edge of iCell2’s coverage, check UE2’s bler and SNR.

3. iCell1 and iCell2 turn on ICIC function,and set measurement and control

parameter of A2 event.

4. Repeat step1 and step 2.

Expected Results

1. The bler and SNR value with ICIC function are better than the value without ICIC

function.

Test Condition

1. iCell under test works correctly

2. iCell synchronize with Macro Cell and configure neighboring Cell relation,

handover threshold and so on parameters with Macro Cell

3. iCell connect to Macro Cell with X2 interface and configure X2 related

parameters.

Test Procedure

1. UE registers in Cell A covered by iCell and makes ftp service.

2. UE moves from the Cell A to neighboring Macro Cell B until handover occurs.

3. Handover finishes and check UE ftp service status

4. UE returns from Macro Cell B to Cell A until handover occurs.

5. Handover finishes and check UE ftp service status

Expected Result:

1. The two times handover succeed and data service works correctly during

handover.

2. The handover process viewed by UE monitor software is correct and the

handover is triggered based on the configured threshold.

3. X2-AP related handover signaling caught from network works correctly.
