Abstract:
1. A system for access handling comprising: a core network access packet data node, a core network access edge node, means holding subscriber data, and means holding policy related data, and a number of admission control means, the core network access packet data node and the core network access edge node are configured to hold or receive access priority related information comprising a subscriber related access allocation priority parameter relating to a subscriber requesting a network resource, wherein the core network access packet data node and the core network access edge node each comprises preliminary access decision means for deciding if a network resource request is to be processed, queued, or rejected, said preliminary access decision means comprising means for establishing a relationship between current network load and the access priority related information or means adapted to compare current network load with a given threshold value, and to, if the relationship meets a given criterion or if the current network loads exceeds the given threshold value, decide that network requests for which the access priority related information fulfils given criteria, or defining a high priority, are to be given preliminary access, that service allocation priority holding means are provided holding service priority related information comprising a service priority parameter generated based on service importance or service importance and user category, that the core network access packet data node and the core network access edge node each further comprises final decision means for making a final decision relating to a grant or rejection of the request given preliminary access based on the service priority parameter, at least some of said final decision means being comprised by or communicating with a respective admission control means, wherein the preliminary access decision means of the core network access packet data node provides a preliminary decision regarding the network resource request to the preliminary access decision means of the core network access edge node, and wherein the final access decision means of the core network access edge node provides the final decision regarding the network resource request to the final access decision means of the core network access packet data node.
