Network Feature Adjustment
After network feature adjustment, 16 bits value is calculated for
every candidate cells.
The smaller the value, the higher the handover priority and
ranking in the candidate cell list, and it is possible to be the
target cell.

The 1
st

rd
bits
The bit value indicates the priority of downlink receiving level
according to the cell signal level and the penalty process taking
place beforehand.
The values come from max. 6 candidate cells and 1 serving cell
according to the level ranges from 000~110. The value for the
cell with the strongest signal level is 000, for the cell with
second strongest signal level is 001 and so on.
Actually that is the core of K rule.

Huawei cell layers can be divided into 4 layers and each layer can
be further divided into 16 different priorities.
So there are 64 different priorities in Huawei hierarchical cell
structure.

Two single band cells which are configured as bi-directional
neighbor cell relationship can be configured as enhanced dual
band cell to each other.
Purpose
During the procedure of channel assignment and handover,
the two single band cells can share their resource.
Assign the channel with low load in UL to MS preferentially.
Make MS handover from the high load cell to the low load
cell.

Load HO
As load HO may trigger several HOs, the CPU load
(system flow level) must be considered before the
feature is triggered.
In addition, load HO is executed step by step, that is,
from the edge HO thrsh. raises according to certain step
and period.
The process will be stopped when the Load HO Zone is
reached the threshold.

3. What cell will be chosen by MS for handover and whats the handover
type?
Its clear that F cell will be chosen for target. And it will be PBGT
handover, because only PBGT conditions are met:
The layer and level of the object cell are the same as those of the service cell.
Satisfy Path loss (s) Path loss (n) >PBGT HO Threshold or RxLev (serving)
RxLev (candidate)>PBGT HO Thrsh.
In our case PBGT HO Thrsh=68=4 dB and cell layer serving and neigboor cells
are the same.
