<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus which permit handoffs while a mobile station is in the system access state. <P>SOLUTION: The method and apparatus permit handoffs while the mobile station 2 is in the system access state. This is achieved by providing for channel assignment messages to be sent over the paging channel of a plurality of base stations 26 (26a-26i), which increases the probability of one of the messages getting through. In addition, this assures the mobile station 2 can perform the handoff to a different base station 26 and have a traffic channel allocated to it on the new base station 26 without delay. In addition, a method and apparatus permits the mobile station 2 to be directly assigned into a soft handoff state upon traffic channel assignment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
