ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for checking the cell of preference in a multi-cell communications system is disclosed. While a communications receiver or transceiver is currently receiving an acceptable signal from a current cell, a cell of preference is checked for a brief period of time for a cell beacon. If a cell beacon is received, the receiver or transceiver continues to receive the cell of preference. If not, the receiver or transceiver returns to the current host cell. The preferred embodiment is directed to a land mobile radio system which broadcasts cell ID codes at periodic intervals. In the preferred embodiment, the transceiver checks-in to the cell of preference to announce its presence such that future communications can be directed to the radio after check-in.
