Abstract

The present invention comprises a system for mobile communications. The system comprises a base station (12) having logic for evaluating parameters relating to the quality of individual communication links (14a-17a) between the base station (12) and each of a plurality of mobile units and selecting those parameters that optimize the quality of the communication link (14-17) for each individual mobile unit. The system also comprises circuitry residing in each mobile unit for establishing an optimized communication link (14-17) with the base station (12). In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method is disclosed for mobile communications comprising three steps. In step one, parameters representative of transmission quality for individual communication links (14a-17a) between a base station (12) and each of the plurality of mobile units are monitored. In steps two, the parameters for each of the individual communication links (14a-17a) are evaluated to determine the optimum quality for each link. In step three, transmission attributes are selected in response to the evaluated parameters to optimize the transmission quality of each link.
