In below signaling trace, In Msg 858,859, UE report 3A event with measure ID7.
RNC receive event 3A, then RNC start the handover to 2G.
When UE in CELL_DCH state, the 3G-to-2G handover in the PS domain is triggered
after the UTRAN sends a CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message
Even though 2D and 2F Values are -110 & -107, 3A event triggered at signal level
-92 and inter-rat Ho happen.
RSCP Value at Event 3A
But when cfgmml is checked in detail, it is identified, even for the inter-rat HO
interfrequency Ho thresh holds are set due to below configuration Line.
SET UHOCOMM:
COEXISTMEASTHDCHOICE=COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ
Meaning: event 2D/2F measurement threshold of which measurement type (interfrequency or inter-RAT measurements) will be used, when inter-frequency and interRAT measurements coexist.
When COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ is selected, event 2D/2F
measurement thresholds oriented towards inter-frequency configuration are
selected. When COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERRAT is selected, event 2D/2F
measurement thresholds oriented towards inter-RAT configuration are selected.
Cause
Since The COEXISTMEASTHDCHOICE is set to
COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ,
Thresh-hold of Inter-freq is only taken for Inter-rat Handovers also.
Since inter-frequency Handover setting is high RSCP values, even at good RSCP
levels 3G Handover to 2G.
Solution:
As a solution to this COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERRAT is selected.
ADD UCELLHOCOMM: CellId=xxx, InterFreqRATSwitch=SIMINTERFREQRAT,
CoexistMeasThdChoice=COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERRAT;
As a result inter-rat Ho to 2G came down drastically as shown in the below diagram.
Suggestion:
It is worthwhile check two other things if the Data services are struck in Edge
frequently.
1. In the UE tracing from System Information Type2quarter Qsearch P Value
can be checked. For example if the value is 14, that wont allow the phone to
reselect to 3G Data easily once the phone moves to 2G. It will search for 3G if
the signal level of 2G is better than -54 only. Then the chances of moving
back to 3G are low.
2. Threshold of below parameters can be adjusted to reduce the movement to
2G.
