Abstract:
A method of assigning service channels to traffic in a communication system in which a subscriber's terminal is in communication with a base station through radio signals, comprising the steps of:(a) reserving a predetermined number of channels in advance for only high priority traffic having a predetermined highest service rank; and (b) assigning the channels reserved in advance, to said high priority traffic, only when there is no other unassigned channel to be assigned to said high priority traffic, wherein, prior to assigning high priority traffic to unassigned channels reserved for only high priority traffic, high priority traffic is assigned to channels that are unassigned; high priority traffic is assigned to unassigned channels reserved only for high priority traffic only when all unreserved channels are assigned; and a low priority traffic is refused to be assigned to an unassigned channel reserved for only high priority traffic when all remaining channels are assigned.
