The invention relates to a procedure for carrying out checking functions relating to safety management in a mobile communication network and/or in a wireless local network during call setup. In the procedure, information about the degree of occupancy of a data processing apparatus implementing the checking functions in a network element, such as a mobile communication switching center and/or the access node of a wireless local network, is continuously determined, the frequency of execution of the checking functions is adjusted based on the occupancy information thus determined, and checking functions are carried out on the calls according to the checking frequency defined for the respective degree of occupancy. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks described above.
A specific object of the invention is to present a procedure that enables the call setup speed to be kept within reasonable limits in conditions of a high level of occupancy, yet without substantially impairing network safety.
In the procedure of the invention, information about the occupancy of a data processing apparatus implementing checking functions in a network element, such as a mobile communication switching centre and/or the access node of a wireless local network, is continuously determined, the frequency of execution of the checking functions is adjusted based on the occupancy information thus determined, and checking functions are carried out on calls according to the checking frequency defined for the respective degree of occupancy.
The invention has the advantage that the procedure allows a workable and self-adjusting compromise between call setup speed and safety.
In spite of a high degree of occupancy of the data processing apparatus performing checking functions, the call setup time will not substantially exceed the normal setup time because some calls are passed through without a safety check.
However, safety is not substantially impaired as it is very unlikely for the next calls from the same user's mobile station to be passed through unchecked, because the degree of occupancy determining the checking frequency varies continuously.
In an embodiment of the invention, when the degree of occupancy is lower than a predetermined limit, the checking functions are carried out at a specified high checking frequency.
In conditions of low occupancy, every call, or 100% of the calls, could be checked.
In an embodiment of the procedure, when the degree of occupancy is higher than a predetermined limit, the checking functions are carried out at a specified low checking frequency.
In conditions of high occupancy, a definition can be made to the effect that e.
g.
only 5% of the calls are checked
