ABSTRACT:
In a system (BS2) of communicating units a message (308) is transmitted from a transmitting unit (301) to a resource group comprising at least two resource units (303). The content of the message (308) is to be handled by one of the resource units 303. The invention solves the problem of achieving a desired load distribution over the resource units (303) without delay or congestion. The message (308) is transmitted to all resource units (303), causing all units to start receiving the message (308). A load distributor (304) selects one of the resource units (303) to handle the message (308) and the other resource units (303) interrupt the reception. The system may be, for example, a base station (BS2) connected to an exchange in a mobile communication system, the transmitting unit being a transceiver unit (301) and the resource units being X.25 units (303) handling X.25 links (103) for communication with the exchange. The transceiver unit (301) transmits a message (308) to all the X.25 units (303). The X.25 unit (303) selected by the load distributor (304) forwards the content of the message (308) to the exchange, while the other X.25 units (303) ignore the content of the message (308).
