A radio access network (RAN) may assign a wireless channel from a wireless coverage area to a wireless communication device (WCD) by transmitting a channel assignment message to the WCD. In situations where transmitting the channel assignment message is likely to cause the channel assignment message to be lost or damaged, the RAN may delay transmission of the channel assignment message or refrain from transmitting the channel assignment message. For example, if the WCD is receiving signals from the RAN with a poor signal strength, the RAN may wait until the WCD has had an opportunity to improve its coverage before transmitting the channel assignment message.
