In LTE systems Mobility is complicated since there are lots of scenarios including lots of parameters, formulas, calculations and thesholds.
The purpose for this KO is to simplify the calculation for the Mobilty events (Idle Mode and Connected Mode) based on the Paramters thresholds you want to select fo

Mobility Events Sheet
Additionally, there are TAB's for different Events showing the thresholds in graphs for better illustration.
The threshold values are also related to the parameter values in the "Mobility Parameters" sheet and change automatically based on your input.
This is very helpful when you need to make new Mobility strategies; you can select different parameter settings and graphically see the thresholds that influence mob
This is important to set the proper mobility parameters, espcially there are many dependencies among the event thresholds.
The Events that are illustrated Graphycally are:
Idle Mode Cell-reselection (LTE->LTE)
Idle Mode cell-reselection (LTE->UMTS)
Connected Mode: Intra frequency HO (LTE->LTE)A3 Event
Connected Mode: IRAT Session ContinuityA2 Event
3G Idle Mode: Cell-reselection (UMTS->LTE)
A5 Event
B2 Event
This KO illustrates the mobility events in LTE showing the parameters, thresholds, formulas and calculations controlling the mobility Events.
The graphs with the thresholds triggering the mobility events will be helpful also to visualize the effect of the parameters' settings and dependencies.
Using this KO will be mostly beneficial to facilitate calculation of mobility event thresholds, especially when setting Mobility strategies for your netwokrs.
This KO is based completely on Alex documents related to Idle Mode, Session Continuity, HO features.

IntraFreq Cell Reselection will start when sRxLev <= sIntraSearch. Ranking for cells will be based on:
R(serving) = Meas RSRP + qHyst
R(neighbor) = Meas RSRP -qOffset.
IRAT Cell Reselection will start when sRxLev <= sNonIntraSearch. The cell reselection will happen when Srxlev < threshServingLow and the Target 3G
cell Srxlev > threshXLow
Coverage triggered session continuity will start based on RSRP (Primary measurement) and RSRQ (secondary Measurement) when it fulfills A2
Event. The UE will release LTE with redirect message, thus it goes to idle mode and selects a suitable 3G cell.
