APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING A HANDOFF IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are an apparatus and a method for performing a handoff in a wireless communication system. The method includes executing a downlink fast power control when a Received Signal Strength (RSS) of a serving Base Station (BS) is less than a threshold; calculating a mean of RSSs subject to the downlink fast power control, and comparing the calculated mean with the threshold; and performing the handoff to a neighbor BS when the mean of the RSSs is less than the threshold.
