Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to select the number of random access channels to form a portion of a frame in a frame-formatted communication system. The number of random access channels allocated to form a portion of a frame is made responsive to quantitative determination of the likely need to communicate thereupon during the frame. In one implementation, selection is made of the number of random access channels to form portions of a frame defined in a HIPERLAN/2 system.
