A handoff trial method by a mobile station that compares a pilot power strength of a base station providing communication service to the mobile station with a pilot power strength of a neighboring base station and attempts to handoff based on the comparing results. As a result of comparing, if the difference is larger than a pilot threshold to try handoff, the mobile station transmits a signal measurement message to the service base station for handoff to the neighboring base station. Also, if the mobile station communicated with a plurality of base stations tries to cut calls with the base stations, the mobile station measures pilot power strengths of the service base stations compares therebetween. As a result of the comparing, if the difference is smaller than a pilot threshold to cut call, the mobile station tries to cut call with the associated base station. The method has the effects that can reduce occurrence frequency of handoff, power consumption of the mobile station and signal processing loads of the service base station.

1. Handoff trial method by a mobile station comprising the steps of: a first step of measuring and storing a pilot power strength (pilot_A) of a base station on service; a second step of measuring and storing a pilot power strength (pilot_B) of a neighboring base station; a third step of comparing the sum of the pilot_A and pilot threshold_1 set to the mobile station to try handoff with the pilot_B; a forth step of, if the pilot_B is larger than the sum of the pilot_A and pilot threshold_1 as a result of the comparing, storing associated pilot offsets out of the pilot_B at a predetermined times and counting the stored times; a fifth step of identifying whether the counting times reaches at a predetermined times to detect a pilot signal suited for handoff condition; a sixth step of, if the counting times reaches at the predetermined times as a result of the identifying, identifying whether the stored pilot offsets are all the same; and a seventh step of, if the pilot offsets are all the same as a result of the identifying, sending a signal measurement message having the stored pilot offsets and associated pilot power strengths to the service base station and requesting handoff therefrom.
