1.18Inter-Frequency Hard Handoff (CDMA to CDMA)

4.18.1 Mobile Station Test

4.18.1.1 Definition

This test verifies that the mobile station can perform an Inter-Frequency handoff to

a CDMA channel. In an Inter-Frequency Hard Handoff test (also known as the Mobile

Assisted Hard Handoff test), when the mobile station is directed by the base station

to perform a search on a Candidate Frequency, the mobile station will search for a

pilot in the Candidate Frequency Neighbor Set. The mobile station will report back

to the base station any pilot detected in the Candidate Frequency Neighbor Set with

a pilot Ec/Io above the value defined by CF_T_ADD. The base station should then

direct the mobile station to the Candidate Frequency and complete the hardhandoff..

4.18.1.4 Method of Measurement

a. Set up test as shown inAnnex A figure 2.

1. The Forward Channel from base station 1 has a CDMA frequency assignment F1(any valid value), an arbitrary pilot PN offset index P1 and is called Channel 1.

2. The Forward Channel from base station 2 has a CDMA frequency assignment F2(any valid value other than f1 in the same band class), an arbitrary pilot PN offsetindex P2 and is called Channel 2.

b. Set the test parameters as specified in Table 4.18.1.4-1.

c. Set up a mobile station originated call on Channel 1. If RC11/RC12 is assigned on the

forward fundamental channel, instruct the base station to send a Radio Configuration

Parameters Message or a General Extension Message carrying a Radio Configuration

Parameters Record setting the configuration parameters for the RC11/RC12 and RC8 to non-

default values.

d. Send from base station 1 a Candidate Frequency Search Request Message to the mobile

station to set an explicit action time with the following parameters:

Parameters Value (Decimal)

USE_TIME 1 (use action time)

SEARCH_TYPE 1 (single search)SEARCH_MODE 0 (CDMA)

CDMA_FREQ F2

SF_TOTAL_EC_THRESH 31 (disabled)

SF_TOTAL_EC_IO_THRESH 31 (disabled)

CF_SRCH_WIN_N 8 (60 chips)

CF_T_ADD 28 (-14 dB)

NUM_PILOTS 1 (1 pilot)

CF_NGHBR_SRCH_MODE 0 (no search priorities or search

windows specified)

NGHBR_PN P2

e. Verify that the mobile station responds with a Candidate Frequency Search Report Message.

f. Instruct base station 1 to send a General Handoff Direction Message to initiate handoff from

base station 1 to base station 2.

g. Verify user data in both directions. If RC11/RC12 is assigned on the forward fundamental

channel, verify that the mobile station initialization the configuration parameters for the

RC11/RC12 and RC 8 to the default values.

h. End the call.

i. Repeat steps c through h, but with following changes: In steps where base station isinstructed to send a General Handoff Direction Message, instruct the base station to send a

Universal Handoff Direction Message.

j. Repeat steps b through h, but with following changes: In steps where base station is

instructed to send a General Handoff Direction Message, instruct the base station to send an

Extended Handoff Direction Message.


4/4

k. Repeat steps c through j using all radio configurations and band classes supported by the

mobile station.

4.18.1.5 Minimum Standard

The mobile station and the base station shall successfully execute the handoff transitions. The mobile

station shall comply with the requirement in step g.
