X2 HANDOVER

X2 HANDOVER

Firstly, we know about the TEID (Tunnel Endpoint ID). That is used in GTP Protocol .
 This protocol is used in between SGW and PGW .
 It means TX Sends request to RX that is session request message in this request
message.
 TEIDTx by using this id RX TEIDRx will make a tunnel towards TX.
Now they both share them Packets together
Types Of handovers
 X2 Handover
 S1 Handover
 Both handovers having three steps
 HO preparation.
 HO execution.
 HO Completion.
HO Preparation(X2ho)
Suppose if Ue is moving towards Target EnB .Because there will be difference in signal
strength their source Enb and Target Enb.
Now source enb sends RRC CONN. RECONFIG in this id they have Meas id. Mean id having
(Mean object id) EARFCN and (Report config id) EVENTS.
Ue sends measurement report to source Enb and this measurements Report Ue having
signal strength of Source enode b and Target enode b
 Source EnB is sending handover request in which they are having Target Enb cell id and
Erab. Target EnB receives S1 SGW TEID.
 (Qci, Arp, S1 SGW teid) to SGW.
 UL S1 bearer is establish and creates DRB ID and C-RNTI ID and X2teid. These two
things required to UE to Target Enb to acquire.
 Target Enb sends Ho request ACK TO Source EnB( DRB ID and C-RNTI ID and X2teid)
 Source EnB X2-AP Direct Tunnel towards Target EnB
 HO Execution(X2ho)
 HO Cmd (RRC connection Reconfiguration ) Source Enb sends SN status Transfer this SN STATUS having DL count
And Ul count. SGW Sends DL packets to the source EnB but source EnB Doesn’t have radio interface. and then
sends to the target EnB. It’s also not going for radio Interface .it will start buffering towards these packets .
 In CFRA target Ue gets the preamble and here Ue already having DRB AND CRNTI ID
 HO Completion
 Its RRC CONNECTION RECONFIGURATION Complete message to Target Enb and Ue forwarded uplink
packets to Target enb it forwarded to SGW and SGW forwarded DOWNLINK to source Enb .. SOURCE
enb to Ue .
 Target EnB Sends Path switch request to MME and MME sends MBR request to the SGW and SGW
sends MBR request to MME.
 EM packet will flow SGW to source EnB To stop receiving downlink packet.
 MME sends Packet switch request to Target Enb
 Target EnB Sends Ue context response message.
 Handover completion
