Abstract
A method and system for selecting the best handoff candidate cell at times when the number of neighboring cells that meet the measurement criteria is greater than twelve a measurement list is generated. The cells are assigned a handoff measurement priority wherein a handoff priority of zero is assigned to 12-N cells where N is between 1 and 6. A priority of 8 is assigned to the worst N cells. A new measurement list is generated using the 12-N cells and other unreported cells having a higher priority than the N worst cells.
