This document discusses various parameters that affect inter-radio access technology (IRAT) transitions between UMTS and GSM networks. It outlines parameters that influence cell selection, cell reselection, handover to WCDMA, and IRAT handover. Key parameters discussed include quality thresholds, hysteresis values, time triggers, and service offsets that help optimize measurement initiation and reselections between different RATs. The document also lists advantages of using UTRAN registration areas (URA), such as reducing location area updates and paging load.
