Handover or handoff is as important for UMTS as any other form of cellular telecommunications system. As with any other cellular telecommunications system it is essential that UMTS handover is performed seamlessly so that the user is not aware of any change. Any failures within the UMTS handover (or UMTS handoff) procedure will lead to dropped calls which will in turn result in user dissatisfaction and ultimately it may lead to users changing networks, thereby increasing the churn rate. It is worth noting that the two terms UMTS handover and UMTS handoff have the same meaning. UMTS handover tends is the terminology that tends to be used within Europe, whereas UMTS handoff is more likely to be used within North America.
