A method and apparatus for providing soft hand-off in a mobile communication system. In current systems, members of an active set of base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) are determined by comparing measured pilot energy with fixed thresholds. The value of providing a redundant communication link to a mobile station (2) primarily depends on the energy of other signals being provided to the mobile station (2). In the present invention, the signal strength of each signal transmitted by other base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) in communication with a mobile station (2) is considered when determining whether to add a base station to the set of base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) in communication with the remote station. A base station is added only if the signal received from that base station provides sufficient added value to justify the impact on system capacity.

Procédé et dispositif pour transfert souple dans un système de communication mobile. Dans les systèmes actuels, les membres d'un ensemble actif de stations de base (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) sont identifiés en comparant une énergie indicative mesurée à des seuils fixes. La valeur d'une liaison de communication redondante établie vers une station mobile (2) dépend principalement de l'énergie fournie à la station mobile (2) par d'autres signaux. Dans le présent procédé on tient compte de l'intensité de chaque signal transmis par d'autres stations de base (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) en communication avec une station mobile (2) pour déterminer s'il y a lieu d'ajouter une station de base à l'ensemble de stations de base (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) en communication avec la station éloignée. Une station de base n'est ajoutée que si le signal reçu depuis cette station de base apporte une valeur complémentaire suffisante pour justifier son impact sur la capacité du système.
