This article presents a general evaluation of handoff dwell time distribution based on geometric analysis methods. Considering the geometric characteristic of the deployed sector pattern, and the distribution of the users' position and the moving direction in the given sector, the general formulas of the probability density function of sector handoff dwell time are derived. Some numerical results are also presented for illustration.
