Abstract
A method and system for measuring signal level in a telecommunications system having a mobile assisted handoff (MAHO) feature. The method and system utilizes the MAHO feature to perform signal level measurements, at a mobile station, on channels other than handoff measurement channels on which signal level is measured for MAHO purposes. Use of the method and system reduces the effects of making additional measurements on the efficiency of the MAHO process. A system operator may obtain signal level measurements for various purposes other than MAHO without adversely effecting the MAHO process.
