Abstract:
A method is provided for allocating and de-allocating transmission resources in a local multipoint distribution services system. In the method, one of an off-hook after idle signal and an incoming call request signal is detected. A frequency and a time slot for a call are assigned at a base system in response to the detection of the off-hook after idle signal or the incoming call request signal. A customer premises equipment unit is tuned to the assigned frequency in order to deliver the call.
