ABSTRACT:
In a wireless communication system, which includes a first base site (101) having an associated controller (130) and a second base site (108), a mobile station (103) responsive to the first and second base site, a method for determining a need to hard handoff a mobile communication signal (107) associated with the mobile station from the first base site to the second base site is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of hard handoff candidate parameters associated with the mobile communication signal, and then measuring a plurality of scan result parameters associated with the mobile communication signal by a handoff scan receiver (304). The method further includes forwarding the plurality of scan result parameters to the controller, and then determining whether or not a hard handoff of the mobile communication signal is required based on the scan result parameters.
