P3 IRAT Handover Strategy Analysis We split 2d events in 2 classes:
ClassA: 2d events which are followed by either IRAT Handover or event 2f or dropped call
ClassB: 2d events which are not followed by any event or dropped call (most likely 2d events on short RRC connection for registration)

P3 IRAT Handover Strategy Analysis
In 10% of the cases the 2f event happens before the UE has time to enter CM
In other cases the Ue might be in a connection state where it is not possible to enter CM (Signalling, or high packet rates).
It takes around 2.4 seconds for the UE to enter CM and start measuring GSM
50% of the handover need more than 4 seconds to be executed, but in general it is soon after event 3a

P3 IRAT Handover Strategy Analysis IRAT handover is occurring too early and/or in areas where the
radio environment is changing fast (2d ending in 2f events)
– Lowering handover threshold and increasing time to trigger for 2d and 2f might help making IRAT handover more efficient

Test Case description
Different test cases have been defined:– Activate Ec/No based IRAT Handover
– Move RSCP based IRAT Handover to lower coverage areas
– Move Ec/No based IART Handover to more highly interfered areas
– Combine the parameter settings from previous tests cases
– Increase time to trigger (delay decision on when entering compress mode based on both RSCP and Ec/No)
– Activate UeTx power based handover
– Increase time to trigger (delay decision on when entering compress mode based on UeTx Power)
– Combine parameter settings from previous test cases (RSCP, Ec/No, UeTx Power)
– Move handover decision based on RSCP to more extreme coverage areas
– In the attached file all test cases are explainedMicrosoft Excel Worksheet

The Ec/No trigger is introduced and threshold for CM activation is set to -14 dB.
The Immediate handover strategy is also applied for Ec/No and the 3a threshold is set thigher than the 2d threshold
Ue Tx power triggering is still disabled by mean of high filter coefficient values

Test Case Analysis – Introducing Ec/No trigger Introducing Ec/No trigger at -14 without changing time to trigger values does
not give any significant change. The reason for this is that most of the 2d events are still being triggered based on RSCP rather than on Ec/No.

Reducing the RSCP triggering does not significantly affect the unbalance between the amount of handover started due to RSCP and Ec/No reasons.
Ec/No triggered handover attempts are mostly generated in fast changing environment
RSCP triggered attempts are mostly followed by handover -> Indoor users? Coverage border users?

Ec/No Threshold is -13 dB

Time to trigger for the 2d and 6a events have been increased (640ms) in order to remove false bad radio environment detection
Time to trigger for 2f and 6b events have been increased (2560) in order to give time to CM activation

Almost all Speech connection perform handover, some other exit CM due to 2f event triggering or other reasons
When 2d is triggered on packet 64 most of the time the handover is performed, in the remaining cases CM might be disactivated due to upswitch to higher bitrates (with 2d still being fulfilled)
Packet is triggering handover to GSM based on Ec/No more than speech (where packet is present there is more interference maybe also due to HSDPA)
When the UE is on higher bitrates the event 2d is often followed by a 2f event.
In other cases the UE has still time to switch down to 64 and perform handover or switch up again
The connection almost never drops.
Even at -105dBm There is still room for reduction!!!

Considering that it takes around 4 seconds to perform handover from the event 2d, it means that the event is usually triggered 5 seconds after the call setup

RSCP threshold for event 2d has been moved to -107 dBm.
Ec/No Threshold is -13 dB
UeTx Power trigger is enabled
Time to trigger for the 2d and 6a events have been kept longer (640ms) in order to remove false bad radio environment detection
Time to trigger for 2f and 6b events have been kept longer (2560) in order to give time to CM activation

A first attempt has been made to reduce the probability for 3G connections to make false reselections to 2G:
Reducing hysteresis for 3G->3G cell reselection (to avoid false GSM reselections)
Increasing the offset towards 2G neighbour cells to take into account the different planning values for coverage
Delaying measurements on 2G (sRatSearch reduction)

Ping-Pong Areas
Users in Ping-Pong areas will move from GSM to UMTS and back in GSM. They should not cause signalling because they are not allowed to camp on cells with that poor RSCP
The real Ping-Pong is due to the absence of hysteresis, users at the border of the Ping-Pong areas might continuously reselect the two networks where signalling is generated at every reselection

UMTS
Starting UMTS measurements only when GSM is good will create hysteresis and prevent Ping-Pong
Hysteresis
QSI could also be used for UMTS only sites where it is not possible to remove the 2G->3G neighbour relation

Summary:
– Border and Core UMTS Sites:
– Keep all 3G->2G relations but remove the co-sited 3G->2G relation to avoid useless reselections or handover
– Do not remove 3G->2G co-sited relations where 3G is outdoor only and 2G is indoor only or vice versa or where the 2G is 900!
– Remove all un-necessary 2G->3G relations: keep only the 2G->3G relation with the co-sited if any or all 2G->3G relations with close neighbouring sites (face-to-face) if no co-sited is available
– For the co-sited GSM activate the QSI parameter to enable Hysteresis
– Use qOffset1sn=15 dB for all 2G neighbours
– Use qHyst1=2 dB instead of 4 dB (reduces the risk that late reselections trigger measurements on 2G)
– QSI Activation Strategy:
– If 2G Indoor and 3G Outdoor or vice-versa: QSI=3 (GSM<-86 to measure UMTS)
– If both Indoor or both Outdoor: QSI=10 (GSM>-70 to measure UMTS)

Summary:
– Border UMTS Sites (as in Option1):
– Keep all 3G->2G relations but remove the co-sited 3G->2G relation to avoid useless reselections or handover
– Do not remove 3G->2G co-sited relations where 3G is outdoor only and 2G is indoor only or vice versa or where the 2G is 900!
– Remove all un-necessary 2G->3G relations: keep only the 2G->3G relation with the co-sited if any or all 2G->3G relations with close neighbouring sites (face-to-face) if no co-sited is available
– For the remaining co-sited GSM activate the QSI parameter to enable Hysteresis
– Core UMTS Sites (different from Option1):
– Remove all 3G->2G relations
– Do not remove 3G->2G co-sited relations where 3G is outdoor only and 2G is indoor only or vice versa or where the 2G is 900!
– Remove all un-necessary 2G->3G relations: keep only the 2G->3G relation with the co-sited if any or all 2G->3G relations with close neighbouring sites (face-to-face) if no co-sited is available
– If the co-sited GSM is a 900 activate the QSI parameter to enable Hysteresis
– Use qOffset1sn=15 dB for all 2G neighbours (as in Option1)
– Use qHyst1=2 dB instead of 4 dB (as in Option1)
– QSI Activation Strategy (as in Option1):
– If 2G Indoor and 3G Outdoor or vice-versa: QSI=3 (GSM<-86 to measure UMTS)
– If both Indoor or both Outdoor: QSI=10 (GSM>-70 to measure UMTS)

In addition to each of the two previous option the parameter SHcsRat should be used to start measuring GSM also when RSCP get closer to the limit (sHcsRat=4 as a starting point)

The proposed parameter settings is an attempt to create the required hysteresis in order to reduce the ping-pong between 2G and 3G cells:
trigger start of UMTS measurements based on GSM coverage (QSI)
Activate the RSCP criteria to come back on UMTS (R12 only phones)
Review all neighbour strategies according to the new recommendations

The proposed parameter settings is an attempt to activate 2G->3G handover with minimum risk of ping-pong handover:
trigger start of UMTS measurements based on GSM coverage (QSI)
Activate the RSCP criteria to come back on UMTS (R12 only phones)
It might be recommendable to start with higher values of ISHOLEV to avoid abrupt changes.
