Disclosed is a handoff method connected with resource allocation in order
to prevent QoS degradation, which may occur during or before/after a
handoff on account of channel state change resulting from the mobility of
a radio communication apparatus. To this end, a serving base station
currently-connected to the radio communication apparatus and a target
base station to be connected after a handoff periodically or
non-periodically measure uplink/downlink channel states in relation to
the radio communication apparatus, and the target base station allocates
resources (e.g., time slot, specific subcarrier, or specific frequency
band) most suitable for the service requested from the radio
communication apparatus during a handoff, thereby preventing QoS
degradation due to the handoff. In addition, in the case of a radio
communication apparatus using multiple antennas, the serving base station
notifies the target base station of a multi-antenna operation mode in
relation to the radio communication apparatus before finishing a handoff
procedure, thereby minimizing QoS degradation due to the handoff.
