Changes

Handoff means switching a cellular phone transmission from one cell to another as a mobile user moves into a new cellular area. It is so called because the radio link with the previous sector(s) is not broken before a link is established with a new sector; this type of handoff is described as "make before break". In CDMA, due to this soft handoff, there is no interruption of call even at the border of a cell site which means more number of customers can be accommodated, automatically increasing the capacity of the cell site.This is make-before-break technology.
