Evaluation and optimization handover parameter based X2 in LTE network

This research evaluates the performance parameter of handover based X2 on existing network of one network provider in Cirebon area and optimizes handover parameters using RSRP algorithm and RSRQ algorithm. Evaluation and optimization of handover parameters were performed on three eNodeBs with a value of transmit power is 43 dBm, number of cells per eNodeB is three cells, bandwisth 5 MHz, distance between eNodeB is 2 KM and number of ue is 46 ue per 20 seconds. Based on the analysis results obtained some findings are: RSRP algorithm is more optimum than RSRQ algorithm because RSRP algorithm resulted optimize ratio is bigger than RSRQ algorithm, The most optimum handover parameters for the RSRP algorithm is TTT 480 ms and Hysteresis 12 dB, while the most optimum handover parameters for the RSRQ algorithm is NeighbourCellOffset 10 dB and ServingCellThreshold 30 dBm.
