In a cellular telephone network, handoff is the transition for any given user of signal transmission from one base station to a geographically adjacent base station as the user moves around.
In mobile communications, the handoff is the process of transferring an active call or data session from one cell in a cellular network or from one channel to another. In satellite communications, it is the process of transferring control from one earth station to another. Handoff is necessary for preventing loss of interruption of service to a caller or a data session user. Handoff is also called handover.
When a mobile moves into a different cell while a conversation is in progress the MSC automatically transfers the call to a new channel belonging to the new base station. This process of transferring the channels between two cells is called Hand-Off.
