<p>A method and system for improving the quality of service for data transmission to a mobile station (10). In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a candidate cell (38(2)) for handoff of the mobile station is identified in response to the detection of a need to perform a handoff. Buffering resources for use in connection with the data transmissions are then allocated (82) in the candidate cell. In accordance with another embodiment, a condition causing a potential reduction in the quality of service to the mobile station is detected, and in response thereto, an existing allocation of buffering resources in the system is increased (56) to compensate for the potential reduction in the quality of service. In accordance with yet another embodiment of the invention, a condition causing a potential reduction in the quality of service to the mobile station is detected. In response thereto, a transmission rate of data to the mobile station is increased (116) to compensate for the potential reduction in the quality of service.</p> |
