Abstract

The invention relates to a cellular communication system and a method for a handover in a cellular communication system which comprises at least one base station (BTS) per each cell, which base station is controlled by a base station controller (BSC) which controls one or more base stations, and which base station controller with the base stations under its control form a base station system (BSS). In order that interference-free handover be achieved in accordance with the invention, the service areas of base stations under different base station controllers (BSC1, BSC2) at the border of two or more base station systems (BSS1, BSS2) at least partly overlap, and that as a terminal equipment (MS) moves from one base station system (BSC1) to another (BSC2), the handover is carried out so that as the terminal equipment moves into a cell served by two or more base stations (BTS11, BTS21) which belong to areas of different base station controllers, the terminal equipment carries out a soft handover from the hold cell (BTS12) to the new cell (BTS11), and as it further moves towards the cell border, it carries out a hard handover from the base station (BTS11) of the old base station system (BSS1) to the base station (BTS21) of the new base station system (BSS2) the service area of which base station (BTS21) at least partly overlaps with the previous base station.
