(1) Power imbalance scenario: when Toff1 is less than 1/4T 1 and reverse Toff2 is more than 3/4T 2, the power of the PCI2 cell base station is increased by 3dB (see figure 2); similarly, when Toff1 is more than 3/4T 1, and Toff2 is less than 1/4T 2, the power of the PCI2 cell base station is reduced by 3dB;
(2) The unidirectional switching is too late: when 1/4 t1 < Toff1 < 3/4 t1 and Toff2 < 1/4 t2, increase PCI2 Cell CIO (Cell Individual Offset) by 3dB (see fig. 3); similarly, when Toff1 is less than 1/ 4T 1 and 1/4T 2 is less than Toff2 and less than 3/4T 2, the CIO 3dB of the PCI1 cell is increased;

(5) Bidirectional handover is too early: when Toff1 > 3/4 t1 and Toff2 > 3/4 t2, it is determined that the bidirectional handover is too early, and PC11 and PCI2 cell CIO 3dB are reduced.
Referring to fig. 5, a specific flowchart of the operation and maintenance center OMC for analyzing MR data is specifically shown:
step 1, if Toff1 is larger than 3/4T 1, the value of Toff2 is continuously analyzed, otherwise, step 4 is executed, if Toff2 is larger than 3/4T 2, the CIO 3dB of the PCI1 and PCI2 cells is reduced, the step 9 is skipped to store the optimized adjustment parameters (namely the CIO 3dB of the PCI1 and PCI2 cells is reduced), otherwise, step 2 is executed;
step 2, if Toff2 is less than 1/4T 2, reducing the power of the PCI2 cell by 3dB, skipping to step 9 to store parameters, otherwise, executing step 3;
