Meaning:Load HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: 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.

Default value:None

QCKMVHOEN MS Fast Moving HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: This parameter specifies whether an MS that moves fast in a micro cell can be handed over to a macro cell. If this parameter is set to Yes, the MS that moves fast in a micro cell can be handed over to a macro cell, thus reducing the number of handovers.

Meaning:PBGT HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: 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.

Default value:None

FRINGEHOEN Edge HO Allowed

Meaning:Edge HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: This parameter specifies whether to enable the edge handover algorithm. 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. When the UL receive level of the serving cell is lower than the Edge HO UL RX_LEV Threshold or the DL receive level of the serving cell is lower than the Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold, the MS is handed over to a neighbor cell.

Default value:None

BQHOEN BQ HO Allowed

Meaning:BQ HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: This parameter specifies whether the bad quality (BQ) handover is enabled. Whether a BQ handover should be enabled depends on the UL and DL transmission quality (BER). When the UL signal quality or the DL signal quality exceeds the BQ handover threshold. a BQ emergency handover is performed. A rise in BER may result from too low a signal level or channel interference.

Default value:None

TAHOEN TA HO Allowed

Meaning:TA HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: This parameter specifies whether the time advance (TA) handover is enabled. The TA handover determines whether the timing advance (TA) is higher than the predefined TA threshold. When the TA is higher than the predefined TA threshold, a TA handover is triggered. The TA is calculated based on the distance between the MS and the BTS. The longer the distance is, the greater the TA value is.

Default value:None

CONHOEN Concentric Circles HO Allowed

Meaning:Concentric Circles HO Allowed

Value range:NO(NO),YES(YES)

Explanation: This parameter specifies whether the concentric cell handover is enabled. The concentric cell is used to achieve the wide coverage of the UL subcell and the aggressive frequency reuse of the OL subcell.

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.
