Abstract
A base station comprises a plurality of transceivers, one of which normally performs verifications, but is able to handle traffic channels at time of high demand. When it is desired to block one transceiver, for example for maintenance purposes, calls allocated to that transceiver can be handed off to other transceivers before the device is fully blocked.
