Abstract
Upon detecting a contention between a call request and an active call (404), the call request is added to a busy queue as a contention busied call (412) and at least one logical link is created between the busied call and the active call(s) giving rise to the contention (414). When the active call(s) terminate (502), the at least one logical link is used to identify those busied calls that may be converted to active calls (514), thereby reducing delays associated with the conversion of contention busied calls.
