Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunication method in a wireless cellular telecommunication system having a radio network controller and a base station, where the method receives a number of orthogonal variable spreading factor codes from the radio network controller by the base station, evaluates a load situation by the base station, and in case the orthogonal variable spreading factor codes received from the radio network controller are insufficient for the load situation: requesting a change of the number of orthogonal variable spreading factor codes from the radio network controller by the base station.

Abstract: To be able to modify the service profile of a subscriber of a telecommunications network, a terminal (MS) is proposed having input and output means (KBD; LCD) as well as a processor (&mgr;P) connected thereto which accesses a data memory (MEM) which the subscriber can remove from the terminal and carry with him or her. The data memory is an erasable memory (MEM) which holds data for the service profile assigned to the subscriber. The processor (&mgr;P) controls the input and output means (KBD; LCD) so that the subscriber can have the service profile data output at the terminal and modify them. This reduces the signaling load on the link between the terminal and the telecommunications network. Preferred applications of the invention are in telecommunications networks using authorization cards (SIM), particularly mobile radio networks (MRN).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for deciding on the acceptance or non-acceptance of a call by taking into consideration data signaled in conjunction with the attempt to establish a connection to a certain subscriber who is the called party, wherein in addition to the signaled data other data are considered which identify the actual situation of the certain subscriber and wherein the data are combined according to freely predetermined criteria, as well as a circuit module, a communication terminal, a portable unit, and a network component for a telecommunication network.
