<p>A communication resource is subdivided as a function of time into a plurality of time slots (210). These time slots are further subdivided on a non-periodic basis into at least two random access sub-slots (220), during which communication units (101) may request one or more reserved time slots (240). In response to such requests for reserved time slots from a requesting communication unit during one of the random access sub-slots, one or more reserved time slots are provided for use by the requesting communication unit.</p> |
