1. A process for selecting a neighbor list in a CDMA system comprising the steps of:

  • determining a set of base stations consisting of all base stations able to communicate with a mobile unit at a location based on received signal power level from the base station compared to a power level of all signals received at the location, determining a probability of communication at said location for each base station within said set of base stations able to communicate with a mobile unit at a location, identifying each possible combination of one or more base stations from said set of base, computing a probability of communication at said location for each said possible combination of base stations based upon said probability of communication for each of said base stations in said combination determined in light of the probability of communication of the remainder of said base stations in said set, and compiling from said computed probabilities of said combinations, a neighbor list for each base station indicating the relative probability of each base station serving a location relative to each neighbors on the list.
