Mobile telecommunication system with adaptive handoff mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a mobile telecommunication system comprising:

• measuring a measured target power and a measured server power;
• predicting a future target power and a future server power for a prediction tap number from when the measured target power and the measured server power are measured;
• computing an estimation error and a prediction error associated with the future target power and the future server power;
• determining a handoff hysteresis level based on the estimation error and the prediction error;
• and
• sending a handoff trigger for transferring a mobile station from a server station to a target station when the future target power minus both the future server power and the handoff hysteresis level is greater than zero for longer than a time-to-trigger.

A mobile telecommunication system comprising:

• a channel estimation module, for measuring a measured target power and a measured server power;
• a channel prediction module, coupled to the channel estimation module, for predicting a future target power and a future server power for a prediction tap number from when the measured target power and the measured server power are measured;
• an error module, coupled to the channel prediction module, for computing an estimation error and a prediction error associated with the future target power and the future server power;
• a hysteresis level module, coupled to the error module, for determining a handoff hysteresis level based on the estimation error and the prediction error;
• and
• a trigger handoff module, coupled to the hysteresis level module, for sending a handoff trigger for transferring a mobile station from a server station to a target station when the future target power minus both the future server power and the handoff hysteresis level is greater than zero.
