Abstract
A method for controlling a handoff from a first base station to a second base station involves receiving a hand off request including connection data from a client of a mobile device from the first base station at a handoff server of a system network provider. Handoff data is generated for controlling the handoff from the first base station to the second base station responsive to the connection data. The handoff data is transmitted from the handoff server of the system network provider to the client of the mobile device.
