Network handover techniques

Network handover is the process that allows your device, like a smartphone, to switch seamlessly between different networks or access points as you move, ensuring continuous connectivity. Techniques include "hard handover," where the connection switches abruptly from one network to another, and "soft handover," which maintains multiple connections temporarily for a smoother transition. Modern systems often use seamless handover methods, such as making the switch invisible to the user, so calls or data sessions aren't interrupted. Overall, these techniques help maintain reliable communication, especially when moving between different coverage areas or networks.
