RNC. The genertion of handover events depend on the different RF parameters and thresholds. event 1A: A Primary CPICH enters the reporting range; addition of a radio link. event 1B: A primary CPICH leaves the reporting range; removal of a radio link. event 1C: A non-active primary CPICH becomes better than an active primary CPICH; replacement of the worst cell in AS. event 1D: Change of best cell event 1E: A Primary CPICH becomes better than an absolute threshold event 1F: A Primary CPICH becomes worse than an absolute threshold event 1G: Change of best cell (TDD) event 1H: Timeslot ISCP below a certain threshold (TDD) event 1I: Timeslot ISCP above a certain threshold (TDD) Event 2a: Change of best frequency Event 2b: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is below a certain threshold and the estimated quality of a non-used frequency is above a certain threshold; handover to inter-freq neighbors Event 2c: The estimated quality of a non-used frequency is above a certain threshold Event 2d: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is below a certain threshold; start compressed mode to measure inter-freq WCDMA or GSM neighbors. Event 2e: The estimated quality of a non-used frequency is below a certain threshold Event 2f: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is above a certain threshold; stop compressed mode & stop measure inter-freq WCDMA or GSM neighbors Event 3a: The estimated quality of the currently used UTRAN frequency is below a certain threshold and the estimated quality of the other system is above a certain threshold; handover to GSM neighbors Event 3b: The estimated quality of other system is below a certain threshold Event 3c: The estimated quality of other system is above a certain threshold Event 3d: Change of best cell in other system event 4 A: Transport Channel Traffic Volume becomes larger than an absolute threshold event 4 B: Transport Channel Traffic Volume becomes smaller than an absolute threshold event 5A: A predefined number of bad CRCs is exceeded event 6A: The UE Tx power becomes larger than an absolute threshold; start compressed mode event 6B: The UE Tx power becomes less than an absolute threshold; stop compressed mode event 6C: The UE Tx power reaches its minimum value event 6D: The UE Tx power reaches its maximum value event 6E: The UE RSSI reaches the UE's dynamic receiver range event 6F: The UE Rx-Tx time difference for a RL included in the active set becomes larger than an absolute threshold event 6G: The UE Rx-Tx time difference for a RL included in the active set becomes less than an absolute threshold
Event 7a: The UE position changes more than an absolute threshold Event 7b: SFN-SFN measurement changes more than an absolute threshold Event 7c: GPS time and SFN time have drifted apart more than an absolute threshold

LTE Measurement Events and Description Event A1 - Serving becomes better than threshold UMTS Measurement Events and Description e2f - The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is above a certain threshold e2d - The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is below a certain threshold e1a - A Primary CPICH enters the reporting range Comments In LTE this may be used to stop looking for a cell on a different frequency or technology, as e2f is used in UMTS. In LTE this may be used to start looking for a cell on a different frequency or technology, as e2d is used in UMTS. This comparison is a bit of a stretch. The reason I have equated them is because in both cases a neighbor should be considered for a handover, either soft or hard depending on the technology.
Event A4 - Neighbor becomes better than threshold Event A5 - Serving becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbor becomes better than threshold2
e1e - A Primary CPICH becomes better than an absolute threshold e2b - The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is below a certain threshold and the estimated quality of a non-used frequency is above a certain threshold
This comparison is good for saying that the current cell is below an absolute threshold and the new cell is above a threshold. This would mean that the current cell is not good enough and the new one is good, which is a good reason to do a hard handover (in either technology).
Event B1 - Inter RAT neighbor becomes better than threshold Event B2 - Serving becomes worse than threshold1 and inter RAT neighbor becomes better than threshold2
e3c - The estimated quality of other system is above a certain threshold e3a - The estimated quality of the currently used UTRAN frequency is below a certain threshold and the estimated quality of the other system is above a certain threshold
This comparison is good for saying that the current cell is below an absolute threshold and the new cell on a different technology is above a threshold. This would mean that the current cell is not good enough and the new one is good, which is a good reason to do a hard handover to the new technology.
