Method for managing signaling duties, the signaling duties concerning a requested service requested by users assigned to nodes in a communication network, wherein each node comprises a resource management, the method comprising:
- using resource requirements of at least one signaling duty for allocating corresponding communication resources of one of the nodes, the signaling duty for being assigned to a different, further node and the one node being capable for carrying out the at least one signaling duty, using the one node and the further node for determining a compensation and providing the compensation to said one node wherein the compensation concerns at least one different service which at least differs in a required data rate characterized in that a ratio of the data rate of the at least one different service to that of the requested service equals a proportionality factor times a ratio of the service duration of the requested service to that of the at least one different service and wherein the proportionality factor depends on cumulative resource requirements of further services being or being to be provided at least partly contemporarily with the requested service such that resource occupation occurring simultaneously with the requested service is taken into account.
