Abstract
A method and a system for switching a mobile device (102) from a source Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to a target BTS in a mobile network (100) are disclosed. The method includes detecting an intention to switch the cell transmitted by the mobile device. A Base Station Controller (BSC) (112) then receives the switch detect time from the source BTS and/or the target BTS. The switch detect time is processed by the BSC to determine the switch time for the mobile device. The mobile device then switches from communication with the source BTS to communication with the target BTS, based on the switch time.
