In telecommunications, the term handover refers to the process of transferring an ongoing call or data session from one channel connected to the core network to another, which can be categorized according to RATs.

During daily maintenance of network, it is essential in network operations to follow the success rate of various handover. Low handover success rate will impact user experience, therefore it is important to define measurements to follow handover success rate.

By calculating these parameters, we can obtain the success rate of handovers for UEs, both eNBs and inter-RAT related. All these parameters are direct key indicators of service connectivity and also useful for operators to evaluate handover procedures and analyze failure reasons. To go for further analysis of handover failures, it is also essential to know what causes the handovers. By analysing these indicators, the operator can inspect the network as well as enhance user experience.
