received signal level satisfy the following conditions
can be put into the candidate cell list.
For serving cell
RX_LEV (o) >MSRXMIN(o) + MAX(0,Pa(o))
For Neighbor cell

RX_LEV (n) > MSRXMIN(n)+ MAX(0,Pa(n))+ OFFSET
Pa(0) : MS_TXPWR_MAX(0) P
Pa(n) : MS_TXPWR_MAX(n) P
MS_TXPWR_MAX( ) : The appointed MS transmitting power by the
BSS.
P : Max_Power_of_MS
Max_Power_of_MS : MS maximum transmitting power

K rule Criterion
After the M rule , the serving cell and candidate neighbor cells
are ranked in descending order according to the receiving
level only.
Both the serving cell and the neighbor cells have their own
16bits value. The smaller the value is, the higher the priority
and position the cell is in the cell list.
The 1st-3rd bits: bit value is decided according to the cell

signal level and the penalty process taking place beforehand.
The values come from max. 6 candidate cells and 1 serving cell
according to the level ranges from 000~110. The value for the cell
with the strongest signal level is 000.
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
The 4th bit: determined by HO hysteresis
The 4th bit: bit value is determined by inter-cell HO ( of the same layer )
hysteresis.
The 4th bit of the serving cell is always 0,
If the receiving signal level of the neighbor cell >= The receiving level
of the serving cell + Inter-cell HO ( of the same layer ) hysteresis, bit 4th
is set to 0.
The receiving level of the neighbor cell < The receiving level of the
serving cell + Inter-cell HO ( of the same layer ) hysteresis, bit 4th is set
to 1.
Note: In PBGT HO, whichever the greater of the inter-cell ( of the same layer )
hysteresis and PBGT threshold, that value will be used in the PBGT HO.
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The 5th10th bit: determined by Layer
The 5th-10th bits: bit value is decided according to their position in Huawei
hierarchical network structure.
When the signal level of the neighbor cells or the serving cell is lower than the
layer HO threshold and hysteresis, this function is turned off and all bits are
set to 0.
That is to say only when the above criterions are met, then this function take
effect.
Huawei cell layers can be divided into 4 layers and each layer can be further
divided into 16 different priorities. So there are 64 different priorities in
Huawei hierarchical cell structure.

The 11th bit: determined by load
The 11th bit: bit value is decided by cell-load-sharing criterion.
Serving cell: if Cell Load>= Start threshold of load HO, bit 11th is set to
1, otherwise is set to 0.
Neighbor cell: if Cell Load>=Receive threshold of load HO, bit 11th is

set to 1, otherwise is set to 0.
Refer to Load HO Table for the load HO threshold and load req. on
candidate cell.
Clue : When the cell load is higher than the threshold, then the bit 11th is set
to 1.This is done in order to put the cell in a lower part of the cell list.
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The 12th/13th bit: determined by co-BSC/MSC
12th bit: bit value is decided by co-BSC criterion.

Serving cell: is always set to 0.
Neighbor cell: if co-BSC with the serving cell, 12th bit is set to 0, otherwise is
set to 1.
When the signal level from the neighbor cell or the serving cell is lower than
layer HO threshold and hysteresis. This function is turned off and the value
is set to 0.
If the parameter Co-BSC/MSC Adj. in the HO control table is set to No,

then this function is turned off and the value is 0.
13th bit : Bit value is decided by Co-MSC parameter, having the same
concept as the 12th bit.
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The 14th bit: determined by Layer HO
The 14th bit: Layer HO threshold adjustment bit
Serving cell criterion

Receive level >= layer HO threshold layer HO hysteresis, bit 14th is set to 0. At
the same time, bit 13th, 12th and 10th5th bits are set to 0.
If the above criterion is not met, then bit 14th is set to 1.
Example : 20-5 = 15 ( -95 dBm )
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The 14th bit: determined by Layer HO
Neighbor cell criterion
Receive level >=layer HO threshold + layer HO hysteresis, bit 14th is set to 0.
At the same time, bit 13th, 12th and 10th5th bits are set to 0
If the above criterion is not met, then bit 14th is set to 1.
Example : 20+5 = 25 ( -85 dBm )
note
The layer HO threshold and hierarchical hysteresis correspond to the value of
that individual cells value.
Usual situation : When the neighbor cells are of the same layer, each of the
neighbor cells layer HO threshold value will be the same. Same concept goes
for the layer HO hysteresis. This can maintain the entire hierarchical layers of
the cell.

The 15th bit: Bit value is decided by cell type

Serving cell or Neighbor cells:
When cell type is extension cell 1.
When cell type is normal cell 0.

Interference HO (DL&UL) :
When the receiving level > receiving threshold level. But
Receiving quality > threshold of quality interference.
Requirements for the target cell:

The target cell is in the cell list.
If Intracell HO Allowed is set to Yes and the intra-cell handover penalty

timer expires, the serving cell can be selected as the target cell.

Edge HO
Edge HO Criterion:
In N seconds, when there are P seconds that neighbor
cells DL or MSs UL signal level is lower than the Edge HO
threshold. Then the criterion is met and Edge HO occurs.
This method utilizes the P/N rule.
Requirements for the target cell:

The target cell should be ranked in front of the serving cell.
The neighbor cells should meet the P/N (Edge HO Valid

Time (s)/Edge HO Watch Time (s) criterion.

Layer HO
Layer HO criterions:
Serving cell :
No requirement.
Target cell :
Layer of the target cell is lower than the serving cell.
Receive level of the target cell > layer cell threshold + layer cell
hysteresis.
Target cell should be ranked in front of the serving cell. The priority
of target cell should be higher than the serving cells.

PBGT HO
PBGT HO Criterions :
Target cells path loss is smaller than the serving cells path loss by
the PBGT threshold value. (When the value of this parameter is smaller
than 64, handovers to a neighboring cell with a lower level than the current
serving cell are allowed.)
Satisfying the P/N rule.
Target cell should be ranked in front of the serving cell.
Note :
PBGT HO can only occur between same-priority cell. If the system
permits PBGT HO for the cell, PBGT HO can occur in either inter-
BSC or inter-MSC.
