Dimitri, we have a working OpenBSC/nanoBTS installation at the hackerspace. If you find out how to issue a handover command in OpenBSC, you could try by yourself.
You cannot issue a handover command manually in OpenBSC. The way how we test handover is to use two BTSs connected to one OsmoNITB, and use rotary/adjustable attenuators in the Tx path to make one BTS signal weaker than the other BTS, at which point the handover algorithm will kick in and perform the hand-over.
If this is done inside of the OpenBSC, it should be easy to hack a VTY command to force handover. It may be a useful command as well, if you want to do load balancing of your network. Am I missing something?
The DMEAS and the DHO debug logging might be useful to monitor what is happening while you're doing that.
Thanks.
