directed retry threshold (DRT) drThresholdValor de seal en la celda adyacente. Si es menor que el umbral, no hace Ho With this parameter you define the threshold value of the signal strength in the adjacent cell for the Directed Retry procedure. If the signal strength level in the cell is lower than this threshold value, adjacent cell is not accepted as a candidate in directed retry. Range:- -110...-47 dBm Default value is -100 dBm but it is advisable to set it at -85dBm for performing directed retry in good RF condition. You may change this value in order to to improve TCH assignment success rate if there are lot of DR attempts due to blocking. 2. HO load factor (OF) hoLoadFactor Prioridad para hacer HO cuando la celda esta sobrecargada With this parameter you define how much the priority of the target cell will be decreased if the cell is overloaded. The parameter is used only for the cells under one BSC if the BSC cannot get information about the loading of other cells. Range:- 0....7 defualt:- 1 You may decrease the priority of overloaded target cell in order to reduce unnecessary HO attempt to improve HOSR and TCH drop. 3. HO margin lev (LMRG) hoMarginLev HO por degradacion o caida del nivel de seal With this parameter you define a MS rx level threshold for a handover caused by signal level. Range:- -24.....24 dafault:- 3 db If there are higher % of HO caused by UL/DL level then you may increase this parameter to 6dBm for reducing unnecessary ping pong HO attempt in weak coverage area. 4. HO margin pbgt (PMRG) hoMarginPbgtUmbral de potencias entre dos celdas para evitar ping pong de HO With this parameter you define a MS rx level threshold in the power budget process. The handover margin prevents repeated handover between adjacent cells. Range:- -24.....63 dafault:- 6 db If you need to make fast HO decisions then decrease value of this parameter from 6 to 3 or 4 dBm. 5. HO margin qual (QMRG) hoMarginQual Umbral de caida de seal DL para hacer HO por Calidad de seal With this parameter you define a MS rx level threshold for a handover caused by signal quality. Range:- -24.....24 dafault:- 3 db If there are lot of HO caused by DL qual then you may increase value of this parameter from 0 to 3 to reduce unnecessary HO attempt in weak quality.This will improve your HOSR performance. 6. RX lev min cell (SL) rxLevMinCell Minimo nivel de seal que debe tener la vecina para hacer HO With this parameter you define the minimum signal level of an adjacent cell, when a handover is allowed to one of them. Range:- -110...-47 default:- -100 dBm It is advisable to keep this parameter at -95 dBm or higher than that in order to reduce HO failures happens in weak coverage area.This will imrove your HOSR performance. 7) LLLAMR:- intra HO lower Rx level limit AMR HR (intraHoLoRxLevLimAmrHr) This parameter defines the limit for averaged uplink and downlink signal level. If averaged uplink or downlink signal level is worse than this parameter then the quality based intra cell handovers are not allowed. Range is -110 to -47 Default value is -100 dbm and recommended value is -90dBm for dense urban and -95 for semi urban or rural area. 8) ULLAMR:- intra HO upper Rx level limit AMR HR (intraHoUpRxLevLimAmrHr) This parameter defines the limit for averaged uplink and downlink signal level. If averaged uplink or downlink signal level is

better than this parameter then the quality based intra cell handovers are not allowed. Range is -110 to -47 Default value is -100 dbm and recommended value is -47dbm. 9) LQLAMR:- intra HO lower Rx qual limit AMR (intraHoLoRxQualLimAmr) This parameter defines the limit of the averaged uplink and downlink signal quality. If averaged uplink or downlink signal quality is worse than this parameter then the quality based intra cell handovers are not allowed. Range is < 0.2% (0), 0.2 - 0.4% (1), 0.4 - 0.8% (2), 0.8 - 1.6% (3), 1.6 - 3.2% (4), 3.2 - 6.4% (5), 6.4 -12.8%(6), > 12.8% (7) Default value is > 12.8% (7) but recommended value is 3.2 - 6.4% (5). Also make sure that HOC parameter IHRH is lower than LQLAMR.
