Abstract

A method and system for providing a handoff trigger in a wireless communication system. A mobile handoff prediction is generated with a mobile node. At least one handoff prediction is generated with at least one access network within radio range of the mobile node. The mobile handoff prediction and the at least one network handoff prediction are transmitted to a network control server. A handoff is initiated if the mobile handoff prediction and a respective one of the at least one handoff predictions match.
