Abstract
A method for extending hard-handoff boundaries within a mobile telephone communications network is disclosed. There are multiple cells within a CDMA cellular/PCS telephone communications network, in which some of the cells operate under two separate carrier frequencies. In order to extend the hard-handoff boundary of a boundary cell that operates under two carrier frequencies, a neighboring cell adjacent to the boundary cell but operating under only one of the two carrier frequencies of the boundary cell must first be located. Then, a repeater with a fixed or adjustable delay is placed between the boundary cell and the neighboring cell such that the hard-handoff boundary of the boundary cell is extended.
