Abstract  Abstract

PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for executing a handoff in a mobile telecommunication system supporting transmission diversity is provided to execute a soft handoff between a TSTD(Time Switched Transmission Diversity) MS(Mobile Station) and two TSTD BSs(Base Stations). CONSTITUTION: BS #A alternately selects transmission antennas and transmits signals in a TSTD mode(310). Before entering handoff process, BS #A transfers the present mode to a non TSTD mode. Based on an antenna selection message transmitted from an MS, only one of the antennas of BS #A transmits signals to the MS(320). During the soft handoff, BSs #A and #B transmit identical information to the MS in a non TSTD method at the same time(330). The MS allocates a finger for each transmission path from each BS and receives information. At this moment, the selection of a transmission antenna in BS #B depends entirely on the judgement of BS #B as the MS that hasnt received any signal from BS #B cannot judge which transmission antenna has good transmission quality. If the soft handoff is completed, only BS #B transmits signals to the MS(340). Afterwards, BS #B transmits signals in the TSTD mode, and the MS also receives the signals in the TSTD mode(350).
