  • Patent number: 6429771
    Abstract: A messaging system transmits to a subscriber unit (122) on a plurality of channels (410) operating concurrently. The system transmits (1108) control information for the subscriber unit on a control channel assigned to the subscriber unit, and transmits (1110) a personal message fragment intended for the subscriber unit on a first channel. The system also transmits (1112) a group-call message fragment that may be intended for the subscriber unit on a second channel. Before transmitting, the system schedules (1106) 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.
