 Exiting condition: Mn + Ofn + Ocn +
 A1 & A2 Hys < Thresh
 Ms = Measurement Serving

 Hys = Hysteresis A1A2

 Thresh = A1 or A2 RSRP Threshold

 A4

 Mn = Measurement Neighbor

 Ofn = Frequency-specific offset for Neighbor

 Ocn = Cell-specific offset for Neighbor

 Hys = Interfreq HO Hysteresis

 Thresh = A4 RSRP Threshold 4

Default Configuration (10MHz to 20MHz)
1) When UE serving from 10
MHz with default threshold
Threshold A1 : -105
Threshold A2 : -109
Our UE will not doing any
measurement due to 10 MHz
RSRP still higher than A1
Threshold

2) We need to mapping in which 4) Change A2 Threshold to (-93

level RSRP we can start to dBm). A2 (start interfreq
search other frequency. measurement report to eNB)
3) A1 threshold change to will happen when RSRP
(-90dBm) and A1A2 hys Ms+2<-93
change to 2 dBm. Ms<-95
A1 (interfreq stop
measurement) will happen
when RSRP Ms-2>-90
Ms>-88
