Abstract

Channel assignment is performed by utilizing a base station controller (BSC) or a base station depending upon a mobile unit's RF environment and/or the type of call being made. By performing call setup in this manner, mobiles that access with no soft handoff requirement (approximately 50% of mobile in IS-2000 systems) will have faster setup times.
