Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining whether to handoff in a wireless communication system (100). The system (100) collects first environmental variables related to a first mobile station (105) within the wireless communication system (100). The system (100) determines when a communication between a base station (101) and the first mobile station (105) is improperly terminated. The system (100) analyzes, when the communication is improperly terminated, the first environmental variables to generate environmental conditions rules. The system (100) then applies the environmental conditions rules to a second mobile station (106) which subsequently communicates with the base station (101) and which has second environment variables substantially similar to the first environmental variables.
