Abstract
When a receive signal strength received from a target network that will perform the handoff is larger than a reference strength, software related to the target network is previously installed in the corresponding portable terminal, a wireless connection environment with the target network is configured by driving the software related to the target network at the time of determining that the handoff is performed, and performs the handoff to the target network in the portable terminal.
Claims13
A method for handoff of a portable terminal between heterogeneous networks of which service areas are overlapped, comprising:
- verifying whether or not a receive signal strength received from a target network that will perform the handoff is larger than a reference strength;
- installing software related to the target network in the corresponding portable terminal when the receive signal strength from the target network is larger than the reference strength;
- and
- configuring a wireless connection environment with the target network by driving the software related to the target network and performing the handoff to the target network at the time of performing the handoff to the target network.
