ABSTRACT:
A communication device (107) employs a method for determining signal quality of a communication channel (117) in a communication system (100). Upon receipt of a radio signal, a communication device (107), such as a portable radio, determines the signal quality of at least two portions (121, 124) of the communication channel (117) over which the radio signal was transmitted. The communication device (107) then determines which of the determined signal qualities is lowest and selects the lowest determined signal quality as the signal quality of the communication channel (117). The communication device (107) can then use the selected channel quality in the handoff decision-making process.
