Abstract
A method for dynamically controlling the length of an R.sub.-- DATA message on a random access channel is disclosed. Initially, a set of threshold values for traffic load levels are established with respect to the usage of a random access (RACH) channel. A particular R.sub.-- DATA message length is then associated with each of these threshold values. The RACH channel is monitored to track the traffic load on the RACH, and once one of the established threshold levels are reached, the R.sub.-- DATA message length is set to the value associated with that threshold level. R.sub.-- DATA messages are then transmitted according to the new length.
