A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for obtaining an accurate reverse-link Carrier-to-Interference (C/I) measurement for a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)-based system in a field environment. The field measurement is performed by using one time slot (voice channel) of one TDMA carrier for recording the carrier signal strength while two other time slots (two idle voice channels) are used in recording the co-channel or adjacent channel interference in a pseudo real time basis. Either the maximum interference or the average interference on the two additional time slots can be used to determine the C/I performance. Alternatively, only one additional time slot can be used to measure the interference. For example, if one of the additional time slots is busy, the interference can be measured on the other one of the additional time slots.
