To share the load between the cells, the MSC may request the BSC to perform a
specified number of handovers from one specified cell (high load) to other
specified adjacent cells which have less load.
The BSC examines if there are any calls that can be handed over from the serving
cell to some of these specified adjacent cells. In this case it suffices that the
specified adjacent cells satisfy the following equation (3) in addition to the
basic equation 1.
EQUATION 3.
AV_RXLEV_NCELL (n) > TrhoTargetLevel (n) + MAX (0, Pa) ; Where Pa = ( MsTxPwrMaxGSM1x00 (ADJ) (n) - P )
EQUATION 1.
AV_RXLEV_NCELL (n) > RxLevMinCell (n) + MAX (0, Pa) Where Pa = ( MsTxPwrMaxGSM1x00 (ADJ) (n) - P )
EQUATION 2.
PBGT (n) > HoMarginPBGT (n)
The parameter TRHO target level(n) (TRHO) (set for each adjacent cell) is the level which the signal level
AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n) of the adjacent cell (n) must exceed before the traffic reason handover to the adjacent cell
(n) is possible.
MS txpwr max gsm(n) (PMAX1)-P or MS txpwr max gsm1x00(n) (PMAX2)-P, depending on the frequency band, is the difference
between the maximum RF power that an MS is permitted to use on a traffic channel in the adjacent cell (n) and the
maximum power of the MS (P).
Advanced Multilayer Handling
BSC Initiated Traffic Reason HO
Relieve load on contested cell(s)
Distribute load over the network
If the traffic load of the serving cell
exceeds a threshold, the different
(smaller) power budget margin is used
for all adjacent cells instead of the
existing HO margin pbgt (PMRG).
BSC amhLowerLoad 0...100 %, step 1 Defines the lower threshold for the load of 20 % ALT
Threshold % the base station. The parameter is used to
trigger advanced multilayer handling
functionality with IUO and/or Dual Band/
microcell features.
If there is little traffic in serving cell, the following handovers are not allowed:
- FMMS, DADL/B, Umbrella, fast moving MS support / MS speed detection
