Abstract

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.
