Abstract
A method for providing a reverse link handoff mechanism includes, with respect to communication between a mobile station and a first cell, initiating a start of a cell switch delay by transmitting a request that a new data channel be established with a second cell. The method further includes communicating with the first cell during the cell switch delay and upon an end of the cell switch delay, switching data transmission to the second cell. The cell switch delay is a time interval extending from a time that the request is transmitted until startig of reception of data packets via the new data channel by the second cell. The application of the cell switch delay is determined based on a location of the first cell and the second cell.
