  1. 3G (UMTS) HANDOVER ISSUES Team Members: Cuong Pham & Thomas Truong

  2. Handover in network

  3. 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)

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. Handover Phases • Handover detection • Handover preparation • Handover execution

  8. Handover Detection • One of the responsibilities of the handover entity is monitoring and triggering the handover.

  9. Handover Preparation • In this phase, the handover entity requests for the other networks resource availability information.

  10. Handover Execution • A handover execution message is responsible for triggering the handover to another network and is sent by the handover entity.

  15. 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

  16. SHO Algorithm • Each UE is connected to its Primary_BS, and keeps an Active_ Set (2 “closest” cells) • Each UE measures the SIR received from the surrounding cells. • 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

  17. 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
