Abstract
In a method in a transceiver for selecting a communication parameter for communicating with a concentrated subscriber unit, wherein the concentrated subscriber unit includes a plurality of subscriber terminals, a subscriber terminal identification number of one of the subscriber terminals is determined. Next, N number of selected digits in the subscriber terminal identification number are set equal to predetermined values to produce a modified subscriber terminal identification number. the modified subscriber terminal identification number is then hashed using a hashing function to produce a communication parameter indicator. Finally the communication parameter is selected in response to the communication parameter indicator, wherein groups of subscriber terminal identification numbers having non-selected digits with the same value are hashed to produce the same communication parameter indicator. The communication parameter selected may be a carrier frequency used by the communications system.
