Abstract
A method for performing a handoff of an active communication connection for a mobile user station from a macrocell to one or more femtocells. In one aspect, the present invention provides an improved handoff for situations in which the mobile user station is moved into an indoor residential or enterprise environment within which the signal strength of the mobile user station with respect to the macrocell base transceiver station becomes relatively low. In one embodiment, the method efficiently performs a handoff of an active communication connection from a macrocell to one or more femtocells while minimizing the likelihood of dropping the active communication connection during the handoff.
