Abstract

A controller (112) that dynamically configures a number of channels within a communication system (100) having a predetermined bandwidth comprises a processor (710) and memory (714), wherein the processor is programmed to receive a channel request (50) from a subscriber unit (122) for an inbound transmission of information. The processor is further programmed to determine a type of information to be transmitted from the channel request and configure the predetermined bandwidth into a number of channels based on the type of information to be transmitted from the subscriber unit.
