Handover
CS handover/PS handover
When subscriber originates service, 2G-3G interworking occurs during the service connection between UE and mobile networks. The service falls into two types:
CS handoverCS PS handoverPS
coverage capacity
GSM covers the whole area GSM faces heavy capacity load
Relation between GSM and WCDMA at the initial state: WCDMA focuses on coverage and tries to form complete coverage with the help of GSM; GSM reduce its load pressure with the help of WCDMA.

PLMN selection
RPLMN
PLMN selection after UE is powered Change of PLMN ie. reselection, which occurs during cell User Controlled PLMN Selector reselection with Access Technology in USIM
HPLMN
PLMN with good signal quality (in random order) Other PLMN [in order of signal quality (high-low)]
Histeresis of 6minsafter UE resides in GSM network, it has to wait for at least 6mins before it can return to 3G network.
PLMA selection
Search cell
Cell is non-HPLMN
N
Reside in cell at random call barring
Keep searching cells
Formula:
Squal = Qqualmeas Qqualmin Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas Qrxlevmin Compansation
If
For FDD: Squal > 0 & Srxlev > 0 For TDD: Srxlev > 0
then UE will take the cell as a suitable one and reside in it.

NC2
MS sends MRs to network, and realizes cell reselection only based on the reselection order from network. Only when cell reselection is triggered by failure of sending downlink signalling or random access, will MS execute autonomous cell reselection.
Realization ofNC2/NCCR
BSC and RNC can collect information of external cells through Gb (lur-g) interface and RIM process. (Currently we can only realize external NACC through Gb interface and RIM process.)
BSC/RNC 1 CN
RAN Information Request
BSC/RNC 2
Master BSC enables external cells to start RAN Information Send process through RAN Information Request, so as to transmit the system information of external cells to the serving cell.

Besides the important parameters listed above, some other parameters are also sent to MS in the system messages, such as: FDD_REP_QUANT measurement of quantity, RSCP or Ec/No REPORT_TYPEtype of MR, MR or EMR;
To decide target cell through processing of MRs and the strategy of network selection priority :
MSC controls strategy of network selection priority HANDOVER REQUEST carries Service Handover field, which is used to indicate handover strategy for BSC in the following handover process. BSC controls the strategy of network selection priority Based on the configuration principles set in OMCR, BSC decides which network shall be prioritized for handover according to the strategy of network selection priority, which can be set in OMCR as well.
Whats more, if both WCDMA and TD-SCDMA adjacent cells are available at the same time, the priority of WCDMA and TD-SCDMA can be decided through parameter FDD/TDD handoverFDDTDDPrio at iBSC side.

UE
Signaling connection establishment reject
UTRAN
Signaling establishment fails due to lack of resource in 3G network; 3G is redirected to be 2G network; UE starts access again in 2G network without target cell defined.
CN
Handover request
UTRAN
When RNC receives RAB assignment message, if CN requires handover of corresponding services to 2G system, UTRAN handover process will be started, which is 3G-2G handover, thus 3G network performance will be optimized.
UTRAN
Assignment failure
CN
Service establishment fails due to lack of resource in 3G network; if its 2G-supported CS service or low-rate PS service, 3G will appoint suitable 2G cell, and CN will start handover to the appointed 2G cell.
