1. A method, in a wireless communications system, of evaluating a received signal, comprising the steps of:

  • obtaining a long term average value and a short term value indicating the strength of a received signal;

    determining a characteristic of the received signal according to a separate consideration of both the long term average value and the short term value;

    determining that a signal strength based trigger condition exists when both the long term average value and the short term average value exceed a predetermined threshold; and

    if the short term average value is not greater than said predetermined threshold, continuing checking said short term average value until one of both said short and long term average values is greater than said predetermined threshold.
