What is the typical event sequence of IRAT Handover from 3G to 2G

Simple IRAT Handover Flow

Event 2d –entering into compressed mode –measurement of 2G candidates – Event 3a –Verification of 2G resources

What are the typical KPIs you use to measure a network and what criteria?

  • Access failure rate (≤ 2%).
  • Call setup time (CS: over 95% of the time < 6-second for mobile-to
  • PSTN, 9-second for mobile-mobile.  PS: over 95% of the time < 5 second).
  • Dropped call rate (≤ 2%).
  • BLER: over 95% of the blocks ≤ 2%.
  • Average DL/UL throughput for PSD: 210kbps for loaded, 240kbps for unloaded.
