Handoff Handoff To keep the conversation going, the Handoff procedure should be completed while the MS (the bus) is in the overlap region. Handoff issues Handoff detection strategies Mobile-Controlled handoff (MCHO) Network-Controlled handoff (NCHO) Mobile-Assisted handoff (MAHO) Mobile-Controlled Handoff (MCHO) Network-Controlled Handoff (NCHO) Mobile-Assisted Handoff (MAHO) Handoff types with reference to the network Handoff types with reference to the network Handoff types with reference to link transfer Handoff types with reference to link transfer Handoff types with reference to link transfer Handoff types with reference to link transfer Handoff types with reference to link transfer Handoff types with reference to link transfer Handoff types with reference to link transfer * A process, which allows users to remain in touch, even while breaking the connection with one BS and establishing connection with another BS. Handoff detection Channel assignment Radio link transfer In this strategy, the MS continuously monitors the radio signal strength and quality of the surrounding BSs. When predefined criteria are met, then the MS checks for the best candidate BS for an available traffic channel and requests the handoff to occur. MACHO is used in DECT and PACS. In this strategy, the surrounding BSs, the MSC or both monitor the radio signal. When the signal’s strength and quality deteriorate below a predefined threshold, the network arranges for a handoff to another channel. NCHO is used in CT-2 Plus and AMPS. It is a variant of NCHO strategy. In this strategy, the network directs the MS to measure the signal from the surrounding BSs and to report those measurements back to the network. The network then uses these measurements to determine where a handoff is required and to which channel. MACHO is used in GSM and IS-95 CDMA. Intra-system handoff or Inter-BS handoff The new and the old BSs are connected to the same MSC. Intersystem handoff or Inter-MSC handoff The
