Abstract
The invention relates to a method and logical units for providing services in a mobile communication system. In the mobile communication system a number of calls are handled for one user. The calls may have different bearer capabilities. In case a further call with its bearer capability requests a set-up, either another parallel call can be set-up or a call can be put on hold or can be disconnected or can be put in a waiting stage. Further to this the bearer capabilities of the number n+1 of calls are checked in order to determine whether any of the n calls have the same bearer capabilities. Further to this it is checked whether any of the calls fulfills bearer requirements and can be taken on hold. If any of the calls meets the requirement, the call is put on hold and the further call is set up. In addition to this services like a conference call and call forwarding are provided.
