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:
“The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system ... which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
