Methods and systems for facilitating handoff in a wireless communication network are disclosed. One method entails receiving a sector handoff request from a mobile station, the request including a signaling trend and specifying a sector identifier that identifies a target sector, where multiple available sectors are identified by the sector identifier. The method further entails accessing a history of signaling-trend records, which are indexed per sector, to determine, based on the received signaling trend, which of the multiple available sectors is the intended target sector, and, responsive to the determination of the intended target sector, causing the mobile station to be served by the intended target sector. Other embodiments include a system for implementing the methods and a method in which a mobile station requests handoff to a target sector and provides a signaling trend upon request when it is determined that multiple available sectors have the same sector identifier.
