Parameter Name |
Cell Priority |
|---|---|
Description |
This parameter specifies the handover between the cells at the same layer. If this parameter is set to a small value, the priority is high. Generally, the cells at the same layer have the same priority. For details, refer to Layer of the Cell. |

Configuration Policy |
Each layer has 16 priorities, numbered 1-16 respectively. If the number of the priority is small, the priority is high. This parameter along with Layer of the Cell determines the priority of a cell. The priority affects the sequencing of neighbor cells for handovers. It also affects handover algorithms, such as PBGT handover algorithm and inter-layer handover algorithm. For example, PBGT handovers can be performed only between the cells at the same layer and hierarchy. If a 1800 MHz cell and a 900 MHz cell are at different layers, a PBGT handover cannot be performed from the 1800 MHz cell to the 900 MHz cell. Consequently, handovers are performed slowly even if the speech quality is good. |
Recommended Value |
None |
Parameter Relationship |
During a hierarchical handover, the handover priority of a cell is related to both Cell Priority and Layer of the Cell. If the number of the layer is small and the number of the priority is low, the handover priority is high. |
