Information on Handover

As a GSM mobile station moves, it may move out of the coverage of the base station to which it is affiliated. When this occurs, a change of affiliation (known as handoff or handover) may occur. If the mobile has a currently active connection, the network provides a seamless transition to the new base station, and maintains the connection. This is only possible if capacity is available on the new base station.
