Abstract

Optimization of the usage of radio resources in mobile telecommunication systems, particularly during the call set up stage, is accomplished by using a bearer allocation method, which allows late allocation of resources without increasing the risk of not obtaining the desired resources. This is realized using a two-phase bearer allocation mechanism, in which the bearer is only reserved early in the call set up process, and allocated later, when the called party answers or the transmission can otherwise be observed to begin.
