  • System and method for quality-driven channel selection in a communication network
    Patent number: 6442157
    Abstract: A system and method for quality-driven channel selection in a communication network that measures interference on idle and active voice channels in a first quality-driven channel selection (QCS) cell is disclosed. A voice channel queue is automatically ordered based on a clearest voice channel which is determined by a reverse bit error rate (RBER) measurement and a forward bit error rate (FBER) measurement on the active voice channels and by an idle noise measurement on the idle voice channels. Further, dynamic channel sets (DCS) are created from the voice channel queue based on the RBER, FBER, and idle noise received, where the DCS are queues that include low interference channels and moderate interference channels.
