Abstract
A two way radio communication system (20) includes a plurality of radio units (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) communicating via at least one communication resource (34, 36). At least one first radio unit (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) of the plurality of radio units includes a receiver (48) for monitoring available resources of the at least one communication resource (34, 36) and a processor (46) for maintaining a prioritized list (45) of said available at least one communication resources and for selecting the highest priority available communication resource when the at least one radio unit (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) wishes to enter into communication with at least one second radio unit of the plurality of radio units. In this manner, an optimized communication resource is selected for the communication.
