ABSTRACT:
In a mobile communications system, a mobile station communicates with a first base station operating at a first antenna specific weight factor. While the mobile station is both in a coverage area of the first base station and a coverage area of a second base station, the mobile station transmits a control signal to the second base station which causes the second base station to operate at a second antenna specific weight factor which is the same as the first antenna specific weight factor. The mobile station then communicates with the second base station, operating at the second antenna specific weight factor, to complete a handoff operation.
