Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9716931A1] A communication system (115) receives a paging signal (103) from a mobile station (100) requesting service and, if the paging signal (103) contains information identifying the service request as an emergency (502), a communication channel in a base transceiver station (105, 107, 109) is directly allocated to service the mobile station (100). If a communication channel is not immediately available, the communication system (115) will try to make a communication channel available. A distinct aspect of the communication system (115) is that it monitors an indicator (600) representative of the emergency call traffic on the communication system (115). Based upon the status of the indicator (600), the communication system (115) takes appropriate measures (440) to provide priority service for those mobile stations (100) having a priority access class. By providing priority service in this manner, the communication system (115) efficiently allocates the communication resource to the mobile stations (100) with priority access classes which need those resources urgently.
