Abstract

In a cellular communication system, multiple TDMA time slot channels may be assigned to a single mobile station. The network may dynamically adjust, during a call, the number of channels assigned to any one mobile station based on resources available to the network and based on a level of service desired by the mobile station. In this manner, mobile stations having varying bandwidth requirements can be efficiently served by a single communication system.
