<p>The process of the present invention monitors a macrocell's control channel using a microcell having a control channel tuned to the same frequency and digital color code. Both the microcell and the macrocell have the same controller that waits for an access message. Once the access message is received, the controller waits for a duplicate access message within a predetermined time. If the duplicate access message is received from the microcell, the microcell's control channel RSSI of the radiotelephone is measured (RSSIm) to determine if it is greater than or equal to the threshold required for adequate communication with the microcell. If the RSSIm is greater than or equal to the threshold, the radiotelephone is assigned to the microcell. Otherwise, the radiotelephone is assigned to the macrocell.</p> |
