A Radio Network Controller, RNC, and a method performed by the RNC for managing the utilization of a RACH of a WCDMA communication network wherein the RNC is associated with an RBS, wherein the RACH is an uplink channel between UEs and the RBS are provided. The method comprises determining a current resource utilization level of the RACH; setting, based on the determined resource utilization, a value of at least one Radio Link Control, RLC, parameter that controls the disposition of a UE to transmit data on the RACH; and employing the at least one RLC parameter to at least one UE being in a Cell Forward Access Channel, CELL_FACH, state or entering into the CELL_FACH state.

A method for determining a priority of a mobile subscriber in a cellular network. The method is performed in a radio network node and comprises the steps of: obtaining a temporary mobile subscriber identity, TMSI, associated with a priority affecting event; storing the TMSI associated with the event, as at least part of an indication of priority; receiving a connection request from a wireless terminal of the mobile subscriber, the connection request comprising a TMSI; and determining a priority of the wireless terminal based on whether the TMSI of the connection request matches a stored TMSI or not.
