    inter*%reuenc" hard handover and inter*s"stem hard handover. + t"ical handover rocess is)

    measurement control →  measurement reort →  handover decision →  handover e4ecution →

    ne( measurement control. ased on the measurement value, handover control method and

    handover t"e selection reuired %or the handover decision, the handover algorithm determines

    ho( the 7 carr" out handover measurements and reort the measurement result, and then

    maes handover decision and guides the handover e4ecution according to the reorted

    measurement result. Handover algorithms  largel" resent themselves  in the con%iguration o%

    measurement control arameters.

    In Chater 2, this document discusses the measurement control, reorting rules and related

    handover decision algorithms involved in various t"es o% handover. In Chater 3, $ased on the

    no(ledge o% the handover algorithms, this document rovides detailed descritions o% the

    seci%ic arameter setting methods value assignment recommendations and ranges o% e%%ect o%

    the related algorithms o% various t"es o% handover, so as to rovide a clear and ractical

    guidance %or arameter ad-ustments in net(or otimiation.
