Abstract
A dispatch radio communication system (100) employs a method (200) and apparatus (101) for assigning one of a console station's control modules (113-115) to a communication resource. The assignment is initiated by associating (203) each control module (113-115) with a group of supported resource features and associating (205) each communication resource with a group of employed resource features. The latter association is then used to establish (211 ) a minimum set and an extended set of resource feature requirements for a particular communication resource that is to be added to a console station (109). The former association is used to identify (217) a group of candidate control modules (113-115) at the console station (109) that can support at least the minimum set of resource feature requirements. Upon identification of the candidate group (113-115), the candidate control module (e.g., 113) that supports a maximum number of the extended set of resource feature requirements is automatically assigned (225) to the particular communication resource.
