ABSTRACT:
Cellular handoff is improved by tailing or adapting the measurement time based on the characteristics of the received signal intensity or power. More particularly, base stations typically measure mobile signal power in order to determine the necessity for handoff and the identity of a new cell. The measurement time must be of a duration which is sufficient to characterize the environment of the mobile. In accordance with the invention, the duration of the measurement time is determined from the received signal itself. Once the duration of the measurement time is determined, that data may be passed to a target cell along with other handoff data.
