i might be wrong, but i think the bsic has to be decoded at least every 30s for each neighbor.
Assumptions :
If there is serving cell with adjacencies including target 1 (bcch=10, bsic=00) and target 2(bcch=10, bsic=02)
If the MS measures target 1 but decodes bsic=00 as bsic=02
If the target 1 is the best candidate for the next HO
Then in this case, the BSC will actually command a HO towards target 2.
IT’s a lot of “if”, but it is possible. Now, how come a MS would misdecode a BSIC ? I think this can occur in case of very bad interference on target 1’s BCCH.
