Abstract
A cellular communication network node comprises signal processing logic arranged to transmit at least one direct signalling channel indicator bit. The signal processing logic, upon receipt of a message to be transmitted, sets at least one direct signalling channel indicator bit to indicate that a direct signalling channel is active in at least one unit of resource. The signal processing logic re-allocates the at least one unit of resource for use by at least one channel other than the direct signalling channel when no direct signalling channel messages are to be transmitted.
