    1) Inter-system handover (IRAT HO) allows integration of GSM and WCDMA networks to provide seamless service as users move between coverage areas. 2) The IRAT HO process involves connection monitoring, compressed mode events for neighbor measurements, IRAT events to trigger the handover, and requesting the actual handover to GSM. 3) Failures can occur in the preparation, execution, or confirmation phases of IRAT HO and common causes include issues with target cell configuration, physical channel failures, or not receiving confirmations.

    IRAT HO

    Definition , Why use Irat ?

    Definition:
    Inter-system handover is a Ho between GSM and WCDMA
    networks and vice versa.

    Why:
    Integrate both systems as one network and guarantee that the
    services will not be disrupted when a customer moves in the coverage
    area. The used GSM and WCDMA radio access layers need to
    integrate and operate as one seamless cellular network.

    Failures in the Preparation Phase
    Once the RNC determines that a handover to 2G is necessary, it contacts
    the 2G Network via the 3G MSC and starts a timer. If the 3G MSC comes
    back with a negative response or if the timer expires before the 3G MSC
    comes back with a response, then the handover is considered unsuccessful

    Failures in the Execution Phase


    If after receiving the handover command from the RNC the UE cannot
    make it on the 2G network, it will try come back to the 3G network and will
    advise the RNC that the handover was unsuccessful

    Failures in the Confirmation Phase


    If the RNC does not receive confirmation from the 2G network that the
    handover was successful and it does not hear back from the UE, the
    handover is considered unsuccessful (IRAT drop)

    Failures in the Preparation Phase
     Majority of Problems due to “Relocation Failure in Target CN/RNC or
    Target System”.
     Typically indicates incorrect data in external GSM table (i.e. 3G MSC
    sends a cell ID that the 2G MSC does not know about).
     For this failure, an audit of the UTRAN target GSM cell information is
    recommended.

    Failures in the Execution Phase


     Majority of the problems may be associated “Physical Channel Failures”
    and these failures could be related to:
    • Co-BCCH/BSIC ambiguity
    • Missing GSM neighbor
    • GSM NL too long (NL selection truncates important GSM neighbors)
    • GSM target cell quality degradation (degrades significantly so that
    IRAT handover was not able to complete)
