Abstract

An arrangement and a method for communication of control data or multiuser signals between an exchange and a number of radio base stations in a communication system in which each base station is connected to the exchange via a connecting arrangement having a number of control channels. At least the part of the connecting arrangement connecting to the base station has one digital and/or one analog control channel which is dedicated for multiuser signals and multiuser signals from the exchange to a radio base station are sent only on the dedicated control channel(s). The radio base station has a receiving arrangement which checks if an incident signal is a multiuser signal. If it is established that it is a multiuser signal, it is distributed to at least a number of the other control channels of that particular base station.
