Handover Data Process
BCCH frequencies of all adjacent cells in BA2 table are sent to
MS on system message 5.
MS reports measurement report to BSS. It includes the BCCH ,
BSIC and signal level of the adjacent cells and serving cells.
When the measurement report is preprocessed, BSC
determines the CGI of all adjacent cells through BCCH
frequency and BSIC .
BSC executes handover judgment flow such as basic cell
ranking . Once a proper target cell is found, the handoverrequest message which includes the target cell CGI will be
sent to MPU of BSC , and then MPU will confirm the module ID
of the cell based on the CGI.

13/66
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 12
Handover Data Process
MPU sends handover request message to the module and makes
statistics of "outgoing inter cell handover request". At the same time BSC
send the channel active to the BTS.
If the target cell triggered by BSC is an external cell, the CGI of the target
cell and service cell is sent to MSC on the handover required.
By matching the CGI of the target cell, MSC searches target cell . Once
the cell is found, MSC will confirm which BSC is belonged to, and send the
handover request message to this BSC.
If there is no CGI of the target cell , MSC will check Adjacent MSC Table"and find the target MSC, then send the handover request message to that
MSC.

Analysis of Handover Problem
A interface problem
Basically, the insufficient link resource results in the abnormal
handover, as well as abnormal communication.
Circuit pool numbers are different ,causing the handover failure.
Target cell congestion
The target cell is congested, which causes the handover failure.
Then the target cell should be expanded or reduce its traffic .

Analysis of Handover Problem
Handover between equipment of different manufacturers
The signaling at A interface, E interface of the opposite equipment
are not matched to our equipment and can not be recognized or
supported, which causes the handover failure, such as voice version,
handover number, TUP circuit, addressing mode (CGI or LAI).

Handover Case 1
Fault Description
A 1800 cell of a dual-band network (all the 1800 cells belong to
one BSC), the incoming handover success rate of incoming
BSC and intra BSC are low from the beginning of the service,
while the outgoing handover success rate of intra-BSC and
inter-BSC are normal.

Handover Case 1
Analysis:
Register the traffic statistics and analyze whether the low handover
success rate is due to the failure of handover from all cells to this cell or
from some few cells.
If handover fails from some few cells to this cell, check the handover data
and see whether there is co-channel and co-BSIC problem.
If handover fails from all other cells to this cell, check the data of this cell.
If data cause is ruled out, check the hardware carefully. Check the alarm or
perform drive test to locate uplink fault or downlink fault. Check step by
step and find out the cause.

Handover Case 1
Solution:
Register the incoming inter cell handover measurement function and find that the
successful rate of handover from all other cells to this cell is low, although it is not
always 0 percent. Based on careful data checking, the data of this cell is correct.
Perform drive test and find that the downlink signal is normal but almost allhandovers to this cell are failure. Near the BTS, the handover is successful
occasionally. Perhaps the problem is with the uplink signal.
Check the uplink channel, antenna, CDU, they are no problem. Change the TRX ,
everything is normal.
Conclusion: The symptom is that the uplink and downlink at UM interface are unbalanced so
uplink voice quality is bad.

Handover Case 2
Fault Description:
After LAPD software upgrade of a dual-band network on 19th
September, it was found that some cells in module 4 under 1800
network are seriously congested (4050), and overall handover
indices of BSC come down from 95 to 90. From "Inter -cell
Hanover Measurement Function, it was found that besides module 4,
some cells of other modules also suffer from the problem that inter
cell handover success rate is low. After 19thSeptember, the situation
became worse.

Handover Case 2
Analysis:
Check whether it is attributed to LAPD software upgrade.
Analyze traffic statistics and the main causes of the
failure to locate the problem.

Handover Case 2
Solution:
Check whether it is attributed to LAPD software upgrade.
After the upgrade, not all cells under module 4 are
congested and the handover indices of some cells are not
low. Upgrade isnt the cause.
Analyze traffic statistics:
Congested cells are mostly at site A and site B. Their
traffics are lower than before the upgrade. It is a pseudo
congestion.
The cells where handover success rate is low are
mostly at site A, B, C, D and E , the main cause of the
failure is timer timeout.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 34
Handover Cases 2
Solution:
Check alarm: At 19:31 of 18th September, the clock system
alarms of site A and site B occurred. It is found that 13M
clock isnt synchronous. The clock problem result in lowhandover success rate of the two sites. Such impact spread
to the adjacent cells of these two cells and even affected
the whole network.
Analyze handover data and traffic statistics: All cells where
handover success rate is low are adjacent to A and B
except A and B themselves.

Handover Cases 2
Solution:
Reset site A and site B, the clock system is recovered, and the
handover success rate inter/intra BSC goes up to 93. The
problem is solved.
Conclusion:
The problem in clock system will result in low handover success
rate. Pay attention to the alarm console and the excursion of the
clock system.

Handover Cases 3
Solution:
Trace interface message. After receiving HO-REQUEST
message, Huawei BSC returns HO-FAILURE message
immediately. In normal conditions Huawei BSC should return
HO-REQ-ACK message. Carefully analyze HO-REQ message
and HO-FAILURE message.

Handover Cases 3
Solution
HO-FALUER: The cause of the failure is invalid message
content
HO-REQUEST: The difference is basically the Address
Indicator in comparison with the normal handover request
message. HUAWEI BSC does not recognize case 41. The
system thinks that Address Indicator must be 0x43. Inform
the owner of network, modify the relation parameter, and
this problem is solved.

Fault Description:
Huawei MSC cooperate with MSC of N (vender). The
communication is normal. The Huawei intra BSC handover andincoming BSC handover are normal, but outgoing BSC handover
success rate is about 25%. The handover from the N BSC to
Huawei BSC is successful, but opposite is failure sometimes.

Handover Cases 4
Solution:
Check data: There is no fault in BSC and MSC of the two
venders.
Check alarm: BTS maintenance console, No.7 link and Ainterface circuit are all normal.
Trace Huawei A interface signaling. After "HO-REQUIRED"
message is sent, "HO-COMD" command is not received
from MSC.
Trace MAP message at E interface (inter-MSC) with a
signaling meter. It is found that after receiving HO-Number,
Huawei MSC never sends IAI (Initial Address Information).

Handover Cases 4
Solution:
Check HO-Number message from the opposite and find
that the handover code format is 130********(only a number
of mobile telephone, no any prefix). But this mobile
company requires that roaming/handover betweenexchanges should be in the format: 00+country code +
roaming/handover number. In addition, Huawei equipment
does not recognize the handover number without
00+country code. Therefore the signaling is halted.
Discuss with N, asking them to add "00+country code"
before the handover number. Then outgoing BSC handover
is normal.

Handover Cases 5
Solution:
Analyze the Prepare-HO message sent from Huawei MSC
to the opposite. The voice version is full-rate version 1, 2
and half-rate version 1. It is a PHASE 2+ version. Howeverthere is only full-rate version 1 in the message sent from
M900 to Huawei M1800. It turns out that the opposite does
not support half-rate version, so the handover fails.
Modify A interface circuit pool table of Huawei MSC data,only using full-rate version 1.
Then the outgoing BSC handover is normal.

Handover Cases 6
Solution:
Check all data of inter-BSC handover: external cell description
data table, BA2 table, CGI of MSC. No problem is found.
Trace A interface message of BSC1 and BSC2. After BSC1sends "HO-REQUIRED", BSC2 has not received "HO-
REQUEST" message, but opposite is normal.
The path of data search: MSC goes to "LAI and GCI Table"
according to the CGI of the target cell in "HO-REQUIRED"message, and sends HO request to the correct BSC base on
the description of the DPC of the cell given in the table.

The HO-REQUEST message, which should have been sent
to BSC2, is sent to BSC1. It is DPC error. After correction,
the problem is solved.

Handover Cases 6
Conclusion:
For the data of inter-BSC handover, besides checking whether
CGI at MSC side is consistent with that of opposite and BSC,
check whether the DPC is correct. MSC look up target DPC
based on the CGI of the target cell. When the DPC is incorrect,
"HO-REQUEST" will be sent to wrong BSC.

Fault Description:
A dual band network is a mixed networking of Huawei BSC (M1800)
and vender N BSC (M900), attached to MSC of vender S. After the
cutover, the successful rate of Huawei incoming BSC handover is
always 8892, while outgoing BSC and intra-BSC handovers
are normal (above 92). Furthermore, the cells with low successful
rate of incoming BSC handover are randomly distributed.

Analysis:
Since the handover success rate is not very low and the low ratio
is not in some few cells, data problem is excluded. Perhaps it is
due to some interference at the radio interface coverage hole. So,
trace the signaling.

Handover Cases 7
Solution:
Perform forced handover with a test mobile between
several cells where handover success rate is low. The
forced handovers are all successful. Data problem is
excluded.
The interference band of cells is ideal, call drop and
congestion rate are normal. It is unlikely that the coverage
and interference at the radio interface causes the problem.
Trace A interface signaling and compare the failure
signaling with success signaling:

Handover Cases 7
Solution:
The comparison result is that Huawei BTS has not detected
any MS access information (No HO DETECT signaling
occurs). It shows that there is problem when the MS is
accessing M1800 cells.
Reconfirm that there is no problem with the handover data,
otherwise the handover success rate will be very low.
Re-trace large number of handover signaling to find that all
failures are attributed to the same cause. In addition, the
problem is the same: there are several handover requests
in a call duration but all requests fail.

Handover Cases 7
Solution:
Analyze other similarities of the failed message, to find that
the first 6 digits of IMEI numbers of these MS are all
449684. It shows that the handover problem is related to
the MS.
Find the MS owners with the IMSI numbers and find that all
MS with handover problem are F MS. Not long ago it was
proved that this MS has poor insulation performance
between M900 and M1800, so it can not access M1800
network. Now the cause is found.

Handover Cases 7
Conclusion:MS problem will also causes handover failure.
In this case the handover success rate is not very low, therefore
coordination problem is unlikely.
Trace the signaling to find the cause of the handover failure: BTS has not
received handover access message from MS.
Find the similarity of these MS through large amount of signaling tracing:
IMEI numbers are the same. Then it is found that the problem is on F MS.
The coverage of M900 is very good, F MS is always under M900 in idlestatus. Therefore in a call, TCH assignment seldom fail, which will not
result in high congestion rate. But in handover, problem is very likely to
happen.
