ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a receive signal quality estimate in a subscriber unit (SU) located in a given geographic area covered by a wireless communication system of a kind in which a base station transmits downlink signals in a group of successive time frames directed to a set of geographic areas including an area in which the SU is located, wherein each of the group of successive time frames has signals aimed at a corresponding one of the set of geographic areas. The method comprises the steps of activating a receiver in the SU to listen over a determined listening interval that at least partly coincides with the group of successive time frames; measuring a signal strength of at least one downlink signal received by the SU receiver during the determined listening interval within one of, a time frame of the group of successive time frames corresponding to a geographic area in which the SU is located, and one other time frame of the group of successive time frames corresponding to a geographic area other than the geographic area in which the SU is located; and producing an estimate of receive signal quality at the SU according to a result of the measuring step.
