Abstract
Methods of reconfiguring a cell regarding the number of signaling channels in relation to the number of traffic channels. Each signaling channel (SDCCH/8) contains a number of dedicated control channels (SDCCH), wherein a number of dedicated control channels are included in a basic configuration of control channels. If the channel utilization indicates that a basic configuration of control channels is congested for more than a certain percentage of time, a dedicated control channel is added to the basic configuration. If it is determined that the basic configuration, less one control channel, is congested less than a certain percentage of time then a control channel is removed from the basic configuration.
