Measurement events and triggers
For a handover decision to be made at the serving eNodeB, a set of measurements need
to be carried out and reported to the eNodeB by the UE. The parameters to be measured
are configured via the RRC connection reconfigure message. A set of events and trig-
gers have been defined to provide the real time information but with the signaling over-
head reduced. An event is a typical condition that occurs in the UE end for the meas-
urement parameters e.g. RSRP value decreasing below a certain threshold. These events
are strategically defined such that they are enough for the serving eNodeB to know
about the radio environment at the UE. These events trigger UE to send measurement
reports to the eNodeB. The report itself has to be concise enough but delivering all the
necessary information required for the handover. In addition to event triggered reports,
there are also the periodic reports sent by UE.
The measurement configuration parameters are:
• Measurement objects: The network parameter to be measured for
• Reporting criteria: The events for which UE is triggered for the measurement re-
port. A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 events are used in the intra-LTE measurements
while B1 and B2 events are used for Inter RAT measurements.
o
Event A1 : serving becomes better than absolute threshold
o
Event A2 : serving becomes worse than absolute threshold
o
Event A3 : neighbor becomes amount of offset better than serving
o
Event A4 : neighbor becomes better than absolute threshold
o
Event A5 : Serving becomes worse than absolute threshold 1 and neigh-
bor becomes better than another absolute threshold 2
o
Event B1 : neighbor becomes better than absolute threshold

bor becomes better than another absolute threshold 2
• Measurement identity: The identifier that relates the measurement object with
the reporting configuration.
• Quantity configurations: defines the appropriate filter coefficients for different
measurements.
• Measurement gaps: defines the periodic interval upon which the measurement
should be carried out.
The measurements in RRC_IDLE state, UE utilizes the measurement configuration de-
fined for cell re-selection. During the RRC_CONNECTED state, UE uses the measure-
ment configuration as per the indication from the serving eNodeB. At least two meas-
urement quantities RSRP and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurement
should be supported. [16]
