Energy consumption becomes a critical issue within all industries. Especially, mobile communication systems is expected to be a major component of the world energy consumption budget. Handoff can highly affects the overall energy consumption of mobile communication systems. So it is important to taken into account energy consumption of handoff. In this paper, the transmission power to an MS during handoff is analyzed taking into account the macroscopic diversity. It is calculated for both hard handoff mode and soft handoff mode. The result shows that soft handoff mode is more efficient in view of energy consumption.
