A method for managing multiple, independent, simultaneous calls between a mobile
communications network and a subscriber terminal. For each subscriber terminal
there is a first upper limit which is related to the capacity of its radio interface.
Calls are limited to a number which does not result in exceeding the first upper
limit. There is also, for the number of simultaneous calls, at least one second
upper limit which is not lower than zero. The actual number of simultaneous calls
between the network and the subscriber terminal is monitored. A new call to/from
the subscriber terminal is allowed only if the actual number of simultaneous calls
is less than the at least one second upper limit. Preferably, there is a separate
second upper limit for each subscriber and for each of several call types, such
as voice, data and fax calls.
