eRAN
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
Based on the frequency of the target cell, intra-RAT mobility management can be classified
into intra-frequency mobility management and inter-frequency mobility management. For
details about the definition, classification, and procedures about mobility management in
connected mode, see Overview of Mobility Management in Connected Mode.

eRAN
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
Intra-Frequency Mobility Management
Intra-frequency mobility management is implemented by handovers between E-UTRAN cells
using the same frequency. A network may use the same frequency in different cells, and
therefore the eNodeB needs to support intra-frequency handovers within the network.
Inter-Frequency Mobility Management

Inter-frequency mobility management is implemented by handovers between E-UTRAN cells
using different frequencies. A network may use different frequencies in different geographical
areas, and therefore the eNodeB needs to support inter-frequency handovers within the
network.
2.2 Benefits
Intra-RAT mobility management in connected mode provides the following benefits:
l Ensures the continuity of radio network coverage and provides uninterrupted
communication services for UEs.
l Provides means to transfer UEs and supports flexible networking to meet operators'
service steering and load balancing requirements.
2.3 Architecture
For the network architecture for intra-RAT mobility management in connected mode, see
Overview of Mobility Management in Connected Mode.

eRAN
Feature Parameter Description 3 Intra-Frequency Mobility Management
3 Intra-Frequency Mobility Management
Intra-frequency mobility management is implemented through coverage-based intra-

frequency handovers. This chapter describes the basic feature LBFD-00201801 Coverage
Based Intra-frequency Handover. For details about the engineering guidelines for this feature,
see 7.1 Coverage-based Intra-Frequency Handover. The coverage-based intra-frequency
handover is enabled or disabled by the IntraFreqCoverHoSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter.
Blind handover is not supported during intra-frequency mobility management, and the
coverage-based intra-frequency handover process can be divided into the following phases:
1. Intra-frequency measurement
When a UE establishes a radio bearer, the eNodeB sends the UE the intra-frequency
measurement configuration, based on which the UE performs measurements. Then, the
UE generates a candidate cell list based on measurement results.
2. Triggering intra-frequency handovers
Intra-frequency handovers are triggered by event A3. For details, see 3.2 Triggering of
an Intra-Frequency Handover.
3. Handover decision
In the handover decision phase, the eNodeB checks the cells in the candidate cell list and
determines whether a handover needs to be initiated and, if so, to which cell the UE is to
be handed over.
4. Handover execution
In the handover execution phase, the eNodeB controls the procedure of UE handover to
the target cell.

eRAN
3.1 Intra-Frequency Measurement

If the switch for the coverage-based intra-frequency handover is turned on, the eNodeB sends
the UE the intra-frequency measurement configuration in a Measurement Configuration
message when the UE establishes a radio bearer.
Based on the measurement configuration, the UE measures all cells on the associated
frequency within the measurement scope.
After the UE enters the RRC connected mode or a handover is complete, the eNodeB checks
whether the measurement configuration for the UE needs to be updated. If yes, the eNodeB
delivers the entirely or partially updated measurement configuration to the UE through an
RRC Connection Reconfiguration message. If no, the eNodeB does not deliver updated
measurement configuration.
The Measurement Configuration message used for intra-frequency measurements contains the
measurement object information listed in Table 3-1 and measurement report information
listed in 3.2 Triggering of an Intra-Frequency Handover.

3.2 Triggering of an Intra-Frequency Handover

Event A3 indicates that the signal quality in a neighboring cell is better than that in the
serving cell. When coverage-based intra-frequency handover is enabled, the eNodeB sends
measurement configurations related to event A3 to the UE during UE radio bearer setup.
The entering and leaving conditions of event A3 are shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2. For
details about event A3, see section 5.5.4.4 "Event A3 (Neighbour becomes offset better than
PCell)" in 3GPP TS 36.331 V10.1.0.

eRAN
l Entering condition: Mn + Ofn + Ocn Hys > Ms + Ofs + Ocs + Off

After receiving an event A3 from a UE, the eNodeB makes handover decision based on
the reported candidate cell list.
l Leaving condition: Mn + Ofn + Ocn + Hys < Ms + Ofs + Ocs + Off
If the leaving condition of event A3 is met, the UE no longer reports event A3.
Figure 3-1 Event A3 triggering condition
Figure 3-2 Event A3 leaving condition
The variables in the preceding formulas are described in Table 3-2.
Assume that both Hys and Off are set to 2 dB. The eNodeB detects that the signal quality in
the source cell always drops rapidly and the signal quality in the target cell always rises
quickly in a handover.

eRAN
To facilitate intra-frequency handovers, you can set Ocs to -1 dB for the serving cell and set
Ocn to 1 dB for the target cell.
Ofs and Ofn use the same value for an intra-frequency handover. Assume that they are set to 0
dB, then the entering condition of event A3 is as follows: Mn + 0 + 1 - 2 > Ms + 0 - 1 + 2.
That is, event A3 can be triggered when the signal quality of the target cell is 2 dB higher than
that of the serving cell.

eRAN
3.3 Handover Decision

determines whether a handover needs to be initiated and, if so, to which cell the UE is to be
handed over.
The eNodeB first filters out the following cells from the candidate cell list:
l Blacklisted neighboring cells

l Neighboring cells with a handover prohibition flag
l Neighboring cells that have a different PLMN from the serving cell
If the inter-PLMN handover switch is turned on, the cell that is in an PLMN different
from the serving cell and not in the INTERPLMNHOLIST MO is filtered.
InterPlmnHoSwitch under the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter controls
the inter-PLMN handover switch.
l Forbidden neighboring cells in the areas indicated by the IE Handover Restriction List in
the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message sent from the MME
When a UE is performing VoIP services, inter-eNodeB cells that forbid VoIP handovers are
also filtered. VoipHoControlSwitch under the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies whether to enable this function.
l When this switch is turned on, cells specified by EutranVoipHoBlkList are filtered
when a UE is performing VoIP services.
l When this switch is turned off, cells specified by EutranVoipHoBlkList are not filtered
when a UE is performing VoIP services.
The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter indicates whether the VoIP

services are allowed in the E-UTRAN cell.
l When this switch is turned on, VoIP services are allowed in the E-UTRAN cell, which
means that the establishment, handover in, admission, and reestablishment of VoIP
services are allowed.
l When this switch is turned off, VoIP services are not allowed in the E-UTRAN cell,
which means that the establishment, handover in, admission, and reestablishment of
VoIP services are not allowed.
NOTE
Assume that eNodeB1 cells are neighboring cells of eNodeB2. It is recommended that eNodeB1 cells be
added to the EutranVoipHoBlkList parameter of eNodeB2 if eNodeB1 forbids VoIP service handover
in. Otherwise, the handover attempt fails.
The eNodeB then sends a handover request to the target cell at the top of the candidate cell
list. If the handover request fails, the eNodeB sends the handover request to the next target
cell.
A cell with the best signal quality (as indicated in the measurement result) has the highest
priority. If the measurement result of an intra-eNodeB cell is the same as that of an inter-
eNodeB cell, the eNodeB assigns the intra-eNodeB cell a higher priority to avoid signaling
and data forwarding required in an inter-eNodeB handover.
If the handover preparation fails, the eNodeB initiates a handover attempt to the next best cell
in the candidate cell list. If the eNodeB has tried all cells indicated in the measurement report

eRAN
but failed to perform a handover, the eNodeB waits for the next measurement report from the
UE.

After making a handover decision, the eNodeB initiates a handover towards the best cell in
the filtered candidate cell list.
During an intra-frequency handover, the eNodeB sends handover requests and forwards data
through the X2 or S1 interface adaptively.
l If the handover succeeds, the target eNodeB (in an X2-based handover) or the MME (in
an S1-based handover) sends a Release message to the source eNodeB after data
forwarding is complete. The source eNodeB then releases related resources.
l If the handover fails, the UE performs a cell selection procedure and then initiates an
RRC connection reestablishment procedure towards the selected cell. For details about
the retry and penalty mechanism upon air interface handover failure, see Overview of
Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
If the handover admission fails, the eNodeB initiates a handover attempt to the next best cell
in the candidate cell list. For details about the retry and penalty mechanism, see Overview of
Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
3.5 Signaling Procedures
3.5.1 Procedure of a Successful Handover

This section describes the signaling procedure of a successful intra-MME (with X2 interfaces)
inter-eNodeB handover, as shown in Figure 3-3.

eRAN
Figure 3-3 Signaling procedure of a successful intra-MME inter-eNodeB handover
1. When the UE establishes a radio bearer, the source eNodeB sends the UE an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration message that contains the measurement configuration,
which controls the measurements of the UE in RRC connected mode.
2. The UE sends measurement reports to the source eNodeB based on the measurement
results.
3. The source eNodeB makes a handover decision based on the measurement reports.
4. After deciding that a handover is to be performed, the source eNodeB sends a Handover
Request message to the target eNodeB, requesting the target eNodeB to prepare for the
handover.
5. The target eNodeB makes admission decisions. If resources can be granted by the target
eNodeB, the target eNodeB performs admission control depending on the QoS
information about the Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer.
6. The target eNodeB prepares layer 1 and layer 2 resources for the handover and then
sends a Handover Request Acknowledge message to the source eNodeB.
7. The source eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message that
contains the MobilityControlInfo IE, indicating that the handover should start.
NOTE
Data forwarding starts when the source eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message that contains the MobilityControlInfo IE.
8. The UE performs a random access procedure towards the target eNodeB for uplink
synchronization with the target eNodeB.

eRAN
9. After successfully accessing the target cell, the UE sends the target eNodeB an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration Complete message, indicating that the handover procedure
is complete. Subsequently, the target eNodeB can start sending data to the UE.
10. The downlink data path switching is performed.
11. The target eNodeB sends the source eNodeB a UE Context Release message to inform
the source eNodeB of a handover success and to trigger the resource release at the source
eNodeB.
12. After receiving the UE Context Release message, the source eNodeB releases the radio
and control-plane resources associated with the UE context.
Intra-frequency mobility management is applicable to intra-eNodeB handovers, intra-MME
inter-eNodeB handovers, and inter-MME inter-eNodeB handovers. For either of the latter two
handover types, the signaling procedure varies depending on whether the X2 interface is
available between the eNodeBs.
l In the case of an intra-MME handover between eNodeBs where the X2 interface is
unavailable, the signaling and the data forwarding between the two eNodeBs as shown in
Figure 3-3 are implemented over the S1 interface.
l In the case of an inter-MME handover between eNodeBs where the X2 interface is
unavailable, the signaling and the data forwarding between the two eNodeBs as shown in
Figure 3-3 are implemented over the S1 interface and Evolved Packet Core network
(EPC), which is an indirect route compared with the route over the X2 interface.
l In the case of an inter-MME handover between eNodeBs where the X2 interface is
available, the signaling between the two eNodeBs as shown in Figure 3-3 is
implemented through the S1 interface and EPC, which is an indirect route compared with
the route over the X2 interface. In addition, the data forwarding between them is
implemented over the X2 interface.
3.5.2 Procedure of RRC Connection Reestablishment After a

Handover Failure
After a handover fails, the UE performs a cell selection procedure and then initiates a
procedure of RRC connection reestablishment towards the selected cell. The RRC connection
can be reestablished successfully only when the selected cell is a prepared cell (cell with UE
contexts).
The RRC connection reestablishment procedure is different in successful RRC
reestablishment and failed RRC reestablishment.
l A successful reestablishment procedure, as shown in Figure 3-4, consists of the
following steps:
1. The UE sends an RRC Connection Reestablishment Request message to the eNodeB to
which the prepared cell belongs, to request the reestablishment of the RRC connection.
2. The eNodeB responds with an RRC Connection Reestablishment message, indicating
that it has accepted the request.
3. The UE performs the RRC connection reestablishment and sends an RRC Connection
Reestablishment Complete message.

eRAN
Figure 3-4 Successful RRC connection reestablishment procedure
l If the RRC connection reestablishment fails, the UE enters the idle mode. A failed
reestablishment procedure, as shown in Figure 3-5, consists of the following steps:
1. The UE sends an RRC Connection Reestablishment Request message to the eNodeB to
which the prepared cell belongs, to request the reestablishment of the RRC connection.
2. The eNodeB responds with an RRC Connection Reestablishment Reject message,
indicating that it rejects the request.

Feature Parameter Description 4 Inter-Frequency Mobility Management
4 Inter-Frequency Mobility Management
Inter-frequency mobility management can be implemented in different manners. This section

describes the following features/functions:
l LBFD-00201802 Coverage Based Inter-frequency Handover
l LBFD-00201805 Service Based Inter-frequency Handover
l LBFD-00201804 Distance Based Inter-Frequency Handover
l UL-quality-based inter-frequency handover
l Frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover
The triggering condition for each feature or function is different, and the mobility
management can mainly be divided into the following phases:
1. Target cell/frequency selection
For a measurement, the eNodeB generates a candidate cell list based on inter-RAT
measurement results.
For a blind handover, the eNodeB selects a blind handover target based on the blind
handover priority or frequency priority of neighboring cells.
2. Handover decision
In the handover decision phase, the eNodeB checks the candidate cell list. Based on the
check result, the eNodeB determines whether a handover needs to be initiated and, if so,
to which cell the UE is to be handed over.
3. Handover execution
In the handover execution phase, the eNodeB controls the procedure of UE handover to
the target cell.

4.1 Coverage-based Inter-Frequency Handover

This section describes the basic feature LBFD-00201802 Coverage Based Inter-frequency
Handover. For details about the engineering guidelines for this feature, see 7.2 Coverage-
based Inter-Frequency Handover. The coverage-based inter-frequency handover is enabled
or disabled by the switch InterFreqCoverHoSwitch under the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter.
During a coverage-based inter-frequency handover, measurements or blind handover can be

triggered and stopped by different events, as shown in Table 4-1.

The eNodeB delivers measurement configuration for event A2 for inter-frequency

measurement or event A2 for blind handover as follows:
l If the UE is in RRC-connected mode, the eNodeB delivers measurement configuration

for both event A2 for inter-frequency measurement and event A2 for blind handover.
If the signal quality in the serving cell is lower than the specified threshold, the UE
reports event A2 for inter-frequency measurement. After receiving the report, the
eNodeB delivers an inter-frequency measurement configuration.
If the signal quality in the serving cell further deteriorates and the eNodeB does not
perform a handover for the UE, the UE reports event A2 for blind handover. After
receiving the report, the eNodeB considers that the serving cell can no longer
provide services for the UE and performs a blind handover.
l In the following scenarios, the eNodeB delivers measurement configuration for event A2
only for blind handover:
The InterFreqHoA2OptSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoSignalingOptSwitch parameter is selected, and the UE
does not support inter-frequency measurements.
The configured event A2 threshold for inter-frequency measurements is less than or
equal to that for blind handover.

eRAN
4.1.1 Triggering and Stopping of Inter-Frequency Measurement

Inter-frequency measurements are triggered by event A2 and stopped by event A1.
During a coverage-based inter-frequency handover, the sequence that the measurement
configuration for events A1 and A2 is sent is controlled by the
ReduceInvalidA1A2RptSigSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoSignalingOptSwitch parameter.
l If the option is selected, the eNodeB sends measurement configuration for event A2
when the UE sets up an RRC connection, and sends measurement configuration for event
A1 after it receives an event A2 from the UE. This reduces the reporting of invalid event
A1. Figure 4-1 shows inter-frequency measurement based on event A4/A5. Figure 4-3
shows inter-frequency measurement based on event A3.
l If the option is deselected, the eNodeB sends measurement configuration for both event
A2 and event A1 when the UE sets up an RRC connection. Figure 4-2 shows inter-
frequency measurement based on event A4/A5. Figure 4-4 shows inter-frequency
measurement based on event A3.
It is recommended that the ReduceInvalidA1A2RptSigSwitch option and the
RsvdSwPara3_bit4 option of the eNBRsvdPara.RsvdSwPara3 parameter be selected on the
live network. When IntraRatHoComm.InterFreqHoA1A2TrigQuan is set to BOTH, as
shown in Figure 4-1, the inter-frequency measurement procedure is as follows:
During the triggering and stopping of measurements, RSRP- and RSRQ-based procedures are
mutually independent. This prevents premature event A1 delivering and invalid event A1
reporting. In addition, this prevents the delivering of invalid event A1 contents. When an
RSRP-triggered event A2 is received, RSRP-based measurement is triggered irrespective of
whether there is RSRQ-based measurement. When RSRP-triggered event A1 is received,
RSRP-based measurement is stopped.

Event A2 for Target-based Measurement

Huawei eNodeBs allow different event A2 parameters to be set for target FDD and TDD
frequencies so that coverage-based handovers can be preferentially triggered for FDD or TDD
frequencies.
The variables Ms and Hys for event A2 for target-based measurement are the same as those
for event A2 for inter-frequency measurement. Table 4-5 lists the thresholds related to event
A2 for target-based measurement.

The eNodeB delivers measurement configurations for event A2 for target-based measurement
as follows:
l If the FDD and TDD threshold offsets are set to different values, the eNodeB delivers
two measurement configurations for events A2, with one corresponding to an FDD
frequency and the other corresponding to a TDD frequency. After a UE reports an event
A2 related to a frequency, the eNodeB delivers the measurement configuration of the
related frequency.
l If the FDD and TDD threshold offsets are set to the same value, the eNodeB delivers one
measurement configuration for event A2, without distinguishing between the FDD and
TDD frequencies. After a UE reports an event A2, the eNodeB delivers two
measurement configurations, one for the FDD frequency and the other for the TDD
frequency.
Pay attention to the following points related to event A2 for target-based measurement:
l If only either of the offset is set to -100, the inter-frequency measurement of an FDD or
TDD frequency is not triggered.
l If both offset values are set to -100, the effect is the same as those set to 0. In this case,
the eNodeB sends an inter-frequency event A2, with the threshold set to the event A2
threshold value.
l If the calculated RSRP threshold is lower than the protocol-specified minimum value,
the protocol-specified minimum value is used as the RSRP threshold.
l If the calculated RSRP threshold is higher than the protocol-specified maximum value,
the protocol-specified maximum value is used as the RSRP threshold.

l The FixedMeasObjIDSwitch option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter specifies the frequency priority
for UEs without voice bearers. The eNodeB selects the frequencies for measurement in
descending order of frequency priority till the number of selected frequencies reaches the
maximum. If the number of frequencies for measurement exceeds the maximum after the
frequencies mapping a priority are selected, the eNodeB randomly selects frequencies
with this priority till the number of selected priorities reaches the maximum.

eRAN
When this option is deselected, the frequency priority is determined by the

EutranInterNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher
priority. The eNodeB selects the frequencies for measurement in descending order
of frequency priority till the number of selected frequencies reaches the maximum.
When this option is selected, the frequency priority is determined by the
EutranInterNFreq.MeasFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher
priority. The eNodeB sets measurement object IDs based on frequency priorities to
control the UE's actual measurement priorities. This ensures that the UE
preferentially reports the measurement reports on high-priority frequencies.
l The VoipMeasFreqPriSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter specifies the frequency priority
for UEs with voice bearers.
When this option is selected, the frequency priority is determined by the
EutranInterNFreq.VoipPriority parameter. A larger value of this parameter
indicates a higher priority. The eNodeB selects the frequencies with the highest
priority for the UE. If the number of frequencies with the highest priority exceeds
the maximum, the eNodeB randomly selects frequencies from these frequencies.
When this option is deselected, the frequency priorities of VoIP UEs are the same as
those of non-VoIP UEs.
l The eNodeB delivers information about a cell for measurement only if the cell individual
offset (CIO) of the cell is not set to the default value (0 dB). The measurement priority of
an inter-frequency neighboring cell is determined by the combination of the high bit and
low bit specified by the EutranInterFreqNCell.CellMeasPriority and
EutranInterFreqNCell.CellIndividualOffset parameters, respectively.
l For details about the maximum number of frequencies and the maximum number of
neighboring cells, see Overview of Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
4.1.3 Inter-Frequency Handover Triggering

When receiving event A2 that triggers inter-frequency measurement, the eNodeB sends
related inter-frequency handover events. Coverage-based inter-frequency handovers can be
triggered by event A3, A4, or A5. The EutranInterNFreq.InterFreqHoEventType parameter
specifies which event triggers coverage-based inter-frequency handovers.
NOTE
l When Thresh1 of event A5 is less than or equal to the threshold of blind handover event A2, the
eNodeB does not deliver measurement configuration for event A5.
l If carrier aggregation (CA) is enabled and the EutranInterNFreq.InterFreqHoEventType
parameter is set to EventA4(EventA4), the eNodeB will send a measurement configuration for
event A5 to trigger an inter-frequency measurement when a CA UE reports an event A2 in the
primary serving cell (PCell). For details, see Carrier Aggregation.
When event A3 is received, or when events A4 and A5 are received and

IntraRatHoComm.InterFreqHoA4RprtQuan is not set to BOTH, handover is triggered
after the event is received.
When events A4 and A5 are received and IntraRatHoComm.InterFreqHoA4RprtQuan is
set to BOTH, handover is triggered only after the two groups of measurement quantities meet
the following condition: Mn + Ofn + Ocn + Hys Thresh.

4.1.4 Blind Handover
Triggering and Stopping of Blind Handover

The eNodeB can deliver a measurement configuration related to event A2 for blind handover
if the signal quality of the serving cell deteriorates to a specified level but the UE has not yet
been handed over. The eNodeB also delivers the measurement configuration related to event
A1 to stop blind handover when the signal quality in the serving cell does not further
deteriorate.
l The eNodeB records the reports of event A2 for blind handover during handover and
handles them if the handover preparation fails.
l If the eNodeB receives a report of event A1 used to stop a blind handover from the UE
before blind handover is completed, the eNodeB stops performing blind handover.
If the EmcInterFreqBlindHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch

parameter is selected, the eNodeB performs a blind handover procedure for coverage-based
inter-frequency handover. The eNodeB selects an inter-frequency target cell when the UE
sends a report of event A2 for blind handover.

Event A2 for blind handover can be used to trigger both coverage-based inter-frequency blind
redirection and inter-RAT blind handover. Coverage-based inter-frequency blind redirection
and inter-RAT blind handover share the same thresholds related to event A2. The working
principles for event A2 for coverage-based inter-frequency blind redirection and inter-RAT
blind handover are similar. For details about event A2 for inter-RAT blind handover, see
Inter-RAT Mobility Management in Connected Mode.
Target Selection
Figure 4-9 shows the target selection process for blind handover. The related parameters are
described as follows:
l In coverage-based inter-frequency blind handover, target cells must be the neighboring

cells whose EutranInterFreqNCell.BlindHoPriority is set to a value within the range
of 1 to 16. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
l The eNodeB preferentially selects a frequency with the highest priority for the
redirection. The frequency priority is specified by the
EutranInterNFreq.ConnFreqPriority parameter. A larger value indicates a higher
priority. When this parameter is set to 0, the frequency is not selected for redirection.

eRAN
Figure 4-9 Target selection process for blind handover
For a coverage-based blind handover, E-UTRAN TDD and E-UTRAN FDD are considered as
two independent systems, and the CnOperatorHoCfg.FirstRatPri and
CnOperatorHoCfg.SecondRatPri parameters specify the priorities of E-UTRAN TDD and
E-UTRAN FDD.
l If the CnOperatorHoCfg.FirstRatPri parameter is set to EUTRAN, E-UTRAN TDD

and E-UTRAN FDD are not prioritized.
l If the CnOperatorHoCfg.SecondRatPri parameter is set to NULL, blind handover are
performed only to frequencies of the network specified by the
CnOperatorHoCfg.FirstRatPri parameter.
4.2 Service-based Inter-Frequency Handover

This section describes the basic feature LBFD-00201805 Service Based Inter-frequency
Handover. For details about the engineering guidelines for this feature, see 7.3 Service-based
Inter-Frequency Handover.
Service-based inter-frequency handover is controlled by the following options and is activated

for the corresponding cell only when both options are selected. Otherwise, service-based
inter-frequency handover cannot be activated.
l Option 1: ServiceBasedInterFreqHoSwitch of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch

Based on the QCIs of the services that are running on a UE, the eNodeB can divert the UE to
one or certain appropriate co-coverage E-UTRAN frequencies by means of a service-based
inter-frequency handover to implement service steering.
Table 4-17 describes events for triggering/stopping measurement and handover during a
service-based inter-frequency handover. Blind handover is not applied to service-based inter-
frequency handover.

handover

To implement service-based inter-frequency handovers, operators need to configure service-
based inter-frequency handover policies. Since the services of each operator are classified by
QCIs, each QCI can be associated with a service-based inter-frequency handover policy so
that the frequency group specified by the policy preferentially carries the services with this
QCI. The neighbor relationships corresponding to the different frequencies must be
configured. The eNodeB triggers a service-based inter-frequency handover for a UE based on
the highest-priority QCI of the services running on the UE.
1. Set the service-based inter-frequency handover policy in the ServiceIfHoCfgGroup
MO. Set the service-based inter-frequency handover policy (specified by the
ServiceIfHoCfgGroup.InterFreqHoState parameter) for a downlink frequency
(specified by the ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcn parameter) to PERMIT_HO.
2. Associate a QCI (specified by CnOperatorStandardQci.Qci or
ExtendedQci.ExtendedQci) with the service-based inter-frequency handover policy.
3. If the UE performs services with this QCI, which has the highest priority, and the
frequency of the serving cell of the UE is not within the target frequency range expected
to carry the services, the eNodeB delivers event A4 measurement configuration. Then,
the UE measures the frequency or frequency group with the highest priority in the target
frequency group (specified by the
SERVICEIFDLEARFCNGRP.ServiceHoFreqPriority parameter).
If the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.ServiceHoMultiTargetFreqSw parameter is set to ON, services in
a service group can be transferred to different E-UTRAN frequencies specified in the
ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp MO. When this parameter is set to OFF, services in a service group
can be transferred only to the frequency with an index (specified by
ServiceIfDlEarfcnGrp.DlEarfcnIndex) of 0.
The QCI priority is specified by the CellStandardQci.QciPriorityForHo parameter. A
smaller value indicates a higher priority.
If the configurations for QCI priorities are the same, handover parameter selection is based on
the QCI priority specified in 3GPP. For details, see section 6.1.7 "Standardized QoS
characteristics" in 3GPP TS 23.203 V10.3.0, as listed in Table 4-18.

Before delivering the measurement configuration related to event A4, the eNodeB checks
whether the measurement gap has been activated. If the measurement gap has been activated
and includes other measurement gaps, the eNodeB does not reconfigure the measurement gap.
Otherwise, the eNodeB activates the measurement gap.
If a UE has performed gap-assisted measurements for a service-based inter-frequency
handover for a period of time (internally set to 3s) but fails to trigger such a handover, the
eNodeB will stop the service-based inter-frequency measurements.
Parameters in the measurement configuration for service-based inter-frequency measurement
are the same as those for coverage-based inter-RAT measurement. For details, see 4.1.2 Inter-
Frequency Measurement.

Service-based inter-frequency handovers can be triggered by event A4. Working principles of
event A4 for triggering service-based inter-frequency handovers are the same as those of
event A4 for triggering coverage-based inter-frequency handovers. For details, see 4.1.3.2
Event A4.
All parameters (other than thresholds) for event A4 that triggers service-based inter-frequency
handovers are the same as those for event A4 that triggers coverage-based inter-frequency
handovers. Table 4-19 lists the thresholds related to event A4 that triggers service-based inter-
frequency handovers.

For details, see 4.1.3.2 Event A4.
When a service-based event A4 measurement report is sent, the eNodeB checks the handover
history of the UE if the service corresponding to the QCI allowed for handover is interrupted.
l If the target frequency for the handover is the same as the frequency of the cell where the
UE is previously located, the handover is not performed to prevent ping-pong handovers.
l Otherwise, the eNodeB triggers service-based inter-frequency handover for the UE.
4.3 Distance-based Inter-Frequency Handover

This section describes the basic feature LBFD-00201804 Distance Based Inter-frequency
Handover. For details about the engineering guidelines for this feature, see 7.4 Distance-
based Inter-Frequency Handover. The CellAlgoSwitch.DistBasedHoSwitch parameter
specifies whether to enable distance-based inter-frequency handover.
Distance-based inter-frequency handover can be triggered only when the

DistBasedHO.DistBasedMeasObjType parameter is set to EUTRAN.
Distance-based inter-frequency handover applies in multi-band hybrid networks where cells

on a certain band cover relatively large areas and overshoot coverage occurs while neighbor
relations are missing.
As shown in Figure 4-10, band F1 is used to cover the urban area and band F2 is used to
cover the suburban area. If there are few obstacles in the overlapping area between the urban
area and the suburban area, the RF signals from an F1 cell may be able to travel a long
distance (typically three times the distance between sites), causing overshoot coverage to an
F2 cell. The triangle area in the UE moving direction indicates overshoot coverage.
As there are restrictions on number of cells between two neighboring cells, Cell D cannot be
configured as a neighboring cell of Cell A. However, because of overshoot coverage of Cell
A, coverage-based handover conditions are not met when the UE moves from Cell A to Cell
B and Cell C. Therefore, the UE cannot trigger coverage-based inter-frequency handover in
Cell B and Cell C. When the UE reaches Cell D and moves out of the overshoot coverage
area, service drops will occur because of the missing neighbor relationship. When distance-
based inter-frequency handover is enabled, the UE can be handed over to Cell B or Cell C in
time to avoid service drop. The deviation in the estimated distance between the UE and
eNodeB is about 100 to 150 meters.

eRAN
NOTE
Obtaining the distance between the UE and the eNodeB is dependent on the uplink timing advance (TA).
The eNodeB measures the TA of a UE and sends the TA value to the UE through a timing advance
command.The TA accuracy is 16 Ts.
Ts is the minimum time unit at the physical layer in LTE. The formula for calculating Ts is as follows: Ts
= 1/(15000 x 2048)s = 32.55 ns.
The formula for calculating the distance in a distance-based inter-frequency handover is as follows: 16
Ts/2 x Radio transmitting speed. That is, 16 x 32.55 ns /2 x 3 x 10^8 m/s = 78.12 m.

handover

Distance-based inter-frequency handovers are triggered by the eNodeB based on the distance
between the eNodeB and the UE.
The eNodeB keeps monitoring the distance to all UEs. Upon detecting that the measured
distance to a UE exceeds the threshold specified by the DistBasedHO.DistBasedHOThd
parameter for 10 seconds (which is a fixed value), the eNodeB delivers the measurement
configuration for event A4 to the UE.
While the measurements for a distance-based inter-frequency handover are being taken, if the
eNodeB detects that the reported TA value does not meet DistBasedHO.DistBasedHOThd
for 10 seconds, the measurements are immediately stopped.

Parameters in the measurement configuration for distance-based inter-frequency measurement
are the same as those for coverage-based inter-frequency measurement. For details, see 4.1.2

4.4 UL-Quality-based Inter-Frequency Handover

Handover. UL-quality-based inter-frequency handover can be enabled by the
UlQualityInterFreqHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch parameter.
A UL-quality-based inter-frequency handover prevents service drops caused by deteriorated
uplink quality.

Triggering of Blind Handover

If the uplink quality for the UE further deteriorates and meets all the following conditions, the
eNodeB considers that service drops may occur due to the poor uplink quality. In this
situation, the eNodeB performs blind handover for the UE.
l The uplink MCS index is smaller than the CELLHOPARACFG.UlBadQualHoMcsThd

as that of coverage-based inter-frequency blind handover. For details, see 4.1.4 Blind

4.5 Frequency-Priority-based Inter-Frequency Handover

This section describes frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover. For details about
the engineering guidelines of this feature, see 7.6 Frequency-Priority-based Inter-
Frequency Handover. The FreqPriorIFHOSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.FreqPriorityHoSwitch parameter controls whether to enable frequency-
priority-based inter-frequency handover.

eRAN
When the VoipMeasFreqPriSwitch option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter is selected, frequency-priority-based
inter-frequency handover can be enabled only for UEs that do not carry voice services.
When the MlbBasedFreqPriHoSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.FreqPriorityHoSwitch
parameter is selected, the eNodeB stops performing frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
handovers on a cell when detecting that the cell triggers MLB. For details about MLB
triggering conditions, see Intra-RAT Mobility Load Balancing Feature Parameter
Description.
If all the neighboring cells are in the MLB-triggering status, the eNodeB does not trigger the
frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover for the source cell. For details about MLB
triggering conditions, see Intra-RAT Mobility Load Balancing Feature Parameter
Description.
Frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handovers apply to the following scenarios:
l It is recommended that the A2BasedFreqPriHoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.FreqPriorityHoSwitch parameter be deselected in multi-band same-
coverage networking scenarios. When cells on a low band (for example, 900 MHz) and a
high band (for example, 1800 MHz) have the same coverage, a frequency-priority-based
inter-frequency handover can be performed to preferentially carry services in the high
band while sparing the low band for continuous coverage. Figure 4-11 shows frequency-
priority-based inter-frequency handover.

Table 4-24 lists the triggering and stopping conditions for triggering/stopping

Events A1 and A2 are respectively used for triggering and stopping measurement and
blind handover. When the eNodeB receives an event A1 report, blind handover or inter-
frequency measurement is triggered as follows:
Blind handover is triggered if it has been enabled by selecting the
FreqPriorIFBlindHOSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.FreqPriorityHoSwitch parameter.
If blind handover is not enabled, the eNodeB delivers a measurement configuration
for event A4 to trigger inter-frequency measurement.
l It is recommended that the A2BasedFreqPriHoSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.FreqPriorityHoSwitch parameter be selected in multi-band different-
coverage networking scenarios. When the bands with different bandwidth have different
coverage, a frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover can be performed so that
the band with higher bandwidth carries services when the network load is light.
Table 4-25 lists the triggering and stopping conditions for triggering/stopping
measurement and handover during a frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover
in this scenario.

A2 does not support blind handover.

In the multi-band same-coverage networking scenario, during frequency-priority-based inter-
frequency measurement, the sequence that the measurement configuration of events A1 and
A2 for triggering and stopping inter-frequency measurements is sent is controlled by the
ReduceInvalidA1A2EventRptSigSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoSignalingOptSwitch parameter.
l If the option is selected, the eNodeB sends measurement configuration for event A1
when the UE sets up an RRC connection, and sends measurement configuration for event
A2 after it receives an event A1 from the UE. This reduces the reporting of invalid event
A2.
l If the option is deselected, the eNodeB sends measurement configuration for both event
A2 and event A1 when the UE sets up an RRC connection.
Triggering of Inter-Frequency Measurement

When frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover is enabled, the eNodeB delivers the
event for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency measurement in the following scenarios:
l When the VoipMeasFreqPriSwitch option of the

CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter is deselected, the eNodeB
delivers event A1 when the initial UE context is established.
CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB delivers
event A1 as follows:
For UEs without voice bearers, the eNodeB delivers event A1 when the initial UE
context is established.
For UEs with voice bearers, the eNodeB delivers event A1 when the UE releases
the voice bearers.
In the multi-band same-coverage networking scenario, event A1 is used as the triggering

condition. Working principles of event A1 for triggering frequency-priority-based inter-
frequency measurement is the same as those of event A1 for triggering coverage-based inter-
frequency measurement. Parameters (other than those for thresholds and triggering quantity)
in the measurement configuration for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency measurement
are the same as those for coverage-based inter-frequency measurement. For details, see

Stopping of Inter-Frequency Measurement

In the multi-band same-coverage networking scenario, the eNodeB stops delivering the inter-
frequency measurement configuration in the following scenarios:

CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter is deselected and the eNodeB
receives an event A2 report for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency measurement,
the eNodeB stops event A1 for triggering frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
measurement.
CellAlgoSwitch.MultiFreqPriControlSwitch parameter is selected, the eNodeB stops
event A1 as follows:
For UEs without voice bearers, inter-frequency measurement stops when the
eNodeB receives event A2 for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
measurement.
For UEs that intend to perform voice services, inter-frequency measurement stops
when the UEs set up voice bearers.
Working principles of event A2 for stopping frequency-priority-based inter-frequency

measurement is the same as those of event A2 for stopping coverage-based inter-frequency
measurement. Parameters (other than those for thresholds and triggering quantity) in the
measurement configuration for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency measurement are the

same as those for coverage-based inter-frequency measurement. For details, see 4.1.1.1 Event

The triggering quantity for event A2
for frequency-priority-based inter-
frequency measurement is the same as
that for event A1 for frequency-
priority-based inter-frequency
measurement.
In the multi-band different-coverage networking scenario, if a UE has performed gap-assisted

measurements for a period of time (internally set to 3s) but fails to receive the corresponding
measurement report, the eNodeB stops the inter-frequency measurement.
When the VoipMeasFreqPriSwitch option of the

Parameters (other than parameter for frequency selection) in the measurement configuration
for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency measurement are the same as those for coverage-
based inter-frequency measurement. For details, see 4.1.2 Inter-Frequency Measurement.
The EutranInterNFreq.FreqPriBasedHoMeasFlag parameter specifies the measurement
flag for a frequency for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency measurement.
l If EutranInterNFreq.FreqPriBasedHoMeasFlag is set to ENABLE(Enable), the
frequency is a target frequency for frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
measurement. If the number of target frequencies to be measured exceeds the maximum
number allowed by 3GPP specifications, the eNodeB contains random frequencies in the
l If EutranInterNFreq.FreqPriBasedHoMeasFlag is set to DISABLE(Disable), the
selected inter-frequency neighboring cells must have a frequency priority ranging from
17 to 32. Only the frequencies of these cells are measured. The frequency priority is set
by the EutranInterFreqNCell.BlindHoPriority parameter. If the number of target
frequencies to be measured exceeds the maximum number allowed by 3GPP
specifications, the eNodeB sorts the frequencies according to the value of the
EutranInterFreqNCell.BlindHoPriority parameter and selects the frequencies of the
neighboring cells with high priorities.

Frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handovers can be triggered by event A4. Working
principles of event A4 for triggering frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handovers are
the same as those of event A4 for triggering coverage-based inter-frequency handovers. For
details, see 4.1.3.2 Event A4.
Parameters related to event A4 that triggers frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
handovers are the same as those related to event A4 that triggers service-based inter-
frequency handovers. For details, see Table 4-29.

Triggering and Stopping of Blind Handover
Blind handover is triggered when the eNodeB receives an event A1 report from a UE and
blind handover is enabled. Blind handover is enabled when the FreqPriorIFBlindHOSwitch
switch under the CellAlgoSwitch.FreqPriorityHoSwitch parameter is turned on.
Target Selection
The target selection process of frequency-priority-based inter-frequency blind handover is the
same as that of coverage-based inter-frequency blind handover. For details, see 4.1.4 Blind
Handover.
In frequency-priority-based blind handover, the target inter-frequency neighboring cell must
have a blind-handover priority ranging from 17 to 32. The frequency priority is set by the
EutranInterFreqNCell.BlindHoPriority parameter.
If an inter-frequency neighboring cell is not configured with a blind-handover priority, the
subsequent processing depends on the setting of the
EutranInterNFreq.FreqPriBasedHoMeasFlag parameter.
l If EutranInterNFreq.FreqPriBasedHoMeasFlag is set to ENABLE(Enable),
measurement is performed. The frequency of the neighboring cell is a target frequency. If
the number of target frequencies to be measured exceeds the maximum number allowed
by 3GPP specifications, the eNodeB contains random frequencies in the measurement
configuration.
l If EutranInterNFreq.FreqPriBasedHoMeasFlag is set to DISABLE(Disable),
measurement is not performed.
4.6 Handover Decision

determines whether a handover needs to be initiated and, if so, to which cell the UE is to be
handed over.
The candidate cell list varies according to handover type.
l The candidate cell list generated for coverage-based inter-frequency handovers is
controlled by the CellAlgoSwitch.CovBasedInterFreqHoMode parameter.
This parameter has three values: HANDOVERIMMEDIATELY,
BASEDONSIGNALSTRENGTH, and BASEDONFREQPRIORITY. Figure 4-12

eRAN
shows the candidate cell list generation procedure when parameter configurations are
different.
l For other inter-frequency handovers, the candidate cell list is generated based on the
measurement report.
Figure 4-12 Candidate cell list generation procedure for coverage-based inter-frequency
handover
As shown in Figure 4-12, the IntraRatHoComm.CovBasedIfHoWaitingTimer parameter

specifies the timer for candidate cell list generation during coverage-based inter-frequency
handovers.
l When the timer is set to 0, handover decision is started after candidate cell list is
generated according to measurement report.
l In frequency-priority-based handover mode, after the timer expires, the eNodeB
performs handover attempt according to the frequency priority sequence specified in the
measurement report. If there are frequencies with the same priority, a random frequency
is selected for handover attempt.

eRAN
NOTE
Frequency-priority-based handover mode refers to the handover-waiting mode used in the

coverage-based inter-frequency handover procedure. Specifically, the eNodeB sorts measurement
reports based on the frequency priority.
If all the cells fail after the handover attempt is complete, the eNodeB waits until the UE
sends the next measurement report. After receiving the measurement report, the eNodeB no
longer starts the timer to wait but performs handover decision immediately.
4.6.1 Target Decision

In the handover decision phase, the eNodeB filters cells in the candidate cell list based on cell
load status. Then, the eNodeB determines whether a handover needs to be initiated and, if so,
the handover sequence.
Basic Handover Decision

The eNodeB first filters out the following cells from the candidate cell list:
l Blacklisted neighboring cells
l Neighboring cells with a handover prohibition flag
l Cells that have a different PLMN from the serving cell in the neighboring cell list
If the inter-PLMN handover function is enabled and the enhancement of SPID-
based HPLMN handover function is disabled, the cell that is in a PLMN different
from the serving cell and not in the InterPlmnHoList MO is filtered. If both the
inter-PLMN handover and enhancement of SPID-based HPLMN handover
functions are enabled, the UE is allowed to be handed over to the configured
HPLMN roaming-allowed cells that are also configured in the InterPlmnHoList
MO. The InterPlmnHoSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter controls inter-PLMN handover. The
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.SpidSelectPlmnAlgoSwitch parameter controls the
enhancement of SPID-based HPLMN handover. For details, see Flexible User
Steering Feature Parameter Description.
If the equivalent PLMN switch is turned on, the inter-PLMN list can include the
EPLMN list. The EPlmnSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies the equivalent PLMN switch.
l Forbidden neighboring cells in the areas indicated by the IE Handover Restriction List in
the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message sent from the MME
When a UE is performing VoLTE services, cells that forbid VoLTE handovers are also
filtered. The VoipHoControlSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoAlgoSwitch
parameter specifies whether to enable this function.
l When this switch is turned on, cells specified by EutranVoipHoBlkList are filtered
when a UE is performing VoLTE services.
l When this switch is turned off, cells specified by EutranVoipHoBlkList are not filtered
when a UE is performing VoLTE services.
Load Decision
If the handover target cell is an intra-site cell, the source cell checks the load status of the
target cells. If any operator's target cell is in the load balancing status, the cell is not selected
as a candidate cell. For details about the load status of the target cell, see MLB.

eRAN
When the InterFreqMlbSwitch option of the CellAlgoSwitch.MlbAlgoSwitch parameter is

turned on, whether inter-frequency handover based on frequency priority is triggered is
determined by cell load status. The ReduceInvalidFreqPriHoSwitch option of the
ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoSignalingOptSwitch parameter specifies whether to enable this
function.
l When this switch is turned on, inter-frequency handover based on frequency priority is
not triggered if the target cell is in the load balancing status.
l When this switch is turned off, whether to trigger inter-frequency handover based on
frequency priority is not related to the load of the target cell.
The source eNodeB applies a penalty mechanism on UEs that perform unnecessary handovers
when its handover admission fails. This prevents a large number of initiated handover
attempts from affecting the target eNodeB, especially when the eNodeB has insufficient
resources. Unnecessary handovers include:
l Service-based inter-frequency handover
l Frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover
l SPID-based inter-frequency handover back to the HPLMN. For details, see Flexible
User Steering.
Sequence Decision
The eNodeB then sends a handover request to the target cell at the top of the filtered candidate
cell list. If the handover request fails, the eNodeB sends the handover request to the next
target cell, as described in Table 4-30.
Table 4-30 Sequence of handover requests to be sent by the eNodeB

Candidate Cell List Sequence of Handover Requests
Generated by
Measurement A handover request is sent to the cell with the best signal
quality.
If the measurement results are the same, the eNodeB assigns
the intra-eNodeB cell a higher priority to avoid signaling and
data forwarding required in an inter-eNodeB handover.
In handover based on frequency priority, a random cell is
selected as the target cell when the cell measurement results are
the same.
Blind handover A handover request is sent to a cell or frequency that has the
highest priority. If multiple cells have the highest priority, the
eNodeB randomly selects a cell for blind handover.
In handover based on frequency priority, a random cell is
selected as the target cell when the priorities are the same.
If the handover request fails in all candidate cells:

l For a measurement procedure, the eNodeB waits until the UE sends the next
measurement report.

eRAN
l For a blind handover procedure, the eNodeB finishes the handover procedure.
4.6.2 Admission Decision

The MultiQciHoExecOptSwitch option of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.HoSignalingOptSwitch
parameter indicates whether the handover decision is triggered based on the admission result
of all QCIs in SPID-based handovers to HPLMN and frequency-priority-based handovers.
l If this option is selected, the handover decision is triggered only when all QCIs are
successfully admitted.
l If this option is deselected, the handover decision is triggered when any of the QCIs is
successfully admitted.
The eNodeB provides the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.EutranVoipSupportSwitch parameter, which
prevents UEs performing VoIP services from being handed over to an eNodeB that does not
support VoIP.
l When this switch is turned on, VoIP services are allowed in the E-UTRAN cell, which
means that the establishment, handover in, admission, and reestablishment of VoIP
services are allowed.
l When this switch is turned off, VoIP services are not allowed in the E-UTRAN cell,
which means that the establishment, handover in, admission, and reestablishment of
VoIP services are not allowed.
Assume that eNodeB1 cells are neighboring cells of eNodeB2. It is recommended that
eNodeB1 cells be added to the EutranVoipHoBlkList parameter of eNodeB2 if eNodeB1
forbids VoIP service handover in. Otherwise, the handover will fail due to handover penalty.
4.7 Handover Execution

The eNodeB selects either a handover procedure or a redirection procedure.
l The eNodeB selects the handover procedure for all measurement-based handovers.
l The procedure selection for blind handover is as follows:
The eNodeB selects the redirection procedure for coverage-based and UL-quality-
based blind handover. Redirections are performed only on non-VoIP UEs, not on
VoIP UEs.
The eNodeB selects the handover procedure for frequency-priority-based blind
handover.
l When the FDD or TDD cells of the same eNodeB are served by different MMEs, only
the redirection procedure can be selected for coverage-based inter-frequency handover
between FDD and TDD cells.
This is because there is a possibility that the MME cannot be changed during a handover
in such a case. For details about such MME configurations, see S1-Flex.
Other execution mechanisms for inter-frequency handover are the same as those for intra-
frequency handover. For details, see 3.4 Handover Execution.

the absence of neighbor relationship configurations, ensure that RAN sharing information
about inter-frequency frequencies is configured. The parameters for RAN sharing and

If LBFD-00201802 Coverage Based Inter-frequency Handover is used, you are advised not to
use other inter-frequency handover features for multiple different frequencies. Otherwise,

conditions for different types of inter-frequency handovers.
If other inter-frequency handover features need to be used for multiple frequencies with
LBFD-00201802 Coverage Based Inter-frequency Handover enabled, event A4 thresholds for
those inter-frequency handover features must be properly set. The event A4 threshold for each
type of inter-frequency handover must be higher than the event A2 threshold for coverage-
based inter-frequency handover to ensure that a coverage-based inter-frequency measurement
is not triggered immediately after a UE is handed over to the target frequency.
When the inter-frequency measurement frequency priority control is enabled for VoIP UEs in
the Coverage-based Inter-Frequency Handover feature, the VoIP settings must be the same
among frequencies if the service-based inter-frequency handover switch is turned on.
Meanwhile, the inter-frequency measurement frequency priority control does not take effect
for VoIP UEs.

Feature Parameter Description 6 Network Impact
6 Network Impact
For coverage-based intra-frequency, coverage-based inter-frequency, and service-based inter-

frequency handovers, service drop rate may be affected. The following describes the methods
of identifying and handling such situations.
Certain UEs report to support inter-mode measurement but actually they do not support inter-
mode measurement. When such UEs exist on the live network, the
L.RRC.ReEst.ReconfFail.Att counter indicates a large number of RRC connection
reestablishements. This affects the service drop rate on the live network. In this case, you are
advised to enable LTE inter-mode measurement optimization. This function is controlled by
the RsvdSwPara3_bit6 option of the ENBRSVDPARA.RsvdSwPara3 parameter.
NOTE
After this function is enabled, UEs supporting inter-mode measurement but not supporting inter-mode
handover cannot be transferred to an inter-mode network through measurement-based redirection.
Enabling this function does not affect UEs supporting both inter-mode measurement and inter-mode
handover.

With coverage-based inter-frequency handovers, the coverage in areas with weak LTE

decreasing the call drop rate.
The inter-frequency measurement priority control function allows VoIP UEs to be handed
over to the optimal frequency. This reduces the number of handovers of VoIP UEs during
continuous mobility. It is required that the frequency with the best signal quality can be
measured by VoIP UEs. Otherwise, VoIP UEs experience service drops due to lack of
measurements on neighboring cells on such a frequency. When this function is enabled, VoIP
UEs are concentrated in the cells on the frequency with the best signal quality. If the
bandwidth of such a frequency is small, the VoIP capacity may be limited.

7.1.6 Activation Observation

The observation procedure is as follows:
Step 1 Trace messages over the Uu interface on the U2000 client after UEs access the network.
Check the RRC_CONN_RECFG message. If the message contains measurement
configuration of event A3 for a coverage-based intra-frequency handover, you can infer that
coverage-based intra-frequency handover has been activated.
Step 2 Trace messages over the Uu interface while the UE is moving towards an intra-frequency
neighboring cell. Check the RRC_CONN_RECFG message, which is a handover command.
If the message contains target cell access information, you can infer that coverage-based intra-
frequency handover has been triggered.

7.1.8 Performance Monitoring

Coverage-based intra-frequency handovers ensure service continuity when users move
around. How well these handovers serve this purpose reflects their performance. After
activating coverage-based intra-frequency handover, check the following counters to monitor
and evaluate handover performance:
l Intra-frequency handover success rate
Intra-frequency Handover Out Success Rate
l Outgoing intra-frequency handover success rate
Outgoing intra-frequency handover success rate =
(L.HHO.IntraeNB.IntraFreq.ExecAttOut +
L.HHO.IntereNB.IntraFreq.ExecAttOut)/(L.HHO.IntraeNB.IntraFreq.PrepAttOut
+ L.HHO.IntereNB.IntraFreq.PrepAttOut)
l Service drop rate
Call Drop Rate (VoIP)
Service Drop Rate (All)
Service Drop Rate (Always Online)
When the intra-frequency handover success rate is low, check neighboring cell configurations,
handover parameter configurations, and signal coverage.
When the service drop rate is high, check the intra-frequency handover success rate and
outgoing intra-frequency handover success rate. If the outgoing intra-frequency handover

eRAN
preparation success rate is also low, check for abnormal neighboring cells according to
"Number of Incoming Handover Failures for Different Causes in a Cell" and optimize
abnormal cells.

Fault Description
An eNodeB may not initiate a handover procedure upon receipt of an event A3 measurement
report.
Fault Handling
When this problem occurs, perform the following steps to determine whether it has occurred
because the target cell has not been configured as a neighboring cell. This section uses PCI of
136 as an example.
Step 1 Check the messages over the Uu interface and locate the PCI of the neighboring cell in the
measurement report.
Step 2 Run the LST EUTRANEXTERNALCELL command to list all external E-UTRAN cells of
the eNodeB, run the LST CELL command to list all local cells of the eNodeB, and check
these lists for the cell whose PCI equals 136.
l If this cell can be found, go to Step 4.
l If this cell cannot be found, the target cell has not been configured as an external cell. To
solve this problem, go to Step 3.
Step 3 Run the commands in Step 2 to locate the CGI of the neighboring cell with PCI being 136.
Then, run the ADD EUTRANINTRAFREQNCELL command to add the CGI to the
EutranIntraFreqNCell MO.
Step 4 Run the ADD EUTRANEXTERNALCELL and ADD EUTRANINTRAFREQNCELL

commands to add the CGI of the neighboring cell with PCI being 136 to the
EutranExternalCell and EutranIntraFreqNCell MOs.

7.2.1 When to Use Coverage-based Inter-Frequency Handover

Mobility management is fundamental to service continuity. Coverage-based inter-frequency
handovers are used by default. You are advised to keep this type of handover enabled.
If the live network does not require inter-frequency networking, you can disable coverage-
based inter-frequency handover.

If blind handovers or redirections are required to implement inter-frequency handovers,
collect the information about the neighboring cells to which blind handovers or redirections
will be allowed as well as their blind-handover priorities.
The information to be collected before deploying coverage-based inter-frequency handover
includes the information to be collected before deploying coverage-based intra-frequency
handover.
Collect UE information to determine whether the eNodeB needs to handle UEs that report an
abnormal frequency-supporting capability.
In addition to the information described in 7.1.2 Required Information, collect the
information about the coverage at the inter-frequency handover area. This information serves
as a basis for setting the thresholds used to trigger events A1, A2, and A4.
The event A2 threshold for coverage-based inter-frequency handover and the event A2
threshold for coverage-based inter-RAT handover can be separately set. If coverage-based
inter-frequency handover is expected to be triggered earlier than coverage-based inter-RAT
handover, the event A2 threshold for coverage-based inter-frequency handover must be set to
a value greater than the event A2 threshold for coverage-based inter-RAT handover.

configured with the same priority. If
multiple frequencies have the same
priority, the eNodeB randomly selects one
from them.
You are advised to set this parameter for
frequencies with continuous coverage. If
there are multiple frequencies with
continuous coverage, set this parameter to
a larger value for a frequency in a lower
frequency band. Set this parameter to 0 for
a frequency with non-continuous coverage.

Troubleshooting
Perform the following steps to determine whether the handover parameters are set correctly:
Step 1 Check the messages over the S1 interface and locate the IE Cause in the
S1AP_UE_CONTEXT_REL_REQ message.
l If the value of this IE is radioNetwork:radio-connection-with-ue-lost, go to Step 2.
l If the value of this IE is not radioNetwork:radio-connection-with-ue-lost, the handover
parameters are set correctly. Contact Huawei technical support engineers.
Step 2 Check the messages over the Uu interface for A4 measurement reports in RRC_MEAS_RPRT
messages prior to RRC_CONN_REL messages.
l If such reports cannot be found, this problem is due to inappropriate settings of handover
parameters. Go to Step 3.
l If such reports can be found, contact Huawei engineers.
Step 3 Run the MOD INTERFREQHOGROUP command to reconfigure the following

parameters:

l A4A5 Based Interfreq A2 RSRQ Threshold
l Interfreq handover hysteresis
l CoverageBased Interfreq RSRP threshold

7.3.1 When to Use Service-based Inter-Frequency Handover

You can enable service-based inter-frequency handover if service differentiation is required
by assigning services of different priorities to different frequencies. For example, services
with a QCI of 1 can be assigned to a narrow-bandwidth frequency and services with other
QCIs be assigned to other wide-bandwidth frequencies. Note that service-based inter-
frequency handover can be enabled on multiple E-UTRAN frequencies, but their QCI-based
policy configurations must be the same.

Before you deploy this feature, check whether the neighboring E-UTRAN frequencies can
provide continuous coverage. If the neighboring E-UTRAN frequency does not provide
continuous coverage, user experience with the services that are handed over will be affected.

7.4.1 When to Use Distance-based Inter-Frequency Handover

If high bands and low bands are used to cover separate but bordering areas, RF signals from a
high-band cell may be able to travel a long distance (for example, three times the inter-site
spacing) and cause severe cross-cell coverage to low-band cells. In this situation, if the low-
band cells are not configured as neighboring cells of the high-band cell, inter-frequency
measurements cannot be triggered in time and call drops will occur. To reduce the probability
of such call drops, you can enable distance-based inter-frequency handover.

Before deploying distance-based inter-frequency handover, collect information about the
distance that the RF signals of the cell exerting overshoot coverage based on the inter-eNodeB
distance on the live network. This distance is the criterion for the distance-based inter-
frequency handover threshold.

7.5 UL-Quality-based Inter-Frequency Handover
7.5.1 When to Use UL-quality-based Inter-Frequency Handover

Coverage-based inter-frequency handovers are triggered based on DL signal quality.
However, there may be a huge imbalance between the DL and UL signal quality: The UL
signal quality may be relatively poor while the DL signal quality is fairly satisfactory. If this
occurs, inter-frequency handovers cannot be promptly triggered. To handle this problem, you
can enable UL-quality-based inter-frequency handover.

Before deploying UL-quality-based inter-frequency handover, collect the causes of the
imbalance between the UL and DL signal quality as well as the possible magnitudes of the
imbalance. In addition, you need to collect the requirements of the local network plan for the
UL data rate at the cell edge.

7.6 Frequency-Priority-based Inter-Frequency Handover
7.6.1 When to Use Frequency-Priority-based Inter-Frequency

Handover
You are advised to enable frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover in the following
scenarios:
l Some eNodeB sites use a high frequency band (for example, 2600 MHz) and a low band
(for example, 900 MHz) as co-coverage bands. The high band is preferentially used to
provide services, and the low band is used to ensure continuous coverage. In this
scenario, frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover can be used to hand over
UEs from the low to high band. Note that frequency-priority-based inter-frequency
handovers are performed to transfer UEs only from the low band to the high band. If a
UE needs to be handed over from the high band to the low band, a coverage-based inter-
frequency handover can be performed.
l In a different-coverage networking scenario with bands of different bandwidth, you can
enable frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover to enable the band with higher
bandwidth to provide services when the network load is light.

If blind handover is required for inter-frequency handovers, the target cells for blind handover
or blind redirection must be specified for each cell, and the corresponding blind handover
priorities must be configured.
Collect information about the coverage of different bands. This information serves as a basis
for setting the thresholds used to trigger events A1, A2, and A4.
If blind handover is used in frequency-priority-based inter-frequency handover scenarios,

collect information about the neighboring cells to configure them with blind handover
priorities in the range of 17 to 32.
