1 Handover Algorithm Switch and
Common Configuration
1.1 Turning on the Intra-Frequency Handover Switch
To turn on the intra-frequency handover switch, run the following command:
MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH: HoAlgoSwitch=IntraFreqCoverHoSwitch-1;
1.2 Turning on the Inter-Frequency Handover Switch
To turn on the inter-frequency handover switch, run the following command:
MOD ENODEBALGOSWITCH: HoAlgoSwitch=InterFreqCoverHoSwitch-1;

1.3 Configuring Intra-Frequency Handover
Parameters
Modify basic handover parameters, including:
Maximum number of cells listed in the measurement report,
Number of measurement reports generated in a measurement period, and
measurement reporting interval.
Triggering type of event A1, event A2, and event A3 (RSRP, RSRQ, or
both)
To modify intra-frequency handover parameters, run the following command:
MOD INTRARATHOCOMM:;
1.4 Configuring the Serving-Cell Offset
Configure the serving-cell offset (Ocs) and intra-frequency offset (Ofs) used
in the measurement report when a cell is added.
To configure the serving-cell offset and intra-frequency offset, run the
following command:
ADD CELL: LocalCellId=0, CellSpecificOffset=dB1,
QoffsetFreq=dB1;

2 Handover Parameters
2.1 Configuring Intra-Frequency Handover Parameters
2.1.1 Adding an Intra-Frequency Handover Parameter
Group
This parameter group is to configure parameters used for triggering event A3.
Event A3 is triggered if the following condition is met in the time-to-trigger
duration.
To configure the hysteresis (intra-frequency handover hysteresis), offset
(intra-frequency handover offset), and time-to-trigger, run the following
command:
ADD INTRAFREQHOGROUP: LocalCellId=0;

2.1.2 Adding an External E-UTRAN Cell
Before configuring the intra-RAT inter-eNodeB neighboring relationship, add
an external cell by running the following command:
ADD EUTRANEXTERNALCELL:
Pay attention to enter the cell ID in the Cell ID field and the physical cell
identifier (PCI) of the cell in the Physical cell ID field. Do not mix up the two
fields.
2.1.3 Adding an Intra-Frequency E-UTRAN Neighboring
Cell
In a scenario where the automatic neighbor relation (ANR) function is
disabled, the handover can only be initiated after intra-frequency neighboring
relationships are configured. Cell Individual Offset indicates the Ofn in the
event A3 measurement report formula.
Note that the cell offset applies to reselection.
To add an intra-frequency E-UTRAN neighboring cell, run the following
command:
ADD EUTRANINTRAFREQNCELL:

2.1.4 Selecting an Intra-Frequency Handover Parameter
Group
The parameter group added in 2.1.1 "Adding an Intra-Frequency Handover
Parameter Group" is configured based on different QoS Class Identifiers
(QCIs) of a cell.
For example, to configure the intra-frequency handover parameter group ID0
and inter-frequency handover parameter group ID0 for QCI 9 of cell 0, run the
following command:
MOD CELLSTANDARDQCI: LocalCellId=0, Qci=QCI9,
InterFreqHoGroupId=0, IntraFreqHoGroupId=0;
After the configuration, parameters in this group will be used if QCI 9
services are performed.
2.2 Configuring Inter-Frequency Handover Parameters
2.2.1 Configuring the GAP Mode for Inter-Frequency
Measurement
The following command is used to modify the GAP mode used in inter-
frequency measurement. Modification of the GAP mode (GAP mode 1 or
GAP mode 2) is not recommended, nor is that of parameters (command
handover parameters) in the command.
MOD HOMEASCOMM: GapPatternType=GAP_PATTERN_TYPE_1;

2.2.2 Adding an Inter-Frequency Handover Parameter
Group
This parameter group is to configure parameters for triggering event A1, event
A2, and event A4 used in the inter-frequency measurement and is used in the
same way as the intra-frequency handover parameter group.
To add an inter-frequency handover parameter group, run the following
command:
ADD INTERFREQHOGROUP:;
2.2.3 Adding an External E-UTRAN Cell
For details, see section 2.1.2 "Adding an External E-UTRAN Cell." Add the
external cell before configuring the inter-eNodeB inter-frequency neighboring
relationship.
2.2.4 Adding the Frequency of an Inter-Frequency E-
UTRAN Neighboring Cell
Add the frequency of an inter-frequency neighboring cell before configuring
the inter-frequency neighboring relationship.
You are advised to configure the measurement bandwidth to be consistent
with the neighboring cell bandwidth.
The frequency offset is used to control the difficulty level of the inter-
frequency handover and indicates Ofn used in the event A4 measurement
formula.

To add the frequency of an inter-frequency neighboring cell, run the following
command:
ADD EUTRANINTERNFREQ:
2.2.5 Adding an Inter-Frequency Neighboring Cell
Cell offset indicates the Ocn in the event A4 measurement formula and is used
for inter-frequency reselection.
To add an inter-frequency neighboring cell, run the following command:
ADD EUTRANINTERFREQNCELL:;
2.2.6 Selecting an Inter-Frequency Handover Parameter
Group
For details, see section 2.1.4 "Selecting an Intra-Frequency Handover
Parameter Group."

3 Other Parameters
3.1 Configuring the X2 Interface
The X2 interface is added for inter-eNodeB X2 handovers. If there is no X2
interface, inter-eNodeB handovers can only be performed over the S1
interface.
To add an X2 interface, run the following command:
ADD X2INTERFACE:;
Note that the SCTP link must be configured before the X2 interface is added.
3.2 Adding the External-Cell PLMN List
In a multi-operator core network (MOCN) scenario, if a UE of a secondary
operator needs to perform a handover, the external-cell public land mobile
network (PLMN) list must be added on the local and peer eNodeBs before the
handover is performed.
To add the external-cell PLMN list, run the following command:
ADD EUTRANEXTERNALCELLPLMN:;
Share mobile country code and Share mobile network code are used to
specify the secondary operator.
