    1. The document discusses cell reselection and handover strategies between GSM and WCDMA networks. It describes the parameters and thresholds used to determine when a UE will reselect or handover between the two networks. 2. Key thresholds discussed include FDDQMIN, qQualMin, qOffset1, and qHyst1 which determine when a UE will reselect from WCDMA to GSM, and usedFreqThresh2dEcNo, usedFreqThresh2dRscp, gsmThresh3a, utranRelThresh3aEcno which determine measurements, reselection and handover between the networks. 3. The strategies aim to keep UEs camped on WCDMA

    The document discusses cell reselection and handover strategies between GSM and WCDMA networks. It describes parameters, thresholds and conditions used for starting GSM measurements, stopping measurements, and triggering inter-RAT handovers.

    The parameters usedFreqThresh2dEcNo, usedFreqThresh2dRscp are used as thresholds for starting GSM measurements when the quality of the UTRAN side drops below the thresholds. usedFreqRelThresh2fEcno, usedFreqRelThresh2fRscp are used as relative thresholds for stopping GSM measurements when the quality of the UTRAN side rises above the thresholds.

    The conditions for triggering an IRAT handover (event 3a) are when the estimated quality of the currently used WCDMA RAN frequency drops below a threshold and the estimated quality of the GSM system rises above the gsmThresh3a threshold within the same time interval.

    GSM WCDMA Cell Reselection

    1. QSI value determine how UE measures WCDMA in idle mode. QSI = 7 always measure. 2. Utrancell are measure with FDD-ARFCN, scrambling code and it broadcast on the BCCH of the GSM cell up to 64 UTRAN neighbor 3. If WCDMA Ec/No > FDDQMIN then change of RAT will occur

    WCDMA - GSM Cell Reselection


    WCDMA to GSM GSM Measurement : Qqualmas < qQualMin + sRatSearch Example : GSM measurement start if Ec/No < -18 + 2 = -16

    GSM Triggering : UE will reselect to 2G if GSM RSSI qOffset1 > CPICH RSCP + qHyst1 Example : Reselect to GSM if : GSM RSSI > CPICH RSCP + 7dB
    JABO setting :

    IRAT Cell Reselection Strategy


    GSM WCDMA cell reselection strategy :
    Speed up cell reselection 2G to 3G. Set UE in 2G will reselect to 3G if CPICH Ec/no greater than -14 dB. (FDDQMIN = 6) UMFI definition update is mandatory. To avoid a ping pong cell reselection should be follow formula : FDDQMIN > qQualMin + sRatSearch

    GSM WCDMA cell reselection strategy :


    Keep idle mode in 3G. While UE camp on 3G will measure 2G neighbor if CPICH Ec/no below -16 dB UE will reselect to 2G if RSSI minimum 7dB higher than CPICH RSCP.

    IRAT HANDOVER

    Start measuring on GSM cells (event 2d): The quality (CPICH Ec/No) on the UTRAN side below threshold. Stop measuring on GSM cells (event 2f): The quality on the UTRAN side above threshold. Handover trigger condition (event 3a): The quality of the UTRAN cell drops below threshold. Signal Strength (RSSI) of GSM cell is above threshold. (gsmThresh3a)

    Compressed Mode
    Compressed Mode Control is a mechanism whereby certain idle periods are created in radio frames during which the UE can perform measurements on other frequencies. The UE can carry out measurements in the neighboring cell, such as GSM cell and FDD cell on another frequency. Start compressed mode (2d) usedFreqThresh2dEcNo and usedFreqThresh2dRscp parameters used as threshold event 2d to triggering compressed mode. Existing measurement quantity is CPICH EC/NO. Higher setting impact to aggressive start compressed mode If event 2d condition is fulfilled during at least a time greater than or equal to timeToTrigger2dEcno milliseconds, then event 2d occurs. Longer setting delays compressed mode start Hysteresis used for event 2d (the estimated quality of the currently used UTRAN frequency is below a certain threshold). Stop compressed mode (2f) usedFreqRelThresh2fEcno used as Relative threshold for event 2f (the estimated quality of the currently used UTRAN frequency is above a certain threshold + usedFreqThresh2dEcNo). If event 2f condition is fulfilled during at least a time greater than or equal to

    IRAT HO Triggering
    IRAT HO Triggering (event 3a) : utranRelThresh3aEcno used as Relative threshold for event 3a versus event 2d (the estimated quality of the currently used WCDMA RAN frequency is below a certain threshold +usedFreqThresh2dEcno and the estimated quality of the GSM system is above a certain threshold in the same time interval) for WCDMA RAN timeToTrigger3a is Time between detection of event 3a and sending of the measurement report. estimated quality of the GSM system threshold is setting by gsmThresh3a

    IRAT HO Strategy
    In order to keep UE longer camp on WCDMA (dedicated mode), event 2d set not aggressive. To ensure better signal level in GSM side before IRAT execution, gsmThresh3a
