Claim:
1. A method for a user entity adapted for interacting with a mobility management node (MMN), the method comprising: the user entity (UE) initiating a request for service, which step of initiating the request for service comprises: a) the UE determining that the UE belongs to a low priority class and b) the UE, in response to determining that the UE belongs to the low priority class, transmitting to the MMN an Extended Service Request (ESR) comprising a low priority class indication; and the UE responding to a network initiated request for service, wherein the UE is configured such that: if the network initiated request for service is a request for a circuit switched (CS) service, then the UE transmits to the MMN an ESR that does not comprise a low priority class indication regardless of the fact that the UE belongs to the low priority class, thereby disregarding whether the user entity belongs to the low priority class, and if the network initiated request for service is a request for a packet switched (PS) service, then the UE transmits to the MMN a Service Request (SR).
