Soft Handover Factor [%]

According to Huawei definition, the Soft Handover Factor is
calculated by the following formula:
6
∑ UE
j =1
j * j
SHO.Factor = 6
−1
∑ UE
j =1
j
Where:
j means the number of RL is j.
UEj means the number of users with j RL

Mean Number of UEs with Two uncombined RLs
VS.SHO.AS.2Soft
Mean Number of UEs with three RLs and two combined RLs
VS.SHO.AS.3Soft2Softer

VS.SHO.AS.3Soft
Mean Number of UEs with Two Combined RLs
VS.SHO.AS.2Softer
Mean Number of Three-RL UEs with Three Combined
VS.SHO.AS.3Softer
There are 3 additional counters and they are usually 0 in commercial networks:
Mean Number of UEs with Four RLs
VS.SHO.AS.4

Mean Number of UEs with Five RLs

VS.SHO.AS.5

Mean Number of UEs with Six RLs

VS.SHO.AS.6

This is because we usually set the maximum cell in an active set as 3.

These measurement items provide the mean number of UEs with different RLs.
The RNC periodically takes a sample from the number of UEs with different RLs. At
the end of the measurement period, the RNC divides the accumulated number by the
number of samples to obtain the average number of UEs with different RLs in the
measurement period.

VS.SHO.Att.RNC
Number of Call Drops due to Soft Handover

VS.SHO.Drop.RNC
VS.SHO.Succ
This measurement item provides the number of successful soft handovers (including
softer handovers).
The measurement is triggered at point C, as shown in the figure. When the RNC
receives an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message from the UE, which
indicates that the soft handover is successful, the RNC measures this item.
VS.SHO.Att.RNC
This measurement item provides the number of soft handovers (including softer
handovers) that the RNC decides to initiate.
The measurement is triggered at point B, as shown in the figure. When the RNC sends
an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message to the UE, the RNC measures this item.
VS.SHO.Drop.RNC
This measurement item provides the number of call drops caused by soft handover in
the RNC.
During soft handover, when the RNC sends an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message to the
UE, it starts the timer to wait for the response from the UE. If the RNC does not
receive the response until the timer expires, it releases this RRC connection, which
results in call drops. At this time, the RNC measures this item.

VS.HHO.InterFreq.Drop.RNC
This measurement item provides the number of successful inter-frequency hard handovers
initiated by the RNC.
The measurement is triggered at point C, as shown in the figure. When the RNC receives a
PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message, or a TRANSPORT
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message, or a RADIO BEARER
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message from a UE during inter-frequency hard handover,
the measurement of this item shall be triggered.
This measurement item provides the number of inter-frequency hard handover requests initiated
by the RNC.
The measurement is triggered at point B, as shown in the figure. To initiate an inter-frequency
hard handover procedure, the RNC first sends a RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message to
the NodeB. After it receives a RADIO LIN SETUP RESPONSE message, the RNC sends a
PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, or a TRANSPORT CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION message, or a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message to the
UE. At this moment, the measurement of this item shall be triggered.
VS.HHO.InterFreq.Drop.RNC

failure in the RNC.
During inter-frequency hard handover, the RNC sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION message, TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, or
RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message to the UE and starts a timer to wait for the
response from the UE. If the UE returns a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION
FAILURE message, or a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message,
or a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, it indicates that the hard
handover fails. If the RNC cannot maintain the call connected before the hard handover, it
initiates an RRC connection release procedure, which results in call drops. At this moment, the
measurement of this item shall be triggered.

HSDPA serving cell.
The measurement is triggered at point A1 as shown in the figure, when the
RNC receives from the UE a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION

COMPLETE message indicating a channel reconfiguration for HSDPA service
in the DCCC or RAB MODIFY procedure, the RNC measures the item in the
HSDPA serving cell.

RNC decides to perform a channel handover, it sends a RADIO BEARER

RECONFIGURATION message to a UE during the DCCC or RAB MODIFY
procedure. In this case, the RNC measures the items in the serving cell of the
HSDPA service according to the transport channels of UEs before and after
the reconfiguration. The RNC performs the handover of transport channels in
the same cell.
