Abstract

In one embodiment of the present invention, an update method preference value (401) is determined as between a group update method and an individual update method for a wireless communication system (100). Also, a plurality of communication units are partitioned into at least one group, which at least one group is further partitioned into at least one subgroup (402). Once partitioned, a number of communication units in the at least one subgroup is determined (403) and, along with the update method preference value, is applied to a predetermined function to select an update method (404). The update method is used to update a communication unit parameter in communication units included in the at least one subgroup (405). Using this method, the update of communication unit parameters can be achieved automatically through the use of group and individual updates.
