LTE UE event Measurement Reporting-

Event A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,B1,B2
In LTE system, RRC connection reconfiguration message is used to configure
UE measurement reporting. It replaces the measurement control message
used in the UMTS system. The stands defines 5 intra-system and 2 inter-
system measurement reporting events as described below.

LTE Events A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 are based upon either RSRP or RSRQ
messages. Pls. refer LTE RSRP vs RSRQ for more details. Inter-system LTE
events B1 and B2 are based upon CPICH RSCP or CPICH Ec/Io for UMTS
system, RSSI for GSM and pilot strength for CDMA2000.
The criteria for triggering and subsequently cancelling each event are
evaluated after layer-3 filtering has been applied. The criteria for each event
must be satisfied during at least the time to trigger. The time to trigger can be
configured independently fpr each reporting event. The values are as follows:
{0,40,64,80,100,128,160,256,320,480,512,640,1024,1280}
Layer-3 filtering is applied prior to evaluate whether or not any measurement
reporting events have been triggered.

Fn = (1-a) * Fn-1 + (a * MEASn)

Fn = updated filtered measurement result


Fn-1 = previous filtered measurement result
a = (1/2)k/4 , where k is appropriate filter coefficient
MEASn = latest measurement result received from PHYSICAL layer

Filter coefficient can be configured independently for LTE RSRP, LTE RSRQ,
UMTS CPICH RSCP, UMTS CPICH Ec/Io and GSM RSSI.
LTE Event A1
The LTE Event A1 is triggered when the serving cell becomes better than a
threshold. The event is triggered when the following condition is true:

MEAsserv - Hyst > Threshold

Triggering of the event is subsequently cancelled when the following condition


is true:

MEAsserv + Hyst < Threshold

The hysteresis can be configured with a value between 0 and 30 dB.


Event A2
The LTE Event A2 is triggered when the serving cell becomes worse than a
threshold. The event is triggered when the following condition is true:

MEAsserv + Hyst < Threshold

Triggering of the event is subsequently cancelled when the following condition


is true.

MEAsserv - Hyst > Threshold

The hysteresis can be configured with a value between 0 and 30 dB.


Event A3
The LTE Event A3 is triggered when a neighbouring cell becomes better than
the serving cell by an offset. The offset can be either positive or negative. The
event is triggered when the following condition is true:

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Oneigh,cell - Hyst > MEASserv + Oserv,freq + Oserv,cell + Offset


MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Oneigh,cell + Hyst < MEASserv + Oserv,freq + Oserv,cell + Offset
Event A4
The LTE Event A4 is triggered when a neighbouring cell becomes better than
a threshold.

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Oneigh,cell - Hyst > Threshold

Triggering of the event is subsequently cancelled when the following condition


is true:

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Oneigh,cell + Hyst <Threshold


Event A5
LTE Event A5 is triggered when the serving cell becomes worse than
threshold-1 while a neighbouring cell becomes better than threshold-2. The
event is triggered when both of the following consitions are true:

MEASserv + Hyst < Threshold-1

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Oneigh,cell - Hyst >Threshold-2

Triggering of the event is subsequently cancelled when either of the following


conditions are true:

MEASserv - Hyst > Threshold-1

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Oneigh,cell + Hyst <Threshold-2

LTE Event B1
The LTE Event B1 is triggered when a neighbouring inter-system cell
becomes better than a threshold. The event is triggered when the following
condition is true:

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq - Hyst > Threshold

Triggering of the event is subsequently cancelled when the following condition


is true:

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Hyst < Threshold


Event B2
The LTE Event B2 is triggered when the serving cell becomes worse than
threshold-1 while a neighbouring inter-system cell becomes better than
threshold-2. The event is triggered when both of the following conditions are
true:

MEASserv + Hyst < Threshold-1

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq - Hyst > Threshold-2

Triggering of the event is subsequently cancelled when either of the following


conditions are true:

MEASserv - Hyst > Threshold-1

MEASneigh + Oneigh,freq + Hyst < Threshold-2
