Abstract

A communication resource that includes a communication channel is allocated in response to a received communication resource access request, wherein the access request is received while a message received via the communication channel is being demodulated. In response to receiving the request, a grant of access to the communication channel is generated and transmitted, which grant authorizes the source of the access request to use the communication channel.
