With the use of user dependent spreading codes in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) networks and the application of multi-path aware radio receivers a novel type of handover execution becomes possible. The soft and softer handover describes the situation in which a mobile terminal communicates with the radio access networks via two or even more different links. Instead of breaking an existing connection to an old base station and establishing a new connection to one neighbouring base station, soft handover seamlessly adds another radio link as a parallel connection. In this paper, soft handover parameters, regions, and performance issues are discussed. Results are obtained in an analytical manner as well as by means of dynamic simulation, both considering a realistic dense urban scenario area.
