Issue: When 99 user in BMA boundary move outside BMA area, it can only hand over to GSM 99, due to BMA outside F1/00 can not support the handover.

1)When UE access the side to outside can not do soft handover , Accessibility Ratio decrease ue o r se o +
Call Drop Rate maybe worse
1)More Inter-RAT handover may cause CDR worse 2)Due to RTWP rise of F1/99+00
Inter-RAT handover time increase
If the GSM capacity is not enough ,more use rs handover to GSM may cause GSM congestion will cause handover success ratio decrease

To simply the model , Couple Loss is defined as the loss between the Base TX and UE, including the antenna gain and path loss
00 B Couple Loss2
Couple Loss1 99 GSM 99
Analysis : 2D trigger at -100dBm,CPICH is 33dBm ,the couple loss is 133dB From the link budget, in some scenarios, 99 user will cause the RTWP rise of outside F1/00 B cell. This is relevant with service and UE position. Solution: 99 user should be able to handover to GSM asap.00 user should keep intra-frequency handover. HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

1A threshold is 3dB Assume RTWP of outside F1/00 is -98dBm,before 1A event triggered, the interference to F1/99+00 is calculated above. This kind of interference is temporary for after 1A triggered, F1/99+00 can control the UE TX power.

Solution: Switch on the handover based on UE TX power to make F1/99 user more early handover to GSM Impact: If the UE Tx power limited trigger threshold set too high, the effect is not obvious. If the UE Tx power limited trigger threshold set too lower,F1/00 user may trigger handover to GSM HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR

The rule of setting UE Tx Power limited trigger threshold.

When 00 user leave Cell A to Cell B, we choose the maximal 00 UE Tx power as the threshold.

So 00 user will soft handover to Cell B. Otherwise 99 user will trigger handover to 2G.

Solution: When 99 user move to F1/00 B cell, firstly active set is added, then trigger Inter-RAT handover process. Due to this mechanism, the UE TX Power of 99 user can be controlled by F1/00 B cell. So the Uplink interference can be eliminated some. Impact: Some Product code should be modified. Some resource of F1/00 B cell is used.

00 User
If 99 User is too many, the load of If 99 User is too many,00 user can not F1/99+00 is heavier. The EcIo of F1/00+99 offload to F2/00 this may cause KPI is worse, The 00 user can reselect to F2/00 worse. to offload the traffic.
Free camping strategy is good for load balancing. Preferred camping may cause traffic unbalanced which cause KPI degradation.
