A radio resource method and apparatus involves allocating transmission
channels to and from a node (26) based on the system load requirement.
The load requirement is determined from the quality of service requirement
which, in turn, is assessed from the data rate, the bit energy to noise
power ratio and the signal classification produced by a converter and
sorter (38) in response to signal transmission requests. A maximum load
generator (40) delivers the maximum load from these parameters. A core
calculator and assignor (42) performs a predetermined algorithm on the
outputs of the converter and sorter (38) and the maximum load generator
(40) and in response thereto controls a channel selector (30) which
selects the channels to and from node (26).
