Abstract
In a wireless communication system in which a base station communicates with plural mobile stations using a control channel and plural voice (or data) channels, the present invention uses the control channel as a voice channel whenever the other voice channels are in use and a request is received from a mobile station for another voice channel. The base station's use of the control channel varies as the control channel switches from a control channel to a voice channel and back to a control channel again.
