A method for managing the resources of an access network infrastructure of a cellular radio communication network, the access network infrastructure comprising a plurality of radio access points (4a, 5a) each serving at least one radio cell (7, 6) and able to communicate over a radio interface with at least one user device located in the radio coverage area of at least one of the radio cells (7, 6), the method comprising the following steps, regarding the user device found in the radio coverage area of at least one of the cells of a first radio access point: - determining whether the user device belongs to a predefined set of user devices associated with the first radio access point, - if the user device belongs to the predefined set of user devices associated with the first radio access point, applying a first criterion for establishing a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point, the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link being predefined regarding the transmission quality between the first radio access point and the user device, for the purposes of enabling the establishment of a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point when said first criterion is met by a measured value representative of the quality of the radio transmission between the user device and the first radio access point; said method being characterized by the following steps: - if the user device does not belongs to said predefined set of user devices associated with the first radio access point, applying a second criterion for establishing a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point, said second establishment criterion being predefined regarding the transmission quality between the first radio access point and the user device and being distinct from the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link, for the purposes of enabling the establishment of a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point when said second criterion is met by the representative measured value, wherein the second criterion for establishing a radio communication link requires transmission quality between the first radio access point and user device that is higher than the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link. - determining whether the user device belongs to a predefined set of user devices associated with the first radio access point, - if the user device belongs to the predefined set of user devices associated with the first radio access point, applying a first criterion for establishing a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point, the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link being predefined regarding the transmission quality between the first radio access point and the user device, for the purposes of enabling the establishment of a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point when said first criterion is met by a measured value representative of the quality of the radio transmission between the user device and the first radio access point; - if the user device does not belongs to said predefined set of user devices associated with the first radio access point, applying a second criterion for establishing a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point, said second establishment criterion being predefined regarding the transmission quality between the first radio access point and the user device and being distinct from the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link, for the purposes of enabling the establishment of a radio communication link between the user device and the first radio access point when said second criterion is met by the representative measured value, wherein the second criterion for establishing a radio communication link requires transmission quality between the first radio access point and user device that is higher than the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link.
