Measurement Counter
ZCH900Z:BSCRPT_INTRABSC_INTERCELL_HO_REQ_1800_900
Description
This measurement provides the number of attempted internal inter-cell handovers of all the cells controlled by a BSC (1800/1900 to 900/850). The BSC uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required or not on the basis of the measurement reports submitted by the MS. If a handover is required, and if the source cell (current cell) and the target cell are two different cells controlled by a BSC, the BSC initiates an internal inter-cell handover. The counters indicate the number of incoming internal inter-cell handover requests in the source cell.
The channel involved in the measurement can be the SDCCH or the TCH.
This counter shows the frequency of inter-cell handovers initiated by the BSC. According to the counter Successful Internal Inter-Cell Handovers per BSC (1800/1900 to 900/850), the internal intra-cell handover per BSC can be well understood.
The handover frequency band range is 1800/1900 to 900/850.
Unit
Integer number or integer.
Measurement Point
This counter is measured according to the following formula when the measurement period ends. For details on the measurement point, see "Measurement Point" of each counter in the formula.
Formula
Attempted Internal Inter-Cell Handovers per BSC (1800/1900 to 900/850) = 
Incoming Internal Inter-Cell Handover Requests (SDCCH) (1800/1900-900/850) + Incoming Internal Inter-Cell Handover Requests (TCH) (1800/1900-900/850)
