Dynamic learning of neighboring wireless cells

A method of learning of target base stations to which activity transfers of wireless handsets can be made from a current base station in a wireless switching system, comprising the steps of:

• performing activity transfers from the current base station to each of the target base stations;
• measuring performance of each of the target base stations in maintaining the activities of the wireless handsets and the step of measuring comprises the step of calculating the average maximum amount of transmission power received from each of the target base stations after each of the activity transfers from the current base station to each of the target base stations;
• recording the measured performance of each of the target base stations;
• and
• determining subsequently one of the target base stations to which to do a activity transfer based on the recorded measured performance of the target base stations.
