    3G (UMTS) HANDOVER

    ISSUES

    Handover in network
    UMTS Handover
    Intra-system Handover:
    Intra-frequency HO
    Inter-frequency HO
    Inter-system HO
    • Different radio access technologies (e.g.
    UMTS and GSM/EDGE)
    • Different radio access modes (e.g.
    FDD/WCDMA and TDD/TD-CDMA)
    Hard handover
    Hard handover `break-
    before-make' is applied
    when the user’s equipment
    communicates with only
    just one Node B.
    Connection with the old
    Node B is broken before
    the new connection is
    established
    Soft handover
    UE is located in the coverage
    area of two or more different
    Node Bs. The UE
    simultaneously
    communicates with two or
    more Node Bs via two or
    more radio channels. A
    received signal in Node B is
    routed to the RNC (Radio
    Network Controller). The
    RNC compares the signal on
    the frame by- frame basis.
    The best frame is selected for
    the next processing; the
    others frames are discarded.
    Softer handover
    Softer handover is
    similar to soft
    handover. The main
    difference between
    these two handovers
    resides in fact that a
    UE is located in the
    coverage area of two
    sectors of one Node B
    Handover Phases
    Handover detection
    Handover preparation
    Handover execution
    Handover Detection
    One of the responsibilities of the
    handover entity is monitoring and
    triggering the handover.
    Handover Preparation
    In this phase, the handover entity
    requests for the other networks
    resource availability information.
    Handover Execution
    A handover execution message is
    responsible for triggering the handover
    to another network and is sent by the
    handover entity.

    UMTS HO Algorithm
    The algorithm samples the signal
    strength of the surrounding base
    stations every 1 sec.
    3dB threshold for soft handover.
    6dB threshold for hard handover.
    The size of the Active Set is 3 signals
    SHO Algorithm
    1. Each UE is connected to its Primary_BS, and keeps
    an Active_ Set (2 “closest” cells)
    2. Each UE measures the SIR received from the
    surrounding cells.
    3. If (AS1_SIR – Pr_BS_SIR) >3dB OR (AS2_SIR –
    Pr_BS_SIR) > 3dB
    - UE enters Soft Handover
    - UE keeps a simultaneous connection to the
    Primary_BS and one or both of the Active_Set
    cells
    HHO Algorithm
    Neighboring cells replace the cells in the Active_Set if
    their SIR exceeds the Active_Set cells’ SIR by 6dB.

    - If (AS1_SIR – Pr_BS_SIR) > 6dB for three


    measurements in a row: AS1 becomes the
    Primary_BS
    - If (AS2_SIR – Pr_BS_SIR) > 6dB for three
    measurements in a row: AS2 becomes the
    Primary_BS
