2116979 9401975 PCTABS00030 A method and apparatus of performing handoffs in a cellular communication system, such method including the step of providing a switch at each point in a signal path bridging at least two cells. The method further includes the steps of determining (102) that handoff of a communication transaction from a serving cell to a target cell is indicated and identifying (103) a switch in a signal path to the serving cell bridging the serving and target cells. The method finally includes handing off (104) through the bridging switch. The apparatus of such method of performing handoff (104) includes the inclusion of a switch at each signal distribution point bridging at least two service coverage areas. Handoff within such a system may then by initiated from a serving base site based upon information contained in a means for configuring, and requesting that handoff occur within the switch bridging serving and target cells.
