ABSTRACT:
In a cellular communication system (40) a handoff candidate list is generated for a source sector (51) by eliminating (12) from a list of potential handoff candidates (52-56) any sectors having an interference parameter exceeding a threshold value. The list is further reduced by determining (21) a handoff radius (60) and eliminating any candidate sectors (52-56) that fall outside the handoff radius (60). Candidate sectors (52-56) that do not have overlapping coverage areas are also eliminated (23). In addition, candidate sectors (52-56) having a relative angle of sight to the source sector (51) that exceeds a maximum angle are also eliminated (24). Finally, the list is reduced (15) to a preset number of candidates dependent upon the interference parameter.
