Abstract
The handover method disclosed relates to a mobile communication system in which, based on the number of handovers in mobile units, the size of the radio zone to be assigned to a mobile unit is selected. The mobile switching center measures the number of handovers in each of the mobile units engaging in communication and, during the handover in the mobile unit, the handover target radio zone is assigned based on the measured value of the number of handovers. The target handover of mobile units is determined by the target determination controller based the number of handovers memorized in the handover number recorder. The assignment of the appropriate size radio zone prevents an excess load on the mobile switching center and the capacity to accommodate subscribers in the mobile communication system is enhanced.
