A cellular communication system with enhanced Quality-of-Service (QoS) during the hand-off process is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of cells, each including a corresponding base station. Based on the history of a mobile user's positions, the base station of the cell in which the user is located predicts the user's future position. If the future position is in an area covered by another base station (i.e., the target base station), the base station initiates QoS negotiations with the target base station. The target base station allocates resources according to the negotiated QoS if the mobile user enters the area covered by the target base station as predicted.
