1. A method, comprising: at a radio network,
determining a threshold value for a quantity to be measured;
measuring said quantity in order to obtain a measured value;
comparing said measured value with said threshold value;
deciding whether to admit a new user based on the result of said comparison; and
autotuning said threshold value by a predetermined stepped value using quality measurements in order to define a required quality of a link, uplink or downlink, wherein said quality measurements are gathered during high load on said link.
