Abstract :
The handoff performance is very important in a cellular radio system, especially in densely populated urban areas. This paper presents some statistical results of currently operating cellular system in Jinan city and through field measurements, we analyze propagation effects on intercell handoff and intracell handoff in the Jinan cellular system. We conclude that a new, practical handoff algorithm should be applied for handoff initiation and decision in cellular system under modern urban propagation environments
