<p>A communication system dynamically assigns channels to a subscriber unit so as to, inter alia, mitigate the effects of co-channel interference in the system. The communication system has a plurality of base-stations (111, 112, 115, 118) receiving the transmission of a subscriber unit (120, 100, 121) desiring service. Upon receipt of the subscriber unit's transmission, each base-station determines a signal quality value, which it then reports to a system controller (210). The system controller determines the best signal quality value reported and assigns a channel to the base-station which reported the best signal quality value. The chosen base-station transmits to the subscriber unit on an assigned channel to establish communication. The assigned channel transmitted by the chosen base-station need not be associated with the channel the subscriber transmits on. In fact, either channel may be any one of the channels allocated for use by the communication system.</p> |
