Claim One:
1. A method of establishing a mechanism to make handover decisions in a mobile communication system having a plurality of base units and a plurality of mobile units wherein each of said mobile units and said base units operate in geographic areas on set frequencies and wherein at least one given base unit operates on at least two frequencies comprising the steps of: establishing in a neural network a plurality of input nodes, said number of input nodes being equal to or greater than the number of base units in said system; layering said neural network with intermediate nodes, each of said intermediate nodes being interconnected with the other intermediate nodes and said input nodes and having a weighing coefficient; outputting signals at a plurality of output nodes, said number of output nodes being equal or greater in number than the number of base units in said system; creating a set of preliminary weighing coefficients to at least one layer of said intermediate nodes by traversing the actual area used by said base stations with a test vehicle containing a mobile unit and establishing weighing coefficients based upon actual communication with the base stations in said system; comparing the outputs of said plurality of said output nodes against a known result and repeating said creating step until said output from said output nodes equals or exceeds said known result.
