MR Interpolation
Select the protocol worst value(-110dBm) to interpolate (remark)

Serving cell MR power control compensation

For all the inter cell handover, the serving cell MR will be compensated. (remark)
For the intra cell handover (except concentric handover), serving cell MR will not be

compensated.

2.2 Handover II penalty

New added penalty
1. After load handover, punish the initial cell
level from [penalty level on load HO] during
[Penalty time on load HO]
2. Add [Penalty Time on Interfere HO] after
interference HO (No matter success or failure)

2.3 Basic Cell Ranking and Network Feature Adjustment

Cell basic ranking

K Rank

Network feature adjustment

16 bits

In handover II, the Basic cell ranking and network feature adjustment is
divided. After the Basic cell ranking(bit1~bit4), the emergency handover will
trigger, then the network feature adjustment(bit5~bit16) will start. Finally, the
Forced handover and normal handover will triggered based on the network
feature adjustment result.
Note: the emergency handover just consider the level, so after basic ranking,
it will trigger.

2.4 Handover Judgment flow

optimization

The handover II consider all the handover type judgment result.

According to the integrated ranking result to decide the target cell.

According to the target cell define the handover reason

Delete serving cell from candidate list, no intra cell HO.

Load handover
The load handover is triggered from better cell handover, the independent load handover
algorithm is deleted.
Suffice better cell handover cause and load handover cause, the load handover can be
triggered.
After load handover, punish the initial cell level from [penalty level on load HO] during [Penalty
time on load HO]

Level rapid Drop handover

It is deleted from handover II
Direct retry judgment condition optimization
Delete the neighbor judgment condition [Directed Retry Load Access Threshold] and [Min Power Level For Direct Try]
The [Min Power Level For Direct Try] effect is replaced by the judgment::
Neighbor BCCH DL level after filter > serving cell DL level after filter + Inter cell HO
level range - 64)

hysteresis (Direct retry HO

The [Directed Retry Load Access Threshold] effect is replaced by the 11 bits. That means the Direct retry and load
handover conception is integrated.
Note: Suggest the Direct retry and load handover are enabled together.
