Abstract
A system and method for providing dynamic demand based management of traffic channel allocation in a mobile communications network providing high-speed circuit-switched data services. Traffic channel allocation for the data services is controlled dynamically by an InterWorking Function (IWF) which monitors the status of the associated buffers. The need for additional radio resources and the under-utilization of current radio resources is automatically detected by the IWF which respectively responds by initiating new traffic channel assignments via the Mobile Services switching Center or requesting the Mobile Services switching center deallocate an appropriate portion of the allocated radio spectrum.
