Abstract

A wireless communication device monitors a radio frequency (RF) resource for a signal from a remote terminal. The wireless communications device detects the absence of the signal in the monitored RF resource. If the signal is not present in the RF resource, the wireless communications device reallocates processing resources reserved to process the signal to process data from another remote terminal.
