Method of intra-cell and inter-cell handover in a mobile communications system
TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a handover method for a call associated with a mobile station in one cell but moving towards another cell, where the mobile station is allocated a different channel in the one cell and makes a second attempt.Abstract:
A method of performing handover of a call associated with a mobile station in one cell but moving towards another cell includes making a first attempt, using for example a MUX1 SNIFF procedure, on the channel allocated to the mobile station for that call. If that attempt fails, the mobile station is allocated a different channel in the one cell and makes a second attempt. This different channel allocation (intracell handover) is performed even if there are no better signal characteristics achieved as a result. This procedure makes it more likely to be possible to achieve handover when a second mobile station associated with an adjacent cell and operating on the same channel as the first mobile station is also within range of the base station of the other cell.read more
