Abstract
A method and apparatus for data transmission in a time division multiple access (TDMA) mobile communication system, in which one or more time-slots may be allocated to a mobile stations for data transmission. The mobile station indicates, upon setting up a data call, to the mobile communication network a desired level of service for the user data transfer and the mobile communication network assigns the mobile station for a data call a channel configuration consisting of one or more time- slots in connection with call set-up or handover. The assigned channel configuration depends on the resources currently available in the mobile communication network and enables a data channel performance which is within the limits of the desired level of service.
