CDMA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WHICH SELECTIVELY SUPPRESSES DATA TRANSMISSIONS DURING ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

摘要

The invention provides a base station control device in a communication system for selectively allocating a required bandwidth to support communications between a first and a second node of a wireless communication network via a base station (18), the device comprising means (310, 312) for determining a desired bandwidth for a communication from the first node to the second node; means (312) for allocating the desired bandwidth in the base station (18) for said communication; and means (314) for blocking a communication from the second node until the base station (18) confirms that the desired bandwidth has been allocated for said communication from the first node to the second node. The invention also provides a method for selectively allocating a required bandwidth within a base station controller of a communication system.
