Abstract

A method and system is disclosed for performing a location registration in a cellular communication network, wherein a subscriber identity of a user equipment is analyzed when a location registration request has been received, and a priority is allocated to the subscriber based on the result of the analysis. Then, the location registration request is admitted or rejected based on the allocated priority and a detected network load. Thereby, the network operator is able to guarantee network services for home subscribers in cases of increased network load.
