First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a two-way radio messaging system for dynamically selecting a frequency reuse plan, comprising the steps of:
- monitoring, by a plurality of base receivers, an inbound channel for an inbound transmission from a portable subscriber unit;
determining a count of how many base receivers are in a subset of the plurality of base receivers that reliably receive the inbound transmission; and
selecting the frequency reuse plan, based upon the count.

Abstract
A method and apparatus in a radio messaging system monitors (304, 404), by a plurality of base receivers (207), an inbound channel for an inbound transmission from a portable subscriber unit (122), and determines (306, 406) a subset of the plurality of base receivers that reliably receive the inbound transmission. The method and apparatus then selects (310, 408) a frequency reuse plan for the radio messaging system, based upon the subset.

10. A controller in a two-way radio messaging system for dynamically selecting a frequency reuse plan, the controller comprising:
-
a network interface for receiving a message from a message originator; a processing system coupled to the network interface for processing the message; and an output interface coupled to the processing system for communicating with a plurality of base receivers, wherein the processing system is programmed to; monitor, through the plurality of base receivers, an inbound channel for an inbound transmission from a portable subscriber unit; determine a count of how many base receivers are in a subset of the plurality of base receivers that reliably receive the inbound transmission; and select the frequency reuse plan, based upon the count. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
