The system, base-station menu option has two further sub-elements, handover, neighbor and wimax
learning.
• handover. This is where triggers are set for handover operation. By default, there are no
triggers. For handover operation at least two triggers must be set, one for scanning and one
for handover. This information is incorporated into DCD message sent by the base station.
This may be left unconfigured if no handover is desired. For each trigger following needs to
be configured (Figure 70):
o Trigger Index: A user defined unique number between 1-8.
o Average Duration: Trigger averaging duration is the time measured in number of frames
over which the metric measurements are averaged.
o Trigger Type: This defines trigger metric, CINR or RSSI
o Trigger Function: This parameter specifies the function for the trigger type chosen
earlier. Select one from the dropdown menu.
o Trigger Action: This parameter specifies the action, scanning (MOB_SCAN_REQ) or
handover (RSP_MOB_MSHO_REQ), to take when trigger criteria is met. Select from the
dropdown menu.
o Trigger Value: This parameter specifies the value for corresponding to the trigger
type and function selected above.
