FIELD: communication systems using multiple access packet redundancy protocol. SUBSTANCE: physical channels required for packet transmissions is assigned on purpose to one mobile station , the so-called VIP MS. The latter is given exclusive priority of using these assigned physical channels for burst data, if necessary. VIP MS is always provided with negotiated frequency band available for burst data transmission. Moreover, since VIP mobile station is given highest exclusive priority for access to these physical channels (the so-called VIP priority) by assigning random access redundant channel allocated for VIP MS, alternate delays in random access typical of prior-art systems do not exist any more. Since VIP MC is always planned to be first for downlink transmission and redundant access to uplink communications is provided, only permanent delay interval is meant for uplink and downlink communications. EFFECT: guaranteed frequency bands for both packet transmission and for permanent delay in uplink and downlink communications. 44 cl, 7 dwg
