Ideas about a handover algorithm
|
||||
======================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
This is mostly based on the results presented in Chapter 8 of "Performance
|
||||
Enhancements in a Frequency Hopping GSM Network" by Thomas Toftegaard Nielsen
|
||||
and Joeroen Wigard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Reasons for performing handover ===
|
||||
|
||||
Section 2.1.1: Handover used in their CAPACITY simulation:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Interference Handover
|
||||
|
||||
Average RXLEV is satisfactory high, but average RXQUAL too low indicates
|
||||
interference to the channel. Handover should be made.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Bad Quality
|
||||
|
||||
Averaged RXQUAL is lower than a threshold
|
||||
|
||||
3) Low Level / Signal Strength
|
||||
|
||||
Average RXLEV is lower than a threshold
|
||||
|
||||
4) Distance Handover
|
||||
|
||||
MS is too far away from a cell (measured by TA)
|
||||
|
||||
5) Power budget / Better Cell
|
||||
|
||||
RX Level of neighbor cell is at least "HO Margin dB" dB better than the
|
||||
current serving cell.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Ideal parameters for HO algorithm ===
|
||||
|
||||
Chapter 8, Section 2.2, Table 24:
|
||||
|
||||
Window RXLEV averaging: 10 SACCH frames (no weighting)
|
||||
Window RXQUAL averaging: 1 SACCH frame (no averaging)
|
||||
Level Threashold: 1 of the last 1 AV-RXLEV values < -110dBm
|
||||
Quality Threshold: 3 of the last 4 AV-RXQUAL values >= 5
|
||||
Interference Threshold: 1 of the last AV-RXLEV > -85 dBm &
|
||||
3 of the last 4 AV-RXQUAL values >= 5
|
||||
Power Budget: Level of neighbor cell > 3 dB better
|
||||
Power Budget Interval: Every 6 SACCH frames (6 seconds ?!?)
|
||||
Distance Handover: Disabled
|
||||
Evaluation rule 1: RXLEV of the candidate cell a tleast -104 dBm
|
||||
Evaluation rule 2: Level of candidate cell > 3dB better own cell
|
||||
Timer Successful HO: 5 SACCH frames
|
||||
Timer Unsuccessful HO: 1 SACCH frame
|
||||
|
||||
In a non-frequency hopping case, RXQUAL threshold can be decreased to
|
||||
RXLEV >= 4
|
||||
|
||||
When frequency hopping is enabled, the following additional parameters
|
||||
should be introduced:
|
||||
|
||||
* No intra-cell handover
|
||||
* Use a HO Margin of 2dB
|
||||
|
||||
=== Handover Channel Reservation ===
|
||||
|
||||
In loaded network, each cell should reserve some channels for handovers,
|
||||
rather than using all of them for new call establishment. This reduces the
|
||||
need to drop calls due to failing handovers, at the expense of failing new call
|
||||
attempts.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Dynamic HO Margin ===
|
||||
|
||||
The handover margin (hysteresis) should depend on the RXQUAL. Optimal results
|
||||
were achieved with the following settings:
|
||||
* RXQUAL <= 4: 9 dB
|
||||
* RXQUAL == 5: 6 dB
|
||||
* RXQUAL >= 6: 1 dB
