Type of Handover

 
Figure: Type of Handover (Click to enlarge)

Different modes of soft/softer handover are possible and a map can be written to indicate the areas where each handover mode occurs. Four modes are possible.
  • soft HO: link to several sectors each located at a different site
  • softer HO: links to several sectors at one site
  • softer/soft HO: combination of soft and softer handover links
  • no HO: only one active link per pixel
The soft/softer handover algorithms can be tuned with the active set parameters: Window_Add, Window_Drop, Window_Replace. For the analysis with the scan UE, the mean of Window_Add and Window_Drop is used to generate the handover areas for the maps.
