Abstract
In the proposed handoff scheme for a cellular ATM network, if the number of successive handoffs of a mobile is less than a preset number, the traffic path is simply elongated by a PVC between the new cell and the current cell. If the number reaches the preset number, the traffic path is rerouted to a PVC between the new cell and the ATM switch. By limiting the number of successive path elongations, the path efficiency can be improved and the network´s processing load can be kept light
