A resource allocator for allocating at least two different types of hardware resources for users within a communication system, wherein the system supports up to a first predetermined number of users of one particular type and a second predetermined number of users of a second particular type. The resource allocator provides a mapping of resources, either from fixed resources to shared resources or from shared resources to fixed resources, which is both cost effective and transparent to software.
