Methods and systems are provided for dynamically expanding and retracting a frame selection interval in a wireless communication network. A frame selector receives a sequence of frames for a call from each of a plurality of base stations serving a mobile communication device for the call, and performs a frame selection process based on an initial selection interval to select a best frame from the sequence of frames received from each of the base stations during each instance of the initial selection interval. The frame selector is adapted to track the presence and absence of late or early frames, and uses this information to dynamically expand the frame selection interval when late or early frames are detected. The frame selector then performs the frame selection process based on the expanded selection interval to select the best frame from the sequence of frames during subsequent instances of the expanded selection interval.
