Methods and apparatuses for radiocommunication systems including energy (e.g., signal strength) measurements are described. To enable measurements to be performed in parallel with information signal decoding and demodulation, a duplicate of a received signal can be made. The duplicate can be processed to enable measurement on any desired channel. Various access methodologies including FDMA, TDMA and CDMA are contemplated. The measurement information can then be reported to the system for usage in handoff determination. The inventive techniques allow for MAHO measurements to be performed without idle time being available for a receiver and without a dedicated scanning receiver being provided solely for measurement purposes.
