Method for facilitating transmission of data in a communication system

A method for facilitating transmission of data in a communication system (100) is provided herein. In operation, a base radio of a plurality of base radios (105-n) combines status information corresponding to a plurality of inbound frequencies and transmits the combined status information on a single outbound radio frequency. Further, each of the plurality of inbound radio frequencies corresponds to one of the plurality of base radios. Then, one or more radio terminals (110-n) monitor the single outbound radio frequency to receive the combined status information, determine at least one available inbound radio frequency from the plurality of inbound radio frequencies based on the received combined status information, selects an inbound radio frequency of the at least one available inbound frequency, and transmits the data using the selected inbound radio frequency to the corresponding base radio.
