<li> LteHelper has been updated with some new APIs:
|

<ul>
|

<li>new overloaded Attach methods to enable UE to automatically determine
|

the eNodeB to attach to (using initial cell selection);</li>
|

<li>new methods related to handover algorithm: SetHandoverAlgorithmType
|

and SetHandoverAlgorithmAttribute;</li>
|

<li>a new attribute AnrEnabled to activate/deactivate Automatic Neighbour

Relation (ANR) function; and</li>

<li>a new method SetUeDeviceAttribute for configuring LteUeNetDevice.</li>

<li> The GSoC 2013 project in the LTE module has brought some additional APIs:

<li>a new abstract class LteHandoverAlgorithm, which every future

implementation of automatic handover trigger should inherit from;</li>
|

<li>new classes LteHandoverAlgorithm and LteAnr as sub-modules of
|

LteEnbNetDevice class; both interfacing with the LteEnbRrc sub-module
|

through Handover Management SAP and ANR SAP;</li>
|

<li>new attributes in LteEnbNetDevice and LteUeNetDevice classes related
|

to Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) functionality in initial cell
|
||||
selection;</li>
|
||||
<li>new attributes in LteEnbRrc for configuring UE measurements' filtering
|
||||
coefficient (i.e., quantity configuration);</li>
|
||||
<li>a new public method AddUeMeasReportConfig in LteEnbRrc for setting up
|
||||
custom UE measurements' reporting configuration; measurement reports
|
||||
can then be captured from the RecvMeasurementReport trace source;
|

and</li>
|

<li>new trace sources in LteUeRrc to capture more events, such as System

access, and handover.</li>

EpcHelper is just the base class defining the API, and the

|

<li> The automatic handover trigger and ANR functions in LTE module have been

moved from LteEnbRrc class to separate classes. As a result, the related
|
||||
attributes, e.g., ServingCellHandoverThreshold, NeighbourCellHandoverOffset,
|

EventA2Threshold, and EventA4Threshold have been removed from LteEnbRrc
|

class. The equivalent attributes are now in A2A4RsrqHandoverAlgorithm and

LteAnr classes.</li>
|

<li> Master Information Block (MIB) and System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1)

- Extension to UE measurements and improved handover algorithm models in LTE
|
||||
module, as the outcome of GSoC 2013 project. The project also includes several
|
||||
sub-features, such as:
|
||||
- implementation of System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1);
|
||||
- a new option for automatic UE attachment using Idle mode cell selection
|
||||
procedure;
|
||||
- improved configurability of UE measurements; and
|
||||
- two options of handover algorithms for enabling automatic handover trigger
|
||||
in LTE simulation: A2-A4-RSRQ and strongest cell (A3-RSRP).
