<p>A method of performing handover of a call associated with a mobile station (P2) in one cell (3) but moving towards another cell (2), which includes making a first attempt, using for example a MUX1 SNIFF procedure, on the channel allocated to the mobile station for that call, and if that attempt fails allocating the mobile station a different channel in the one cell (3) and making a second attempt. This different channel allocation (intracell handover) is performed even if there are no better signal characteristics achieved as a result. This procedure makes it more likely to be possible to achieve handover when a second mobile station (P1) associated with an adjacent cell (1) and operating on the same channel as the first mobile station (P2) is also within range of the basestation (5) of the other cell (2). <IMAGE></p> |
