1. A method of communicating data via a wireless communications system, comprising:

  • receiving a first access request including a priority indicator from a first communication unit during at least a first access period;

    determining the priority of the first access request relative to any other pending access requests previously received;

    allocating a communications resource during a first traffic period to the first communication unit for communication of a first portion of a data message when the first communication unit has a highest priority;

    monitoring in a second access period for a further access request by a further communication unit having a higher priority indicator, and when said further access request is received, allocating the communications resource during a second traffic period to the further communication unit; and

    determining in a still further access period that the first communication unit again has the highest priority, and in response thereto allocating the communications resource during a still further traffic period to the first communication unit for communication of a further portion of the data message.
