Connected Mode Mobility

Overview
Handovers Introduction

Handovers in LTE are:

Hard handovers: resources are prepared in the target cell before the UE is commanded to move to
the target cell
Lossless: Packets are forwarded from the source to the target cell.
Network controlled: The target cell is selected by the network not by the UE. The handover control
is in the e-UTRAN not in the Core Network.
UE-assisted: Measurements are made and reported by the UE to the network although it is the
network (eNodeB) which triggers those measurements.
Late path switch: Only when the inter eNodeB handover is successful, the packet core is involved
(X2 required).
Connected Mode Mobility Options

Intra-LTE (or Intra-RAT) handovers:

Intra frequency handovers within the same frequency band. There are 2 scenarios :
Intra-eNodeB handover (i.e. inter sector/ intra site)
Inter-eNodeB handover (i.e. inter site)
Inter-eNodeB handover can happen via the X2 interface or via the S1 interface. The DL data forwarding over
X2 is applied for lossless data path switching.
Inter-frequency handovers that allow service continuity for LTE deployments in different frequency
bands and also for LTE deployments within one frequency band but with different centre frequencies.

Inter-RAT handovers:
These are the handovers to other radio access technologies (RAT) to provide continuous PS coverage:
LTE HO to WCDMA
LTE HO to/from GSM
LTE HO to/from HRPD (3GPP2)
Network assisted cell change (NACC) to GSM
Unlike in the handover procedure no resources are prepared in the target system. The UE will enter GSM in
RRC Idle mode and start the RRC Connection Setup procedure in GSM
HO Process Overview
UE continuously monitors the serving cell. Events A2/A1* are used
Measurements activation/de-activation to activate/de-activate neighbors measurements when radio
conditions are getting worse

The reports of neighbors are triggered by A3 & A5 events for intra-RAT

Event based neighbor reports neighbors and B2 event for the inter-RAT neighbors

The Measurement Report message contains a prioritized list of

Measurement Reports from UE neighbors (best neighbor first)

eNodeB decides the urgency of HO and identifies a prioritized list of

HO target cells. The eNodeB selects the target cell for HO as well as
the handover mode.
HO target & mode selection in eNodeB The HO/NACC mode could be:
-Intra eNB HO
-Intra LTE inter eNB via X2
-Intra LTE inter eNB via S1
-HO to WCDMA
-NACC to GSM
HO execution

* LTE standard supports events A1-A5 & B1, B2

NACC= network assisted cell change
