In an implementation of multiple simultaneous calls for a mobile station
in a mobile communication system, a common traffic channel is allocated
to several simultaneous calls of the mobile station, so that the calls
share capacity of the common channel. Logical links are established for
each call inside a common radio link protocol or link access control
protocol, established over the common traffic channel between the mobile
station and an interworking function. The common traffic channel is
allocated when the first call or calls are set up, and the capacity of
the traffic channel is adjusted dynamically during the calls. The common
traffic channel capacity is increased or the allocated capacity is
reallocated when a new call is added to the traffic channel.
Correspondingly, the capacity is decreased or reallocated when a call is
cleared from the common traffic channel.
