Baton Handover

Baton handover is another salient feature implemented in TD-SCDMA, and is particularly suitable for TDD mode operation. Under the baton handover concept, the system 　 is able to support both intra- and inter frequency handovers, ensuring higher handover accuracy and shorter handover delay for operations within a TD-SCDMA system.

Utilize TDD features and uplink synchronization

Adopt Pre-synchronization to get UL information

Benefits

It’s a comparable technology with soft handover but with much lower cost.

The handover period can be reduced

Successful handover Rate can be increased

Handover call drop rate can be reduced

No data loss both uplink and downlink
