Handoff Decisions<br />

• Usually based on received signal strengths (RSS)<br />

from Current BS and neighboring BSs.<br />

– Handoff occurs when the signal from the serving BS<br />

is weak while the signal from a neighboring BS is<br />

strong.<br />

– The received signal strength is averaged over time<br />

using an averaging window to remove momentary<br />

fading due to geographical and environmental factors<br />

• Ping Pong Effect<br />

– Signal strength fluctuates randomly<br />

– Several handoffs occur back and forth between two<br />

BSs.<br />
