Abstract
A method of prioritizing handoff requests in a cellular system is disclosed in which at least one handoff request for assignment of a communication channel is received from at least one mobile unit. A cutoff time for the handoff request is determined. The handoff requests are arranged in a priority queue based on the cutoff time associated with each handoff request. Available communication channels are assigned to the mobile units requesting handoff in the order of the queue.
