1. A method for assigning a sequence of channels among a plurality of sequences in a spread spectrum communication system to at least one of a plurality of subscriber units having predefined transmission intervals and predefined transition intervals, comprising the steps of:

  • estimating a combination of a noise level and an interference level by measuring a signal strength during a series of transition intervals for at least one sequence of channels among the plurality of sequences;

    computing an average noise and interference level for the at least one sequence of channels; and

    selecting the at least one sequence of channels having the lowest average noise and interference level for a next transmission of information in the spread spectrum communication system.
