A method of assigning a traffic channel in a communications system. The method comprises the steps of selecting a first traffic channel; sending a first assignment command, including notification of which channel was selected as the first traffic channel, on a signalling channel to a communications unit; transmitting, in response to receipt from the communications unit of a first reply signal, a first acknowledgement signal at a first power level; selecting, in response to receipt from the communications unit of a second reply signal on the first traffic channel, a second traffic channel different from the first traffic channel; and sending a second assignment command, including notification of which channel was selected as the second traffic channel, on a signalling channel, to the communications unit. Also described is a control unit for assigning a traffic channel in a communications system.
