A method of negotiating a service configuration in a communication system in which a first communication device originates a communication service with a second communication device, wherein the first communication device shares at least one dedicated channel with the second communication device, the method comprising the steps of:

  • transmitting, from said first communication device, an information data signal over a first dedicated channel;

    receiving, at said second communication device, said transmitted information data signal;

    generating, in said first communication device, a request message indicative of a proposed service configuration;

    multiplexing, in said first communication device, said request message with said information data signal to produce a multiplexed signal allowing both the request message and the information data to be concurrently transmitted;

    transmitting said multiplexed signal over said first dedicated channel;

    receiving said multiplexed signal at said second communication device;

    determining, in said second communication device, whether said proposed service configuration is acceptable to said second communication device;

    generating, in said second communication device, a response message in accordance with said determination; and

    transmitting said response message over a second dedicated channel.
