Step 7: Perform an Intra-Cell Handover

Example 1. Command Syntax:

CALL:TCHannel[:ARFCn][:SELected]:SEQ <numeric value>

CALL:TCHannel[:ARFCn]:<PGSM|EGSM|DCS|PCS>:SEQ <numeric value>

Example 2. Programming Example:

The following example illustrates how to use these commands to perform an intra-cell handover.

! existing conditions: a mobile station is connected to the test

! set, operating mode is set to active cell and a call is in the

! connected state.

! Step 1: Change the traffic channel number

OUTPUT Test_set;"CALL:TCH:SEQ 65"!Starts process of handing over MS

! Step #2: Check that the call is still in the connected state. It

! is possible that the MS did not successfully connect on the

! new channel.

OUTPUT Test_set;"CALL:STAT:STAT?"

ENTER Test_set;Call_status$

IF Call_status$ <> "CONN" THEN

! <put error handler here>

END IF

! Call is connected so proceed with control program
