1 Introduction
andover t"es include so%ter handover, so%t handover, intra*%reuenc" hard handover,
inter*%reuenc" hard handover and inter*s"stem hard handover. + t"ical handover rocess is)
measurement control → measurement reort → handover decision → handover e4ecution →
ne( measurement control. ased on the measurement value, handover control method and
handover t"e selection reuired %or the handover decision, the handover algorithm determines
ho( the 7 carr" out handover measurements and reort the measurement result, and then
maes handover decision and guides the handover e4ecution according to the reorted
measurement result. Handover algorithms largel" resent themselves in the con%iguration o%
measurement control arameters.
In Chater 2, this document discusses the measurement control, reorting rules and related
handover decision algorithms involved in various t"es o% handover. In Chater 3, $ased on the
no(ledge o% the handover algorithms, this document rovides detailed descritions o% the
seci%ic arameter setting methods value assignment recommendations and ranges o% e%%ect o%
the related algorithms o% various t"es o% handover, so as to rovide a clear and ractical
guidance %or arameter ad-ustments in net(or otimiation.
