Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus implements a signal quality measurement (706) in a radio communication system for delivering a message (528) to a subscriber unit (122) in a coverage zone (402). In a fixed portion (102) of the system, for each coverage zone (402) of a group including the coverage zone (402) and other coverage zones (402) that are first tier co-channel interferers thereof, a silence slot is assigned in one of a plurality of synchronized signal quality measurement (SQM) slots. The assignment is such that within the group no two coverage zones (402) have the silence slot assigned to an identical one of the SQM slots. The fixed portion (102) transmits a silent signal from selected ones of the coverage zones (402) of the group in the silence slot assigned thereto, and transmits a predetermined signal from the selected ones in a remainder of the SQM slots not assigned thereto as the silence slot, and thereafter transmits the message (528).
