an ascending count and finds channel 3 is “hs”. Since there were 68 timeslots unused on Link
B, the channel is reallocated onto Link B (shaded box), now leaving 44 timeslots unused.

In the second step, channel 9 is found to be seeking backup. This channel has a failover rate
of 24 timeslots (i.e., a drop from 38.4Kbps to 9.6Kbps). Since this fits within the 44 timeslots
available, the channel is reallocated onto Link B, leaving 20 timeslots.

In the third step, the next high-priority channel seeking backup is channel 15. As in the
previous channel, there is a downspeed to 24 timeslots; but, there are only 20 timeslots
available. At this point the system searches for low-priority channels on Link B to bump and
free up timeslots, needing a minimum of 4 timeslots (24 – 20). Low priority channels are
numbered 2, 11, and 13. Channel 2 is first, and is bumped in order to claim 12 more
timeslots. Then channel 15 is reallocated to Link B, leaving 8 timeslots.
