Summary:A radio communication system (100) includes a repeater (111) that operates with a transceiver (132) on a channel hopping sequence. The repeater receives a request for repeater service transmitted by the transceiver (410), and responds by obtaining a communication slot on the channel hopping sequence (420). The repeater then executes a call setup procedure with the transceiver and with other participants of a communicating group (430). Preferably, the call setup procedure provides the repeater with information on the suitability of the communication slot (440). The repeater then retransmits information received on an inbound channel on a corresponding outbound channel using the communication slot, as the slot transitions across the channel hopping sequence (460, 470).
