1. A method of assigning an optimum system control parameter to a mobile station in a wireless communications system having one or more transceivers, comprising the steps of:

  • dividing the coverage area of the communications system into a plurality of defined geographic regions irrespective of the locations of the one or more transceivers;

    assigning a code to each of the geographic regions irrespective of the locations of the one or more transceivers, wherein the code corresponds to a system control parameter optimized for that geographic region;

    locating a mobile station as being within a first geographic region of the plurality of defined geographic regions;

    providing the mobile station with the code for the first geographic region and the corresponding system control parameter optimized for the first geographic region;

    locating the mobile station as being within a second geographic region of the plurality of defined geographic regions;

    comparing the code assigned to the second geographic region with the code assigned to the first geographic region; and

    providing the mobile station with the code for the second geographic region and the corresponding system control parameter optimized for the second geographic region if, during the step of comparing, the code assigned to the first geographic region is different from the code assigned to the second geographic region.
