A method (300), system (400), base station (500), head-end unit (600), and subscriber unit (700) provide for efficient resource management in a communication system or group of communication systems supporting a plurality of communication units, where different communication units may have varying resource size requirements. The method includes the steps of: determining a resource size requirement of a communication unit of the plurality of communication units, determining a hierarchical level within the hierarchy that the communication unit is to be assigned to based on the resource size requirement of the communication unit, and assigning the communication unit to an available resource slot in the hierarchical level in accordance with a predetermined hierarchical management scheme that maximizes a total number of remaining available slots in the hierarchy.

[ We claim:] [1.] A method for providing efficient resource management for one of a communication system and a group of communication systems, supporting a plurality of communication units, wherein the communication units in the communication system/systems have resource size requirements that may differ, wherein the number of resource size requirements is greater than two, the method comprising the steps of:A) determining resource size requirements of the communication units;B) determining a hierarchical level that the communication units are to be assigned to based on resource size requirements of the communication units; andC) assigning the communication units to available resource slots in the hierarchical level in accordance with a predetermined hierarchical management scheme that maximizes a total number of remaining available slots in a hierarchy.
