Patent ID: 8711766

Claim:
A method in a radio network controller of a telecommunication system, said radio network controller providing a connection to a radio base station which provides communication services to a user equipment, comprising the steps of: determining, at the radio network controller, a priority indicator with respect to a content of a signalling radio bearer to be sent on a High-Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) from the radio base station to the user equipment; associating, at the radio network controller, said priority indicator to the signalling radio bearer; transmitting, from the radio network controller, to the radio base station the priority indicator associated with said signalling radio bearer; and detecting, by the radio network controller, a lack of downlink radio resources and then increasing a reliability of transmitting the signalling radio bearer to the user equipment by increasing an availability of radio resources which is done by performing at least one of following steps: reconfiguring a channel of one or several radio links; and restricting a transport format of one or several radio links; and wherein the detecting step further comprises determining, prior to determining the priority indicator, a number of losses of signalling radio bearers and if said number exceeds a threshold value then increasing the availability of radio resources by performing at least one of the reconfiguring step and the restricting step and then repeating said step of determining a number of losses of signalling radio bearers after having increased the availability of radio resources.
