Abstract Since nation-wide coverage cant immediately be achieved with the recent roll-out of UMTS networks in many countries, network performance and service continuity is highly based on co-using the existing GSM infrastructure. Therefore, seamless inter-working between the two networks is substantial for a successful launch of UMTS services. This article provides a detailed introduction into the mechanisms of cross network measurements and handovers. Based on life network experiences, a novel parameterization method for UMTS compressed mode operation and inter-system handovers is proposed and evaluated by means of dynamic event-driven simulation.
