Description
A primary CPICH enters the reporting range. This indicates that the quality of a cell is close to the quality of the best cell in the active set. A relatively high combined gain can be achieved when the cell is added to the active set. A primary CPICH leaves the reporting range. This indicates that a cell has a lower quality than the best cell in the active set. The cell has to be deleted from the active set. A non-active primary CPICH becomes better than an active primary CPICH. This indicates that the quality of a cell is better than the quality of the worst cell in the active set. The RNC replaces a cell in the active set with a cell in the monitored set. The best cell changes.

RAN10.0 provides the solution to the issue of how to add an HSUPA cell in a DCH active set to an E-DCH active set. Event 1J is added to the 3GPP protocol. This event is triggered when a non-active E-DCH but active DCH primary CPICH becomes better than an active E-DCH Copyright primary CPICH. 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Start the hard handover time-to-trigger timer, which is configured through the parameter TimeToTrigForPrdInterFreq If M other_Freq + CIOother_Freq < Tother_Freq - H/2, stop the timer Select the cells in sequence, that is, from high quality cells to low quality ones, to initiate inter-frequency handover in the cells where the hard handover time-to-trigger timer expires

Step 1: Based on the handover state, the RNC determines how to trigger an inter-frequency blind handover:
Perform direct blind handover, go to step 2 Perform conditional blind handover, go to step 3 Do not perform blind handover
Step 2: The RNC check whether the conditions of direct blind handover are met or not. If yes, UE perform direct blind handover. Otherwise, go to step 3 Step 3: The RNC check whether the conditions of conditional blind handover are met or not. If yes, UE perform conditional blind handover. Otherwise, not perform blind handover

When a coverage-based inter-frequency handover or an inter-frequency blind handover based on event 1F occurs, the RNC starts the timer specified by IFAntiPingpangTimerLength for the UE When a non-coverage-based inter-frequency handover is triggered, first, the RNC determines whether the timer specified by IFAntiPingpangTimerLength expires
If the timer does not expire, the RNC cancels the handover If the timer expires, the RNC performs the handover
