1. A method for allocating control channels in radio communication system comprising steps of:
- providing a plurality of traffic channels in said radio communication system;
providing a plurality of control channels in said radio communication system;
associating a first of said plurality of traffic channels with a first of said plurality of control channels and a second of said plurality of traffic channels with a second of said plurality of control channels; and
allocating said first of said plurality of traffic channels and said first of said plurality of said control channels to said base station in said radiocommunication system.

Abstract
Methods and systems for allocating control channels in a radiocommunication system are disclosed. Control channels are each linked to a dedicated traffic channels such that when the dedicated traffic channel is allocated to a particular cell, so is its respective control channel. Implementation according to the present invention is independent of the particular ACA scheme used to determine traffic channel allocation.
