    b) when the first number of wireless communication resources are available, allocating, by the central controller, the first number of wireless communication resources to the communication unit;

    c) responsive to allocation of the first number of wireless communication resources, transmitting, by the communication unit, portions of the message via the first number of wireless communication resources;

    d) monitoring, by the central controller, transmission of the portions of the message to determine a system grade of service; and

    e) allocating, by the central controller, a second number of wireless communication resources to the communication unit based on the system grade of service.
