Method and apparatus for channel management in a communication system

摘要: A communications controller (132) transfers communication links from a first receiver (144) to second (146) when system quality parameter exceeds threshold. The is used perform idle carrier scanning by tuning each and executing metric measuring procedure for the or channel on carrier. metrics are stored in memory (160) carriers ranked according their corresponding metrics. adds replaces based ranking. In this manner, channels may be more efficiently managed.
