What are 5G NR Measurement Events?

In 5G NR, Measurement Events are specific triggers defined by 3GPP in TS 38.331 that a User Equipment (UE) uses to report its radio environment back to the network (gNB). When the UE is in RRC_CONNECTED state, the network configures it with reporting criteria—rules that dictate when the UE should send a Measurement Report.

These events are fundamental to Mobility Management. They allow the network to decide when to perform handovers, activate secondary cells (S-Cells), or switch between different Radio Access Technologies (RATs). Each event uses parameters like Threshold, Offset, Hysteresis, and Time-to-Trigger (TTT) to ensure reporting is accurate and avoid "ping-pong" effects.

5G NR Measurement Events Reference Table

Event TypeDetails & ConditionTechnical Guide
Event A1
Serving becomes better than absolute threshold

Used to stop frequency measurements or deactivate measurement gaps.

Analysis
Event A2
Serving becomes worse than absolute threshold

Used to trigger inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurements when coverage is weak.

Analysis
Event A3
Neighbor becomes offset better than serving

Primary event for Intra-frequency handover. Standard trigger for mobility.

Analysis
Event A4
Neighbor becomes better than absolute threshold

Target for handovers to a cell on another frequency or SCell addition.

Coming Soon
Event A5
Serving < Th1 & Neighbor > Th2

Targeted for inter-frequency HO by ensuring serving is weak and target is strong.

Analysis
Event A6
Neighbor becomes offset better than SCell

Used in CA for managing secondary cells relative to neighbor cells.

Coming Soon
Event B1
Inter-RAT neighbor becomes better than absolute threshold

Triggers inter-RAT handovers (e.g., NR to LTE) based on absolute coverage.

Analysis
Event B2
Serving < Th1 & Inter-RAT Neighbor > Th2

Inter-RAT equivalent of A5. Ensuring serving weak while target RAT is strong.
