A cellular communication system (10), as shown in FIG.1, contains a wideband communication resource utilised to support traffic, including data packets (69), between subscriber units (32-44) and base station equipment (12-20) arranged to administer system access on a cell-by-cell basis. A packet scheduler (70) within infrastructure of the communication system (10) is operationally responsive to a determined level of uplink loading of the wideband communication resource (68) and acts to assess and then selectively notify an availability of data packet resources supported by the wideband communication resource (68) to subscriber units requiring data packet transmissions (69). |
