cells----active set.
The handover among different cells which are in
same RLS can be softer handover.
Soft handover:
Selection combination in uplink
Maximum combination in downlink
Softer handover
Maximum combination in uplink and downlink
36
Multi-Cell gain: Multiple irrelated soft handover branches low the required margin
for fading
Macro Diversity Combining gain: Gain for the link demodulation of the soft
handover:
Load balance: Different cells receive the signals from UE in uplink, which can
decrease the transmission power of UE. And UE receive signal from different
cells, which also can decrease the transmission power of base station.
Decrease the possibility of call drop caused by ping-pong handover.
Disadvantages
More resource needed in downlink, especially for the code resource of BE
service.
Usually, the gain of downlink power is negative.
When the downlink power from different cells is not balanced, it will bring sideeffect.

Key Parameters
Relative threshold
Set 1A, 1B value separately
1A < 1B which makes deleting RL is more difficult,
Time to trigger
Each event can be set separately
Usually, 1B>1A which makes deleting RL is more
handover
45
Characters
UE only has one RL with one cell in the process of
handover
Disconnect UE with the original cell, then hand it over
to target cell
The working frequency of source cell and target cell
are same
Advantages
Enhance the using efficiency of the OVSF code and
hardware resource
Disadvantages
High call drop possibility because of the intra-
frequency interference
Application scenarios

Event reporting:
3A event The estimated quality value of the used UTRAN
frequency is lower than a certain threshold, and that of the
other system is higher than a certain threshold .
Periodic reporting:
Evaluation According to the periodic reported GSM RSSI
measurement value and the BSIC confirming state of target
cell of GSM system, and meanwhile the UE evaluates the
GSM RSSI of target cell is greater than the absolute
threshold, then consider the cell confirmed by BSIC.

higher than a absolute threshold.
