Abstract
Noise is measured at one or more base stations in a mobile communication system during periodic silence periods. A periodic silence period is defined for at least one carrier that is independent of reverse link channel frame boundaries. The radio base stations transmits silence parameters defining the periodic silence period to mobile stations, which stop transmitting during the periodic silence periods. A time reference is provided to the mobile stations to synchronize the silence periods for all mobile stations.
