Abstract

A method is offered of achieving a desired C/I ratio within a cellular system, at reduced transmitter power levels, by measuring a signal loss on a downlink between a base site transmitter (31) and mobile receiver (20) and calculating an uplink signal magnitude at a base site receiver. A communication channel is then selected from a number of communication channels based upon comparison of the uplink signal magnitude with pre-measured interference levels for each channel of the number of channels to produce a desired C/I ratio.
