handoff
HO
(HO, or "handoff") the mechanism by which an
on-going cellular connection between a mobile terminal (MT,
typically a mobile phone) or mobile host (MH) and a
corresponding terminal or host is transferred from one point
of access of the fixed network to another.
Handover may occur because the phone is leaving its current
cell, to balance demand between cells, to reduce interference
or to transfer a user who has stopped moving to a nearby cell
with shorter range.
