Question - What is handover and what are its types?
Answer -
Handover in mobile communication refers to the process of transferring a call from one network cell to another without breaking the call. There are two types of handover which are as follows:
- Hard Handoff: hard handoff is the process in which the cell connection is disconnected from the previous cell before it is made with the new one.
- Soft Handoff: It is the process in which a new connection is established first before disconnecting the old one. It is thus more efficient and smart.
