Abstract

See full text

A digital radiotelephone system requiring a transfer of communication from a source base-site (200) in a source cell (100) to a selected one target base-site in a target cell. A source base-site (200) in the source cell (100) provides a first and a second threshold and measures the received signal strength of a mobile unit (225) communicating to the source base-site (200). When the measured signal strength at the source base-site (200) falls below the first threshold, the source base-site (200) initiates a handoff to target base-sites located by the mobile unit (225). The target base-sites measure the received signal strength of the mobile unit (225) and a target base-site is selected. The source base-site (200) is notified of the selected target base-site and hands off communication of the mobile unit (225) to the selected target base-site when the previously measured signal strength at the source base-site (200) falls below the second threshold.
