Abstract
In a mobile communications system (10), system (10) through base station (40) or one or more satellites (20) monitors bandwidth availability and determines acquisition channel resource information. The system (10) broadcasts the acquisition channel resource information to the mobile units (30) via satellite (20). According the acquisition channel resource information, the mobile units (30) are enabled at select time instances to access the acquisition channel, obtain a traffic channel and transmit their messages to base station (40). Thus, mobile units (30) are enabled to access system (10) when resources are available.
