A mobile station is disclosed that functions within a 3G DS-CDMA communication system, in which a separate active set is defined for each of the different channel types. With the use of a separate Fundamental Channel Active Set, Forward Link-Supplemental Channel Active Set, Reverse Link-Supplemental Channel Active Set, and Dedicated Control Channel Active Set a flexible handoff of a multi-service active session is possible. Each type of channel is capable of handing off separately, thereby allowing channels with different requirements, such as resource requirements or signal strength requirements, to be handed off at different times, to different basestations, and/or in different methods (ie. soft or hard handoff). The handoffs are initiated by a basestation controller by updating, within the mobile station and the applicable basestations, the particular active set corresponding to the physical channel requiring a handoff. |
