<p>In a mobile communication system, a method and an apparatus for handing off a mobile station (MS) from a first channel (CH1) on a serving base station (BS1) to a second channel (CH2) on a target base station (BS2), said mobile station (MS) transmitting at a first transmission phase on said first channel (CH1), said second channel (CH2) being ready to take over the communication with said mobile station (MS) transmitting at a second transmission phase, wherein a time offset determining means (TODM) is provided in said target base station (BS2) and is adapted to tune in to said mobile station (MS) for determining, prior to a handoff, the time offset between said first transmission phase and said second transmission phase, and a time shifting means (TSM) is provided for shifting, upon handoff, the transmission phase of said mobile station (MS) by said determined time offset relative to said first transmission phase.</p> |
