Abstract
Method and apparatus for reducing the perceptible impact to user traffic during a hand-off process in a full duplex wireless communications system having subscriber units and base stations, the subscriber unit being responsible for locating candidate base stations where the subscriber unit monitors the voice activity of the subscriber unit user and/or network user (connected to the base station) and uses the monitored activity to determine when it may miss one or more signal transmissions or receptions to search for a candidate base station without perceptibly impacting the voice traffic between the subscriber unit user and network user.
