ABSTRACT:
When an access terminal is handed off, requested-data-rate information based on a data rate control signal from each access terminal, average throughput of each access terminal before handoff, and a handoff request count are obtained from a base transceiver subsystem. A throughput after handoff of each access terminal is estimated from a ratio of the data rate information of each access terminal to the number of connected access terminals, and an estimated throughput ratio representing the degree of change from the average throughput of each access terminal before handoff to the estimated throughput is calculated. If the estimated throughput ratio is lower than or equal to a given value, the corresponding access terminal is not handed off. If the estimated throughput ratio is higher than the given value, the access terminal having the highest estimated throughput among access terminals requesting handoff is handed off.
