Abstract
A messaging system transmits to a subscriber unit ( ) on a plurality of channels ( ) operating concurrently. The system transmits ( ) control information for the subscriber unit on a control channel assigned to the subscriber unit, and transmits ( ) a personal message fragment intended for the subscriber unit on a first channel. The system also transmits ( ) a group-call message fragment that may be intended for the subscriber unit on a second channel. Before transmitting, the system schedules ( ) the transmission such that the probability that the personal and group-call message fragments will overlap temporally with one another and that either of the fragments will overlap temporally with the control information is reduced.
