Abstract
Known HO performance indicators comprise Retainability Rate and HO Successful Rate. The Retainability Rate is defined as the ratio between abnormal connection releases and the total number of releases, and HO Successful Rate is defined as the ratio of successful HOs and the total number of HO attempts. The application proposes two new HO performance indicators LowCqiRateWhenHo () and LowUISinrRateWhenHo (). These two HO performance indicators are based on radio link conditions before a HO for the DL and UL channels respectively. The indicator LowCqiRateWhenHo is defined as the ratio of low, i.e. below a threshold (). CQI measurement samples of users () just before a HO and is as a measure of DL connection quality during HO. The indicator LowUISinrRateWhen Ho is defined as the ratio of low, i.e. below a threshold (). SINR measurement samples () in UL just before a HO and is as a measure of UL connection quality during HO. The inter-HO performance indicators disclosed herein have been successfully used to optimize iRAT HO parameters in a live network. The proposed indicators may be used as an input of Self-Optimizing Network Optimization Manager SON OM algorithms for tuning iRAT HO parameters and intra-HO parameters.
