Abstract

See full text

In a multiple site communication system, a method for determining when to hand off a communication that is occurring on one communication resource to another communication resource may be accomplished in the following manner. Once a communication unit is allocated a communication resource, it begins to monitor signal usabilities of the allocated communication resource and a predetermined set of alternate communication resources. A broadcast unit associated with the allocated communication resource also monitors the signal usability of the allocated communication resource. When the signal usability of the allocated communication resource is determined to be unfavorable by the communication unit or the broadcast unit, one of the alternate communication resources is selected based on calculated signal usability, such that the communication unit can continue the communication.
