Abstract
An orphan condition is mitigated in a spread-spectrum communication system by determining when a remote unit (113) is likely to become an orphan (315) and adjusting remote unit (113) operating parameters (360) to force additional base stations (101, 102) to be added the remote unit's (113) active set. In particular, when it is determined that a remote unit (113) is likely to become an orphan, T.sub.-- ADD and T.sub.-- COMP are adjusted so that the remote unit (113) is forced to add additional base stations (101, 102) to its active set. Increasing the number of base stations (101, 102) that a remote unit (113) is communicating with greatly reduces the probability that the remote unit (113) will become an orphan.
