Abstract
A mobile station that determines whether to perform a soft handover in a CDMA mobile communication system and method thereof. The mobile station compares strength of a signal received from a source BTS (Base Transceiver Station) with a prescribed reference value. If the strength of the signal received from the source BTS is larger than the reference value, the mobile station determines whether to perform a soft handover based on a new offset value being smaller than a previous hysteresis no matter how strong a signal received from a target BTS is.
