Claim:
A method for optimizing the load distribution between a first mobile radio network using a first standard and a second mobile radio network using a second standard, the method comprising: providing accurate information concerning the type of connection request to a radio network control unit for a radio access network (RAN) in the earliest possible phase of establishing a connection with a mobile radio device; on the basis of this information, allocating resources between the two mobile radio networks before the RAN has established a connection with a core network of one of the mobile radio networks, the mobile radio device indicating in an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST, using the first standard, whether the connection request is voice, video, or some other classified connection; on the basis of this information, establishing in the RAN a corresponding radio bearer by transmitting an RRC connection setup message to the mobile radio device which is acknowledged by the mobile radio device using an RRC connection setup complete message; and then assigning, by means of a radio bearer setup message, a radio bearer suitable for the connection request; continuing standardized NAS signaling; and then sending an RAB ASSIGNMENT message by the core network to the radio access network.
