A multi-cell communication system (100) that includes a plurality of communication units (105, 106), a plurality of base radios (108-112), and at least one system controller (128) employs a method (200) and apparatus for allocating a communication resource to a communication unit within a zone (101). In establishing a communication (118) for a communication unit (105) via a base radio (110), a communication resource (124) is allocated to the communication unit (105). This allocation of the communication resource (124) is maintained for the communication unit (105) for as long as the communication unit (105) is engaged in the communication (118) within the zone (101). When the communication unit (105) hands-off to another base radio (108) within the zone (101), deallocation of the communication resource (124) from the communication unit (105) is prevented during and after the hand-off to improve system capacity while minimizing hand-off muting.
