Abstract
In a mobile radio communications system, first radio resources are allocated to a first mobile radio communication. The term “radio resources” relates to one or more resources used to support a mobile radio communication and may include, for example, radio bandwidth, transmit power, signal and data processing hardware and software resources, radio transceiving resources, etc. A second group of radio resources is allocated to a second mobile radio communication. When a block of user information needs to be transmitted that requires an additional amount of radio resources, the first and second mobile radio communications are interrupted or their service levels are reduced for a brief time period. At least part of the block of information is transmitted during that time period using at least some of the first and second radio resources allocated for the first and second mobile radio communications. After that time period, transmission of the first and second mobile radio communications is resumed at full (or partial) service levels.
