Abstract
A multi-mode mobile station independently determines the radio signal quality of a serving mobile system by evaluating the error rate associated with the received forward-link-channel messages. In response to a determination that the calculated error rate is greater than an acceptable threshold level, the mobile station then attempts to access an alternative service system capable of providing better and more reliable telecommunications service.
