A system and method places signaling message frames in a traffic channel carrying voice frames so that the signaling message transmission does not seriously impact voice quality. This is accomplished by producing a first stream of voice encoded packets and a second stream of signaling message packets. The signaling message packets are prioritized in the second stream relative to the voice encoded packets in the first stream. An arbitration element arbitrates between the voice encoded and prioritized signaling message packets, which are multiplexed as a function of this arbitration. The multiplexed voice encoded and prioritized signaling message packets are then transmitted.
