A system for performing a handoff of a wireless unit uses location information for the wireless unit to determine whether to handoff the wireless unit and/or to which base station to handoff the wireless unit. For example, a wireless unit can have a location system, such as a global positioning system (GPS), which determines the location of the wireless unit. The wireless unit can obtain location information for the wireless unit and provide the location information to the serving base station. From the location information, the serving base station can determine that the wireless unit is leaving the coverage area of the serving base station and may need to be handed off. The serving base station then can send at least a portion of the location information to the MSC, and the MSC can determine to which base station the wireless unit is handed off to based on the location information. Alternatively, the serving base station can determine to which base station the wireless unit is to be handed off.
