Parameter Name Description Actual Value Range
Min Interval for TCH HOs After a new TCH is assigned to an MS, the MS can be handed over to another channel only if the time during which the MS occupies the TCH is longer than the period specified by this parameter. [0,60]
GUI Value Range [0,60] Default Value Unit Step Modification Rules Configuration Policy 2 Seconds None This parameter can be used to avoid unwanted handovers due to inaccurate measurement reports in the initial phase of call establishment. If measurement reports are processed on the BTS side, you can set Report Frequency of the Preprocessed Measurement Reports smaller than the report frequency of the measurement reports from the MS. Therefore, it is recommended that Min Interval for TCH HOs be set to a small value. If measurement reports are processed on the BSC side, the frequency of receiving measurement reports on the BSC side is greater than that on the BTS side.

Penalty Allowed This parameter specifies whether to penalize the target cell where a handover fails or the serving cell where the TA is too great or the signal quality is too bad. If the target cell is congested and an incoming cell handover fails, a penalty is performed on the target cell to avoid the handover of the MS to the cell. When the TA is great or the signal quality is bad, ping-pong handovers are likely to occur. If a handover fails, a penalty should be performed on the serving cell.

Load HO Allowed
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.

GUI Value Range [No,Yes] Default Value Unit Step Modification Rules Configuration Policy NO None None In dual-band networking mode for densely populated urban areas, the level drops rapidly due to multiple barriers. The propagation loss of the 1800 MHz frequency band is greater than the propagation loss of the 900 MHz frequency band. Considering the preceding factors, you can enable the Rx_Level_Drop HO Allowed for the DCS1800 cell. Under normal conditions, this parameter is set to No. To support the rapid level drop handover, the BSC must have the original MR.

PBGT HO Allowed
Parameter Name PBGT HO Allowed Description This parameter specifies whether to enable the PBGT (POWER BUDGET) handover algorithm. Based on the path loss, the BSC uses the PBGT handover algorithm to search for a desired cell in real time and decides whether a handover should be performed. The cell must have less path loss and meet specific requirements. To avoid ping-pong handovers, the PBGT handover can be performed only on TCHs between the cells of the same layer and hierarchy. The PBGT handover cannot be performed on SDCCHs. [0,1] [No,Yes] Yes None None Huawei recommends that the PBGT handover algorithm be enabled. Proper use of PBGT handovers helps to reduce cross coverage and to avoid co-channel interference and adjacent channel interference. Yes None

When an MS makes a call at the edge of a cell, the call may drop if the receive level is too low. To avoid such a call drop, an edge handover can be performed.

Whether a BQ handover should be enabled depends on the UL and DL transmission quality (BER).

If the PBGT handover is enabled, the relevant edge handover threshold can be decreased. If the PBGT handover is not enabled and the edge handover threshold is not properly set, cross coverage, co-channel interference, and adjacent channel interference are likely to occur. The Edge HO UL RX_LEV Threshold should be adjusted based on the handover performance statistics and the actual network performance to achieve the UL/DL balance.

When an emergency handover is triggered, an inter-cell handover should be preferentially selected. An intra-cell handover, however, is triggered if no candidate cell is available and if intra-cell handovers are allowed.

Filter Parameter A1
Parameter Name Filter Parameter A1 Description This parameter is used for configuring the filter for the rapidly dropped receive level. Together with filter parameter B, it is one of the nine filter parameters. The corresponding formula is as follows (in the program, the value of A1 to A8 can be obtained by subtracting 10 from the configured value, and B is the negative value of the configured value): C1(nt) = A1 x C(nt) + A2 x C(nt-t) + A3 x C(nt-2t) ++ A8 x C(nt-7t). Where, C(nt) is the uplink RX_Level of the serving cell in the MR received at the time of nt. If C1(nt) is smaller than B, and if C(nt) is below the Edge HO RX_LEV Thrsh., then the signal level is considered to be rapid dropping. Filter parameters A1 to A8 may be smaller than or equal to 10. Parameters A1 to A8 correspond to a1 to a8 in the program, and ai = Ai-10 (i = 1-8). Therefore, among a1 to a8 in the program, there must be values smaller than or equal to 0. For example, if the receive level drops rapidly in a granularity period, you need to set A3 to A8 to 10, A1 to 0, and A2 to 20. In this case, C1(nt) = a1 x C (nt) + a2 x C(nt-t) = 10C(nt-t)-10C(nt). To trigger a rapid level drop handover, you should set C1(nt) to a value smaller than B. and then the fast level drop appears in a MR period. The formula reflects the rapid drop of the cell level in an MR. You can configure the filter to define the number of MRs used and the extent to which the level drops.

En Iuo In Cell Load Classification HO Period
Parameter Name En Iuo In Cell Load Classification HO Period Description If the channel seizure ratio of the UL subcell is lower than the En Iuo Out Cell Low Load Threshold, all the calls in the OL subcell send handover requests at the same time and the load on the BSC increases in a short time. Thus, congestion may occur in the target cell and call drops may be caused. Through the hierarchical load handover algorithm, the calls in the cell are handed over to the target cell by level. This parameter specifies the period of load handover for each level.
