Foreword
Why mobile systems need handover? It is decided by the characters of mobile system:
The mobility of UE The mobile system is composed by cells which the cov
erage ability is limited. Providing the continuous service in mobile system is t
he basic element in QoS.

The Characters of Different Handovers Comparison between soft handover and softer hando
ver During softer handover, the uplink signaling are combined in
NodeB by maximum ratio combination, but during soft handover they are combined in RNC by selection combination
Compare to later one, the maximum ration combination can get more gain. So the performance of maximum ration combination is better
Since softer handover is completed in NodeB, it do not consume transport resource of Iub

Brief Introduction of Soft Handover Characters of Soft Handover
During handover, UE has several RLs with different cells - active set
The handover among different cells which are in same RLS can be softer handover
Soft handover:– Selection combination in uplink
– Maximum combination in downlink
Softer handover– Maximum combination in uplink and downlink

Brief Introduction of Intra-frequency Hard Handover Characters
UE only has one RL with one cell in the process of handover Disconnect UE with the original cell, then hand it over to target cell The working frequency of source cell and target cell are same
Advantages Enhance the using efficiency of the OVSF code and hardware resour
ce Disadvantages
High call drop possibility because of the intra-frequency interference
Application scenarios Without Iur interface between two RNCs or the Iur interface jam (onl

less than the threshold. UE should do intra-frequency hard handover when the spee

receiver Usually, the timing re-initiation hard handover is used
for hard handover

is higher than a certain threshold

Cells Hierarchy Algorithm Based on UE Moving Speed
When UE is in one of the hierarchy cells, the moving speed estimation algorithm is initiated
Handover events in a while decides whether the speed of UE satisfies the current cell hierarchy condition
UE’s moving speed decided the result

Decision Algorithm
The inter-frequency hard handover decision The coverage triggers the handover
2B event :– the quality in the used frequency is lower than absolute threshold, bu
t the quality in another non-used frequency is higher than another absolute threshold.
The load triggers handover 2C event :
– the quality in another frequency is higher than an absolute threshold

uency is lower than a certain threshold, and that of the other system is higher than a certain threshold

surement value and the BSIC confirming state of target cell of GSM system, and meanwhile the UE evaluates the GSM RSSI of target cell is greater than the absolute threshold, then consider the cell confirmed by BSIC
