1. In a communication system that supports communications amongst a plurality of member communication units, the communication system having:
- a first set of communication resources that are allocatable amongst the member communication units, wherein at least one of the communication resources supports primary control signalling for use by the member communication units to facilitate allocation of the communication resources amongst the member communication units; and
a resource controller for allocating the communication resources amongst the member communication units and for sourcing, at least in part, the primary control signalling;
an improvement wherein;
A) the at least one of the communication resources also supports secondary control signalling for use by at least one other communication system to facilitate system-to-system communications;
B) the resource controller sources, at least in part, the secondary control signalling; and
C) the primary control signalling and secondary control signalling are not directly compatible.

Abstract
Independent communication systems are provided with additional receivers that allow the systems to monitor one another'"'"'s outbound control signalling channels. Secondary control signalling can be interleaved with the primary control signalling information on this communication resource, which secondary control signalling information is intended for reception and use by the monitoring system.
