Inter and Intra System Handoff
Inter System Handoff:
• If during ongoing call mobile unit moves from one cellular system to a different cellular system which is controlled by different MTSO, a handoff procedure which is used to avoid dropping of call is referred as Inter System Handoff.
• An MTSO engages in this handoff system. When a mobile signal becomes weak in a given cell and MTSO can not find other cell with in its system to which it can transfer the call then it uses Inter system handoff.
• Before implementation of Inter System Handoff MTSO compatibility must be checked and in Inter System Handoff local call may become long distance call.
Intra System Handoff:
• If during ongoing call mobile unit moves from one cellular system to adjacent cellular system which is controlled by same MTSO, a handoff procedure which is used to avoid dropping of call is referred as Intra System Handoff.
• An MTSO engages in this handoff system. When a mobile signal becomes weak in a given cell and MTSO find other cell with in its system to which it can transfer the call then it uses Intra system handoff.
• In Intra System Handoff local calls always remain local call only since after handoff also the call is handled by same MTSO.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“How natural that the errors of the ancient should be handed down and, mixing with the principles and system which Christ taught, give to us an adulterated Christianity.”
—Olympia Brown (1835–1900)
