A Virtual Soft Handover (VSHO) process for high data rate (HDR) applications is disclosed that considers the total number packets remaining to be transmitted prior to initiating the VSHO. An HD R mobile terminal maintains data transmission information relating to an amount of data to be transmitted during a data transfer in progress during a data session. The data transmission information may include, for example, the total packet size of a data transmission and the data transmission status (i.e , the number of packets remaining to be transmitted). The decision of whether to perform a VSHO is made according to the data transmission information. In one embodiment, a VSHO may be deactivated when the number of packets remaining to be transmitted is less than a certain threshold. In other embodiments, a VSHO may not be performed if the total packet size is smaller than a certain threshold.
