It does not distinguish between narrowband and wideband communications; it responds to subscriber (102) messages requesting subscriber functions for both narrowband and wideband communications by directing the resource management arrangement to establish and dismantle logical call paths and to create and destroy logical and physical connections between the logical channels and the logical call paths. The resource management arrangement distinguishes between narrowband and wideband communications; it responds to the directions by allocating and deallocating either narrowband or wideband network physical resources, as appropriate, for physical channels and physical call paths corresponding to the logical channels and the logical call…
