Technical Description
3.1

WCDMA GSM cell reselection involves the change on the GSM side in addition to
certain co-working of the GSM side required by NACC, so the process is not described in
this document.
The NACC (network assistant cell change) process is described in detail in document
ZGO-02-02-011 Inter-BSC NACC .
The NCCR (network controlled cell reselection) process is described in detail in
document ZGO-02-03-004 Inter-system NCCR.
3.1.1
0-15

current GSM cell RLA_C is above the threshold of the Qsearch_I parameter (-78dBm
when Qsearch_I is set to 8).
The MS conducts decoding and measurement on the CPICH (Common Pilot Channel)
when the adjacent cell meets the search criteria.
The cell phone updates the field intensity RLA_C of the serving GSM cell and receiving
levels of 6 strongest non-serving GSM cells (including GSM and WCDMA cells) at least
once every 5 seconds.
If the measurement on WCDMA cells is started (which means the value of Qsearch_I is
not 15), the GSM side also needs to include the FDD_Qoffset and FDD_Qmin
parameters in the system broadcast message System information type 2quater or
System information type 2ter. The parameter definitions are as follows:
XXX_Qoffset
0-15
0-7
re-selection,
0= -20dB, 1= -6dB, 2= -18dB, 3= -8dB, 4= -16dB, 5= -10dB, 6=
-14dB, 7= -12dB.
Default value= -12dB.
These two parameters control the cross-system cell reselection. After measurement of
WCDMA cells is performed for a certain period of time, the MS obtains the RSCP (or
RSSI) value or Ec/No value of the CPICH channel and compares the same with the
reselection parameter FDD_Qoffset and FDD_Qmin. The algorithm is as follows: a UE
can reselect the UTRAN adjacent cell if the following 3 requirements are satisfied:
RSCP >= FDD_Qoffset + RLA_C, that is the RSCP of this adjacent cell is higher than the
average receiving level RLA_C of this cell.
RSCP >= FDD_Qoffset + RLA_n, that is the RSCP of the adjacent cell is higher than
RLA_C of all adjacent GSM cells by at least FDD_Qoffset (FDD reselection offset) for
12
more than 5 seconds (FDD_Qoffset of the cell increases by 5dB to prevent pingpong
reselection if the cell is reselected 15 seconds earlier).
Ec/No >= FDD_Qmin, that is Ec/No (code-noise ratio) of this adjacent cell is larger than
or equal to designated FDD_Qmin.
If more than one UTRAN cell meets the above conditions, then select the cell which has
the largest RSCP.
If adjacent WCDMA cells meet conditions, then reselect the adjacent WCDMA cells.
3.1.2
showed in clause 3.1.1 also work on cell re-selection in packet idle mode and packet
transfer mode.MS shall use Qsearch-I and idle mode cell re-selection parameters.
In addition, the relevant parameters for inter-system cell reselection (3G adjacent cell
information, cell reselection measurement and control parameters) can be sent to the MS
in active state through the Packet Cell Change Order or Packet Measurement Order
command. These parameters will be used in the PS cell reselection by MS in active
state.
If the inter-system cell reselection parameter carried in the Packet Cell Change Order or
Packet Measurement Order message is different from the cell reselection parameter
broadcast on the BCCH, then the MS in active state will treat the cell reselection
parameter carried in the Packet Cell Change Order or Packet Measurement Order
message as standard parameter and we refer to this solution as using the cell
reselection parameter different from that in idle state for the PS in active state. For
detailed description, refer to ZGO-02-02-013 Different Cell Reselection Parameters
Used in Idle and Active Packet States.
Qsearch_P is broadcast on BCCH. It shall be used only if cell re-selection parameters for
one or more cells are provided to the MS in a Packet Cell Change Order or Packet
Measurement Order message.

NC2: "network control", the MS shall send measurement reports to the network. The
MS shall only perform cell reselection according to the cell reselection order of the
network. The MS shall only perform autonomous cell reselection when the reselection is
triggered by a downlink signaling failure or a random access failure.
To support NCCR (network controlled cell reselection), Network_Control_Order is sent in
the SI13 and SI2quater messages on BCCH or PSI13 message on PACCH. In addition,
the BSS may also trigger the NCCR to be performed by the MS through the
Network_Control_Order parameter included in the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER
or PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message.
Considering that the NC2 mode contributes more to the TBF transmission efficiency in
the packet transmission state, we only use the NC2 mode in the packet transmission
state and use the NC0 or NC1 mode in the packet idle state, that is we do not set
Network_Control_Order to NC2 in the PSI5, SI13 and SI2quater messages but enable
the
NC2
mode
only
by

message

In addition, the BSS can also control the priority at which the MS reports to the cell
through the REPORTING_THRESHOLD and FDD_REPORTING_OFFSET parameters
in the downlink message. The indication of these two parameters is specified as follows:

When the network operates in NC1 or NC2 mode, the BSS controls the period of reporting
the cell reselection measurement report through the NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_I,
NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_T and NC_NON_DRX_PERIOD parmaeters (sent in the
PSI5 or SI13 and SI2quater messae in the same way as Network_Control_Order is sent);

and applies weighted averaging to the measurement level RXLEV of the serving cell and
adjacent GSM cell and the RCSP or Ec/No of the adjacent 3G cell.
Considering that the period of reporting the packet measurement report is relatively long
and the intervals at which the measurement report is reported are different, for example,
a measurement report is not reported, so different weighting factors are adopted
according to the difference between reporting of the measurement report within the slide
window and latest measurement report. The principle is that the larger the difference
from the time when the current report is reported is the weighting factor is smaller, which
means the influence on the average is smaller. The weighting factors for the serving cell
and adjacent cell in the same measurement report are the same, which means the
weighting factor is applied to the original measurement value although the moving
average method is used in processing the measurement report. In addition, the size of
the slide window is configured through the back-end system.
Criteria for triggering cell reselection:
The criteria for triggering network controlled cell reselection from 2G to 3G in the BSC
and algorithm for deciding the reselection are as follows:
In the RSCP mode, a MS can reselect the adjacent UTRAN cell when all of the 2
requirements are satisfied:
RSCP >= FDD_GPRS_Qoffset + RLA_n, that is RSCP of this adjacent cell is higher than
the RLA_P of all adjacent GSM cells by at least FDD_GPRS_Qoffset (FDD reselection
offset).
RSCP >= FDD_RSCP_threshold
If more than one UTRAN cell meets the above conditions, then select the cell which has
the largest RSCP.
In the Ec/No mode, a MS can reselect the adjacent UTRAN cell when the following
condition is met:
Ec/No >= FDD_Qmin - FDD_Qmin_Offset, that is Ec/No (code-noise ratio) of this
adjacent cell is larger than or equal to designated FDD_Qmin and set offset.
17
If more than one UTRAN cell meets the above conditions, then select the cell which has
the largest RSCP.
The BSC notifies the MS through the PCCO message to perform cell reselection:
When the BSC decides that the MS needs to perform cell reselection, then it needs to
notify the MS through the Packet Cell Change Order message.
In the packet transmission mode, the Packet Cell Change Order and Packet
Measurement Order messages are sent to the cell phone on PACCH.
After receiving the cell reselection order sent by the network, the cell phone tries access
in the target cell. If the access is successful, the cell phone does not notify the original
cell, the entire cell reselection is complete and the cell phone reports the measurement
report of the new cell. If the access is not successful, then the cell phone returns to the
original cell and applies for a single block resource to send the Packet Cell Change
Failure (PCCF) message. After obtaining radio resources, the cell phone sends the
Packet Cell Change Failure message to the network.
Preferential algorithm for NC2 reselection:
In the UTRAN test configuration for the BSC, a switch decides whether to support 2/3G
preferred control during PS reselection/handover. This switch is disabled by default. If
this switch is enabled, then there are 6 optional strategies for the PS reselection:
0: reselect to 3G with priority;
1: do not reselect to 3G with priority;
2: do not allow reselection to 3G;
3: reselect to 3G with priority by default based on SGSN;
4: do not reselect to 3G with priority based on SGSN;
5: do not allow reselection to 3G by default based on SGSN.

Inter-system Handover
3.2.1
CS Handover (GSM->WCDMA)
The BSC includes the parameter that indicates the MS is required to conduct the
measurement on adjacent WCDMA cells in the broadcast message System information
type 2quater
and engaged in a call may also receive the Measurement Information message sent by
the BSC on the downlink SACCH. This message also includes the information about the
adjacent WCDMA cells and WCDMA measurement parameters.
The System information type 2quater and Measurement Information messages contain
relatively important control parameters correlated to the adjacent cell measurement and
handover in addition to the description of the wireless parameters of the adjacent 3G
cells.
Qsearch_C
This parameter is the threshold when the MS starts measurement of inter-system cells
(namely adjacent WCDMA cells). This parameter defines a threshold and UE performs
search for adjacent 3G cell when the average receiving level RLA_C of the current cell is
lower than (when the parameter ranges from 0 to 7) or higher than (when the parameter
ranges from 8 to 15) this threshold. The values are specified as follows:
20
Qsearch_C
0-15
(0-7):
- 98, - 94, , - 74 dBm, (always)
or above threshold (8-15):
- 78, - 74, , - 54 dBm, (never)
0/1
In other words, when the value of the Qsearch_C_Initial parameter is 0, the value of the
QSearch_I parameter will be the threshold for performing the inter-system cell
measurement; when the value of the Qsearch_C_Initial parameter is 1, then the MS is
always conducting measurement on inter-system cells.
3G_SEARCH_PRIO
This parameter indicates whether BSIC decoding is needed during search and
measurement of adjacent 3G cells (the longest period is 13s). The meaning of different
parameter values is specified as below:
3G_SEARCH_PRIO
0/1
decoding is required,
0 = no, 1 = yes
Default value = no
FDD_REP_QUANT
21
SHOLD
0-7
FDD_REPORTING_THRESHOLD_2
This parameter indicates to the MS that the measurement data of a cell canbe reported if
the measurement value that not specified in the FDD_REP_QUANT parameter of that
cell is equal or greater than this threshold (for example, when RSCP is specified by
FDD_REP_QUANT, then measurement results of a cell canbe reported if the Ec/No of that
cell > =FDD_REPORTING_THRESHOLD_2). The meaning of different parameter values
is specified as below:
22
FDD_REPORTING_THRE
SHOLD_2
0-63
FDD_REP_QUANT.
Default value = 0 (disabled)
After the MS performs measurement on the adjacent WCDMA cells, it reports to the BSC
the Measurement Report or Enhanced Measurement Report at regular intervals (480ms)
and the BSC decides whether to start handover according to the GSM handover
algorithm and measurement information.
If the Measurement Report message is adopted, when BCCH_FREQ_NCELL of the
adjacent cell =31, the corresponding RXLEV_NECLL indicates the measurement result
of an adjacent 3G cell (RSCP or Ec/No) and the corresponding BSIC indicates the
location of that adjacent 3G cell in the adjacent 3G cell list. So, the maximum adjacent
cells that can be reported by the adjacent GSM cell decreases to 31 (from 32).
The procedures for GSM->WCDMA voice handover signaling are as shown in Figure

The target RNC allocates radio resources for this handover and configures NodeB
through the RL SETUP process;
The RNC configures radio resources allocated to the MS and other parameter packets to
the MS;
The synchronization of air interface between the MS and NodeB is performed;
After detecting the MS, the NodeB sends to the RNC the RL Restore message;
After receiving the RL Restore message, the RNC sends to the WCDMA MSC the
Relocation Detect message;
The MS sends to the RNC the Handover To WCDMA Complete message;
The RNC sends to the WCDMA MSC the Iu interface Relocation Complete message and
the RNCWCDMA handover is complete.
The GSM->WCDMA voice handover deciding algorithm is completed by the GSM BSS.
To support inter-system handover, the GSM BSS must support 3GPP R99 and later
protocols. ZTEs BSC equipment currently is compatible with the 3GPP R5 standard, so
it completely supports GSM->WCDMA voice handover. Detailedly speaking, the
capabilities that the GSM BSS equipment must have to support inter-system handover at
least include:
Support the configuration of the adjacent WCDMA cell;
Support the System Information Type 2quater message for sending to the MS the
adjacent cell list and measurement control parameters and reporting the adjacent
WCDMA cell measurement report at the appropriate time;
Support sending the information about the adjacent WCDMA cell and measurement
control information fo the WCDMA cell to the MS, that is the GSM BSS equipment must
support sending the new system message Measurement Information in the active state.

When the service channel occupancy ratio (number of occupied TCHs/total TCHs
(excluding blocked channels)) of the serving cell is higher than the traffic threshold of
serving cell TrafficThs, it is decided that the cell is too busy and the traffic handover is
triggered. Processing of measurement report reported by MS:
When it is decided whether to handover to the 3G cell or GSM cell and the measurement
report from the MS is being processed, the conditions for triggering handover from GSM
to WCDMA and those for selecting the target cell are related to network priority selection
policy. The network priority selection policy refers to whether the WCDMA or GSM
network will be selected with priority during handover.
Whether the WCDMA cell or GSM cell is selected with priority can be controlled by either
the MSC or BSC.

The BSC decides which network will be selected with priority during the handover based

be adopted (to be controlled by MSC or BSC) can be configuredby parameter ServiceHo .
If the BSC decides the handover preference policy is configured(0,1,2) in the cell
attribute, then whether 3G or 2G is preferred is decided based on the handover cell
selection policy configured in the OMCR. If the MSC decides the handover preference

In addition, the BSC side can control the priority order of WCDMA and TD-SCDMA
through the parameter FDD/TDD Handover (FDDTDDPrio) if the WCDMA adjacent cell
and TD-SCDMA adjacent cell exist at the same time.
The conditions for triggering handover from 2G to 3G are:
28
Designate a strength threshold (with different thresholds set respectively for the RSCP
and Ec/No) for the 3G adjacent cell, if the policy is Handover to WCDMA preferred,
handover to 3G can be triggered when at least P of N RSCP or Ec/No slide averages are
larger than or equal to the threshold.
Taking the RSCP mode as example, parameters 3GHoRSCPThs, 3GHoRSCP_P and
3GHoRSCP_N are defined, wherein 3GHoRSCPThs is a threshold and indicates the
counter will be accumulated only when a slide calculation result exceeds this threshold,
so the cell will be the candidate cell where handover is performed from GSM to WCDMA
if more than 3GHoRSCP_P calculation values in continuous 3GHoRSCP_N sliding
average results exceed the threshold 3GHoRSCPThs.
Taking the Ec/No mode as example, parameters 3GHoEcNoThs, 3GHoEcNo_P and
3GHoEcNo_N are defined, wherein 3GHoEcNoThs is a threshold and indicates the
counter will be accumulated only when a slide calculation result exceeds this threshold,
so the cell will be the candidate cell where handover is performed from GSM to WCDMA
if more than 3GHoEcNo_P calculation values in continuous 3GHoEcNo_N sliding
average results exceed the threshold 3GHoEcNoThs.
If the handover is because of emergency reason,eg. RQ or Level,and handover to
WCDMA is allowed, when there is no suitable GSM neighbor cell and there is suitable
WCDMA neighbour cell,handover to WCDMA will also be triggered.
Conditions for selecting target 3G cell
The difference between WCDMA and GSM handover cell selection lists lies in that only
an adjacent cell with best level value is selected as the target cell during WCDMA
handover if multiple adjacent WCDMA cells satisfy the requirements for deciding
handover. The conditions for selecting target cell and deciding handover are the same
with the only difference in that the P and N averages are not used but the latest slide
average level is used as the decision criteria. Because WCDMA handover is external
handover, only one attempt is made.
That is, the sliding averaging is applied to the calculation of the RSCP and Ec/No of the
target cell. The sliding averaging is the same as the calculation for the source cell, but
different parameters can be set. The involved sliding averaging parameters include
HoWindowUTRAN (size of slide window of the Ec/No or RSCP average of the adjacent
29
cell) and ZeroAllowedUTRAN (number of measured values of the UTRAN adjacent cell
that are allowed to be 0).
Directed Retry Handover
For detailed description of directed retry, refer to ZGB-03-01-002 Directed Retry.
Currently, the method for deciding whether the 3G adjacent cell meets the conditions for
directed retry is the same as that for deciding whether to perform handover: the cell can
be treated as the target cell for directed retry only when at least HORSCP_P_FDD
(HOECNO_P_FDD) of the latest HORSCP_N_FDD (HOECNO_N_FDD) RSCP
averages are larger than or equal to HoRSCPThsFDD (HOECNOTHSFDD) plus
HORSCPOFFSET3G (HOECNOOFFSET3G) of this adjacent cell. When multiple cells
meet the condition, the cell which has the largest average measured value is the target
cell and at maximum one cell will be selectedfor directed retry.,because directed retry to
3G is external handover.
In addition, whether to allow directed retry to 3G cell can be controlled by the parameter
InterSysRdCtrl. What also needs to be noted is that when directed retry is needed an
attempt is made to request resources from an internal cell and external directed retry is
performed in case of failure. Whether external directed retry to 2G cell or 3G cell is
preferred is decided based on the network preference selection policy. Network
preference selection measurement is obtained based on the value of SERVICE
HANDOVER (issued by the MSC) or ServiceHo (configured by BSC), including 3G cell
preferred, 2G cell preferred and 3G cell not allowed.
To support directed retry, the directed retry switch Drlnd needs to be enabled.
Handover triggered by query handover
Currently the method for deciding whether a 3G adjacent cell meets the handover
conditions during handover query is the same as that for deciding whether to perform
handover: the cell can be treated as the target cell only when at least HORSCP_P_FDD
(HOECNO_P_FDD) of the latest HORSCP_N_FDD (HOECNO_N_FDD) RSCP
averages are larger than or equal to HoRSCPThsFDD (HOECNOTHSFDD) plus

message. In this way, the cell reselection of GSM->WCDMA adopts the cell priority
based reselection algorithm. MSs not supporting this algorithm employs the cell
sequence based reselection algorithm.
This feature requires the support of MSs in later versions of R8.
3.2.2
CS Handover (WCDMA->GSM)
The main requirements for CS handover from WCDMA to GSM are made on the
WCDMA network side. What is important to the GSM side is that:
The BSSAP signaling Handover Request message in the A interface at least is required
to support R99 version, which means the message needs to adapt to the change of the
coding mode of the parameter Cell identifier (Serving) carrying the ID of the WCDMA
source cell;
The RF values of 6 and 7 in classmark2 carried in the BSSAP signaling handover
request message will be ignored;
The encryption algorithm issued by the GSM MSC can be ignored even though the
encryption function of the BSS is not enabled, and the subsequent handover procedures
will be normally performed;
When the BSS sends to GSM MSC HANDOVER REQUEST

to RXLEV063. This is applicable only when the PACKET
ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT message is used.
If the signal strength of the adjacent cell exceeds -48 dBm, the system
can use this parameter to report the actual value and the UE reports
the
SCALE value in the PACKET ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT
message. If SCALE_ORD=2, the UE uses a minimum offset, which is
sufficient for reporting the cell with the strongest signal level.

Network Impact
Enabling the 2-3G inter-operation function can integrate the 2G and 3G networks. By
reasonably configuring parameters, the two networks can be made to provide
complementary coverage and complementary network capacities, thus giving a better
play to the capacity advantages of the 2G network in CS service and rate advantages of
the 3G network in PS service and providing better network experience for the subscriber.
