Abstract
A method and apparatus for integrated processing of narrow-band communications and wide-band communications is generally accomplished when a communications controller (25) receives a request for a narrow-band communication. The request includes identity of at least one targeted communication device (32). Having received the request, the communications controller determines whether the at least one targeted communication device is participating in a wide-band communication on a wide-band channel. If so, the communications controller causes a narrow-band communication to be mixed with the wide-band communication. The mixed signal is then provided to the at least one targeted communication device on the wide-band channel.
