ABSTRACT
When a platform with either an active or suspended session moves to another cell, a hand-off is needed. We assume hand-off detection and initiation are perfect. For a voice session, a hand-off attempt will succeed to gain a connection in the target cell if there are fewer than C voice sessions in that cell. A voice session that fails to gain a connection will lose its wireless link and be cleared from system. For a data session, a hand-off attempt will gain access to a connection in the target cell if there are less than C sessions, either of voice type or data type, in progress in that cell. When a hand-off of a data session fails, a session will be suspended if the reconnection counter in the terminal indicates less than TV and no more than H suspended sessions are in the same cell.
