Handovers Overview Report Design

This document provides the design details of the standard Handovers Overview report that is applicable for the UMTS VN NA 2.0.0 Common Pack. This document also includes the key performance indicators (KPIs) for the report.

Handovers overview
Soft Handover: Soft handover is helpful to guarantee service QoS when UE is at the edge of cell coverage. It can be used to evaluate network performance, such as measurement control, handover decision and handover execution performance etc. Ref: 3GPP TS 32.410 Release 10 (Appendix A.4) Hard Handover: If outgoing intra-system hard handover fails, a call may drop that the user can perceive. This is helpful for network plan and optimization. It can be used to evaluate network performance, such as measurement control, handover decision and handover execution performance, etc. Ref: 3GPP TS 32.410 Release 10 (Appendix A.5)

Report package contents

This report package is to provide high level overview of handover performance. You can filter the data by Network, Region or Month from the report prompt page.
