Abstract

See full text

To expedite handoff control while a mobile unit moves between first and neighboring second cells, A and B frequencies are assigned for traffic communication to a first base station and only B frequency is assigned for traffic communication to a second base station, and both of the base stations are connected to a control station, where the first base station is assigned to the first cell and the second base station is assigned to the second cell. The mobile unit has been assigned A frequency in the first base station, and the second base station is accompanied by a pilot transmitting device for transmitting only a pilot signal on the A frequency. As soon as it is informed of deterioration in a field intensity of the frequency at the mobile unit together with pilot information specific to the pilot signal from the first base station, the control station makes a determination that the mobile unit is approaching the second base station, and deals with a handoff from the A frequency to the B frequency.
